First Appearance: Never Kill a Boy on the First Date

A young boy travelling with his mother into Sunnydale in the summer of 1997, Collin was present on a bus when a cadre of vampires sent by the Master to fulfil an ancient prophecy attacked and killed him. As Buffy battled a vampire who she believed to be the prophesised Anointed One, she was unaware that Collin himself was the Anointed and sat at the Master’s side… his mission: to lead the Slayer into Hell. Weeks later, the Anointed One walked the streets of Sunnydale and led Buffy to the Master. Although the battle ended with the death of their lord, the Anointed One took command of the vampires and was crucial to a plan to resurrect the Master using the blood of Buffy’s allies. The attempt failed when Buffy intervened. A few weeks later, Spike and Drusilla arrived in town, but again failed to kill Buffy. Angered, Spike rejected the status of the Anointed One and casually threw him into a cage, and plunged it into the rising sun, turning the Anointed to dust.
