Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

[edit] Bio

A former member of the Watcher's Council, Rutherford Sirk lacked the moral clarity of other Watchers of his generation and found himself doubting about the good fight and the Council's mission, though he was far from the only Watcher corrupted by the knowledge he obtained at the Council.

Tempted by power and ambition, Sirk joined Wolfram & Hart and took along with him several valuable tomes belonging to the Council, including the Devandiré Sybilline Codex. Later when Angel Investigations was offered the LA branch of Wolfram and Hart, he was sent to the Los Angeles branch and was the one that showed Wesley around their research and intelligence division. He received a punch in the face because of his attitude and because Wesley wanted to infiltrate the firm's files and records department.

He showed up once again, now part of Eve and Lindsey's plot against Angel. Sirk claimed to have translated the entire Shanshu Prophecy, sending Angel and Spike against each in the false quest for the Cup of Perpetual Torment, a fake relic which was nothing more than a cup with Mountain Dew, which was supposed to reveal the true champion of the prophecy.

After his deception was discovered, Sirk fled from Wolfram and Hart and the Senior Partners. His current whereabouts and status are unknown.
