[edit] Jinx
Jinx is a minor recurring character on the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer during season 5.
He is a demon and worships Glory, whom he serves as a minion. He, as all of Glory's minions, wears a brown robe, his appearance is somewhat like other demons in the Buffyverse - but the black eyes stand out with this particular race. The race are not given a name and we do not learn it throughout the show. The proof of his minionship comes with the lines that he says and humble tones, often exaggerating Glory's beauty and diminishing himself when he does something incorrectly (which, in Glory's eyes, is often). He seems to take the alpha role of the rest of the minions that serve "The Beast", and is usually dispatched by Glory on tasks of some importance. Sent by Glory to get information from her alter ego, Ben, Jinx was the one who discovered that the key was in human form. Jinx had several near death experiences while working for Glory, he was beaten up and stabbed by Ben, and was nearly killed by the Knights of Byzantium before being saved by Glory herself at the last minute. He is often blamed by Glory when something isn't going the right way for her. Though it should be noted that Jinx is the only person that Glory seems to have real affection for, when he is stabbed by Ben Glory is genuienly worried and concerned about him. When he dies from his injuries she orders him to be revived.
Curiously, Jinx disappeared from the show after "Tough Love" despite being Glory's main minion and being saved from death in the previous episode (probably because the character was too much of a comic relief for the tragic story arc that followed this episode). His fate is unknown.
Jinx is portrayed by Troy Blendell.
[edit] The Judge
The Judge is a fictional demon appearing in the series Buffy The Vampire Slayer. He is portrayed by Brian Thompson, who had also portrayed the vampire Luke in the series premiere.
The Judge was an ancient and legendary demon from the Middle Ages, who was brought forth to rid Earth of the plague of humanity. He was aptly named The Judge for he had come to separate the righteous from the wicked, and burn the righteous down. An army was sent against the Judge, and though most of the warriors died, the army was finally able to dismember the Judge, but not to kill him. The pieces were placed in iron boxes and scattered to be buried "in every corner of the Earth". For six hundred years he remained aware of his status.
As Drusilla's 1998 birthday present, Spike has all the pieces of the Judge brought to Sunnydale. Drusilla plans to reassemble the Judge and unleash Armageddon. Spike's minions succeed in reuniting all the pieces and taking them to Spike and Dru's lair, except for one of the arms, which Dalton loses to Buffy. At The Bronze, Buffy opens the box, and the Judge's arm immediately attacks her.
Fearing that the Judge would be too dangerous to fight, Angel decides to take a ship to hide the arm in Nepal, thus leaving the Judge incomplete, which would have ended Dru's plot to reawaken the demon. However, Dalton and Spike's minions manage to steal the arm back from Buffy and Angel.
With the pieces complete, the Judge is reassembled before an ecstatic Drusilla. The Judge shows contempt for her and Spike as the two share affection, a quality considered by the Judge to be human. The Judge wanted to kill them until Spike reminded him that he and Dru had brought him back. Deeming them "helpful" for his purposes the Judge agreed to leave the two unharmed. Seconds later, the Judge turns on Dalton, whom the Judge also deems "full of feeling" (Dalton's love for knowledge). As he had just been awakened, the Judge wasn't at his full power, and needed to touch his victims to incinerate them, as he demonstrates on Dalton, much to Drusilla's delight.
Buffy and Angel find themselves in mortal danger when they go to the Factory, only to find the Judge already assembled, and Spike and Dru ready for their visit thanks to Drusilla's premonitions. Buffy and Angel barely escape, Buffy having already felt the Judge's deadly power when she kicked the demon. The two hide in Angel's apartment, where they share an intimate encounter, which causes Angel to lose his soul. Meanwhile, the Judge rests, waiting for his powers to return to full strength.
The now unsouled Angel returns to the Factory. The Judge attacks him but is unable to incinerate him, as Angelus is "clean of humanity", according to the Judge. While it has been established that all vampires (see Vampire) have some humanity in them, the Judge's powers do not work on Angelus, despite the fact that he's a vampire, as he's incapable of feeling love or affection (unlike Spike and Dru or Dalton), and is a true creature of evil, meaning that he is capable of surviving the touch of the Judge.
With his powers restored, the Judge is taken by Angelus and Dru for a massacre at a mall. With a mere gesture, the Judge incinerates a man and then attacks a large number of people. The Judge's power bounces from a human to the next, thus creating a web of victims. Before the victims die, Buffy attacks the Judge with a crossbow. The Judge reminds Buffy that no weapon forged can hurt him, prompting Buffy to fire a rocket launcher at him. Unfamiliar with modern weaponry, the Judge merely stands as the projectile flies towards him. Angel and Dru escape, while the Judge is destroyed, though not killed, by the explosion. The pieces of the Judge are then picked by the Scoobies, who proceed to dispose of them, taking great care to keep them separate.
