* AffablyEvil: Even though she's a blood sucking fiend with a penchant for betrayal, she's really nice, even to her prey.
* AllGirlsLikePonies: She had an affinity with unicorns. While living with Spike in his underground liar, she hung up posters of unicorns along with many other unicorn paraphernalia. When she led her own gang, one of her minions, former boyfriend Brad Konig, took the liberty of bringing her a 10-inch ceramic unicorn figure imported from Thailand priced at $12.95. She also possessed a wooden carousel unicorn which Buffy used to kill another minion of Harmony's. While working at Wolfram & Hart, Harmony decorated her desk with unicorns as well as having unicorn stickers on her blood thermos. To please her, Clem made these creatures real, a joyful surprise to her. After this, she rode an unicorn for her arrival at VampCon. Her throne room in the 23rd century was also decorated with unicorn and Pomeranian motifs.
* AlphaBitch: Attempted to takeover Cordelia's position as this. It didn't really work out.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: She was an obnoxious but not particularly stupid SmugSnake in her earlier appearances before turning into the airheaded HarmlessVillain she is known for. Being turned into a blood sucking demon just might have something to do with that: Other vampires lose their soul. Harmony lost her brain.

* DumbassNoMore: She's ''so'' much cleverer in the comics than her TV-self that she might as well be an entirely new character with a few shared traits. While exposing vampires to the world was an accident, the comics continued to show her having the savvy to turn public opinion very pro-vampire and effectively become a leader of the undead community. By Season 10, she is able to expertly analyse Spike and Buffy and wittily comment on the potential cracks in their relationship. Her dramatic increase in IQ is never explained or even really commented on.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: In the Buffyverse, vampires are the result of a demon's essence replacing a human's soul, which builds a demon "half-breed" from the host's body, memories and personality--though it often twists the latter into it's darkest extreme, and pretty much completely destroys their ability to empathize regardless of how kind they were in life.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Creator/JossWhedon admits that after Cordelia went insane, fell into a coma, and was absent in ''Angel'''s final season, the writers felt that the show had lost an important puzzle piece. Enter Harmony. Dim-witted, blonde, and completely peculiar vampire who seems to carry the personality of Cordelia circa Season 1 of ''Buffy''. They even went as far as adding her as a main character in the opening credits for the final six episodes. Though since Harmony had been there since the beginning (and being one of the Cordettes) her character was already known and accepted. In fact, Harmony was supposed to be a recurring character once she arrived on ''Angel''...but they forgot about her until the final season. Then, they ended up having her in every episode, so it was somewhat necessary to make her part of the main cast

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Creator/JossWhedon admits that after Cordelia went insane, fell into a coma, and was absent in ''Angel'''s final season, the writers felt that the show had lost an important puzzle piece. Enter Harmony. Dim-witted, blonde, and completely peculiar vampire who seems to carry the personality of Cordelia circa Season 1 of ''Buffy''.

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:In General]]

* AlwaysChaoticEvil: As they have no human souls, vampires are evil and treacherous by nature. In theory, at least - the example of Spike, for instance, throws some doubt on that. While no saint, he seemed to be relatively benevolent by vampire standards until the unfortunate incident with his mother, and Angelus becoming his SenseiForScoundrels. His behavior also improved (slowly) while chipped, to the point that he sought out a way to get his soul back. Granted, it's made fairly clear that even he ''needed'' the soul to fully beat his evil nature.
* BurnTheUndead: One of the ways to kill vampires is setting them on fire and burning them to ash.
* CurseThatCures: Turning into a vampire "cured" Ford of brain cancer, [[spoiler: Spike's mom from worsening tuberculosis]], Darla from syphilis, and Spike himself from needing glasses. Unfortunately for Drusilla, it doesn't help with mental illness.
* DeathOfPersonality: Vampires in general are portrayed as this. While many still retain a portion of the person they were before, they're essentially humans who die and have their soul replaced by a demon, though they retain their human memories; Giles outright tells Xander as such in "The Harvest" when he's convinced that Jesse must still retain some humanity inside.
-->'''Giles''': You listen to me. Jesse is ''dead''. You have to remember that when you see him, you're not looking at your friend. You're looking at the thing that killed him.
* DecapitationRequired: Beheading is one of the few ways to kill a vampire.
* DemonOfHumanOrigin: A fact that makes vampires looked down by pure-blood demons for being half-breeds created from inferior mortals.
* EatingOptional: Vampires only need blood to survive, but several enjoy eating human foods; Spike in particular enjoys such things as drinking alcohol, and well as eating Weetabix (which he mixed into blood for texture), chocolate, spices and burba weed (which he mixed into blood for flavor), Buffalo wings, crackers and peanut butter, and fried onion blossoms. Angel also drinks coffee quite a bit. This is a case of DependingOnTheWriter though, as some episodes state that vampires' undead taste buds can't taste anything but blood.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Interestingly enough, despite their apparent AlwaysChaoticEvil nature, several vampires throughout the verse have shown care for members of their own kind with some of the notable examples being Spike, Drusilla, TheMaster, etc.
* EvilFeelsGood: Many vampires feel as such. For example, the newly turned Holden Webster is quite at peace with his condition when Buffy talks to him:
-->'''Holden''': Feels great. Strong. Like I'm connected to a powerful all-consuming evil that's gonna suck the world into a fiery oblivion.
* EvilMakesYouMonstrous: As a vampire ages and the demon within grows stronger, they lose their ability to appear human and are permanently stuck in GameFace; the Master, the oldest vampire on record, LooksLikeOrlok, while Kakistos, an equally aged vampire, has cloven hooves for hands and feet.
* GameFace: Vampires have a human face and a demonic face. The demonic face has vaguely bat-like bumps along their foreheads, yellow eyes, and of course, fangs. Angel mentions at one point that vampires are stronger when in their GameFace, but their bloodlust also increases. Older vampires, such as The Master and Kakistos, seem to be [[ShapeshifterModeLock Shapeshifter Mode Locked]] into their game faces.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Vampires are described as half-human, being demons who inhabit and reanimate human corpses.
* HealingFactor: It's shown more in the comics, but they apparently heal much faster than humans.
* HeartInTheWrongPlace: The location of a vampire's heart seems to be connected to whether they have PlotArmor or not. Angel and Spike have taken arrows or stakes to the chest that conveniently miss their hearts, while minor vampires aren't so lucky and get dusted if hit anywhere on the torso including, in one particularly egregous case, in the ''stomach''.
* HolyBurnsEvil: Vampires are burned by crosses, holy water, Bibles and other Christian holy objects, which also fill them with irrational fear.
* HorrorHunger: While vampires can't starve to death, they ''need'' blood to stay healthy, and going too long without feeding is debilitating. After being chipped, Spike, unable to feed, starts getting sick and is desperate enough for blood that he turns to the Scooby Gang for help, and when Connor traps Angel at the bottom of the ocean, Angel ends up [[SanitySlippage going mad with hunger]] and is suffering from nightmares and {{hallucinations}} by the time Wesley finally fishes him out. In the present day, Angel's mostly overcome the issue of WarmBloodbagsAreEverywhere by drinking animal blood, but flashbacks to his early attempts at living around people show it wasn't always so easy for him to resist humans, and if he's severely weakened or starved, he's liable to grab and start drinking from someone before he even realizes what he's doing.
-->'''Spike:''' You know what happens to vampires who don't get to feed? Living skeletons, mate. Like famine pictures from those dusty countries, only not half as funny.
* ImmortalProcreationClause: Being undead and immortal, vampires are incapable of sexual reproduction. However, Angel and Darla were able to conceive Connor, but even then, Darla couldn't bring him to term the normal way and was forced to [[HeroicSacrifice stake herself]] to ensure his birth.
* ImmortalsFearDeath: Adam speculates as such to a group of vampires. He theorizes that contrary to mortal humans, vampires fear death and things that can kill them, like the Slayer, precisely ''because'' they are immortal.
-->'''Adam''': You fear death. Being immortal, you fear it more than those to whom it comes naturally.
* ImmuneToBullets: While they ''do'' cause a lot of pain, conventional bullets can't kill vampires; Angel and Spike have used themselves as {{Human Shield}}s to protect others from gunfire more than once. That being said, the [[BoomHeadshot classic headshot]] [[DecapitationRequired will work]].
* KillItWithFire: Another way of destroying them. and they've ''very'' flammable; Spike once incinerated a vampire by ''touching a lighter to it's shirt.''
* KissOfTheVampire: The series flip-flops between this and VampireBitesSuck. When bitten by Angel in "Graduation Day, Part 2," Buffy experiences such a euphoric rush that she [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything shudders and her leg kicks out violently, sending a bench and urn crashing to the floor]]. In the comics, Angel admits that vampire bites stimulate the brain's pleasure centers, and uses this fact to his advantage to calm down a rampaging [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Dark Willow]].
* LackOfEmpathy: Due to their lack of human souls, vampires have no conscience and are thus incapable of feeling remorse. Again, pre-soul Spike indicates that this is not invariably true - though it is also generally acknowledged that Spike is the exception rather than the norm due to his LoveMartyr nature. However, it's a pretty good rule of thumb.
* MissingReflection: Standard fair for vampires; they have no reflection in mirrors. However, they ''can'' be filmed and photographed, as cameras function similarly to human eyes.
* MonsterFromBeyondTheVeil: The demon that takes up in the human body has all their host's memories and is usually a twisted variation on their personality.
* {{Mooks}}: A lot of vampires work as minions for demons or even some especially powerful humans.
* MoreThanMindControl: Upon being turned, a vampire's personality often draws upon their former self's darker impulses and things they wouldn't normally say or do. When confronted over being Spike's SenseiForScoundrels in "Destiny," Angel retorts he didn't make Spike a monster; he just opened the door and let the "real him" out. Also, upon being sired, Spike's mother's taunts about his [[MommasBoy attachment to her]] were in fact something she feared as a human, but wasn't cruel enough to actually say to him beforehand.
* MustBeInvited: Vampires need to be expressly invited into a human's residence to be able to enter; the residences of non-humans and public places like stores and nightclubs are not protected as such.
* TheNeedless: As they're undead, vampires don't actually need to breathe. Angel survived being sealed in a coffin and trapped at the bottom of the ocean for the three month TimeSkip between Seasons 3 and 4 as a result, and later was able to go to a [[DeathWorld demon dimension]] with an atmosphere toxic to humans to no ill effect.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: When a vampire dies, their bodies turn to dust.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: In the Buffyverse, vampires are the result of a demon's essence replacing a human's soul, which builds a demon "half-breed" from the host's body, memories and personality--though it often twists the latter into it's darkest extreme, and pretty much completely destroys their ability to empathize regardless of how kind they were in life.
* PsychicBlockDefense: A vampire's mind is like [[MissingReflection their reflection in a mirror]]; the thoughts are there, but cannot be read.
* ReducedToDust: Their fate upon death. Unlike the traditional slow crumbling into a pile or dust however, they just instantly explode into a cloud of it.
* ShapeshifterModeLock: When a vampire gets old enough, they lose the ability to assume their human face.
* TheSociopath: As a whole, vampires are this due to their [[TheSoulless lack of a soul]]. They have a complete LackOfEmpathy, are AlwaysChaoticEvil, and are specifically described as lacking a conscience and being incapable of remorse.
* TheSoulless: Explicitly so.
* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: A vampire's strength varies depending on how much of a threat the plot needs them to be, ranging from being able to deform solid steel with their bare hands to being unable to budge wooden doors. Furthermore, they jump from being superhuman on a level no normal human could hope to match to being weak enough that {{Badass Normal}}s like Xander and Gunn can take them easily. However, it is also worth noting that as StrongerWithAge demonstrates, vampires get more powerful as they get older and, though it isn't strict canon, vampires tend to be stronger if their sire was powerful to begin with. Additionally, fledglings tend to be stupid, as well as relatively weak, making them easier to beat.
* StrongerWithAge: The older a vamp is, the stronger he gets; in Spike's debut episode, Giles initially dismissed him as a major threat when he discovered that Spike was "barely 200," but changed his mind upon discovering that Spike had [[HeroKiller killed two past Slayers]].
* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: Vampires can easily pass for human, and there's virtually no way to tell them apart from humans until they assume their GameFace. This diminishes as a vamp gets older, where their ability to assume human form is lost.
* VampiresHateGarlic: Implied; we see cloves of garlic used in preparation against vampires, but the actual effects are never shown.
* VillainDecay: Vampires were ''the'' main threat to Buffy and the Scooby Gang throughout the first two seasons, with the Master and Angelus being the {{Big Bad}}s of their respective seasons. Come ''Buffy'' Season 3 and onwards, they're reduced to largely serving as {{mooks}} for demons and even some humans, with [[StrongerWithAge aged]] vampires like Kakistos being reduced to [[MonsterOfTheWeek monsters of the week]].
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: From Season 8 onward, with [[TheUnmasquedWorld the supernatural going public]], vampires become a subject of a fad that capitalized on the fact that [[KissOfTheVampire many humans experienced a thrill when bitten by vampires]]; it's to the extent that in early Season 9, [[HeroWithBadPublicity Buffy]] gets arrested by the San Francisco Police Department for dusting one. As Seasons 9 and 10 go on, public opinion against vampires begins to shift, eventually leading to the cops starting a supernatural crimes unit.
* WeakenedByTheLight: Played with. Direct sunlight will almost instantly immolate vampires, but they are portrayed as perfectly fine operating during the day as long as they remain in the shade. They can even move around in sunlight while covering themselves up with a jacket or hoodie - though if that cover gets pulled off, they'll fry immediately.
** This is another instance of PlotArmor; Angel or Spike will sizzle for several seconds before catching fire, and even then there's still time to put themselves out. Vampire mooks on the other hand pretty much explode the minute sunlight touches them.

