Helen Brucker was an antagonist in Angel Season 5. A senator for California, she was a demon who “got installed in a human body” and a client of Wolfram and Hart. Through corrupt money, her goal was to become President of the United States in 2008. She is portrayed by Stacey Travis.
It was unknown if the body of the woman she possessed was really a senator or even named Helen Brucker. Helen tended to surround herself with vampires, mostly as bodyguards and staff. In 2004, she sought out Angel, who had become the CEO of the LA branch of Wolfram and Hart, in order to take out her rival Mike Conley. According to her, Mike’s campaign ads were stealing her female voters, as well as using his ‘family man’ attitude to advance that. In retaliation, Helen ordered that Angel brainwash Mike into becoming a pedophile.
Eventually, she was hunted by Charles Gunn for her involvement with the Circle of the Black Thorn. He slayed all of her vampire allies and finally ended the heartless demon’s life by throwing an axe into her head.
