Chico De Mayo

A demon, Chico looks almost exactly like a human, except for bony protrusions on his face.

Chico has known Salome since 1995, when she moved to Los Angeles under the identity of Sally Beckett. He dated Salome for "about a day in 1997". He is a self-described "Renissance Man", dealing in many different avenues to make a living. In 1999 this included dealing in the highly dangerous substance Orpheus. He has since kicked this facet of his business.

Chico moved to Palo Alto when he felt the mystical energy gathering. He has been used as a contact by Salome, Andrew and Oni. He has the ability to gather information that others can't. Since Salome quit working at Caritas II, Chico has taken over as bartender. His true motivations are unknown, though he has revealed he finds Oni attractive and he's been known to hang out with Andrew socially.

Matthew Moon

Matthew works at Moon's Magical Supplies, which is owned by his mother. He is a comic fan and made a deal with Andrew to get a discount on comics in exchange for free magical supplies.

Openly gay, Matty's interest in Andrew was romantic. While initially hesitant, Andrew later admitted he was also attracted to Matty. The pair began to date and Matty became an ally of the Justice League. When the fissures to Quortoth began to open more frequently, Matty became a victim of the dimension tears and ended up in the hell dimension. He, however, only spent a few hours there before being saved by Andrew and his friends.

Gord Siegel

A friend of Connor and Jamie's. He has no idea about the demon world, even though he often finds himself in trouble.

Gord was present the day Salome was attacked by the vampire Josh at the CoHo, witnessing the brutal fight. Gord has an appreciation for Salome, thinking she looks "very Betsy Braddock".

He enjoys playing Dungeons and Dragons, a pasttime that nearly got him killed when he was picked as a sacrifice by Tobias Ryan. Gord was knocked out along with his other D&D players when Connor and his friends teleported into Tobias' dimension, thus he believes the entire experience to be a dream.

Gord hangs out with Jamie when Jamie feels he can't handle the pressures of the demon world. They have been known to have Japanese horror movie marathons.

After witnessing Connor's changed attitude and his frequent fighting, Gord began to mistrust Connor, thinking he might be involved with the mob. Gord discovered the truth when he was sent through a fissure into the Quortoth. He spent over a week (to him, over a year) in Quortoth. When he found out about the Destroyer, he understood Connor's new attitude. He was rescued by Connor and brought back to Earth.

She attended Buffy's 21th birthday party, getting trapped in the Summers' home due to a wish made by Dawn to a Vengence Demon. It was at this party that Sophie met Clem, a floppy skinned demon. Sophie hit it off with Clem and the pair began a romance.

When Sunnydale was evacuated, Sophie accompanied Clem to Palo Alto. With the help of Doctor Decarabia and Oni Kato, Sophie began pregnant by Clem. She gave birth to a son recently, Lee Talbot.

Lorne / Krevlornswath of the Deathwok Clan

A Pylean demon, Lorne hated the world he was from. It had no music, and Lorne believed he was going crazy because he could hear it in his head. When a portal opened up, he didn't think twice about jumping through it. He erected a club in the spot he landed: Caritas. Caritas was a haven for both demons and humans, with no violence allowed. Lorne was able to read people's destinies when they sang. He gave advice after his patrons would sing Karaoke.

Lorne became a guide and ally of Angel's. When Caritas was thrice destroyed, Lorne moved in with Angel and became a full member of his team. When they moved to Wolfram and Hart, he headed up the Entertainment Division.

After the battle with the Circle of the Black Thorn, Lorne killed Lindsey MacDonald on Angel's order. He then abandoned the team, unable to put up with the life any longer. He moved to Palo Alto to attempt to open a club once again.

Despite his protests, Lorne still believes in the mission. He now offers help to Connor and his friends, much in the way he first aided Angel.

Lorne is very fond of Salome, who has worked for him on and off as a bartender since Caritas II opened. Because of his friendship with Salome, Lorne's relationship with Connor had greatly improved.

Caritas II suffers a bit due to Lorne's involvement with the Destroyer and his friends. Many of the demons in Palo Alto want to stay away from anyone who would aid the Destroyer. However, Lorne is still steadfast in his loyalty to them.

Magdalen

A former succubus, Magdalen was a prostitute for over a thousand years. She and her sister Dahlia then settled in Palo Alto, opening a cat house, which until 2005 used the cover of Lamia House, a demon sorority on campus. Magdalen eventually grew tired of that life and ran off with a man she met. She stopped using her powers and began to age. When Dahlia told her husband about Magdalen's origins, he left her. Magdalen returned to to Lamia House as a caretaker to the girls Dahlia brought in. Magdalen hated what her sister had become, a controlling slaver who forced girls into prostition.

When Dahlia was defeated, Magdalen offered Connor and his friends Lamia House to rent. She is now their landlady and housekeeper.

Magdalen is deeply intuitive, often observing the goings on of the group quietly. Her advice is often very astute and, like Lorne, advises her young friends on their relationships.

Mistress Meerna Slaid

Meerna is Salome's aunt, the sister of Moriah Slaid Carr.

Meerna turned her back on the Nyazian clan and moved to Los Angeles. She gained a reputation as a dimensional magic expert. She was able to avoid being slaughtered by Cyvus Vail due to her abilities to hide and her steadfast refusal to do large magicks. She was described as one of the most powerful Nyazians, but she refuses to meddle in matters of the mind and reality, instead focusing on her dimensional skills.

After the Nyazian Massacre, Meerna took her niece in and cared for her. Meerna let Salome generally pursue her own path. It was only after Salome fell so deep into guilt-- indulging in alcohol and the dangerous drug Orpheus-- that she finally stepped in. Meerna saved Salome from an attack by Azriel Vail and lectured her on her importance in the coming days. What Salome didn't know at the time was that the Council of Nyazian Elders had already told Meerna that Salome would be instrumental in the destruction of the Nyazian Betrayers.

When Connor broke through the dimension walls to escape Quortoth, Meerna was hired by Lorne to close the rift between the dimensions.

Meerna is shrouded in mystery. It is known she is a cast out Nyazian, which means she no longer possesses a full demon form. It is this outcast status that saved her from being murdered by Cyvus Vail.. She also believes that personal choices affect destiny, but that the Prophecies are of great importance. She is not overly fond of Connor, thinking he's a "schmuck".

The Gatekeeper

Much about the Gatekeeper is unknown, including her name. What is known is that she is a female that appears to be in her late teens or early twenties. The Gatekeeper prevents schisms in time and space, trying to halt temporal activity and altering the memory of those who have been affected by time travel using memory spells. She exists outside of time, thus her origins are unknown. Through conversation with Connor, it is known she will know him and his friends in the future. She is a hybrid of several species, including "The Blood of Illyria".

The source of the Gatekeeper's power is the Cronos Crystal, which was stolen by the acolytes of Jasmine in an attempt to assassinate Connor before he killed Jasmine. When Connor gained control of the crystal, the Gatekeeper's power was restored and she destroyed the Acolytes. When the Crystal was later used to restore the walls between dimensions, the Gatekeeper managed to keep a fissure to Quortoth open for Connor to return to Earth.
