After he had his soul removed for a second time, Angel was exceptionally referred again by the Angel Investigations team as the historical "Angelus," as he had memories of what didn't exist in the world anymore,[90][176] and "Angel [was] gone. Once again, he did not listen and remained fixed in his belief that he was "saving" the world. Angelus expressed no interest in the Order of Aurelius' plan to destroy the human world and bring about the return of the Old Ones, as he preferred the hedonistic pleasures of the world above.

He used various enchantments to keep up the appearance that he was still a vampire and heal the worst of his injuries.

Despite this setback and Giles' initial displeasure of being brought back by him under these circumstances, he was undeterred and insisted they would find a way to fix this as well. Angel realized that a vampire might be controlling the Lorophage through hypnosis. He disclosed that he would work Giles' soul rather than his body; while Faith still seemed skeptical of his plan, she agreed to help him. The trio formed Angel Investigations, a private detective agency whose mission statement was to "help the helpless."

[50], Psychological manipulation: While soulless, he displayed considerable skill in manipulating others' emotional states, using psychological tactics to attack both the Scooby Gang and Angel Investigations both times when Angel lost his soul, though the most notable example was his driving Drusilla insane. Because time flowed differently in other dimensions, he had experienced a century of torment while only a few months had passed on Earth. As a frustrated Spike left the two (being the only one who actually remembered Buffy's connection to Dawn), Angel forced his attention to return to bringing Giles back. Around the same time that audiences found out his true identity is when the Buffy cast and crew knew what to do with Angel's character. After the submarine suffered damage from a depth charge, Angel was forced to sire a mortally wounded Ensign, Sam Lawson, as he was the only person who was able to repair the damage, and while Angel didn't care about the mission, he needed it to succeed to get the US government to leave him alone, and he needed the submarine so he would not get trapped on the ocean floor. Spike ranted to a still deranged Angel about his own insecurities in regards to his relationship with Buffy. She turned him down, but when the man showed up looking for him, she and Angel were forced to fight him off; in a moment of rage she cut off the man's hand, and in remorse, fled the scene. As they fought the demons, the creatures continuously regenerated; according to Angel, people had suspected this to be an ability of the demons themselves, but Angel realized afterward that they had been restored because of the Crown's influence.

Buffy went to Angel and they had a sword fight while Spike escaped with Drusilla. [90] While soulless, Angel did indeed overcome the Beast and realized that the Beast was a mere "flunky" serving an even more powerful evil; the Beast he knew was only interested in smashing and slaughter, and it was unlikely that it would have become smarter in the years since his initial encounter with him.[91].

In 1753, at the age of twenty-six, after a habitual night of drunken debauchery and failed attempts to seduce the family's only maidservant, Liam and his father got into a heated argument; enraged by his son's chronically reckless behavior, his father declared that Liam was wasting his life, and slapped him across the face. [61] A few months later, they were joined by lifelong demon fighter Charles Gunn after Angel resolved a vampire-human street conflict that was turning in favor of the former.[62]. He jokingly expressed that if he had set anyone up but Harmony, he would have felt sleazy, and then left to get breakfast with Faith. When he fed off the body of a shop keeper in a moment of weakness in the 1970s, he resigned himself to a life of homelessness, and was not stirred out of it until Whistler showed him Buffy Summers approximately twenty years later. Spike was shocked at her phrasing and tried to remind her she knew Dawn. Angel was kept in chains, but he eventually broke out and to help Buffy against the violent Pete.

However, his true goal was to keep the anti-Slayer forces distracted with his supposed "master plan," thus allowing him to coordinate the anti-Slayer movement and limit the potential damage that might result had these factions struck independently, while at the same time give Buffy a concrete threat to fight against, keeping her focused and ready for the challenges that lay ahead, while also guiding her into a position where she would somehow acquire powers similar to his. This was made most obvious through his interactions with Connor, Cordelia, and Buffy. [14][175][80][43][104], In 2003, when all reference to the Beast was erased from Earth, Angel was also affected, but his soulless past was not, for this identity technically did not exist anymore when the spell was cast.

[125] Following this, Angel had been reduced to an apparently catatonic state, with Faith taking care of him in the London flat that Giles left to her as she feels that she was the only person who would not judge Angel for his actions as Twilight due to her past experience with redemption.[21]. [87] It was complicated further by the return of an amnesiac Cordelia, who preferred to stay with Connor because he told her the truth while the others hid the truth from her. When Amy Madison approached him for help to resurrect Warren, Angel initially contemplated accepting the request due to his role in Warren's death, but when Amy revealed that her true plan was to lure Willow to London so that she could get revenge, Angel instead confronted her with Nadira, whose innate sympathy with the magic of Magic Town allowed her to turn Amy's traps back on herself and turn Amy into a rat.