The Judge is a human-like tall and lumbering demon with blue skin and solidly black eyes. His body is covered by a metallic armor and his head sports three bone crusts.
The Judge's main power was to "burn the humanity" out of a person. The "humanity" in question is not the humanity in the personality of the victim, as the personality of a vampire is a result of the human predecessor, but the emotional capacity of the Judge's target. Angelus is immune to the Judge because he is a truly evil being, incapable of affection or love, unlike Spike and Drusilla.
The Judge was also capable of sensing the emotions and feelings of others, as proven by the fact that he instantly senses that Spike and Dru are lovers and that Dalton has a love for reading and knowledge.

[edit] Kakistos
Kakistos was a master vampire on Buffy the Vampire Slayer during season three. He was played by Jeremy Roberts.
Kakistos (Greek: Κακιστώς / Κακιστος) (whose name is said in the series to be Ancient Greek for "the worst of the worst"; in actuality, the word means simply "the worst") is an ancient vampire so old that his hands are actually cloven hooves, a trait that vampires have lost over the ages. He is well known enough to have been heard of by Rupert Giles, although Buffy Summers misrecalled the name as "Kissing Toast" or "Taquitos" the first time she heard it. He had assembled a small cult of fanatically loyal minions known whose motto was "For Kakistos we live, for Kakistos you die".
Kakistos traveled to Sunnydale to hunt down Faith. The two had already faced each other in a fight that resulted in the death of Kakistos' pet alligators and him receiving a massive scar that ruined his right eye. In retaliation, Kakistos murdered Faith's first Watcher before a horrified Faith, who escaped to Sunnydale hoping to avoid Kakistos.
While Kakistos' right hand, Mr. Trick, quickly laid plans as to how to adapt to Sunnydale and enjoy their unlife, Kakistos only cared for torturing and killing Faith. Not wanting to displease his master, Trick quickly tracked down Faith to her motel. The ancient vampire took all his minions hunting.
Kakistos however, was abandoned by Mr. Trick, who regarded his master as retrograde and "cheap". Buffy staked Kakistos to no avail, however, Faith impaled the vampire with a large beam of wood, finally killing him.
Season 3, "Faith, Hope & Trick", Spike and Dru: Pretty Maids All in a Row, Chaos Bleeds, Go Ask Malice.

[edit] Lothos
Lothos first appeared in the Buffy movie, where he was played by Rutger Hauer. Although this film is not considered canon in the Buffyverse, it was later adapted into a comic book entitled The Origin in which Lothos played a similar role. Lothos is a vampire, and the first major enemy of Buffy Summers.
A powerful vampire of unknown age, Lothos killed several Slayers during the Dark Ages. He and his empire eventually come to Los Angeles, where he is responsible for the death of Buffy Summers' first Watcher, Merrick. Upon discovering the Slayer's identity, Lothos and his minions attack her high school dance. Despite her relatively little experience, Buffy manages to defeat Lothos by creating a makeshift blowtorch using a crucifix and a can of hairspray.

[edit] Jesse McNally
Jesse McNally (played by Eric Balfour) is a minor character in the first season. Appearing in the first two episodes, he is a close friend of both Willow Rosenberg and Xander Harris at the time that Buffy Summers transfers to Sunnydale High School. He has a crush on Cordelia Chase.
Jesse is captured by the Order of Aurelius to be offered to The Master. He is turned into a vampire in order to lure the Slayer into a trap.
When confronted by Xander, Jesse shows the typical attitude of newly-sired vampires, astonished by his newfound powers and immortality. Rupert Giles had earlier warned Xander that when he saw Jesse, he wouldn't be looking at his friend but rather at the creature that killed him. In the ensuing battle, the vampire Jesse is accidentally killed by Xander, when a character rushing past pushes Jesse onto the stake that Xander is threatening him with.
Despite being such a close friend to Xander and Willow, after his death Jesse is never mentioned again.
[edit] Murk
Murk was a minor recurring character during season 5. He was a demon and worshipped Glory, whom he served as a minion. Murk was portrayed by Todd Duffey.
[edit] N
[edit] Kathy Newman
Kathy Newman (played by Dagney Kerr) appears in the first two episodes of season four. She is Buffy's first roommate in the dormitory at UC Sunnydale. She is portrayed as an overly-eager and annoyingly cheery teenage girl, who wanted "a stable non-smoker" for a roommate.
Kathy and Buffy soon begin to have serious disagreements. Kathy plays Cher's "Believe" on repeat loop, obsessively labels all her property including the eggs in the fridge, and is more of a neat freak than Buffy can handle. Buffy begins to act uncharacteristically hostile towards Kathy, and at first her friends believe it is simply due to Buffy's upbringing as an only child. Later it is revealed that Kathy is in fact a demon who had fled her own dimension to go to college. Her clan was about to locate her, so she performed a series of spells to mask her presence from them – spells that temporarily removed Buffy's soul. In the end, Giles reverses the spell and Kathy is transported back to her demon dimension. Willow, who has gone through her own roommate problems, moves in with Buffy afterwards.
