After Holtz and his men kidnapped baby Connor with the unwilling help of Wesley, Sahjhan opened an entrance to Quor'toth during an intense four-way confrontation between himself, Holtz, Wolfram & Hart, and Angel Investigations, forcing Holtz to jump into the doorway with Connor. There, Holtz raised Connor for sixteen years, as time moved faster there than on Earth, molding him into a warrior and demon hunter, instilling in him a hatred for his father.
