The Immortal is a fictional character from the Buffyverse, first 'appearing' in the Angel episode "The Girl in Question". The Immortal never appears onscreen throughout the entire episode and is only mentioned. However, from the descriptions we can gather that he is incredibly attractive, athletic, intelligent and also apparently genuinely immortal and unaging. He has accomplished numerous incredible feats and managed to seduce many women, including Darla and Drusilla.
In Angel Season Five, it is established that Buffy has in fact begun living with the Immortal. However, in Joss Whedon's canonical comic series of Buffy's eighth season, it is revealed that this is not really Buffy, but one of two decoys so she can stay hidden from some evil force. (Andrew told Spike and Angel that Buffy was really dating the Immortal as a joke).
Not much information is given about who or what the Immortal is; while he is a vampire in the Queen of the Slayers novel, this is not considered canon (especially in light of the eighth season). According to Angel and Spike, he "may or may not be evil."
[edit] Accomplishments
According to various people who know the Immortal, he is known for accomplishing the following:
- Spending 150 years in a Tibetan Monastery
- Climbing Mount Everest several times.
- Writing a self-help book which, apparently, is a life-changer.
- Dealing with the Italian Branch of Wolfram and Hart several times and surviving. (Ilona Costa Bianchi, CEO of the Roman branch of Wolfram and Hart may have been referring to business dealings or a more personal encounter, quite possibly both)
- "Violating" Drusilla and Darla, not only both of them but both of them at the same time. Something that neither Spike nor Angelus could get either girl to agree to.
- Somehow causing Spike to be sent to jail for tax evasion.
