Well, uh… My father gave me a very tiresome speech about, uh, responsibility and sacrifice.” ―Rupert Giles I had very definite plans about my future. He was one, and his, uh, mother before him, and I was to be next. īiography Early life “ I was ten years old when my father told me I was destined to be a Watcher. After the battle was won, Giles chose to part from London, seeing that the place he was at his best was with Buffy. Feeling purposeless and disconnected, Giles nevertheless chose to aide Angel and Faith from stopping Whistler's release of deadly magical all over the world. After finding a proper incantation, Giles' was successfully brought back to life however, the spell had backfired through his great-aunts' involvement in the ritual, and Giles was forced to deal with the stressful return to his twelve-year-old body, but with his memories, intellect, and experience still intact. Giles' soul was snatched away for eternal torment by Eyghon the Sleepwalker and briefly inhabited in Angel's own body. Angel figured out a way through the Tooth of Ammuk, a magical artifact that would gather pieces of his soul through magical artifacts. Īngel and Faith worked the next year to resurrect Giles despite it being a near-impossible task during the end of magic. Giles participated in the battle to defend Earth from Twilight, but he was ultimately murdered by Angel, who was possessed by the sentience of a newly created universe. After he sent Faith in a mission to eliminate a rogue Slayer, Giles joined Faith in her plan to seek troubled new Slayers to help them come to terms with their powers and prevent them from falling into the path Faith had fallen to in the past. Īfter the power of the Slayer was activated in multiple Potential Slayers throughout the world, Giles helped Buffy create the Slayer Organization, but he kept Buffy at a distance while he secretly investigated her role in the Twilight prophecy. When Buffy's leadership was questioned by her friends and allies, Giles sided against Buffy but reconciled with her when Buffy devised a plan that would allow the Scoobies to defeat the First. However, he came into conflict with Buffy regarding the vampire Spike, whom Giles considered a potential threat. When the First Evil began its campaign and had the Watchers Council destroyed, Giles gathered a group of Potential Slayers and returned to Sunnydale to prepare for the coming battle. After she was stopped, Giles took her to England to aid her in her rehabilitation and coming to terms with her power. He returned to Sunnydale the next year to stop Willow from destroying the world, nearly losing his life in the process. He left Sunnydale in 2001 when he came to the realization that he had to leave Buffy so she would embrace the responsibilities of adulthood. įired from the Council, Giles struggled to find his way among the Scoobies, until he became the owner of the Magic Box shop and eventually reinstated in his position as Watcher.
As the Watcher of Buffy Summers, Giles developed a father-like bond with his charge, not only training her but also fighting by her side and openly defying the Council in order to save Buffy's life, which ultimately led to his dismissal from the Council. Born into a family who worked for the Watchers Council for at least three generations, Giles initially rebelled against his family legacy and became a rogue warlock, until the death of a close friend led him to return to the Council's fold. Rupert Edmund Giles was the Watcher and father figure of the Slayer Buffy Summers, the former librarian of Sunnydale High School, and the occult expert of the Scooby Gang. That is useless to the cause.” ― Quentin Travers
