Spike [S05], played by James Marsters
Spike, played by James Marsters, had little to do with the series other than Angel's flashbacks until season five. Spike appeared first in season one with the episode "In the Dark." Spike's only reason for coming to Los Angeles was to retrieve what Oz brought to Angel. With that prize being destroyed, Spike left the series to return back to Sunnydale.
Aside from flashbacks, Spike returns to the series in season five. He comes back against his will as a visible ghost. Spike is bound to Wolfram & Hart through the amulet he wore at his destruction in Sunnydale. Spike, not fond of Angel, wants to leave the city all together. After a while, Spike decides to hang around the town when he is made corporeal again. Spike sees the potential good he can do in Los Angeles. Spike is befriended by long time Angel enemy Lindsey, who poses as Doyle, to put Spike on a "right track for redemption." The premise becomes who is the champion the Shanshu Prophecy speaks of. Spike stands by the team until the series finale where he, Angel, Gunn, and Illyria prepare for their final battle. |
