Eve (Liaison to the Senior Partners)

Eve's History

Origin

Though she appeared human, Eve was a child of the Senior Partners, a being given human form and created to do their bidding. According to her, she attended the University of California in Santa Cruz.

Eve was the liaison to the Senior Partners of Wolfram & Hart when Angel and his crew took over the Los Angeles branch of the firm. Never trusted, she came and went at her leisure, usually stirring up trouble.

Against Angel

At some point, Eve met and fell in love with Lindsey McDonald. The two hatched a scheme to slowly but surely demoralize Angel through a variety of means. Eve and Lindsey used a spell to make Angel and his team believe that the existence of two vampires with a soul endangered the existence of the universe, then manipulated Spike into becoming a vigilante and reminder of the work Angel used to do. Eve frequently mentioned Spike's new status as Champion when he became corporeal again, and she put Selminth parasites on Angel that kept him in illusions where he had become a loser and Spike the Champion.

The plan all along was for Spike to save Angel from the agent, but, unfortunately for Eve, Angel recognized Eve in a moment of cognizance as she unleashed the parasite. Though she tried to talk her way out of it, Angel and his friends trusted her even less by then. The revelation that she had been working with Lindsey against Angel put her on the run. Eve hid in Lindsey's apartment, using the runes covering it to remain beyond the Senior Partners' radar.

Eve's position with the firm ended when she was confronted by the new liaison, Marcus Hamilton, and forced to sign away her immortality and other privileges. She came under the legal protection of Angel, as Angel believed she could be useful against the Senior Partners. Lindsey eventually returned from his prison in the Holding Dimension, thanks to Angel, and the two were able to spend some more time together before Angel approached Lindsey for a final mission against the Circle of the Black Thorn, and Lindsey agreed to join in the battle.

Fate

Eve was skeptical of Lindsey's chances of survival during the last battle; indeed, he was ultimately assassinated by Lorne. At a previous meeting, Lorne prophesied that Eve had a terrible future ahead of her. When the Wolfram & Hart offices were being destroyed in an earthquake, Angel told her that Lindsey wasn't coming for her, it was time for her to go. Still in the office, Eve asked: "Go where?"

During the Fall of Los Angeles, the Senior Partners discussed with Wesley the possibility of replacing him with a "zombified McDonald" or Eve herself — implying that, dead or alive, she was back under their control. Wesley, unhappy with being forced to serve the Partners, shot those possibilities down, saying the presence of either alongside Angel would not help the Senior Partners get what they wanted, as the vampire would at worst ignore them and kill them at best.
