Kakistos

Kakistos's History

Kakistos was an old vampire whose hands and feet had turned cloven. Its Greek name meant "the worst." After killing Faith's first Watcher, Kakistos sought the Slayer in Sunnydale to avenge the scarring she left on him. His traditionalism caused Mr. Trick and his minions to abandon him, and, with Buffy's support, Faith managed to overcome her fear and stake Kakistos, killing him.

In 1998, Kakistos killed Faith's first Watcher in front of her, which the Slayer would describe: "They don't have a word for what he did to her." During this encounter, Faith tried to stop him and left a large scar on Kakistos's face, blinding his right eye. Unable to defeat him, Faith ran away, and Kakistos swore the Slayer would "pay for what she did" to him.

Kakistos traveled to Sunnydale to hunt down the Slayer herself. With him, came an entourage of his minions, most of them fanatical followers led by Mr. Trick, Kakistos' right hand and a modern-minded vampire. They tracked Faith down in her hotel room Sunnydale Motor Inn, and Buffy helped her escape, but Kakistos and his vampires led the running Slayers into his hideout.

In the ensuing fight, Mr. Trick and his vampire minions abandoned Kakistos, fed up by his lack of modern amenities, such as electric lights and cable TV. Buffy staked Kakistos, but the object wasn't enough to dust the powerful vampire. Faith then overcame her fear and staked Kakistos with a support beam, slaying him.
