Angel was once a soul to a vampire, a brooding, mysterious ally to Buffy. However, when he loses his soul in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, he becomes Angelus. Upon regaining his soul, Angel becomes a tragic, morally conflicted character pulled between his dark past and the desire to redeem himself. His journey of redemption made him one of the most attractive characters in Buffyverse.
