Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Ranking Every Major Death Worst To Best

Though she would go on to be revived and play a major role in the moody Buffy spin-off Angel, in the first season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Darla was nothing more than an evil vampire - another minor obstacle for the Slayer to overcome.

The first vampire seen in the show, Darla was soon revealed to be the sire of Angel, sharing with him a long and winding story. In order to prove his goodness to Buffy, Angel killed Darla during a fight at the Bronze. An epic moment, Darla's first death served as a key turning point in Angel's story, and its aftermath would be explored in the spin-off.
