In the beginning there was a show called Buffy the Vampire Slayer. On it were two lovers destined not to be, the slayer, Buffy Anne Summers and a vampire called Angel. They fell deeply in love, and thought they’d be together for the rest of their lives, well the rest of Buffy’s life anyway. But Angel soon figured that it could never work, he couldn’t give her what she wanted, and she wouldn’t have the life she deserved. So Angel up and left town leaving Buffy in Sunnydale for her to have a  better life. Angel moved to Los Angeles, City of Angels where he lived on his own in a small dark place.

But this wasn’t for long, soon the higher powers sent a half demon called Doyle to him to lead him on his path of righteousness and justice, and to help the helpless. Doyle is half human and half brachen demon. The Powers That Be gave him the power of visions, seeing things given by The Powers before they happen. At first Angel wasn’t in for it, he still wanted to stay away from all human kind, and stick to the shadows where he could stay away from the “temptation”. Doyle has a vision of a girl, Angel helps, but doesn’t save the girl, but kills the fiend that killed her, and helps one of his old Sunnydale friends, Cordelia Chase.

Cordelia, Doyle and Angel banded together to form Angel Investigations, where they help the helpless from the darker side of Los Angeles.
