Children of the Senior Partners
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Children of the Senior Partners is a term used to refer to a certain kind of fictional humanoid creature in the cult TV series Angel.
The Children of the Senior Partners are created by these demons through unknown means to act as agents for Wolfram & Hart. Depending on their purpose, they are granted different abilities. All of them have the appearance of humans and cannot be identified as non-humans by vampires, though a pure demon like Illyria was able to tell the difference. Despite this, the blood of these beings is rich in energy and power and can feed a vampire.
The only two members of this kind shown were Eve and Marcus Hamilton. Eve was sent to act as liaison between Angel and the Senior Partners after he took over the Los Angeles branch of the firm. Hamilton was some kind of emissary and/or enforcer that later replaced Eve in her liaison duties.
Both may have become a liaison of the Senior Partners rather than being created as one. From a meeting between them, it is learned that Hamilton knew Drogyn before becoming Angel's liaison to the Senior Partners and the nature of their relationship suggests that Hamilton was serving the Senior Partners in another capacity. Also, the time of their first interaction was a long time ago for Drogyn, who is about a thousand years old at the time of the later meeting, so Hamilton is probably a few centuries old, at least. Eve was known to have had a college career prior to her time at Wolfram & Hart, but that may just be part of her training for her position as liaison to the Senior Partners. Also, Eve went to UC Santa Cruz, which was established in 1965. Unless she went to college at an old age, she is relatively young for an immortal. Note also that in the episode Underneath, Eve states that she is “a child of the Senior Partners, created to do their bidding".
