As well as Drusilla, he also idolized Angelus, Drusilla’s sire, explaining that whilst Drusilla might have sired him,Īngelus had made him the monster that he was. SpikeĪfter Drusilla sired William for companionship, jealous of the relationship between Darla and Angelus, William became incredibly loyal to her. Understandably, this was extremely traumatic for William, and the effects of this trauma stayed with him for decades. William then snapped this in half, before staking her in self-defense. When William rejected her, she tried to kill him by attempting to stake him, using the cane she had relied on when she was sick. His mother was cruel when turned into a vampire, and tried to seduce him, taunting as she did. She accused him of being interested in her sexually and blamed his lack of being able to find a woman on this too. He then went home and turned his mother into a vampire, at the time, seeing it as a cure to her disease.Īfter she had been turned, however, her motherly affection was almost non-existent, and instead, she found William’s love for her to be annoying. She comforted him before feeding on his blood, siring him when she fed him hers in return. When his mother became ill with tuberculosis, she became concerned about William’s future.Īnne hoped that he would marry a woman named Cecily Addams (which later turned out to be Halfrek, a vengeance demon, and friend of Anya’s), however, his mother was the only person to enjoy William’s poetry, resulting in a harsh rejection from Cecily, in which she told him that he was “beneath her”, which stuck with him for the rest of his life – and death.Ĭecily’s reaction caused William to allow a vampire, Drusilla, to sire him when he bumped into her after fleeing the party he was at. They both lived together, and they were really close. He was born to a woman named Anne, who would frequently sing the song “Early One Morning” to him, even when he became a young man, up until he was finally turned into a vampire in 1880 – this would cause some problems for him, later in his vampire life. The same goes for his nickname, Spike – Giles assumed it was because he had a preferred torture method of using railroad spikes, – it became more likely that this was not the case, however, as he might have taken inspiration from people subjected to his poetry, saying it would make you want to“stick a railroad spike through your head,”. In fact, he was such a bad poet, that he earned the nickname ‘William the Bloody’ – but not because he was scary – but they considered his poetry to be ‘bloody awful’. William was a hopeless romantic and a poet – although, not many people considered him a very good one.

Others, however, think he was a better match for the girl in question than anyone else she ever dated, shipping the idea of “Spuffy” to the very end.
