Minor characters of Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Encyclopedia : M : MI : MIN : Minor characters of Buffy the Vampire Slayer
The following are fictional characters in the U.S. television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Kathy Newman
Kathy Newman (played by Dagney Kerr) appears in the first two episodes of season four. She is Buffy's first roommate at her UC-Sunnydale campus dormitory. In the first episode of season four, she is portrayed as an overly-eager and annoyingly cheery teenage girl, who wanted "a stable non-smoker" for a roommate.In the second episode of season 4, Kathy and Buffy begin to have serious disagreements. Kathy plays Cher's "Believe" on repeat loop, is extremely meticulous in labeling everything (right down to her eggs), and is more of a neat freak than Buffy can handle. Buffy begins to act uncharacteristically hostile towards Kathy, and at first her friends believe it is simply due to Buffy's upbringing as an only child. Later it is revealed that Kathy is in fact a demon who had fled her own dimension to go to college. Her clan was about to locate her, so she performed a series of spells to mask her presence from them--spells that temporarily removed Buffy's soul. In the end, Buffy reverses the spell and Kathy is transported back to her demon dimension. Willow, who has gone through her own roommate problems, moves in with Buffy afterwards.
(Note: Buffy remains an only child during this mini-arc as the arrival of Dawn, which will change characters' memories, has not happened yet.)
Tucker Wells
Tucker Wells (played by Brad Kane aka Caleb Kane) summons demonic dogs to attack the Prom in the season three episode "The Prom"). He is best known as the brother of Andrew Wells. As Andrew's identity is constantly forgotten, Tucker serves as a handy point of reference. Although Tucker only appears in one episode of the show, Brad Kane actually returned to the show in the fourth season episode "Superstar" as the singing voice for Jonathan Levinson.Balthazar
Balthazar is a heavily overweight demon played by Christian Clemenson. He appears in the episode "Bad Girls" looking for his amulet which will make him very powerful. His minions are a group of vampires called "El Eliminati".The Cheese Man
The Cheese Man appeared in last episode of season four, "Restless" and also later, for only a second in Andrew and Jonathan's nightmare in the season seven episode "Storyteller". He is a guy talking about, wearing, and holding (at one point shaking) cheese in the gang's dreams. The Cheese Man was played by David Wells (actor).Parker Abrams
main article: Parker AbramsParker Abrams was a student introduced in the fourth season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the episode "Living Conditions". Seductive but shallow and generally considered a jerk, he managed to get Buffy to sleep with him (in the episode "The Harsh Light of Day"), but afterwards was completely distant from her, upsetting Buffy greatly. However, she made her negative feelings toward him clear in the episode "Beer Bad", where, under the influence of enchanted beer, she knocked him unconscious. This is in spite of the fact that, by this point, he had finally decided to apologise to her for his treatment of her, as she had earlier fantasised.
Parker appeared in the following episodes: "Living Conditions", "The Harsh Light of Day", "Fear, Itself", "Beer Bad" and "The Initiative".
Parker Abrams was played by Adam Kaufman.
Olaf
Olaf was a gigantic troll character introduced in the BtVS season five episode Triangle. It is revealed that he was once a human being in a relationship with Anya (who at the time was human and called Aud.) He cheated on her and so she transformed him into a troll as punishment for his behaviour (this is how she got the job as a vengence demon.) He later appears in human form in a flashback sequence in the season seven episode Selfless. Olaf's hammer was used by Buffy herself during her battle against Glory in the episode The Gift.Olaf was played by Abraham Benrubi.