!!The Order of Aurelius

[[folder:In General]]
The Order of Aurelius is a vampire cult and bloodline that considers itself the elite of vampires.
----
* ContinuityDrift: In "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E5NeverKillABoyOnTheFirstDate}} Never Kill a Boy on the First Date]]" it is implied the Order of Aurelius are a separate group from the Master's own clan that have come to Sunnydale to sire the Anointed One. Years later a flashback in "[[{{Recap/AngelS02E07Darla}} Darla]]", the Master calls his group "the Order of Aurelius".
* {{Cult}}: They're basically the cult of the Old Ones.
* ElaborateUndergroundBase: They make their dwellings below ground because they reject living "among the human pestilence."
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: Their ultimate goal is to bring forth the apocalypse.
* ReligionOfEvil: A cult of vampires that worships the original demons, the Old Ones, and plans to bring them back into this world.
* TheRemnant: After the Master's death and their failed attempt to resurrect him, only the Anointed One and a few others are left by the time of "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E3SchoolHard School Hard]]", and they decide that whoever kills Buffy will take the Master's place. When their plot is ruined due to Spike's LeeroyJenkins tendencies, he decides to simply kill the Anointed One and takes control of what's left of the order, dissolving it completely.
-->'''Spike''': From now on, we're gonna have a little less ''ritual'' and a little more ''fun'' around here!
* YouHaveFailedMe: They enforce harsh penances on those who fail or displease the Master: Colin (not the Anointed One but another vamp with the same name) had an eye gouged out for letting the Slayer escape their lair. Claw once lost a hand for displeasing the Master. The Three willingly lay down their lives at the Master's will when they failed to kill Buffy, and Spike was expected to accept execution for ruining the Night of St. Vigeous.

[[folder:The Anointed One]]
!!Collin, The Anointed One
!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/AndrewJFerchland

A vampire member of the Order of Aurelius and a key servant of the Master. Even though he was a child, it was foretold he would lead Buffy Summers to hell.
----
* AntiClimax: There was a great deal of build-up over the enigmatic Anointed One, his mysterious powers and his role in Buffy's battle with the Master. In the end, it basically boiled down to Collin escorting her to him. He's subsequently killed off early on in Season 2 -- though, in fairness, he was intended to be the BigBad, Ferchland just had the temerity to grow.
* BastardUnderstudy: To the Master, who acts as a mentor of sorts.
* BigBadWannabe: After the Master's death, he assumed leadership of the Order of Aurelius but didn't hold onto it for long. Aside from a failed attempt to resurrect the Master (which was spearheaded more by Absalom than Collin) he did very little before being dispatched by Spike.
* BigNo: His last words.
* CreepyChild: Due to being a vampire child.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: In Season 2, when he appears to be the new BigBad... before Spike turns up.
* DragonAscendant: He took over the Order of Aurelius following the Master's death. Until [[TheStarscream Spike]] kills him, of course.
* EmbarrassingNickname: "The Annoying One," courtesy of Spike.
* EnfanteTerrible: He was turned into a vampire while still a child himself.
* GameFace: One of the few recurring vampires to never show his, leaving it ambiguous as to whether or not it would've been NightmareRetardant or just silly.
* InformedAbility: He apparently possesses immense power, which we never really see demonstrated.
* KillItWithFire: How Spike disposes of him.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: He was originally meant to be Season 2's BigBad, but Creator/JossWhedon had him killed off early in the season because his actor had gone through a growth spurt and was no longer believable as a perpetual child.
* TheRemnant: What's left of the Order of Aurelius. Spike dissolves the ancient order when he takes over.
* ScreamDiscretionShot: His death, which isn't seen but heard.
* UndeadChild: He is one.
* TheUnfought: Buffy never meets him in combat. The closest he gets to a fight is with Spike, who just lifts him into a cage and hoists him into direct sunlight.
* YouHaveFailedMe: He attempted this on Spike. Things went poorly.

