Twilight is a fictional character created by Joss Whedon for Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight, the canonical comic book continuation of the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Twilight first appeared in the first issue of the run, "The Long Way Home",[1] but his or her identity was first confirmed in the final issue of the "No Future For You".[2] Within the series narrative, Twilight is a villain although many details about the character remain unrevealed.
[edit] Biography
[edit] Character history
Twilight makes his first appearance in the first issue of season 8 from a birds eye view, where he is overlooking Buffy's headquarters in Scotland. Little is known about Twilight, as little information about it has been revealed. It was revealed at the end of "No Future For You", however, that Twilight views the expanded ranks of slayers as a threat to humanity, and plans to bring about the end of the age of magic.[3] In 'Anywhere But Here', the demon Sephrilian points out the irony of Twilight being Buffy's enemy: it's ultimate goal is the destruction of all demons and closing the hellmouths, essentially what Buffy has been fighting for all these years.
In "A Beautiful Sunset", Twilight confronts Buffy, and Satsu while they were slaying a group of vampires. He instantly knocks out Satsu. He then flies Buffy into the air. The battle continues with Buffy and Twilight, Twilight is obviously stronger. He says that he came "just to talk". Although there has been some evidence linking the character to Buffy's past. (Evidence to this is when Twilight says "The chosen one. Always in pain... and always complaining." when first confronting Buffy. Then when Buffy tries to attack him he states "I know that move slayer.".) Twilight's true identity has not yet been revealed, despite a mislead in the issue.[4]
[edit] Powers and abilities
Twilight can fly with great ease and seems to have maintained a great level of maneuverability, able to fight in mid-flight. He also possesses great strength and has mastered several fighting skills. Buffy has met him only once, so far, an encounter in which he easily bested both Buffy and Satsu.[5]

Twilight has appeared three times in the canonical Buffyverse:
