Watcher

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

A Watcher is a member of the Watchers' Council, devoted to tracking and combating malevolent supernatural entities (and particularly vampires), primarily by locating individuals with the talents required to fight such beings and win. More specifically, Watchers are assigned to train and guide Slayers, girls that are part of a succession of mythically powered young women who are destined to face the forces of darkness. Upon a Slayer's demise, her powers are transferred unto a new girl, who is then assigned a new Watcher herself.