----
* BadassBaritone: Due to being played by Creator/BrianThompson.
* DeadpanSnarker: Frequently, with emphasis on the deadpan.
* TheDragon: To the Master, initially.
* TheDreaded: His fellow Order members such as Darla were very scared of him and the Master respected his strength, claiming only a slayer could survive a fight with him.
* DrunkOnTheDarkSide: After he becomes the Master's vessel and starts feeding, he becomes a great deal more hammy.
* EvilIsHammy: Once the Harvest begins, he starts to get more vocal with the speeches.
* TheFundamentalist: A fervent believer in the Master's cause.
* LargeAndInCharge: Luke towers over most characters, even the Master. It isn't hard to buy him as the outside leader of the Order.
* MarkOfTheBeast: The Master places a unique scar on his forehead that marks him as the Master's vessel.
* NotSoStoic: Luke doesn't show much in the way of emotion, but when the Harvest begins he shifts into EvilIsHammy mode.
* StarterVillain: He's the first genuinely threatening vampiric nemesis that Buffy faces, serving as a mini-boss for the opening two episodes.
* YouMayPanicNow: As the Harvest begins in the Bronze.

----
* BeardOfEvil: One of them sports one.
* EliteMooks: For the Master; they're considered his deadliest weapons. As Giles puts it, Buffy is really starting to irritate the Master. "He wouldn't send the Three for just anyone."
* EqualOpportunityEvil: One of them is a black guy.
* HeroKiller: They almost take Buffy out when they first appear; it's only thanks to Angel's BigDamnHeroes moment that she escapes.
* HonorBeforeReason: When they fail, they allow themselves to be killed in penance.
* MustBeInvited: Buffy survives their fight due to making it back to her house and refusing to invite them inside.
* ProfessionalKiller: The Master's personal assassins.

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/38b599d223f74a4ab9fdf8b69f08ac10.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:250:''"Part of me always knew life would end after high school."'']]
!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/MercedesMcNab

->'''Buffy:''' Harmony, when you tried to be head cheerleader, you were bad. When you tried to chair the Homecoming Committee, you were ''really'' bad. But when you try to be bad... you suck.

