sadly even if Ryan did kill a friend of the family it isn't quite bad enough to push into CM for Angel, it took Darin : enslavement, torture, complete disregard for anyone (even his own blood relations), a particulary dislikeable attitude and several other things to get to CM and even he is debated by many (because it is difficult to be a "one-shot" and a CM at the same time).

unless you're a guy like Marcus.. let's remember Buffyverse has one-shot villains such as:


 * swim coach that happily turned his team into monsters, mutating them and keeping them in a cage where he'd fed them staff and even tried to give them Buffy as a "playmate" (AKA sex slave).


 * kiddy league coach who beat a young boy near-to-death after losing a game, putting the boy in a coma as well as sparking incredibly vivid nightmares in the boy due to the trauma of the incident (manifesting as "Ugly Man").


 * Barney in Angel, who was an empathic demon but sadistic and cruel (unlike many such demons I don't believe Barney was a parasite / parasitoid, I think he just did it because he liked it).
