Biography

Origin

Liam

In 1753, he was kicked out of a tavern in Galway, Ireland along with his friend after the pair ran out of money. His drunken friend slumped in the snowy road whilst Liam's attention was drawn to an alley by a beautiful blonde woman. He came to learn that her name was Darla and in reality she was a vampire that bit him and turned him into one of her kind where he became known as Angelus. (Episode: Becoming, Part One)

Liam's body was buried; at some point during the night, he rose again. Darla visited his grave, where he had his first taste of blood when a groundskeeper caught them and accused them of being grave robbers. In response to Darla's assertion, Liam set about slaughtering his entire village. First, he massacred his own family, whose blood he later described as the 'sweetest of all'. Liam's little sister, Kathy, had believed her brother had returned to her as an angel, and ignorantly invited him inside the family home. He killed her first, and then murdered his mother. As he killed his father, Liam boasted that despite his father's disapproval, he had managed to make something of himself after all. Whilst gloating over his father's corpse, Darla cruelly deflated Liam, claiming that in the end, his father had claimed the victory because his condemnation would haunt Liam for the remainder of his existence, while his father's suffering, while painful, had been very brief. Liam came to take the name Angelus for himself. (Episode: The Prodigal) After leaving Ireland behind, Angelus and Darla cut a bloody swath through Wales and Northern England before reaching London in 1760. During Angelus' first meeting with Darla's sire, the Angel where he openly mocked the older vampire, despite the Master's greater age, power, and authority. Angelus expressed no interest in the Order of Aurelius' plan to destroy the human world and bring about the return of the Old Ones, as he preferred the hedonistic pleasures of the world above. The Master confronted Darla about her decision to remain underground, and she chose to leave with Angelus. (Episode: Darla)

Afterwards, Angelus and Darla returned to York where by 1764 they were being pursued by a vampire hunter named Daniel Holtz. The two vampire lovers decided to mock Holtz by luring him to an empty cottage where they left a message for him that said, "How do you hope to save others, when you can't save your own?". Holtz continued his pursuit of his quarry but Angelus and Darla later targeted his family where they raped and killed his the vampire hunter's wife Caroline. Darla then turned his daughter into a vampire and was her sire whilst the pair then killed their foe's infant son Daniel Holtz, Jr. (Episode: Quickening) In 1765, Angelus and Darla had a near miss with Holtz in Arles after making too much noise by ordering room service and then eating the waiters. Darla fled to Vienna, knocking out and abandoning Angelus in a burning barn and riding off on their only horse. After meeting again in Vienna and eating a troubadour in Madrid, Angelus and Darla became acquainted with the vampires James and Elisabeth. By 1767, Holtz tracked them down in Marseilles and managed to put numerous arrows in Angelus. After voyaging to Morocco, Holtz briefly lost them in northern Africa. (Episode: Heartthrob) Later, in 1771, Holtz tracked Angelus to Rome and captured him. With the assistance of Monsignor Rivalli, Holtz tortured Angelus while trying to figure out how to get Angelus to help him to capture Darla. But instead, Darla came to the rescue with a horde of vampires. Darla declined to kill Holtz, telling Angelus that she was having too much fun tormenting him and he was then "like family." With this, Holtz abandoned his hunt and retired to York until 1774, when a demon named Sahjhan offered to take him to the future in exchange for his promise to kill Angel and Darla in the future. (Episode: Offspring)

By 1786, he found a young Puritan named Penn and sired a new vampire from him. With the young man, he found someone with the same killer instinct as his himself where he taught Penn on how to make deaths a spectacle. This included branding his victims with the mark of the cross that was a signature by Angelus. The vampire's first victim was his own sister and Angelus then urged Penn to feed on the rest of his own family. Before parting ways, the two agreed to meet up in Italy before the end of the 19th century. (Episode: Somnambulist)

In London, the pair were in the city in 1860 where Darla showed him a human girl named Drusilla who was a young pious woman tormented by visions. Angelus began to stalk her where he tortured her to drive her insane after which he sired her as a vampire. (Episode: Becoming, Part One)
