| - "Don't underestimate the Anointed One just because he looks a child. He has power over the rest of them. Its source is deep, and old. They'll do anything for him."- Angel to Buffy, "When She Was Bad" The Anointed One is a fictional character in the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The character is played by Andrew J. Ferchland. A prophecy from the Writings of Aurelius foretold the coming of the Anointed One: In the episode "Never Kill a Boy on the First Date", a bus passing through Sunnydale was attacked by a group of the Master's vampires. The driver and four passengers were killed, and two of them made vampires; one of these, a little boy named Collin, became the Anointed, a bloodthirsty companion to the Master. (Buffy killed the other new vampire, psychotic Andrew Vorba, and mistakenly assumed that he was the Anointed.) As foretold by Aurelius, the Anointed One later led Buffy to the lair of the Master. Though it wasn't the literal hell, Buffy would be defeated and killed by the Master. Following the Master's defeat, the Anointed One rallied the remaining members of the Order of Aurelius under his command, employing the vampire Absalom as his leading acolyte. The Anointed attempted to resurrect the Master but was ultimately defeated. Weeks later, he was killed by newcomer Spike. Spike placed him in a cage and hoisted it into the sunlight, destroying him. Afterwards, Spike takes the remaining members of the Order of Aurelius under his control.
