Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Ranking Every Major Death Worst To Best
6. Glory/Ben
One of the Scooby Gang's best-ever enemies, Glory was a joy to watch during the show's fifth season, despite her narcissistic and evil intentions. At once sassy, arrogant and cruel, she was Buffy's most powerful adversary, and was made even harder to keep up with since she shared her body with Ben, a local, innocent doctor who formed a bond with Buffy.
In Glory's final moments, as she prepares to open a demon dimension by sacrificing Dawn, she fights Buffy, who manages to get the upper hand on the god and beats her down with a large hammer. Glory then reverts back to Ben, and Buffy tells him to leave town and never come back.
As the Slayer rushes off to save her sister, Giles appears and decides to smother Ben to death, killing both him and Glory, knowing that Buffy could never kill an innocent man. Giles does what Buffy never could, and makes sure that Glory would never return.
