Angelus became a vampire was evening after an orgy of drinking at a pub in Galway, Ireland. Spotting a woman in the shadows, he went after her, bent on seducing her, but the woman turned out to be Darla, a vampire who made Angel a vampire, saying "Let me show you my world...."

We meet Darla in Season One, when she is working for the Master. After a few episodes, she is staked.

Angelus gained a fearsome reputation as a vampire with great talent for cruelty and torture. Whatever area Angelus is in, he is the Master vampire, as his past deeds create an impressive resume. Before he sired Drusilla, he drove her insane, killing her family and blaming her for their deaths. When he first met Dru, he was in the confessional box snacking on a priest when Dru entered on the other side to confess that she had had another psychic vision. Not knowing that it was in fact Angelus, and not the priest she was confessing to, Drusilla became distraught when Angelus insisted that she was an evil creature of Satan's, and would never be good or pure. This was only the start. When he had killed all of her family, she fled to a convent to become a nun, but on the eve of the day when she would take her vows, Angelus turned her into a vampire.

Angelus is a master torturer. When he slept with Buffy and lost his soul, he hurt her friends, not her, because he knew this would torment her more. One time, he entered her room one night when she was sleeping, and drew a picture of her, and left it on the table beside her bed so when she woke up she would realise he had been in her room and she hadn't known about it. Buffy's Slayer senses were horrified. Another time, he drew such another sketch of Buffy's mother, Joyce. He also killed Willow's fish, and skewered them before putting them in an envelope on her bed. Among Angelus's other ghastly acts was the death of Jenny Calender, the computer science teacher at Sunnydale High, a technopagan, and Giles's girlfriend. Jenny had found a way to restore Angel's soul, but Angelus, realising what she was doing, came to the school at night and smashed her computer. After chasing Jenny through the school, he caught her and snapped her neck. Later that evening, Giles returned home, and found his living room filled with candles, a bucket of champagne on ice and a note saying "Upstairs". His stairs were strewn with blood-red rose petals, and a rose was laid on top of the note. As he reached his bedroom, Jenny was lying upon the bed, and it wasn't until Giles had reached the bed and touched her that he realised she was dead.
Later, Angelus used the memory of Jenny to torment Giles into giving up the secret of how to raise Acathla. Dru hypnotised Giles into believing she was Jenny, and coerced him into telling her that Angel's blood was the key. Giles doesn't ever forgive Angel for Angelus's behaviour, although Angelus is a completely different person.

When a vampire is made, a demon replaces that person's soul, and the vampire's new personality is that of the demon's, but it retains some charactersistics, usually. In Angel's case, the demon and Angel's soul before he was turned have been forced to co-habit Angel's body, so the demon struggles for dominance over the soul, and vice versa. Angelus is remorseless, whereas Angel has a deep sense of guilt for his past crimes, which will always haunt him.

On a routine hunt for food, some time in the late 1800's, Angelus killed a gypsy girl. This girl was a favourite with the gypsies, and so they placed a curse upon Angelus: and gave him his soul back.

However good in theory this sounds, it was torture for Angel. He remembered all his victims, his acts of evil, the torture he had put people through during 100 years as a vampire. Before Angel was turned, he was a Catholic, and after his soul was returned to him, his Catholicism increased. Now he has to subsist on packets of pig's blood, and tries to atone for his terrible crimes by helping Buffy, with whom he is deeply in love. When Whistler asked him if he wanted to fight for good or evil, he showed Angel Buffy, and Angel watched over her as she fought the vampires of Sunnydale.

However, as they fell in love, the catch 22 of Angel's curse was revealed: if he attained just one moment of true happiness, he would lose his soul and become a monster again. When Angel slept with Buffy, the moment was attained, and he became a killer.

After many struggles as Buffy tried to come to terms with the fact that, as the Slayer, she would have to kill Angelus, a tomb was dug up from the outskirts of Sunnydale. Inside was Acathla the demon, turned to stone. Angelus stole the tomb from the museum and raised the demon, who with one breath would open a vortex to Hell and take every living thing on Earth into the demon dimension. Spike made a truce with Buffy, as he liked this world and preferred it to Hell, and took Drusilla away, leaving Buffy to kill Angelus, as his blood was the key to killing Acathla again.

However, Willow had found the curse that would return Angelus's soul, and performed it successfully just before Buffy killed him. As he dropped to the floor, his soul returning, Buffy realised what had happened, but saw that Acathla was about to take the fatal breath that would end all life on Earth. Kissing him and telling him that she loved him, she took a deep breath and ran him through with the sword so that it in turn pierced Acathla, and Angel was sucked back into the vortex with the demon.

Inexplicably, Angel returned, soul intact, to Earth from Hell in Season 3, and after a while was haunted by images of his murders. In 'Amends', he discovers that The First Evil brought him back from Hell, to lose his soul with Buffy again and to kill her. However, he decides to kill himself before he can harm her, and Buffy finds him, on Christmas morning, on top of a hill, waiting for the sunshine to kill him. After a long argument, it starts to snow, an occurrence so rare in Sunnydale that Angel decides to stay on Earth and fight for good. After The Ascension, Angel goes to L.A to live there and fight the forces of darkness.
