Marcus Hamilton

Marcus Hamilton was one of the final villains to arrive in the Angel series and also one of the most powerful - he was human in appearance but was actually a supernatural being known as a Child Of The Senior Partners and through their blood was given immense strength, durability and great life. He was originally employed to be Angel's liasion to the Senior Partners during a spell in which Angel was trying to inflitrate the inner-circle of the organisation but made it clear from the start he was neither going to be pushed around nor trust the vampire with a soul - which Hamilton felt would make Angel work for the side of good, of course Hamilton's suspicions were correct from the start but he did not strike out until it became apparent that Angel was using Harmony to pass on bad intel to Wolfram & Hart, suspecting Angel was going after the Archduke Sebassis (a powerful demon-member of Wolfram & Hart) Hamilton fought him with the intent of killing him - however during the battle Angel revealed the truth to Marcus, he had already killed Archduke via poisoning his drink and had decided that Hamilton was the real adversary he had to defeat.

In the battle Hamilton almost stakes Angel but Connor, Angel's "son" - appears in time to save him and the two fight against Hamilton but are unable to do much damage to the powerful villain as he tosses them around like ragdolls, however Marcus seals his own fate when he comments that his power comes from his blood, Angel reverts to his vampiric form and drinks some of Hamilton's blood, giving him the strength needed to snap Hamilton's neck and kill him.

However with Hamilton's death the Senior Partners unleashed an earthquake that destroyed the Wolfram & Hart LA branch as well as unleashing a horde of demons upon Angel as retribution for the death of one of their Children.
