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 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.

    Balthazar: Huge, five hundred pound demon that sat in a vat of water, constantly having it ladled over him so that he didn’t dry out. Richard Wilkins had driven Balthazar and his minions, El Eliminati, from Sunnydale one hundred years ago. A man named Gleaves had at this time taken Balthazar’s amulet from him. This amulet was purported to give the demon his strength, and was later buried with Gleaves. Balthazar had the power of telekinesis. He returned to Sunnydale when he heard that his old enemy, The Mayor, was soon to ascend. He sent El Eliminati to search for his amulet. Buffy electrocuted him by dropping an electric lamp into his vat.

    Band candy: The students had to sell forty bars of band candy each to pay for new uniforms for the marching band. This highly addictive candy was contaminated by Ethan Rayne. Anyone eating it began acting like a teenager. With all the adults in Sunnydale reduced to hormonal adolescents, the Mayor was free to collect a tribute for the demon Lurconis. Under the influence of the candy Giles/Ripper stole a coat for Joyce, and had sex with her twice on a police car after beating the policeman unconscious.

    Ben: male nurse who cared for Joyce when she first went for tests at the hospital. Dated Buffy briefly. Turned out to be the mortal half of The Beast.

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

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.