A member of Cordelia's high-school posse, Harmony is turned into a vampire after graduation. Upon moving to LA, she seeks out Cordelia once more, but her vampire instincts means it's not long before she tries to kill Cordelia and the rest of the Angel Investigations crew. At some point after this, she gets a job at Wolfram & Hart, and when Angel takes over the firm, she's picked as his secretary. She's still evil, but thankfully, she's very bad at it.
----
* AffablyEvil: Even though she's a blood sucking fiend with a penchant for betrayal, she's really nice, even to her prey.
* AllGirlsLikePonies: She had an affinity with unicorns. While living with Spike in his underground liar, she hung up posters of unicorns along with many other unicorn paraphernalia. When she led her own gang, one of her minions, former boyfriend Brad Konig, took the liberty of bringing her a 10-inch ceramic unicorn figure imported from Thailand priced at $12.95. She also possessed a wooden carousel unicorn which Buffy used to kill another minion of Harmony's. While working at Wolfram & Hart, Harmony decorated her desk with unicorns as well as having unicorn stickers on her blood thermos. To please her, Clem made these creatures real, a joyful surprise to her. After this, she rode an unicorn for her arrival at VampCon. Her throne room in the 23rd century was also decorated with unicorn and Pomeranian motifs.
* AlphaBitch: Attempted to takeover Cordelia's position as this. It didn't really work out.
* AntiVillain: She's a bit like Spike (post-chip, pre-soul) in this regard. She really does try her best to do right (especially when under Angel's employ), but her lack of a soul makes moral decision-making very hard for her. That said, Buffy is willing to make alliances with Harmony when the need comes around, especially given that Harmony created Reform Vampirism and is at least trying to get other vampires avoid killing humans. Granted, season 10 makes it clear that it's more a form of PR than actual care over loss of human life.
* AscendedExtra: Given a much larger role in Season 5 of ''Angel'' and is eventually promoted to the main credits in the final quarter of the season. Also, Mercedes [=McNab=] as Harmony had the longest run of any actor in the ''Buffy''/''Angel'' series, having appeared in both the original, unaired pilot episode for ''[[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy]]'' (which didn't include Angel), and the final ''Angel'' episode.
* BigBadWannabe: In "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E2RealMe Real Me]]", she gathers a small band of Mooks and tries to establish herself as a player in Sunnydale. The minions quickly get annoyed with her, and she's reduced back to being Spike's not-really-girlfriend.
-->'''Buffy''': Harmony, when you tried to be head cheerleader, you were bad. When you tried to chair the homecoming committee, you were ''really'' bad. But when you try to be ''bad''? YOU SUCK.
* BrainlessBeauty: Harmony's pretty but ''painfully'' airheaded.
* BullyingADragon: Joined Cordelia in picking on and insulting Buffy despite both girls knowing that she burned her last high school's gym down.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Vapid, shallow and utterly hopeless as a vampire and a villain. But the final season of ''Angel'' shows that she's surprisingly competent as a secretary.
* ButtMonkey: She just can't do anything right, and absolutely ''everyone'' lets her know about it.
* CelebCrush: "No threesomes! Unless it's [[AThreesomeIsHot boy, boy, girl]]. Or Creator/CharlizeTheron."
** Asked if she could turn Creator/AntonioBanderas into a vampire. Spike vetoed the idea.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: She was an obnoxious but not particularly stupid SmugSnake in her earlier appearances before turning into the airheaded HarmlessVillain she is known for. Being turned into a blood sucking demon just might have something to do with that: Other vampires lose their soul. Harmony lost her brain.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: She's pretty terrible at it, though, and most everyone sees it coming. Angel lampshades it in the final episode.
-->'''Angel''': Loyalty isn't high on your list.
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: In season five of ''Angel'', she fills Cordelia's role as Angel's secretary. Whereas Cordy was sassy, independent and capable, Harmony was bubbly, upbeat and dim.
* CuteButCacophonic: Let's just say she really doesn't live up to her name, even if she's usually as cute as can be... However, when she belts songs out, it's downright painful to listen to even if you're baseline human. If you're Lorne, her voice is practically a weapon.
* DumbassNoMore: She's ''so'' much cleverer in the comics than her TV-self that she might as well be an entirely new character with a few shared traits. While exposing vampires to the world was an accident, the comics continued to show her having the savvy to turn public opinion very pro-vampire and effectively become a leader of the undead community. By Season 10, she is able to expertly analyse Spike and Buffy and wittily comment on the potential cracks in their relationship. Her dramatic increase in IQ is never explained or even really commented on.
* DumbBlonde: Cranked UpToEleven when she appeared on ''Angel''. In ''Buffy'', she was merely an AlphaBitch and an IneffectualSympatheticVillain.
-->'''Spike''': Keep it simple, Harm. It suits you.
* EvilCounterpart: To Cordelia - an intensely stupid bimbo who also moved to the big city and ended up working in an office.
* FauxAffablyEvil: In the comics she greets Spike and Buffy as old friends before proceeding to work with Vicki to break them up, giving Spike one hell of a ReasonYouSuckSpeech about his tendencies in relationships under a guise of friendliness.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: "I ''am'' a villain, Spike." (''starts to cough uncontrollably'')
* HarmlessVillain: She is much too brainless to present a threat. Buffy ''laughed'' at the idea of her having minions, and sure enough they quickly turn on her. Buffy sums her up best in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E2RealMe Real Me]]".
-->'''Buffy''': Harmony, when you tried to be head cheerleader, you were bad. When you tried to chair the homecoming committee, you were really bad. But when you try to ''be'' bad? You ''suck''.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: She seemed to have gotten nicer during the days leading up to high school graduation. Then, she got turned into a vamp.
** Seemed to be getting better in LA, particularly after getting hired on to Wolfram & Hart and Spike returned. Then, she betrayed Angel. Also the above NotSoHarmlessVillain moment.
* HeelFaceMole: She joins, betrays and rejoins Angel's team, against his strong oppositions. And then she betrays him again. All those resisted urges to stake her, to no good end!
-->'''Gunn:''' (''irritated'') Don't we kill 'em anymore?
* HollywoodToneDeaf: Murdering "[[Music/BarbraStreisand The Way We Were]]" onstage at Caritas.
* IFightForTheStrongestSide: Inverted more than once. Harmony is in Angel's employ for less than a day before defecting to a vampire cult that she was ''supposed'' to be investigating. Three years later, she's back working for Angel again--but only after he's become Wolfram & Hart's CEO. [[spoiler:Harmony betrays Angel]] at the earliest opportunity (again) by bedding [[spoiler:Hamilton]], who is incidentally higher on the totem pole than Angel is.
* IgnoredEpiphany: Fondly remembers high school, and desperately wishes to be accepted by friends that way again. Unfortunately, Harmony self-sabotages every friendship she has due to being StupidEvil.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: She really does try her best to be Spike's perfect girlfriend or Angel's efficient secretary, but neither appreciates her efforts - though Angel ''does'' take the trouble to write a letter of recommendation for her, on the grounds that she really was a good secretary.
* KarmaHoudini: She's never dusted despite the trouble she causes, especially in Season 8. She outs the existence of vampires, becoming a worldwide celebrity and making vampires seem like good guys while the Slayer Organization was made out to be a Nazi-like group attempting to destroy the misunderstood demonkind. But because of Harmony's status, Buffy orders her army not to try and kill her, out of fear of making her a martyr, which essentially gives her a free pass to do whatever she wants.
* LaughablyEvil: Harmony's ill-conceived attempts at being a dangerous villain are laughably poor and very endearing. Until she TookALevelInBadass in the comics.
* LovableTraitor: She's so lovable Angel writes her a recommendation even though he knew she was betraying him to Hamilton.
* MandatoryLine: Usually by highlighting her total stupidity.
* MeaningfulName: Subverted the second she starts singing; Lorne actually takes to calling her "my little cacophony" for a while, considering it more appropriate. Though Wesley does note her nickname "Harm" to be pretty fitting.
* MistakenForGay: She was actually trying to explain that she had become a vampire. Cordelia got confused.
* NeverMyFault: In "Harm's Way", she almost manages to convince herself that Fred is at fault for Harmony sleeping with and accidentally murdering a man (Fred had convinced her to talk to the man in question, and Harmony [[FrameUp didn't actually kill him]]), and in the finale, blames Angel's lack of faith in her for her betraying him to Marcus Hamilton. She also briefly [[InsaneTrollLogic blames her lack of a soul]] on this as well.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: In the comics, when she becomes a celebrity, she's a vampiric parody to reality show stars famous for their leaked sex tapes, namely Creator/ParisHilton and Creator/KimKardashian.
* NotHelpingYourCase: Harmony fails a blood screening in "Harm's Way" and dumps half the company in a maintenance closet as she tries to clear her name.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: During Season 8 where she exposes vampires to the world, becomes an instant celebrity, manages to convince the general populace that Slayers are Neo-Nazis to her kind and ''kills'' a Slayer on live TV. All this from the same supposedly brainless vampire that both Buffy and Angel refused to kill multiple times.
** By Season 10, she's established a power base in Vegas and is treated as a leading member of the traditional sect of vampires and masterminds a plan with Vicki to try and break up Spike and Buffy that plants some serious self-doubt in Spike's head. The alleged airhead gave the former Big Bad a BreakingSpeech and ''it worked.''
** Even during her early appearances, she had her moments. In "Real Me," in the midst of taunting her, Dawn mistakenly invites her into her house, and we are reminded that while Harmony may be incompetent, she is still a vampire. While Buffy initially laughs her head off at the thought of Harmony having minions, the minute she finds out Dawn invited her in, she stops laughing and starts stock-piling stakes.
--->'''Riley''': That's a lot of weapons for somebody you weren't sweating twenty minutes ago.\\
'''Buffy''': Well, that was before Dawn gave Harmony a backstage pass to kill us all in our sleep.
%%%%* PerkyFemaleMinion: To Angel
* PinkMeansFeminine: Usually wears pink after turning into a vampire
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: Though she rarely ventured outside of {{Garfunkel}} territory. This was indeed intentional, as well as lampshaded.
* PunnyName: '''Harm'''ony. Wesley [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it when [[BerserkButton she uses a page ripped out of one of his antique books to wrap up her bubble gum]].
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives Spike a pretty good one in season 10, noting how he's so obviously put Buffy on a pedestal and everything else about how he tends to fuck up his own relationships.
* ReplacementFlatCharacter: WordOfGod states that Harmony is intended as "Cordelia ''without'' the life lessons", though Harmony wasn't technically a replacement for Cordelia until season 5 of ''Series/{{Angel}}''.
* ScarpiaUltimatum: Spike gives her one in Season 4, but she's only ''too'' happy to comply.
* SexySecretary: When Angel becomes CEO of Wolfram & Hart, he naturally has to have this trope, so ditzy blonde vampire Harmony is recruited. Angel is not happy about this, though "Harm's Way" reveals that she is actually good at her job, if constantly underappreciated.
* ShakingTheRump: We get a [[MaleGaze good look]] in the ''Series/{{Angel}}'' episode "[[Recap/AngelS05E09Way Harm's Way]]". Lampshaded when she breaks up with Spike in BTVS "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E14Crush Crush]]" -- she decides to back away so he won't get anything pleasant from the experience.
* SmallNameBigEgo: She believed herself to be a great villain and constantly irritated when the Scoobies did not take her seriously, especially when both Buffy and Xander are greatly amused by the very thought of her having minions.
* StaircaseTumble: How Marcie tried to kill her in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E11OutOfMindOutOfSight Out of Mind, Out of Sight]]".
* StupidEvil: Tries to convince people she's not evil, even as she's betraying them to their faces. Downplayed in the comics, while she's a ditz she's perfectly capable of using her social skills and charm to whip up a plan.
* SuperLoser: Super-powered vampire whose skull probably contains nothing but dust bunnies.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Creator/JossWhedon admits that after Cordelia went insane, fell into a coma, and was absent in ''Angel'''s final season, the writers felt that the show had lost an important puzzle piece. Enter Harmony. Dim-witted, blonde, and completely peculiar vampire who seems to carry the personality of Cordelia circa Season 1 of ''Buffy''. They even went as far as adding her as a main character in the opening credits for the final six episodes. Though since Harmony had been there since the beginning (and being one of the Cordettes) her character was already known and accepted. In fact, Harmony was supposed to be a recurring character once she arrived on ''Angel''...but they forgot about her until the final season. Then, they ended up having her in every episode, so it was somewhat necessary to make her part of the main cast
* TookALevelInBadass:
** In "Harm's Way," in which she stops a war between two demon races and finds and stakes the vampire who set her up for murder.
** In the comics. She exposes TheMasquerade to the world, gets Slayers blacklisted as xenophobes in doing so, and by the time of Season 10 is a major representative, if not leader, of old-school vampires with a base in Vegas.
* TookALevelInKindness: Possibly the only person to have her personality ''improved'' by becoming an undead creature of the night.
* TragicVillain: Harmony spent most of high school as the ''Alpha Bitch'' but she was actually getting nicer in the days leading to graduation. But on that day she was made a vampire and the nice person she really was vanished forever. However, she's still nicer than most vampires, see AffablyEvil above.
* UnholyMatrimony: Tried to have one with Spike in Seasons 4 and 5 but he never cared about her in the former season, and was too hung up over Buffy in the latter.
* UnknownRival: Started thinking she was this to Buffy in Season 5, but the Slayer had completely forgotten about Harmony after their previous encounter.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: She killed a Slayer live on television, and ''still'' got to go on Anderson Cooper and Larry King to talk about how evil Slayers were. Cooper, to be fair, wasn't overly convinced.
* WomanScorned: In "Pangs" (scares Spike off with a stake) and "Crush" (actually tries to kill him).
* YouGetMeCoffee: Or in this case, blood served in a mug which says "#1 Boss."

* AwesomeMcCoolName: Presumably not his original moniker, though.
* BadBoss: He loudly scolds one of his factory workers for sampling their product, and kills him. The worker in question didn't do anything wrong; he was just used as an example to ensure nobody else would take a sample.
* BadassInANiceSuit: He's one of the best dressed villains in the show
* TheDragon: Initially to Kakistos, but Trick abandons him to die. He goes solo briefly, but is quickly recruited by the Mayor as his main henchman.

