Parker Abrams was a UC Sunnydale student dorming in Kresge Hall. After he met Buffy Summers she became interested in him, and some weeks afterwards the two had sex, Buffy's first intimate relationship since Angel. While Buffy sought to pursue a relationship with him, Parker had only been interested in a one-night stand and soon moved over to a new girl. Buffy was initially depressed but while under the influence of Black Frost she hit him. A short time after the incident, Forrest Gates asked him about Buffy; Parker's comments resulted in his being punched in the face by Riley Finn.
Parker appears in the future visited by Buffy in the "Lost Slayer" quadrilogy, where he has become a human servant of the Vampire King, working to collect human meals for the vampires in exchange for his own freedom, the recently-escaped Buffy interrogating Parker for information about this new world after she finds him in Sunnydale while trying to learn what has happened.
