William became a Vamp in 1880 & since built a widely-feared famous repuatation for being evil & ensuing violence. Earning his nickname from torturing victims with railroad spikes, he went on to kill 2 Slayers. Having no fear, Spike travelled to Sunnydale in 1997 to battle his 3rd. Only he didn't know he would lose several kittens in a poker game, get a microchip implanted in his head, fall head over heels in love with Buffy, & become a good guy. WTF Man?! Destroy the Sith, not join them! #Guycuk
