Wesley Wyndam-Pryce made his first appearence in the Buffyverse as the Watcher to the new Slayer, Faith, and a replacement Watcher to Buffy Summers. Wesley was a reoccuring character on the show for the better part of Season Three, leaving Sunnydale after the season finale at the urging of the Watchers Council after Faith went bad and Buffy quit the Council.

As far as most viewers knew that was the last that we would see of Wesley. However in the middle of the first season of the new BtVS spin off, Angel, popular character and sidekick, Doyle was killed off.

Rumors then began circling that the Watcher everyone loved to hate from BtVS season three would become a cast member on Angel. The rumors were somewhat confirmed a few short weeks before Wesley made his first appearance comically calling himself a Rogue Demon Hunter.

After Buffy quit the Council and left Wesley and the Council slayerless, he found himself unemployed. With out any real direction he bought a motorcycle and went about the business of attempting to do what he knew best, though in an entirely different way than he had ever originally considered, fighting the good fight against other worldy evil.

Shortly after Doyle's death Wesley happened upon Angel as they both sought the same demon for slaughter and by the end of the episode he had somehow, and somewhat awkwardly, found himself the third of the group known as Angel Investigations.

Wesley has proven himself, time and time again, to be an invaluable player in the group. His knowledge of demonology and ancient prophecy surpasses that of the rest of the group. A group which would eventually grow from three to at times six. But like any human, sometimes Wesley does make mistakes, for example reading a word wrong in an ancient prophecy or falling for an altered one. Which led to his current estrangement with his fellow team members at AI.

Seperations from once trusted and still beloved friends aside, Wesley is still fighting the 'good fight' in his own way, and alone. He appears to still be fighting off LA's ever increasing horde of evil demons and spent his summer researching both Cordelia and Angel's wereabouts after the two vanished at the end of season three. He discovered both of them, though Cordelia to a lesser degree, and managed to save Angel from a lifetime adrift the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

Romantically Wes had a short lived relationship with Virginia Bryce, the daughter of a wealthy and evil client. The relationship was short lived after Wesley was shot by a voo-doo induced police officer. Virginia couldn't deal with the everyday danger that involved Wesley after years of dealing with it in her father's home. She left him rather abruptly.

He moved on of course. Soon after Fred, a refugee from Pylea, was brought into the Hyperion and joined the group in their demon/crime busting ways. Wesley found himself somewhat enamoured with the awkward, odd and intellectually gifted woman. Fred did not return the sentiments and considered Wesley rather platonically as she began a relationship with Gunn, another AI member. Of course the besotted Wes was disappointed and only the tiniest bit bitter over this new development between Gunn and Fred but he little time to harp on it before the big bang that changed his life yet again, his estrangement with AI.

Wesley's newfound alienation from his friends, those he considered family, led him to a rather harsh connection between longtime enemy and royal thorn in his side, Lilah Morgan.