(Note: Buffy remains an only child during this mini-arc as the arrival of Dawn, which will change characters' memories, will not happen until Season Five.)
[edit] O
[edit] Olaf
Olaf was once human, the lover or husband of Aud; he cheated on her with a "load-bearing" bar matron, and Aud punished him by transforming him into a gigantic troll. The panache of this spell brought Aud to the attention of the demon D'Hoffryn, who recruited her as a vengeance demon, renaming her Anyanka. Olaf is introduced as a troll in "Triangle" (season 5), and appears in human form in a flashback in "Selfless" (season 7). Olaf's hammer was used by Buffy herself during her battle against Glory in "The Gift". Olaf was played by Abraham Benrubi.

[edit] Rack
Rack is a minor recurring fictional character on the UPN TV Show Buffy the Vampire Slayer during season six. He is portrayed by Jeff Kober.
Rack is an ambiguously evil warlock who appears in three episodes, "Wrecked", "Villains", and "Two to Go". Although he only appears in Season Six, Rack has apparently resided in Sunnydale since at least early Season Three (see below). In "Wrecked", When Buffy mentions Rack to Spike, Spike immediately recognizes the name and is quite alarmed to learn Willow and Dawn are in his company.
In "Wrecked," Amy talks Willow into paying Rack a visit after having exhausted all their own magics. Rack's hideout is cloaked, so that only demons and those with magic abilities can find it. Once inside, there is a waiting room with several people (who resemble heroin addicts in their mannerisms) and a back room, where Rack lives. Rack and Amy had had some sort of prior relationship, as Amy apologizes for being gone so long and Rack knows that she had been a rat. After the pleasantries, it becomes increasing clear that Rack is the mystical equivalent of a drug dealer, as he will not share his magic until after Willow (whom he nicknames "Strawberry") allows him to violate her mentally. After this, Willow and Amy spend several hours with Rack, 'high' on magic. Willow's addiction to magic becomes immediately more severe, and she goes back to Rack's apartment the next night with Dawn grudgingly in tow. After being chased by a demon (a side effect of Rack's spell), and an injury sustained to Dawn's arm during a car accident, Willow renounces her use in magic and severs her contact with Rack and Amy.
It is not until "Villains," that Rack appears again when Warren Mears accidentally shoots and kills Tara Maclay, Willow's girlfriend during a botched assassination attempt on Buffy. Warren pays Rack handsomely for protection when he gets word that the Slayer has survived, but Rack warns him that Buffy is the least of his problems compared to what is coming, Willow. Rack does give Warren protection spells and even some magical weapons, but is then visited by Willow who kills the somewhat unstable warlock by sucking his life force into hers, giving her a much needed magical boost.
According to Clem, Rack had a thing against demons of his kind, but this is only mentioned and never shown.
[edit] Roden
Roden is a character introduced in the comic book continuation, Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight. He first appears in "No Future For You" and is created by Brian K. Vaughan with supervision from series creator Joss Whedon. He is the "tutor" of Lady Genevieve Savidge, a renegade Slayer. He is tutoring and coercing Savidge into killing other Slayers to further his unknown ends. He is an Irishman and commands magical abilities as well as loyal golem servants.
[edit] Sweet
Sweet is the name of the Demon in the musical episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, "Once More, With Feeling". He is portrayed by Hinton Battle.
Sweet is a smooth-talking demon with an ironic sense of humour (sarcastically telling the Scoobies at the end of the episode that "they beat the bad guy", when, in fact, he leaves of his own volition, and only after the others have aired out their inner demons) and a lazy eye. He has hypnotic and/or magical powers which enable him to control others; as he demonstrates by making Dawn and others sing and dance (and as he makes them dance he flexes his fingers, like a puppeteer pulling the strings of a marionette). He is boastful by nature, and is only too happy to drop famous historical names such as Nero (claiming he bought him "his very first fiddle"). He has a talent for dancing and singing. Even though his pride is only too apparent throughout the episode, he is reluctant to tell Buffy his name (instead saying, "I've got a hundred").
