“I mean, really … I crap better magic than this.”

Played by Dennis Christopher

First Appearance: Origin

An ancient and powerful warlock, Cyvus Vail was as cunning as he was ruthless. As a master of dark magic, he shaped realities and rewrote destinies, most famously crafting the false memories that made Connor, Angel’s son, believe he had lived a normal life. Vail operated from the shadows, pulling strings in the service of Wolfram & Hart while cultivating alliances with some of the most dangerous players in the supernatural world. Despite his frail appearance, his intellect and magical prowess made him a formidable opponent. It was his ambition, however, that ultimately led to his downfall, as Wesley Wyndam-Pryce delivered justice in the form of cold steel. Even in death, Cyvus Vail’s legacy endures as a reminder of the cost of tampering with the threads of fate.
