Caleb (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
|
|
Caleb (played by Nathan Fillion) is a misogynistic defrocked priest who is allied with The First Evil and serves as one of the "big bads" of Season 7. (Fillion is one of three actors who had appeared on Joss Whedon's Firefly series who later played a villain on one of Whedon's other shows.) He tries to help The First Evil destroy the Slayer lineage by killing the potentials one by one. He is given extraordinary strength by the First when they "merge." According to the First, Caleb is the only human strong enough to be its vessel.
Caleb likes to reenact his killings by asking the First to take on the form of the girls he killed, so that he may "kill them again."
In "Dirty Girls," Caleb violently blinds Xander in one eye by forcing his thumb into Xander's left eye-socket, during an aborted initial attack on Caleb's vineyard.
Despite a dramatic arrival in Sunnydale when he bested Buffy and her army of potential slayers on several occasions, he is eventually killed at Buffy's hands by being sliced in two with a scythe from the crotch up.
Caleb is a somewhat controversial character; a few Christian groups have claimed that he comes across as an attack on their faith. However, it is made fairly clear early on that Caleb is no longer a priest, having been stripped of his duties sometime before this (presumably as a punishment). To some degree, he is a reworking of a similar (if not supernatural) character played by Robert Mitchum in the film Night of the Hunter.
