| RUPERT GILES BIO
He was born to an upper-class family in London, England. His family had worked with the Council of Watchers for at least three generations. His father and his Grandmother (Edna) were both Watchers. As a child Giles dreamed of being a "Fighter Pilot" or a "Green-Grocer," but his Watcher Destiny was explained to him by his Father when Giles was ten years old. (Season 1 Epsiode 5)
Giles became a rebellious young adult in 1975, when he dropped out of Oxford University, at age 21, where he was working on a history degree.degree. It was at this time that he began exploring the Dark Arts for fun and/or financial gain, and earned the nickname "Ripper". Giles also befriended a group of his peers (Ethan Rayne, Phillip Henry, Dierdre Page, Thomas Sutcliffe, and Randall). During this time he untruthfully claimed to be a founding member of the band Pink Floyd to impress girls. He also possibly stole cars to go joyriding. And he and his friends summoned the demon Eyghon who killed Randall. After Randall's death they failed to exorcise Eyghon and Giles accepted his destiny as a Watcher in 1980. Before coming to Sunnydale to be Sunnydale High School's Librarian, he worked as Curator at a British museum.
Giles came to Sunnydale at the order of the Watcher's Council. It was here that he met the current Slayer, Buffy Summers and they began training in the library, which becomes the Command Center for the Scooby Gang (Giles, Buffy, Xandr Harris, Willow Rosenberg). He develops romantic feelings for teacher Jenny Calendar, and develops a friendship with the vampire Angel. While Giles and Angel are researching The Master they come across a prophesy in The Pergamum Codex, that foretells Buffy's death while facing The Master. When Buffy learns about the prophesy, she makes the decision to quit being the slayer. This makes Giles realize that he has spent too much time hiding behind his books and he decides to go fight The Master himself. When Buffy finally accepts her destiny as the Slayer, she knocks Giles out cold with a single punch when he tries to stop her.
Giles then becomes overbearing with Buffy's slayer duties, causing Buffy to rebel and she attends a frat party where she and Cordelia are almost sacrificed to the demon Machida. After being lectured to by Willow, Giles assists in saving Buffy and decides to stop pushing her so hard. When Ethan Rayne comes to Sunnydale to flee the demon Eyghon, Giles shamefully confesses to Buffy that he was responsible for summoning the demon in his youth, and his horrified when Jenny Calendar becomes possessed by it. Although Eyghon is eventually defeated, Jenny takes time to recover from her ordeal by mantaining distance between herself and Giles. When Jenny reveals that she is a member of the Kalderash Clan of gypsies, the clan who cursed Angel with his soul. And that she has been sent to keep a close eye on Angel's relationship with Buffy, to ensure that Angel does not achieve perfect happiness and lose his soul, Giles feels betrayed by Jenny. When Angel loses his soul and murders Jenny, Angelus places Jenny's body in Giles apartment for Giles to find. Angelus also decorates the apartment to set a romantic mood, to confuse and anger Giles. Giles then sets out to avenge Jenny's death by setting fire to Angelus' nest and he tries to dust Angelus. But Buffy stops and saves Giles before he got himself killed. Angelus later kidnaps and tortures Giles to makes Giles reveal the key to awaken Achathla. After the torture fails to make Giles talk, Angelus gets Drusilla to hypnotize Giles into beliving that Drusilla is Jenny. Falling for the illusion Giles reveals the key. Angelus then uses the information that Giles has told him to awaken Achathla. Buffy arrivesand rescues Giles, and kills Angel to stop Achathla. Buffy then runs away from Sunnydale.
Giles spends the next several months searching for Buffy, following the smallest clue. He is overjoyed when she eventually returns, but he and Buffy's mother, Joyce Summers, start planning out Buffy's life and overscheduling her, which frusterates Buffy. But Giles and Joyce eventually start going easier on her. Giles serves as slayer Faith Lehane's Watcher for a brief peroid of time. The Scoobies are once again given a frightening glimpse into Giles' past when he, along with every other adult in Sunnydale, are mentally reverted back to their teenage personas by enchanted band candy. While Giles is under the influence of the candy he commits theft, vandlism, and has sex with Joyce. But he helps Buffy save babies from the demon Lurconis. It is also revealed that he is a fan of the 60's band Cream, and thier song "The Tales of Brave Ulssyes" which he plays for Joyce. When Giles discoveres that Buffy has been hiding the return of Angel from Hell from from him and the Scoobies, Giles feels betrayed, since Angel had murdered Jenny and tortured him. Giles does come to Angel's aid when Angel is being tortured by The First.
