Warren Mears

Played by Adam Busch

INFORMATION

A former student of Sunnydale High, Warren Mears possessed a keen scientific mind and became an expert on robotics, creating April, a robot girlfriend designed to please him in every way. Eventually, Warren met and fell in love with Katrina Silber, and left April, fleeing home to Sunnydale. April followed him there and soon, Warren encountered the Slayer, and aided her in stopping the rampaging robot. When his success became evident to Spike, he employed Warren to build him a similar robot in the form of Buffy. Katrina, stunned at the robot’s purpose, soon left Warren alone. In the months that followed, Warren teamed up with former classmates Jonathan Levinson and Andrew Wells and together they formed the Trio, a group dedicated to world domination. They provided minor problems for Buffy, but the situation turned more violent when Warren brainwashed Katrina and tried to rape her. While attempting to escape, Katrina was killed when Warren hit her with a bottle across her head. He buried the body and allowed Buffy to think she was responsible. Warren became more determined to kill Buffy in the coming weeks and when she foiled a robbery attempt, he shot her in her own back yard, accidentally killing Tara in the process. His fate was sealed from that moment on, and despite magicks provided by Rack and his own robotic knowledge, Warren was caught by a vengeful Willow who tortured him with images of Katrina, the bullet used to kill Tara and finally flayed him alive.
