The Master's bloodline

from the Buffyverse Wiki - a free Buffy and Angel fan community

This article covers the confirmed bloodline of The Master. Not all of the vampires in this bloodline belonged to the Order of Aurelius, as Angel refused to live under the Order's strict codes.

• Darla was the one that is seen drinking from Sarah, Daniel Holtz's daughter, in the flashbacks of Quickening. However, Darla also states that Angel was the only vampire she has ever sired.
• Penn's siring year comes from the shooting script of the Angel episode "Somnambulist."
• Besides Holden Webster, Spike sired a number of vampires while under the First Evil's influence. The African-American vampire that Spike stakes in "Sleeper" is called "Charlotte" in the shooting script.
