Angel is a vampire whose reign of terror began in Ireland in 1753 and ended on a night in Romania in 1898 when a Gypsy curse restored his soul. Horrified and tormented by all the acts of evil he had done, Angel began a slow descent into madness until a demon named Whistler offered him a chance at redemption. That chance took him to Sunnydale, California in 1997, where he formed a most unusual alliance with The Slayer…and where he fell in love.
