Lorne (Angel)
Krevlornswath of the Deathwok Clan, more commonly called, "Lorne" or "The Host," is a fictional character created by David Greenwalt and Joss Whedon for the television series ''Angel''. The character was portrayed by Andy Hallett. Biography Character history Lorne was born as Krevlornswath of the Deathwok Clan in the demonic dimension of Pylea. Lorne, as he prefers to be called, was not like his fellow Deathwok clan demons, who were bloodthirsty "champions" constantly undertaking quests against evil. He is a gentle soul who does not share his kin's prejudice against humans (or "cows" as they are called in his world). Lorne would rather flirt with the female demons and enjoy life than train to be a fighter. He also enjoyed beauty, art, and even music, which was difficult, considering his world had no music.

Drusilla (Buffy The Vampire Slayer)
Drusilla, or Dru for short, is a fictional character on the television series ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' and ''Angel'', portrayed by Juliet Landau. Created by Joss Whedon and David Greenwalt, she is introduced as a main antagonist alongside her lover Spike in the second season of ''Buffy''. In addition to returning in subsequent seasons, the character is featured as a villain on the spin-off show ''Angel'' as well. Flashbacks in both series reveal Drusilla's past as a young psychic in Victorian London who was driven insane by Angel before he ultimately turned her into a vampire. Spike and Dru are notably more subversive compared to other " Big Bads" that have opposed Buffy Summers. The duo was conceived as a ''Sid and Nancy''-inspired vampiric pair so Landau chose to portray Drusilla with a Cockney accent, while the character's physical appearance drew from sources such as supermodel Kate Moss and the 1990s heroin chic aesthetic. Following the conclusion of both series, D ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
