Myspace BackgroundsI was born in November 2001 in Los Angeles, California. I was a "miracle" child, a superhuman born of two powerful vampires, Angel and Darla. My birth was possible because of the Trials Angel went through in an attempt to save Darla's life. Darla was already given a second life when she was resurrected by Wolfram and Hart, and therefore could not be given another. However, Angel was still owed a life since he completed the Trials, so I was made as a result. Darla, fearing that once she gave birth to me she will kill me (Darla was sharing my soul so she was capable of loving me, but once born I would take the entire soul, rendering Darla soulless and therefore murderous again), kills herself to save me (as a vampire, Darla drives a wooden stake through her own heart, so as to leave me more or less unscathed). For the first few months of my life, I become a part of the Angel Investigations family, jointly raised by the entire group at the Hyperion Hotel. I was prophesied to destroy the time-shifting demon lord known as Sahjhan. In an effort to negate the prophecy and save his own life, Sahjhan travels back and forth through time and rewrites the prophecy to read "The father will kill the son," in reference to Angel and me. Shocked and worried for my safety, Wesley Wyndam-Pryce kidnaps me and plans on taking me away from Angel permanently in order to save my life. However, before Wesley has the chance to leave Los Angeles, Daniel Holtz orders his follower Justine Cooper to slit Wesley's throat and take me as vengeance for Angel's murder of his own family centuries ago. It was Holtz's intent to raise me as his own son, renaming me Steven Franklin Thomas Holtz. However, there were several factions that wanted me for different reasons, ultimately resulting in no one getting what they really wanted. The lawyers at Wolfram & Hart wanted me to dissect and analyze me, Sahjhan wanted me killed, Holtz wanted to escape and raise me as his own, and Angel just wanted me returned. This leads to a four-way standoff, with Wolfram & Hart's milita aiming automatic weapons at Holtz, Justine and me, Angel aiming one in turn at the militia (led by Lilah Morgan) and threatening to kill them if they shoot, and Sahjhan opening a rift to the hell dimension Quor-Toth, "darkest of the dark worlds", and threatening to expand it to swallow everyone present if I was not killed. In an intense power play, Holtz runs into Quor-Toth, with me in his arms. Since time runs more quickly in Quor'Toth, I age at an accelerated rate in relation to the time on Earth. I was forced to constantly fight for my life in this violent, demonic dimension. Holtz raises me as his son Steven and tells me tales about Angelus, Angel's soulless vampiric persona - especially what Angelus did to Holtz's family, as well as a slightly biased version of what Angel has become since regaining his soul. This effectively turns me against my true father and I grow to despise him. Mere days have passed since my disappearance in Los Angeles when I (called "The Destroyer" by beings in Quor'Toth) suddenly return, now nearly eighteen years old. I punched a rift out of the dimension and was transported into the lobby of the Hyperion Hotel with one goal: to kill Angel. Conflict and confusion are abundant as I adjust to life in L.A. and is further manipulated by Holtz, who had followed me back into this reality. Eventually, under his own plan, Holtz is killed by his loyal follower Justine in a manner that frames Angel for the action. Enraged, I (with help from Justine) seals Angel in a metal box and sinks him to the bottom of the ocean, where he can survive indefinitely due to his vampiric nature. Afterwards, I seemingly join Angel Investigations, who, at this point, consists of Gunn and Fred. During this time, our primary mission is searching for clues around the disappearance of both Angel and Cordelia. In the meantime, Gunn and Fred act as my guardians; the two become understandably quite hostile towards me when it is discovered that I was behind Angel's disappearance, but they warm up to me again eventually. Upon Angel's return, relations are quite shaky between us, yet slowly improve, I even start to call Angel "Dad" on occasion. Due to my difficult upbringing, I find it difficult to develop emotional attachments to people, yet, once she returns, I form a close bond with Cordelia Chase. When a seemingly all-powerful demon lord known as The Beast rises from the ground in the very same place that I had been born, I feel responsible. As fire rains from the sky, I seek solace in Cordelia's arms. Unknown to me, and to everyone else, is the fact that Cordelia is under the control of a powerful cosmic entity who seeks dominion over the human race, and who has been orchestrating events since Angel first arrived in Los Angeles