Acathla
from the Buffyverse Wiki - a free Buffy and Angel fan community
- "Acathla, the demon, came forth to swallow the world. It was killed by a virtuous knight who pierced the demon's heart before it could draw breath to perform the act. Acathla turned to stone, as demons sometimes do, and was buried where neither man nor demon would be wont to look. Unless of course they're putting up low rent housing."
- ―Angelus[src]
Acathla was a demon that was once sent to bring about the end of the world. In May, 1998, Angelus tried to awaken it so it would consume the world into hell. The ritual was successful, opening a vortex, but Buffy Summers killed the newly re-ensouled Angel to close it again.
Before having been first defeated, Acathla had been served by an acolyte whose name was Lucius Temple.
