Pike as seen in Viva Las Buffy

Biography

A mutual dislike formed between LA High School students Pike and Buffy Summers. However, after the death of the Slayer's Watcher Merrick while attempting to slay the vampire king Lothos, Pike helped her to take out Lothos' vampires. Although Pike became attracted to Buffy, no serious relationship had time to form.

After Buffy was expelled from LA, she and Pike patrolled the streets for vampires at night. The two visited Las Vegas in an attempt to remove a vampire nest. Pike left Buffy, believing that the Slayer could not afford friends or loved ones. Buffy went back to L.A., continuing her slayer duties, as Pike left.

He briefly returned to Sunnydale in Sins of the Father

Around 2002 he showed up again in Notes from the Underground to help Buffy defeat a fascist demon group, the Scourge.

Canonical issues

The film is not considered Buffyverse canon built by the later television series. The film stands by itself as largely separate. Pike was played by Luke Perry in the film.

Buffy comics are not usually considered by fans as canon. However they all require an approval from Joss Whedon's and/or his office. Christopher Golden did use Joss Whedon's original script for the 'Buffy movie', and tied this comic series closely to continuity established by the television show. For example, the burning down of the gym takes place which is mentioned several times on the show. For this reason, some fans argue that The Origin comic deserves a place in canon, whilst Viva Las Buffy may be considered less canonical, and Sins of the Father even less canonical.

PLEASE DISCUSS CHARACTER ADDITTIONS/REMOVALS BEFORE MAKING CHANGES AT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Buffyverse#Buffyverse-box_character_inclusions)

This box cannot/shouldn't be including every Buffyverse character. Some suggested guidelines are:

"The people who appeared in the opening credits (Scooby Gang & Fang Gang/FG) appear in the box, and the most important villains/friends who had a significant emotional impact on multiple of those opening credits characters - as long as they have a significant episode count, and preferably if they appear in three or more seasons."