after the death of the Mayor of Sunnydale four years before in order to be fully brought forth into the world. My night of passion with Cordelia has serious repercussions, as it allows the arrival of this very being, later named "Jasmine". It is revealed that my existence was orchestrated in order for this event to occur. Unfortunately, while everyone basks in the glory of Jasmine, who causes immense joy and peace for whomever is in her presence, I do not feel the same inner peace and was left with untold loneliness and isolation. Struggling with my inner demons and weary from the constant fighting, both for and against Angel, all I want is to rest. This ultimately leads me into a desperate situation where I was willing to hurt not only myself, but others as well. In a final act of love, Angel agrees to take over the Los Angeles branch of Wolfram & Hart in exchange for my life. As per the agreement, I was to have a whole new existence as an ordinary boy raised in a happy family, with no memory of my kidnapping, my childhood in Quor-Toth with Holtz, and the subsequent year since my return. Other than Angel (and some special cases like Cordelia and Eve), everyone's memories are rewritten to accommodate this new reality. Part of my new reality, I become Connor Reilly, the son of Laurence and Colleen Reilly. However, I was destined to cross Angel's path again. A few months after Angel takes over Wolfram & Hart, Laurence and Colleen bring me to the office in order to get some answers about me. Apparently, I was hit by a van and suffered no injuries. Angel sends the family away, saying that there is nothing that he can do for our situation. Soon after, My family is attacked by demons, and, in the struggle, I display an amazing feat of strength, much to everyone's surprise. Having no other choice, Angel informs me of my special abilities, but leaves out the fact that he is my father. However, the attacks were not random occurrences. Cyvus Vail, an elderly demonic sorcerer and the architect of my new life, drew me out on purpose. Vail demands that I fulfill my destiny and kill Sahjhan, whom Vail considers an enemy. When Angel resists, the demon Vail threatens to return my memories. I agree to the fight, but is outmatched (due to having forgotten my formidable fighting skills). Meanwhile, Wesley discovers Angel's deception and confronts him at Vail's. No longer trusting Angel, he shatters the Orlon Window, a magical artifact holding the memories of my original existence, which, upon breaking, restores the memories of those nearby (Wesley, me and Fred/Illyria) and enables me to kill Sahjhan. Even though my memory is restored, I say goodbye and returns to the Reilly family. On the eve of his final battle with the Circle of the Black Thorn, Angel visits me for coffee. I reveal that I know Angel is my father and is grateful for all he has done for me, but prefers to leave it at that. Later, when Angel fights Marcus Hamilton, I show up to fight by my father's side, saving Angel from being staked by Hamilton and helping him to gain the upper hand in the fight. When Angel asks what he is doing there I say, "Come on. You drop by for coffee and the world's not ending? Please." As the Senior Partners begin to exact their vengeance, Angel tells me to go home and that as long as I was safe, the Partners can never destroy him. I provide humans and good demons sanctuary with the help of the benevolent werewolf Nina Ash and the mutant Gwen Raiden after Los Angeles was sent to hell by the Senior Partners. Part of my story surrounds a romance between me and Gwen, but this ends when I discover Gwen has betrayed me and the team. I also actively kill multiple demons, sometimes alongside my father, the now-human Angel. After the team moves back into the Hyperion Hotel, Illyria reveals to the others that Angel is no longer a vampire. Angry with my father for being lied to, I leave, and is forced to pit Angel's dragon against Gwen I realize she is a traitor loyal to Gunn. Gwen subsequently gives her life to hold off W&H's army. Subsequently, I return after Angel has been mortally wounded in a fight with the now-vampiric Gunn, and kicks Gunn out a window before convincing a dying Angel to trust in himself and keep fighting to live. After Gunn causes Illyria to revert to her true form, me, the wounded Angel and Spike are the only champions left standing. I was mortally wounded by Gunn when Gunn tries to prevent me, Angel, and Spike from stopping Illyria, only for him to be restored to life when Angel provokes Gunn into killing him, forcing the Senior Partners to turn back time to the moment of the original alleyway fight and thus restoring all those who have died since Los Angeles had been sent to Hell (Albeit with all their memories of the intervening time intact).A Whole New World - Sweet 202