* PragmaticVillainy: Trick's entire thing is being practical-minded. He makes use of modern technology, doesn't get tangled up in pointless vendettas and makes sensible decisions, such as when he paid Ethan Rayne and sent him on his way rather than burn any bridges, pointing out to the Mayor, "Man did his job."

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Lyle and Tector did love each other, and Lyle did love Candy. Not quite enough for him to avenge either of them, though.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Lyle is rather polite in a SouthernGentlemen kind of way, even though his tone is mocking and he's clearly a psychopath.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Lyle wisely decides to skip town when his brother is eaten by the Mother Bezoar, and does so again (this time for good) after Candy is killed.

!!!'''Appears In''': "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E1WelcomeToTheHellmouth Welcome to the Hellmouth]]"[=/=]"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E2TheHarvest The Harvest]]"

Introduced in the very first episode as Xander and Willow's [[ThreeAmigos closest friend]], he ends up getting killed, turned into a vampire, and then accidentally staked by Xander in very short order. His old friends proceed to honor his memory by -- [[ForgottenFallenFriend forgetting he ever existed]], apparently, as he's never mentioned even once throughout the rest of the show.
----
* DecoyDamsel: Kidnapped by Darla at the end of the first episode, we see him taken to the Master who finds out he's associated with the slayer (largely through Xander and Willow) and it seems that they spared him to use as bait for Buffy. And indeed Buffy and Xander find him seemingly unharmed when they head into the sewers to rescue him. However when they hit a dead end trying to find a way out, Jesse showcases his vamp face revealing that the vampires indeed killed and turned him.
* DecoyProtagonist: It initially looks like he might be part of Buffy's gang rather than just a SacrificialLamb.
* DistressedDude: After being captured by Darla; after he's turned, he becomes a DecoyDamsel.
* FaceRevealingTurn: After he tricks Buffy and Xander into a dead end, he reveals himself as a vampire in this way.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: As a vampire, he keeps his hair slicked back.
* ForgottenFallenFriend:
** After his staking. Despite being Willow and Xander's best friend, he's ''never'' mentioned in the series again. The episode [[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E7ConversationsWithDeadPeople Conversations With Dead People]] was going to [[LampshadeHanging hang a lampshade]] on this with Jessie's ghost (or rather, the First Evil ''pretending'' to be Jessie's ghost) chewing out Xander for forgetting him, but those plans eventually fell through.
** ''Finally'' subverted in the comic-only Season 9, when Xander helps Detective Dowling stake his vampirized partner; he recalls having to do the same to Jesse, and to this very day, all he can see is the face of his friend, not the monster he became.
* LoveMartyr: He's very into Cordelia, regardless of how badly she treats him.
* StakingTheLovedOne: He's the loved stakee, Xander is the staker.
* ThatManIsDead: As is per standard for a vampire, Jesse is in actuality dead. The vampire he's become is a twisted version of his actual personality with all his darkest impulses magnified.
* TranshumanTreachery: Standard for vampires.
* VampiresAreSexGods: He wasn't remotely successful at attracting Cordelia as a human; as a vampire, his assertive and aggressive new attitude catches her eye.
* YouAreTooLate: After he's taken by vampires, the Scoobies do manage to rescue him... but only after he's been turned.
* YouWouldntShootMe: When Xander confronts him with a stake, he gets up close and taunts him that he could never hurt his best friend. Then someone shoves Jesse as they're running away, pushing him right onto the stake.
* YouthIsWastedOnTheDumb: It didn't take much for Darla to trap him; he later doesn't even realize he's been bitten. He isn't much smarter as a vampire.

!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/RudolfMartin
!!!'''Appears in:''' "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E1BuffyVsDracula Buffy vs. Dracula]]"

{{Dracula}}. Does more need to be said?

Actually, for this version, it does. He is evil (kind of), politically incorrect and extremely powerful, having far more powers than a normal vampire. He is also best friends with Xander, and was taught how to ride a motorbike by him. Nobody really understands this relationship, and most are really confused by it - including Xander. He's also not exactly well-liked among his own kind, as it was he who gave Bram Stoker the inspiration for the book bearing his name, which first put vampires in the public eye (even though still fictional). As Spike puts it, they consider him a "sell out". Also his vampirism is different from the usual vamps of the series.
----
* TheAce: He's nigh unkillable, and everyone he's encountered gushes about him (except Spike).
* AffablyEvil: To Xander, at least.
* {{Animorphism}}: Can turn into a panther, wolf, bat, and swarm of bees.
* BerserkButton: Don't steal from him. Seriously. ''Don't''.
* BreakingAndBloodsucking: Of course he's going to do things the traditional way.
* BurnTheUndead: According to him in the comics, the ''only'' way to kill him for good is to [[DecapitationRequired behead him]] and then burn both his head ''and'' body separately.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Behind the dark romantic facade Dracula often acts either like a spoiled celebrity or an old man in a mid-life crisis and is regarded as a "poncy sod" by other vampires. This combined with his ignorant racism can cause others to dismiss or underestimate him. They forget Dracula has risen above most other vampires and demons by being one of the oldest living vampires, incredibly rich, cunning (when he puts his mind to it), sought out and obtained great magical power, while alive tortured and killed tens of thousands of people and as a vampire has destroyed numerous powerful foes over the centuries, sometimes decades after a feud has started. He's also borderline unkillable. All in all, Dracula is one of the most dangerous vampires to have ever walked the Earth.
* ClassicalMovieVampire: He's a traditionalist; no wonder Spike doesn't like him. Spike, however, is also quick to point out that it's the popularity of Creator/BramStoker's book that has made it possible for ordinary humans to detect (and kill) vampires.
-->'''Spike:''' I tell you one thing, that ''glory hound'''s done more harm to vampires than ''any'' Slayer. His story gets out, and suddenly everyone knows how to kill us! The mirror bit?
* CoolSword: In Season 8, he wields a double-bladed sword that is linked with a demonic spirit. In Season 10, he wields a rapier.
* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: Xander's entire relationship with Dracula could be summed up as this. Dracula just really enjoys Xander's company and goes through the effort of putting him under his thrall just so he sticks around and he has someone to talk to.
* DualAgeModes: Subverted. It seems he is able to take on the form of both a young and old man, but it turns out in reality he is always in his old form. He just uses his hypnotic abilities to make everyone see him as his younger self.
* EnemyMine: "I loathe Buffy Summers, her whole army makes me want to retch, and I'd just as soon see them wiped off the map once and for all. However, nobody steals from Dracula."
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He hates lawyers, as shown when Lilah Morgan tries to make him a client. He's also not willing [[spoiler: to be taken over by the Old One Maloker, originator of vampires, and wreak havoc]] to the point where he will allow himself to be killed first.
* FrozenFashionSense: He appears in his full caped regalia. Later he goes for a more casual, but still quite outdated, silk shirt and vest combo.
* GameFace: Averted. He has perpetual fangs but no NightmareFace. It's not explained why he's different than other vampires, but perhaps his "showy gypsy tricks" include a {{Glamour}}. This was later confirmed by the follow-up comics: not only does he have a {{Glamour}}, it conceals the fact that he looks like an old man (as he was in the book).
* LieToTheBeholder: He uses his hypnotic abilities to make people see him as his younger self, rather than his true form, which is that of a very old man. No longer necessary as of Season 10, in which he is restored to his younger self.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Wears elaborate costumes that include top hats, rings, canes and ankle-length capes.
* OccultBlueEyes: Those "dark, penetrating eyes" of his are a deep shade of blue.
* OddFriendship: With Xander.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: On the meta level. Every established rule about Buffyverse vampires goes out the window with this guy; he adheres much more closely to traditional (or Hollywood, at least) vampire tropes. This is explained as a result of certain magics he sought out. After magic is restored in the comics, new vampires have abilities similar to his, though not quite to the same extent.
* PetTheDog: He has genuine fondness for Xander and considers him to be one of his dearest friends, to the point that he is enraged on Xander's behalf after [[spoiler:Renee's death]] and tears vampire chumps to pieces like wet paper, before giving Xander the chance to execute the one responsible personally.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He is portrayed as simply politically incorrect, without malice behind it, his attitudes being mainly a result of extraordinary age.
* PublicDomainCharacter: Of course. The writers were originally going to use a CaptainErsatz, until Joss Whedon suggested to them that they may as well use the real deal as there was nothing stopping them.
-->'''Marti Noxon:''' I kept saying, "Like Dracula" -- until Creator/JossWhedon said, "Why ''not'' Dracula? He's public domain."
* ResurrectiveImmortality: One of the things that make Dracula especially dangerous is the fact that even ''after'' getting dusted (regardless of which method), he can simply reform from the dust practically on the spot. Moreover, ''if'' he doesn't reform, he can still manipulate the dust into a mist and move that way. Simply put, he's the "most immortal" vampire in Buffyverse--well, ''second'' most if you count those wearing the Gem of Amara.
** He claims in the comics he must be beheaded and have the head and body burnt separately to be killed. It's the ''only'' way, according to him.
* RetiredMonster: During what Buffy calls his mid-life crisis, he drinks himself into a stupor, stumbles around in a vomit-drenched bathrobe, and can't even be bothered to kill anyone to feed on anymore. He snaps out of it, though.
* RunningGag: The eleven pounds he owes Spike.
* StrongerWithAge: Part of his speech to Toru when the other vampires mock him by calling him "Old Man" is basically bitch-slapping him and stating that Europe ran red with the blood of his enemies ''long'' before he became a vampire, so, really, it's the "Old Man" that he should be afraid of.
* SuperSmoke: One of his powers is the ability to turn into mist, which Buffy decides is cheating when she tries to attack him.
* ThisIsNotMyLifeToTake: [[spoiler:Dracula cripples Toru, the leader of the vampire army who screams at Dracula to let him die with honor. Dracula tells the crippled vampire that he knows nothing of honor, and that he is not Dracula's to kill... after which he hands his sword to Xander, whose girlfriend, Renee, the vampire leader had murdered. Xander delivers the coup de grâce]].
* {{Tsundere}}: A friendship version towards Xander. He tries to lure Xander back into being his manservant by claiming he has regular orgies at his castle and has his other servant claim to want another one around.
* VampiresHarem: Had one in his debut episode but they were only seen briefly when Giles fell into their domain by accident and was pulled out by Connor. Oddly, there's no mention of them later in the episode and they're never seen again in the comics either.
* VampiresAreSexGods: According to Andrew, one of Dracula's abilities, next to hypnosis and shapeshifting, is "romantic undertones". There are a lot of comments on his good looks (especially his penetrating eyes), with even Willow, a lesbian, commenting on his sexiness.
* VillainousWidowsPeak: It's not particularly pointy or pronounced but it's there.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Can turn into a wolf, bat, panther, mist and swarm of bees at will which he uses to attack people, spy on them, dodge their attacks, or just impress them.
* WildCard: His position on the second Magic Council, as noted by Willow. Assuming the other three humans side with Buffy often (as assumed), that potentially makes him the deciding vote.

