YMMV / Buffy the Vampire Slayer S5E20 "Spiral"

• Magnificent Bastard: General Gregor and Dante Chavalier are the leaders of the Knights of Byzantium, a group dedicated to destroying the Key and preventing Glorificus aka "Glory"'s "Big Day". Arriving in Sunnydale, Dante manages to get Orlando out of the mental ward and the two of them then lead an assault on the Scooby Gang's winnebago as they flee the city, eventually winning and making it crash. After tracking the gang to an abandoned gas station, Gregor then leads a full scale assault and while he's captured and a barrier spell is erected, Dante Mercy Kills Orlando to prevent him from serving Glory further. While Dante proves himself an honorable warrior when he allows Ben Wilkinson inside to heal Giles' wounds, Gregor refuses to break for anything, neither pleas that Dawn is human nor beatings from the Slayer, and even takes advantage of the group's dissension by preying on Ben's fear of Glory. After Gregor informs Buffy of Glory's only weakness, Glory resurfaces and kills them all, yet they go down fighting nobly and their information ensures Glory's later demise.
