The secrets of Angel
The Death of Laim and the birth of Angelus
Angel was born in 1727, in Galway, Ireland, with the birth name of Laim. Having an extremely strict father, Laim did not have a good relationship with him and at the age of 26 after they had a falling out, he renounced his family and left home.
After spending to much time at the bar and getting into a drunken brawl, Laim is easily seduced by a female vampire, Darla. Darla was desperately seeking a mate, so seducing Laim was especially easy. Once bitten, he was sired into the lineage of The Order of Aurelius. The patriarch of his new family, the Master, was one of the most powerful vampires of the millennium.
Shortly after digging his way out of the grave, Laim 's first kill was the graveyard caretaker. Laim then headed right to his childhood home, with Darla tagging along. When Laim entered his childhood home, his sister Cathy thought he had come back as true "angel", when in fact, she ended up his second victim. The demise of his parent's brought the greatest amount of pleasure on the first night of his awakening, as he took his time with them.
From this time forward, Angelus, said to be "the one with the angelic face," slaughtered and maimed everyone he had ever known.

Angelus in the 1800's
Around 1860, Darla introduced Angelus to Drusilla, an innocent young girl who was gifted with the ability to see the future. Angelus ruthlessly played and toyed with Drusilla until she lost her sanity; as he made her his personal pet project. Posing as a priest, he tried to convince Drusilla that the visions she had were the work of the devil and that there was no hope for her soul. His final act of cruelty was the merciless slaughter of her family, which was done right in front of her.
Escaping into the countryside to a convent, she intended to become a nun, in hopes that the horrors that occured before her very eyes would free her of the pain and anguish Angelus put her through. Angelus then followed Drusilla to the convent, and on the day of her vows, he massacred all of the nuns. Drusilla, now insane, is forced to watch Angel and Darla in a sexual act. He then sires her into vampiredom.
The three of them, all savage at this point, travel to Budapest. Around 1880 they return to England, killing mortals for sport. Drusilla, at this point, wants a comapanion of her own that she can spend the rest of eternity with, thus she sired a quite, insecure poet named William. William, once reborn, was resurrected as Spike. Around 1898, in Romania, Angelus, Darla, Spike and Drusilla caused great destruction with thousands of deaths. It was a birthday gift that Darla gave to Angelus that turned his future around. Darla brought a young gypsy girl to him as his birthday gift. Darla did not know that the young girl was the favorite daughter of the Romanian tribe known as the clan of Kalderash. The elders of the tribe were so enraged that they cursed Angelus by restoring his soul. By doing such, he was forced to live forever, anguished over all of the brutal acts that he had ever committed. Darla, Drusilla and Spike slaughtered every member of the entire tribe to avenge their fallen leader, Angelus. By this time it was already to late, as Angelus had gained back his humanity. In an attempt to redefine and recreate himself, Angelus deserted the remaining three and when out on his own.

In the 1900's Angelus repents to becomes Angel
Although Angelus was no longer interested in slaughtering and butchering humans as prey for his survival, he was still in love with Darla and greatly struggled with living without her. In the early 1900's he searched all over for Darla and finally found her in China, still with Drusilla and Spike. Not wanting to live without her, and in an attempt to win her back, Angelus hid the fact that he was not longer a killer of the innocent, thus he had to fake the prior lust for human bloodshed and murderous antics. It was only a short time after Angelus and Darla hooked back up that Darla became suspicious of Angelus. Darla started to notice that he was only killing those that committed murder or acts of rape and other forms of violent acts. With this realization, Darla put Angelus to the ultimate test, by brining him a human infant to feed on. Having his soul returned to him, Angelus could not kill the infant so he scooped him up into his arms and leapt from the window, leaving his lover Darla alone once more.
Around 1910, Angelus moved to America and with this move changed his name to Angel, in an attempt to remove himself from his past. It was during these years that Angel repented for the sins he committed and lived his life in transient, feeding on rats for his survival. Angel roamed about America and ended up living in an alley in New York, hitting rock bottom, consumed with self pity and guilt. His life didn't take a turn until 1996 when he meet Whistler, a demon that was sent to help guide Angel onto his path to redemption. Whistler convinced Angel to help fight against the evil that was wrecking havoc in California, by joining forces with Buffy, a chosen vampire slayer.

1997 Angel as we know him
Although Angel first saw Buffy in Los Angles, he never approached her, he just monitored her from afar. In 1997, Angel followed Buffy and her mother to Sunnydale, were the two of them moved while her parents were in the mist of a divorce. After an attack on Buffy one night outside of the Bronze, a local nightclub, Angel saved the slayer and she invited him to stay the night at her house. The attraction between the two was immediate and the next day after Buffy returns from school, she finds Angel waiting for her. With the attraction evident to the two of them, they share a passionate kiss. Unfortunately, the desires that Angel feels for Buffy erupts and Angel’s true vampire self breaks loose. He feels he has no choice but to detach and run away.
As the two struggle with their feelings for one another, Darla shows up in Sunnydale with the thought of wining back Angel. In an attempt to put space between Buffy and Angel, she attacks Buffy’s mother and sets Angel up to take the fall. Coming to the painful resolution that their relationship will never work, they share one last kiss. As their lips touch for what they think is a final goodbye, the silver cross that Angel gave Buffy burns into his chest, forever leaving him with a permanent reminder of their love.
Although the forces of good and evil separated Buffy and Angel, fate brought them back together. It is evident that they truly love each other, and on Buffy’s 17th birthday, she gives up her virginity to Angel, not knowing that the curse that was put upon him centuries earlier would steal his soul away the moment he experienced a moment of true happiness in his life. Angel is once again soulless and reverts back to the ways of Angelus.