!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/CamdenToy

->''"As Neanderthals are to human beings, the Turok-Han are to vampires. They're primordial, ferociously powerful killing machine, as single-minded as animals. They are the vampires that vampires fear. An ancient and entirely different race. And until this morning, I thought they were a myth."''
-->-- '''Rupert Giles'''

An ancient and powerful breed of vampire.
----
* ConservationOfNinjutsu: The first Turok-Han seen wipes the floor with Buffy on their first and every subsequent meeting, until a grueling battle that ends in her decapitating it. Cut to the season finale, where the heroes have to face an entire army of them, and even the {{Badass Normal}}s can kill multiples of them like they're no different than normal vampires.
* EliteMooks: For the First Evil.
* FeralVampires: As Giles says in the quote above, they are basically predatory animals, unlike modern vampires, who walk and talk like humans.
* LooksLikeOrlok: Presumably to give them the typical 'ancient vampire' look, since they're meant to be the oldest examples of what vampires were.
* MonsterThreatExpiration: To an obscene degree. The first one Buffy encounters is extremely powerful, tosses her around with ease and even when she does manage to kill it, it's only after a long and bloody fight. In the finale, even Andrew is able to kill them.
* NoSell: A traditional stake through the heart has no effect.

->''"You ripped my jacket... Kill him a lot."''

One of Lothos's minions. Since he appears in the movie and origin comic, he isn't the most famous vampire in the bunch.
----
* AlmostDeadGuy: Amilyn [[LargeHam campily milks his death scene]] for almost a minute. He's still going during the credits.
* AnArmAndALeg: Pike takes one of his arms.
* CastingGag: Reubens had just had a [[CaughtWithYourPantsDown very public scandal]] when he was cast, and his mugshot was infamously miles away from his previous, clean-cut image. Amilyn's appearance is almost identical to the mugshot.
* DeathIsDramatic: Mocked thoroughly.
* TheDragon: To Lothos.
* DisproportionateRetribution: He tries to kill Oliver Pike for ruining his jacket. (Of course, Amilyn has also lost his arm, but he doesn't seem to care about that.)
* HandicappedBadass: He continues serving Lothos despite the loss of his arm.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Pike sliced off one of his arms, and his only major concern is his ruined jacket.

* EvilSoundsDeep
* TheFundamentalist: He starts out as some kind of far-right Christian extremist who blathers on and on about the end of days and repenting of one's sins. He continues this after being turned into a vampire but is visibly startled when Giles is able to repel him by brandishing a crucifix.
* KillItWithFire: How he's ultimately dealt with.
* MurderByCremation: He ends up dumped into a lit crematorium.
* RedHerring: Borba is set up as the prophesied Anointed One; a powerful vampire who will aid the Master. He would seem to fit the bill, what with being a ranting psychotic who's built like a tank.

A student of Sunnyvale High and a major delinquent.
----
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Ended up falling for Spike not long after meeting him. Unfortunately for her, he was just luring her so he could feed Drusilla.
%%* AssholeVictim
* BoundAndGagged: After Spike kidnaps her, he has her hands bound and her gagged when taken back to his hideout. Poor girl couldn't even scream when Drusilla kills her.
* {{Delinquent}}: A major one in life, having said to have attacked a teacher with pruning shears (and quite proud of it), blowing off the punishment to help with the Parent-Teacher Conference and hanging out with other bad company to boot. It's ultimately what ends up losing her humanity when she fell for a "bad boy" like Spike.
* EnemyRisingBehind: Attempted to attack Buffy with an ax after tricking her into thinking she was still human. Giles spotted this from a classroom and yelled out a warning, thwarting the attempt.
* FaceRevealingTurn: Sorta. After Buffy meets her during the school raid, she's of course in human form. But when they approach a vampire. The camera has Buffy in front of her and as she sneaks up on him, moves aside to which we now see Shelia in GameFace, readying her ax to kill Buffy.
* {{Foil}}: Essentially one to Buffy to showcase Principal Snyder's HorribleJudgeOfCharacter. While Buffy isn't exactly a saint, she's leagues above Shelia whom Snyder lumps together (And that's only because of hearing of Buffy past "delinquency" i.e. burning down her gym, and just singling her out for it).
* HellBentForLeather: She stumbles drunkenly out of the Bronze, flanked by two guys. She asks if they were telling the truth about a Cadillac, and coos about how "leather seats" make her horny. Whatever, Music/JoanJett.
* TheLoad: There are monkeys who could coordinate a party better than her. She looks like she's perpetually hungover. Not surprising she ends up as a vampire, really.
* TheMole: In the darkened school hallway, Buffy hears a noise behind her. It's Sheila. Phew, forgot about her. She apologizes for being late (the fact that the event is ''over'' should have raised a red flag though Buffy figures she came in right before Spike's attack). Of course the audience knows she's a vamp since last we saw her before this point was Dru making a meal of her. But Buffy is unawares.
* OhCrap: Her final human expression as she turns to Dru, who's in vamp face after addressing her dolls...then proceeds to feed on her.
* PropheticName[=/=]PunnyName: Shelia ''Martini''. Har har.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: She quickly withdraws once she sees one of Spike's men getting staked. Ironically, this likely could stem from the fact that her devil-may-care attitude got her killed before by blindly following Spike when she first met him. She just came back as an undead, so she's not wasting her newfound semi-immortal (if cursed) existence fighting somebody she can't win against.
* ShadowArchetype: She's exactly the sort of AxCrazy delinquent everyone thinks Buffy is.
-->'''Buffy:''' That's what mom sees when she looks at me. A Sheila.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She's last seen fleeing from Buffy after watching her stake a fellow vampire. Buffy doesn't go after her and she hasn't been seen since.

