He will then open his mouth to create a vortex, and suck the whole world into Hell. The only way to close the vortex is to shed the blood of the one who pulled out the sword. When Acathla’s tomb was dug up just outside of Sunnydale, Angelus awakened him. Willow managed to restore Angel’s soul, but it was too late, and Buffy had to send her lover to Hell in order to save the world.

Adam: Buffy described him as ‘The Terminator without the bashful charm.’ Designed by Professor Maggie Walsh, Adam was a Frankenstein’s monster created from demon, human and electronic parts.

Adam had a design flaw that caused him to murder Professor Walsh and Doctor Angleman. He then reanimated their bodies as zombie lab slaves, to aid him in the completion of project 314. He also killed Forrest. Buffy was only able to defeat him when the Scoobies performed an enjoining spell. He referred to Maggie Walsh as Mother.

This amulet was purported to give the demon his strength, and was later buried with Gleaves. Balthazar had the power of telekinesis.

Willow and Xander were vamps, and the Master’s favourites. The Master had risen, and made The Bronze his lair.

Buffy was a scarred and battle-hardened Slayer living in Cleveland.

When her power began to drain, she went to see Rack, and killed him after absorbing all of his magic. Too strong even for Buffy, Willow was held in a binding field temporarily by Giles. She escaped, and drained him of the magic he had borrowed from a Devonshire coven. This good/natural magic put her back in touch with her feelings. Unable to cope, she went to Kingman’s Bluff to end the world. Here she raised the temple of Housapexa from the ground, but Xander defeated Black Magic Willow by telling her that he loved her.
