Here we have Angel and his sire, Darla, back when he was first turned in the 1700's or so. Darla is, like, 400, years old. She was a prostitute dying of syphilis or something when the master (see Buffy) turned her. She's a cold one.
Yup, Darla was raised from the dead at the end of season one. She wreaked madness and mayhem, but eventually she and Angel did the nasty. Lo and behold, she gets pregnant. That in and of itself is a shock since vampires are sterile. She gave birth to a boy, then killed herself.
This is the boy here. Angel was the proud papa, named him Connor. Connor, though, got snatched by an enemy of Angel's and taken to a hell dimension. Connor was raised there and came back a few weeks later as you see above. The creatures in the dimension he was in called him the Destroyer. Kid can kick serious ass. Plus he can go into daylight. He's super fast too. Anyways, he grew up hating Angel and really jacked Angel up. Eventually he gets kicked out the group. By that time Cordelia had gone to heaven and come back evil. He and she hooked up, did the nasty and she got preggers. Being as Cordy was half demon at the time and Connor here is some Vamp hybrid thing, the 'baby' cordy delivered was no ordinary thing. The birth of this kid put Cordy into a coma from which she never woke up.
This is what Cordy gave birth to. I kid you not she was born exactly as you see her here. Anyone who looked at her immediately worshipped her. It was like a cult. Within a week, she had half the world worshipping her via TV and satellite. She ate people. She was clearly not human. Eventually Fred got her blood mixed with Jasmine's (that's her name, and the blood thing is a long story) and saw her for what she really was which was...
...this. Once everybody else in the gang got their blood mixed, they saw her like that too and sought to bring her down. Not easy since everybody else worshipped her. But Angel traveled to this special dimension where Jasmine used to rule and got a hold of her real name, which stripped her of her powers when spoken. Then Connor went crazy and killed her.
Remember when Fred got taken over by a powerful being? Well this is how she looked. Called herself Illyria. She could bend time around herself, was super-duper strong. No joke, nobody in the Angel world could take her. Finally her powers were too great for the body she was in, so Angel and crew stripped her of some--some!-- and she was forced to hang with them and help them out. A powerful ally, this chic. No nonsense.Ok, I have a student so I have to run. Lata!