!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/JasonBehr
!!!'''Appears In:''' "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E7LieToMe}} Lie To Me]]"

Buffy's friend from her old school.
----
* AboveGoodAndEvil: Buffy calls him out on his double-crossing lies, but he merely shrugs, "Everybody lies."
* BackFromTheDead: In the epilogue, he rises from the grave, a vampire just like he desired. Buffy quickly dusts him.
* CardCarryingVillain: Buffy lays it all out for him, explaining that he's what they in the trade call "the bad guy." Ford giggles and reckons she's 100% correct. PlayedForDrama, as Buffy later realizes that she was just playing into his B-movie fantasies.
-->'''Buffy:''' It'd be simpler if I could just hate him. I think he wanted me to. I think it made it easier for him to be the villain of the piece. Really, he was just scared.
* ConsummateLiar: He's a smooth operator. Watch him pretending to cough after supposedly 'dusting' the vamp he was interrogating.
* CrowbarCombatant: His weapon of choice.
* CurseThatCures: He wants to be turned into a vampire because it would cure his cancer. Sadly, it would also "cure" him of a soul.
* DealWithTheDevil: If Spike had really wanted him to live forever, he could have taken the body with him.
* DrivenToVillainy: The injustice of his life ending so early was the impetus to his evil. Contrary to what he says, however, Buffy insists that he ''does'' have a choice (albeit not a good one), and that nothing he says will make mass murder okay.
** It's entirely possible that he developed psychopathy because of the specific part of his brain that was affected by the cancer. In fact, that [[FridgeBrilliance would explain why Buffy never noticed before that there was something seriously wrong with her friend, whom she'd known half her life.]]
* DudeWheresMyReward: Even after Buffy escapes, Ford demands his reward from Spike since he did technically trap Buffy for him. It was Spike who failed.
* DudeWheresMyReward: He sticks his chin out and declares he fulfilled his end of the bargain, and Spike sneers that that's true. This is one of the series' most ambiguous moments.
* EmergencyTransformation: He isn't evil so much as he is misguided, believing that it would be better to live as a vampire than to die riddled with tumors.
** He's still [[TheSociopath totally self-absorbed, callous about other peoples' feelings and wishes, feels no guilt at all about lying,]] and he's perfectly willing to sacrifice half a dozen other teenagers (and his old "best friend" Buffy) to get what he wants. That's pretty much the textbook definition of "evil" when not talking about the supernatural.
* ExactWords: He makes a deal with Spike to be turned into a vampire in exchange for giving Buffy over to him. When Buffy manages to escape and Ford finds out, he still demands that Spike follow his end of the bargain, since even if Buffy ''did'' get away, Ford still trapped her for him. Spike agrees and turns him... only for Buffy to dust him the minute he rises.
* GigglingVillain: He lapses into this from time to time, though he ends up [[DefinitelyJustACold hacking and coughing]] from the illness.
* ImmortalityImmorality: He's dying from brain tumors, and wishes to become a vampire to avoid such a fate. However, he's willing to sell out Buffy, his old friend, to Spike, and sacrifice several other people to him in exchange for being turned. While Buffy is sympathetic to his plight, she still states that his motivations and desperation to live do ''not'' excuse his actions.
* TheMovieBuff: He mapped out his entire story as if it were a movie, from the cheesy lines he makes Spike recite, or in his expectation that Buffy will completely understand and perhaps even accept his plan once she learns of his condition.
* NervesOfSteel: SecretlyDying has given Ford some balls. He doesn't show fear of Spike, which is either bravery or deep, deep stupidity.
* SawStarWarsTwentySevenTimes: He can lip-synch perfectly to Creator/JackPalance.
* SecretlyDying: Ford is dying from a 'nest' of tumors in his brain.
* SecretSecretKeeper: To Buffy's confusion, he already knew she was the Slayer.
* ShutUpKirk: He gives one to Buffy when she's calling him out over his actions:
-->'''Buffy''': Ford, these people don't deserve to die!\\
'''Ford''': Well, neither do I! But apparently no one took that into consideration, 'cause I'm still dying. I look good, don't I? Well, let me tell you something: I've got [[YourDaysAreNumbered maybe six months left]], and by then what they bury won't even ''look'' like me. It'll be bald and shriveled and it'll smell bad. No, I'm ''not'' going out that way. [''{{beat}}''] [[SarcasmMode I'm sorry, Summers. Did I screw up your righteous anger riff? Does the nest of tumors liquefying my brain kinda spoil the fun?]]
* SixthRangerTraitor: He falls into Buffy's circle of friends with the intention of betraying them.
* SympathyForTheDevil: Subverted. Buffy easily figures out that his SecretlyDying confession is, while factually genuine, another piece of pumped-up drama.
* TooDumbToLive: Want to cure your cancer? All you have to do is ask some nice vampires to turn you into a vampire in exchange for giving them the Slayer. Nothing wrong with this plan AT ALL. Somewhat justified in that he was dying anyway and had nothing to lose, but his plan was flawed and ultimately he ended up staked.
* VampireVannabe: Ford wants to be made into a vampire, but unlike his fellow wannabes he's more knowledgable about them.
* WouldHitAGirl: He attacks Buffy with a crow bar, knocking her down the stairs. He advances on her and hits her again, but is interrupted by Spike at the door.
* YouHaveFailedMe: It's insinuated he's going to be the victim of this from Spike, but it's revealed that he actually did get his wish.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: Aside from the whole soulless thing she never has a chance to do anything despicable as a vampire, besides somewhat insticintively getting into a fight with Buffy when she first wakes up.
* RedShirt: Theresa exists mostly to be a victim of Angelus, get turned and have to be staked.
* RiseFromYourGrave: She turns during her wake and rises out of her coffin not shortly after Buffy and Xander come to examine her body.
* ShootTheMessenger: Angelus turns up with the purpose of further taunting Buffy.
* ShrinkingViolet: From what we see of Theresa, she seems very anxious and uncertain of herself, though kind of sweet. It's a shame she runs into Angelus.
* StuffedIntoTheFridge: She's a previously unseen "friend of Buffy's" introduced just so Angelus can vamp her to mess with Buffy's head. She even wears a [[RedShirt red blouse!]]
* TookALevelInBadass: She was trying to, taking self-defense classes shortly before being sired.

An ancient Vampire master, possibly of Greek origin.
----
* BeardOfEvil: His goatee. (Geddit?)
* TheBrute: He comes more from the "Hulk Smash" school of approach.
* CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon: "I'm going to rip her spine from her body, and I'm going to eat her heart, and suck the marrow from her bones."
* TheDreaded: Faith is nine kinds of panicked when she sees Kakistos again, with Buffy even mentioning in ''VideoGame/BuffyTheVampireSlayerChaosBleeds'' that he was the one thing Faith was ever truly terrified of. Furthermore, his reputation is such that Giles immediately recognizes his name when Buffy, being Buffy, misidentifies him as "Kissing Toast."
* EvilMakesYouMonstrous: Like the Master before him, he has grown past the curse of human features. Unlike the Master, he has cloven hooves in place of hands and feet.
* {{Expy}}: Of the Master.
* EyeScream: Faith blinded him in the right eye.
* FateWorseThanDeath: One mention of Faith's Watcher stops her in her tracks. Buffy asks if Kakistos killed her. Faith just stares and says, "They don't have a word for what he did to her." According to the novel ''Go Ask Malice'', he literally [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe ripped Faith's Watcher in half]] while [[ForcedToWatch making her watch]].
* GoodOldWays: He's a traditionalist who does not approve of modern innovation such as the electric light, preferring to light his lair with candles instead. He has little interest in communications technology that would've allowed him to establish a power base with little effort and obtain prey through human trafficking. It was this short-sightedness that led Trick to abandon his Master to be dusted by the Slayers.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: In return for killing her Watcher, Faith left Kakistos something to remember her by.
* HopelessWithTech: He preferred lighting his lairs with candles rather than electric lights, and had little interest in modern comforts that would easily enable him to establish a power base. This is the main reason Mr. Trick pulled a ScrewThisImOuttaHere when Buffy and Faith attacked.
* LargeAndInCharge: Kakistos is a massive guy, as befitting someone of his legendary strength, and leads a number of vampires, including Trick.
* MonsterOfTheWeek: The villain in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E3FaithHopeAndTrick Faith, Hope & Trick]]".
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: According to Giles, Kakistos translates to "Worst of the Worst."
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Kakistos gets his hands on Faith, but instead of killing her, he just starts pummeling her.
* NoSell: A stake just won't kill Kakistos; it takes something much bigger.
* TheOlderImmortal: With the exception of the Master and the Ubervamps, he's probably the oldest vampire seen in the series.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: He chases Faith all the way to Sunnydale with the intent to kill her out of revenge for [[EyeScream his eye]].
* SinisterSilhouettes: Kakistos in his limousine. His hands are plenty ugly enough.
* StrongerWithAge: Kakistos is so old that the normal way to dispatch a vampire, a wooden stake to the heart, won't cut it with him. Faith actually has to impale him with a two-by-four to finish him off.

