The First:


"Evil, absolute evil. Older then man, then demon..." ~ Giles Season 3: Amends

The first is an ancient evil that has the power to bring a person, example Angel, back from the grave. Apparently the first is able to manifest itself because Buffy was killed and brought back, the spell messed up the balance.

"A child shall be born of man and goat and have two heads, and the first shall speak only in riddles..." ~ Buffy Season 3: Amends

Okay, so the first of all evil appeared for the first time in season 3. It was staking claim on Angel's return, it told Angel that he was brought back so he could kill the Slayer. The first uses it's Harbringers of Death to maninfest themselves as spirits to haunt and torture souls. To see a list of forms the first has taken go here: Season 3 or Season 7.

"For they are the Harbringers of death, nothing shall grow above or below them. No seed shall flower, neither man nor..." ~ Giles Season 3: Amends

The harbringers work for the first and are currently being controlled by Caleb an ex-priest who is insane. Anyway no good can come from them their rebels. They are currently running around the world killing off the potential slayers, for the first. Their master plan is to kill all the watchers, potentials and then take out the slayers.

"You think you can fight me? I'm not a demon little girl, I am something that you can't even concieve - the first evil. Beyond sin, beyond death, I am the thing that darkness fears. You'll never see me, but I am everywhere. Every being. Every thought, Every drop of hate..." ~ The First, Season 3: Amends
