Who is the girl mentioned in issue 1?

[Entiel]

i have been looking all over to find out who is the girl that W&H killed and made Angel take his stand...some say it's Fred because she is the only girl whose death was caused by W&H...others believe it's Cordy and I'm guessing that if it's true maybe Angel found out something about her death we still don't know..some believe it's Buffy(in my opinion that's stupid) bu that's all i found...so what d you believe??

[Clem Rocks]

I say Fred

If he found out something about Cordy, it would have been on the show as the reason he took the stand. And how the hell(A)(Sorry, couldn't resist XD) could it be Buffy? o_O

It's about Fred.

He said that her death opened his eyes and led him to taking a stand. It was Cordy's death that gave him a vision about the Black Thorne and that started his secret plans. Then again, W&H didn't have a hand in her death... unless, indeed, something about her death hasn't been revealed yet. That could be the case, as there is some speculation (nothing confirmed, so this isn't a spoiler) that she's coming back.

As for Fred, well did her death change any of Angel's plans? Presumably not, because he based them on the vision he got. Or perhaps he didn't know what to do with the vision until after Fred had died? In any case, W&H wasn't directly responsible for her death either. Of course, the corruption in characters such as Gunn and that Doctor are in large part due to W&H, but I don't know if you can hold them responsible. Certainly, the corruption in Knox seems to have come from another source, as he was on Illyria's side and her side only.

All-in-all, I think we can't be sure about this yet. Perhaps it will be revealed in a later issue. Or if Brian Lynch is doing another Q&A session on his MySpace blog, you can ask him.

I thought buffy at first, but now I am thinking its fred, it makes the most sense for it to be her. I keep hoping that buffy and angel will get back together, and that it would be her, but joss is not going to do the crossover, and it just pisses me off that they can't just work it out.

Did anyone think it odd. That TSP didnt have some idea that an Old One was going to be reborn. Its there Job to know everything. Odds are they knew and wanted to deal Angel a huge blow to make him fall in line more

I don't think that the Senior Partners knew about Illyria because clearly they didn't want her after her resurrection and they were a little afraid of her messing up with their apocalypse.that's why Hamilton insisted on killing her on the first place...also Clem Rocks it's true that they would have mentioned i in the show if it there was something more about Cordy's death but remember that the hole W&H killed the girl appeared on the comic book so maybe at that time they had not thought about it but know with the possibilities that the comic book offers(maybe bringing her back :D?) they added that fact..it won't be the first time they think of something new during the process won't it?

Maybe he blames WR&H because it was one of their employees(Knox) that killed Fred?

but remember that the hole W&H killed the girl appeared on the comic book so maybe at that time they had not thought about it but know with the possibilities that the comic book offers(maybe bringing her back :D?) they added that fact..it won't be the first time they think of something new during the process won't it?

What the hell..... ?

[Clem Rocks]

Apparently it's already been confirmed that it's Fred

[RockManic]

Yeah, didn't Brian actually say that it was Fred he was referring to? It will probably be a comment at Whedonesque or his MySpace Q&A if he did.