When he is summoned via an incantation he is freed, and when Dawn puts on his amber pendant, he uses his three ventriloquist's dummy-like henchmen to kidnap her and take her to The Bronze. It is there he reveals that he is to blame for the singing, dancing and spontaneous combustion of so many of Sunnydale's citizens; and because he believes she summoned him, he will take her down to the underworld to be his queen. He tells one of his underlings to tell Buffy that Dawn is here (once Dawn lets slip that her sister is the Slayer), to lure her into a trap. However, his trap to kill the severely depressed Buffy is foiled when Spike rescues her, and it is revealed that Dawn merely stole the pendant from the shop and it was actually Xander who freed the demon. Sweet is less thrilled at the thought of having Xander as his queen, so he decides to "waive that clause just this once". He then smugly tells the Scoobies that he has caused them to reveal all of their innermost secrets, worries and hostilities. He then vanishes, leaving the devastated Scoobies to sing one last song: the aptly-named "Where Do We Go From Here?"
He's one of very few Buffyverse villains to escape, and likely the only one to actually "win" against the Scoobies.
The demon's name never appears in the episode, but is given as "Sweet" in the credits, the shooting script and the liner notes of the Once More, With Feeling soundtrack CD.

[edit] Mr. Trick
Mister Trick is a fictional vampire on Buffy the Vampire Slayer during season three. He was played by K. Todd Freeman.
Mr. Trick is a vampire of African-American origin who came to Sunnydale with his master, Kakistos, to hunt down the Slayer Faith. Unlike Kakistos, who is driven by animalistic instincts, Mr. Trick is an innovator who enjoys comfort and prefers not to get his hands dirty. Trick enjoys the amenities of modern occidental life, such as fast food employees and pizza delivery boys. He abandons his master to meet his demise at the hands of Faith and Buffy Summers because he considers Kakistos retrograde and "cheap".
After Kakistos's death, Mr. Trick hosts "SlayerFest '98", assembling a group of human and demonic contestants each of whom gambles a large amount of money for the chance to hunt down kill Buffy and Faith (having never seen Faith, the assassins mistake Cordelia for the second Slayer). Afterward Trick is drafted into serving Mayor Richard Wilkins as the leader of his vampire minions. Trick hires Ethan Rayne as part of the plot to obtain the tribute that Wilkins requires to pay to the demon Lurconis ("Band Candy"), and later arranges a vampire "welcoming committee" when Spike returns to Sunnydale ("Lovers Walk").
Acting as Wilkins' middle-man, and later as his personal hitman, proves to be his undoing. Trick leads a small team of vampires to personally eliminate Buffy and Faith. He manages to injure Buffy and has her at his mercy, but as he gloats that he will now taste a Slayer's blood, he is staked through the back by Faith. Hours later, Mr. Trick's position is filled by Faith herself. ("Consequences")
Not much is known about Mr. Trick's origin or actual age, but it is safe to assume that he was around during the time of segregation, once quipping to the Mayor, "If this is the part where you tell me that I don't fit in here in your quiet little neighborhood, you can just skip it. 'Cause, see, that got old long before I became a vampire, if you know what I mean." ("Homecoming") He also mentions having living descendants, and enjoying Marmaduke because "Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kinda dog." ("Bad Girls")
[edit] V
[edit] Veruca
Veruca (last name unknown) is a fictional character in the U.S. television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer who first appeared in the episode, "Living Conditions". Veruca appeared in three episodes of season four and was played by Paige Moss.
Veruca is a seductive lead singer in a band called "Shy". She and Oz knew of each other through the music scene but crossed paths one night when Oz joined Buffy in one of her patrols. Both Veruca and Oz sensed something about each other but quickly continued with their own activities. Oz quickly became somewhat attracted to her, much to the chagrin of his then-girlfriend, Willow, who felt threatened by someone who was involved in the music industry. However, the connection between the two was not limited to their art.
During one of Oz's wolf nights, he escaped from his cage and copulated with a female werewolf. This werewolf was actually Veruca, who, unlike Oz, was able to retain the memories of her experiences during her transformation due to having been a werewolf longer.
Veruca tried to convince Oz to embrace his werewolf persona rather than contain it within his otherwise stoic, civilized identity, claiming that he had not been human since the day he was first bitten, and the two of them thus belonged together. Oz, in an attempt to protect people from Veruca, locked her with him in his cage, a place in which they mated again. The affair was discovered by Willow, who tried to use her magic to curse both of them, but was unable to go through with it. Veruca sought out the fledgling witch, intending to kill her, and almost succeeded if not for Oz, in his werewolf form, fought and killed Veruca by viciously biting her in the throat. Realizing he could not go on like this, Oz left Sunnydale to embark on a journey to find a cure for his condition.
Veruca's name is probably a reference to the selfish Veruca Salt character in the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
[edit] General Voll
General Voll is the general of an American army. He only appears in "The Long Way Home" story arc of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight, the television series' official continuation. Voll investigates the ruins of Sunnydale before later soliciting Warren Mears, and Amy Madison to kill Buffy Summers. After capturing Willow Rosenberg and confronting Buffy in the ensuing melee, he mentions that he is part of the group called "Twilight", which views Slayers as a threat to humanity.
