Rupert Giles the Watcher

The smell of old musty old books. Books that hold the keys to the world’s greatest mystery. Books that would tickle the mind. You have now entered the Sunydale High School Library. Rupert Giles (Anthony Stuart Head) is the very cautious librarian at Sunydale High. He used to work in a British musuem and he brought his "references" with him. When Buffy runs into the librarian, he knew immedily that she’s the Chosen one. But, his way of telling her is aliitle blunt and freaky. But, she accepts her destiny.
Willow and Xander help Giles research the latest terrors of the school. "Research Boy comes through with the Knowledge." Xander said in the episode "The Invisible Girl," after he came through with a bit of information. Buffy, Xander, Willow, and Giles always hang out in the library and have small meetings. You can always find them in the library.
Giles really hates computers. Call it a Computer phobia. He claims that he hates them because they don’t smell. He loves the smell of books (old musty smell) because they smell of knowledge and many years of it. And computers don’t have that smell. Giles comes from many generations of watchers. His biggest fear is Buffy dieing because he didn’t train her enough. (see the episode, Nightmares) But, he has mention to Buffy that she is doing pretty good so far. Better than the other slayers in the past. Giles has quite a problem with the generation gap. He never understands what Buffy, Willow, and Xander are talking about sometimes when they are discussing the latest or useing slang terms. He sometimes forgets his aduience and use big words. "I think I speak for everyone here when I say... huh?" Buffy said to Giles in the episode "The Invisble Girl." Over all, he’s a cool! And he’s really understanding when Buffy is having a problem trying to have a social life, but never being able to because she’s a slayer.
Every Watcher need a Slayer! Giles is the Watcher.
