Biography

Character history

Twilight makes his first appearance in the first issue of "Season Eight" from a birds eye view, where he is overlooking Buffy's headquarters in Scotland. Little is known about Twilight, as little information about it has been revealed. It was revealed at the end of "No Future For You", however, that Twilight is the leader of an Initiative-like group that shares his name. He views the expanded ranks of Slayers as a threat to humanity no better than an army of demons, and plans to bring about an end of the age of magic, both good and evil. [ [http://www.ifmagazine.com/review.asp?article=1857 iFMagazine.com: Review: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER - SEASON EIGHT - ISSUE #4 ] ] In "Anywhere But Here", the demon Sephrilian points out the irony of Twilight being Buffy's enemy: his ultimate goal is the destruction of all demons and closing the Hellmouths, essentially what Buffy has been fighting for all these years.

In "A Beautiful Sunset", Twilight confronts Buffy and Satsu while they are slaying a group of vampires. He instantly knocks out Satsu and flies Buffy into the air. The battle continues with Buffy and Twilight, with Twilight being the stronger of the two. He says that he came "just to talk". Although there has been some evidence linking the character to Buffy's past, such as his line to Buffy when he first confronts her: "The Chosen One. Always in pain... and always complaining", and his later statement, "I know that move, Slayer", Twilight's true identity has not yet been revealed, despite a mislead in the issue.

Powers and abilities

Twilight can fly with great ease and seems to have maintained a great level of maneuverability, able to fight in mid-flight. He also possesses superhuman strength and has mastered several fighting skills. Buffy has met him only once so far, an encounter in which he easily bested both Buffy and Satsu.