Zachary Kralik was a serial killer who had been turned into a vampire.
----
* AbusiveParents: His mother did something unpleasant to him with scissors. He killed and ate her in retaliation (and that was ''before'' becoming a vampire).
-->''"My own mother was a person with no self-respect of her own, so she tried to take mine. Ten years old, she had the scissors - you wouldn't believe what she did with those."''
* AxCrazy: Kralik was dangerously insane even before he was turned into an immortal killing machine that feeds on blood. His status as a vampire clearly hasn't improved his impulses or his sadism.
* {{Bathos}}: After spending the entirety of "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E12Helpless Helpless]]" serving as nothing less than an absolute nightmare of a threat, he lets out a light, comedic "Oh my" right before the holy water he drank starts tearing his insides apart.
* ChekhovsGun: His pills, which he has to take with water since he can't swallow them dry.
* CombatSadomasochist: When Buffy burns him with a cross, he just takes pleasure from it.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Kralik speaks in an intimidating, creepy baritone.
* {{Expy}}: A WickedCultured [[ImAHumanitarian cannibal]] SerialKiller in a [[InstitutionalApparel straitjacket]]. Hmm, [[Literature/TheSilenceOfTheLambs sounds familiar]].
* FreudianExcuse: His mother abused him when he was a child, so he killed her, ate her, and murdered at least a dozen young women before being institutionalized. ''Then'' [[FromBadToWorse he was made a vampire.]]
-->'''Kralik:''' ''[cheerfully]'' I have a problem with mothers. I'm aware of that!
* HolyBurnsEvil: How he meets his end; Buffy swaps the water he takes with his anti-psychotic pills with holy water, causing him to burn up from the inside.
* KnightOfCerebus: By the point Kralik turns up, Buffy has been dispatching vampires with minimal effort and they no longer seem that frightning. Kralik helps make a darkly-plotted episode even darker with his gruesome backstory, clear sadism and the fact that he's basically terrifying.
* LargeHam: Jeff Kober is greatly enjoying himself.
* LittleDeadRidingHood: He attacks Buffy as she's walking home in a red coat. Kralik, being Kralik, finds it amusing.
-->''"Why did you come to the dark of the woods? ''[opens Buffy's bag of weapons]'' To bring all these sweets to grandmother's house?"''
* MarsNeedsWomen: He seeks to turn Buffy into a vampire, so he won't be 'alone' anymore.
* MommyIssues: Due to his abusive mother, Kralik has a hang-up with motherhood in general. He's aware of it, however.
* PlayingPossum: He lures Joyce out of the house by wrapping himself in Buffy's red coat and ambushing Joyce when she runs out to check why 'Buffy' is lying unconscious on the verandah.
* SerialKiller: He was responsible for the deaths of a dozen young women before he was made into a vampire.
* TooKinkyToTorture: Buffy tries to ward him off with a cross. He presses it to his body and enjoys the pain, telling her to move it lower.

A vampire who had been a UC Sunnydale student. She was also the master of a vampire nest located within the campus.
----
* ActionFashionista: Weaponizes her fashionista tendencies by insulting Buffy's fashion sense, then punching her while she is distracted. She also steals clothes from her victims, throwing out anything she thinks is "not" and keeping anything she thinks is "hot".
* AlphaBitch: Not only is she the leader of her gang, but she's also a {{jerkass}} to both her minions and her victims.
* BloodKnight: She was excited at the prospect of fighting a Slayer, seeing it as a challenge.
* DarkActionGirl: She has fighting skills on par or even superior to Buffy's.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: When she is staked, she just rolls her eyes and puts her hands on her hips in annoyance as she turns to dust.
* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: Her nest's MO is to feed on new students, then make it look like the student dropped out and ran away due to the pressure.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: While beating up Buffy during their second fight, she broke Buffy's Class Protector Award, thinking it would break her spirit. Instead, it enraged her and gave her a second wind.

* AffablyEvil: He actually seems fairly genuine about liking Dawn. He can't help being a vampire and thus naturally disposed toward evil.

->''"Buffy, I'm here to kill you, not to judge you."''

A vampire and, formerly, a Sunnydale High student.
----
* AffablyEvil: For an undead creature of the night, Holden is a very affable and even goofy guy. He listens to Buffy, doesn't judge her, helps her through her issues and is exceedingly patient. He even puts her on the couch (a stone bier)! Buffy actually seems pretty sorry that she has to kill him.
* AmbiguouslyBi: Had a girlfriend, but was sired by Spike and may have been picked up by him like Spike's other victims.
* BadassInANiceSuit: He is a fairly competent vampire fighter, and dressed in a nice suit when he fights Buffy.
* CardCarryingVillain: Holden offhandedly and casually mentions that he's evil and he's pleased about it from time to time.
* TheConfidant: He briefly serves as one to Buffy, since she knows he won't be leaving the cemetery alive anyway. Plus, he is a genuinely friendly guy. Why not take advantage of some free therapy?
* DrunkOnTheDarkSide: A bit, as per usual for young vampires - which makes him underestimate Buffy. See EvilFeelsGood.
* EvilFeelsGood: As per usual for vampires, especially newborn vampires.
-->''"Feels great. Strong. Like I'm connected to a powerful all-consuming evil that's gonna suck the world into a fiery oblivion. How 'bout you?"''
* EvilFormerFriend: Although "friend" is pushing it, he was an acquaintance of Buffy when they were in school and happily greets her like an old friend at a reunion. Unfortunately, she doesn't quite remember him. Now he's a vampire, of course.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: A rare intentional example. While he does intend to kill Buffy (it's NothingPersonal - he's a vampire, she's a Slayer, it's what they do), he can't resist trying to analyse her and help her work through her issues. This ends up having a positive long term impact. He also tips Buffy off to the fact that Spike is (unwillingly) killing and siring people, derailing the First's plans for him.
* NothingPersonal: With Buffy. They have to fight, since they're vampire and slayer, but otherwise they get along quite well.
* RememberTheNewGuy: He wasn't actually seen during his Sunnydale Days.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: As a newborn vampire who's a little drunk on power, and a trained martial artist, he thinks that he can best Buffy fairly comfortably. That turns out not to be the case.
* WarriorTherapist: He seems more interested in analyzing Buffy than fighting her, although he's into that too.

[[folder:Hester]]
A vampire from ''Buffy The High School Years'' graphic novel, "Freaks and Geeks". A social outcast in life, she and her friends fell prey to vampires and were turned. Now hoping to find a chance to improve her status with the undead, she seeks to kill Buffy.
----
* BadBoss: The leads her small group into trying to attack Buffy which is suicidal enough for any common vampire. But the second attempt she tricks her friends into enacting a spell that would sacrifice them and summon a demon for her to control. Buffy calls her out on it, but Hester callously states "[Her]] friends were losers".
* BigBadWannabe: Wants desperately to be take seriously, but in both encounters with Buffy, the slayer is just amused by her attempts.
* EvilIsNotAToy: Learns this the hard way when trying to summon a demon and didn't bother to double check how the spell works.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Had used a spell to sacrifice her friends in the hopes of controlling a demon. But misread it and found out she needed ''four'' sacrifices rather than the three she tried to provide. Said demon promptly crushes her.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Gives Buffy a TheReasonYouSuck speech after overhearing she was a former Queen Bee before becoming a slayer. But the way she leads her group and willing to use their "friendship" to boost herself up is no different. Buffy even calls her this after seeing her sacrifice her friends.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Bullied at lot by [[AlphaBitch Alpha Bitches]] during her school years, the most friends she could make were geeks and outcasts like her. This status doesn't get any better after she became a vampire when a club for vampires she tried to get into wouldn't let her in on account of being a "newborn".
* KarmicDeath: Sacrificed her friends to summon a demon, and killed by said demon for not doing the spell properly.
* OhCrap: After the demon informs her of mistake. She goes complete DeerInTheHeadlights before being killed.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Just because they became vampires doesn't mean that makes her and the others automatic fighters. Their first attempt at fighting Buffy barely had the slayer have to do anything as they ended up tripping over themselves in trying to attack her. They only avoid being staked that time because Hester overheard Willow and Buffy talking about her Queen Bee days and stunned Buffy with an ArmorPiercingQuestion, allowing a cheap shot that knocks Buffy down and them running off
