APPENDIX B: Images of William the Bloody

1. Sketch--1880's--around the time of William the Bloody's siring. Whether this sketch is of William the Bloody before he was sired cannot be ascertained. It was found in the effects William the Bloody left behind him in his hasty exit from Sunnydale in 1997.

2. Photograph--printed newspaper photograph, time of the Boxer rebellion, China. Clipped from the newspaper and found between the pages of the Watcher's Diary of Sir Nicholas Brisby, Watcher to Chen-Ma.

3. Photograph--print, aged, Boxer Rebellion, found likewise in Sir Nicholas Brisby's Diary. Both of these photographs show William the Bloody with his constant companion Drusilla.

4. Studio Photograph--1940's; well-preserved, found after his sudden decease among the files of the California "Pachuco" fashion photographer, Carlson Struthers (Los Angeles). If one mentally erases the moustache this is clearly an image of William the Bloody. (Thanks to Darkwaif)

5. Photograph, retouched, "pop-art" style, 1950's--without the sunglasses, this also is clearly an image of William the Bloody. This image was part of the "American Dreaming" exhibition at Black Gallery, Manhattan, 1982.

6. Photograph, uncertain era--while clearly a photograph of William the Bloody and Drusilla, I cannot date it with any degree of accuracy. If this is the same leather jacket/duster he took as a trophy from Nikki Wood, it is post-1977, and has been artificially aged. I see no reason to believe, however, that William the Bloody has only owned one leather jacket, and this photograph could equally be from the 1930's-1950's, and naturally aged. This photograph, like the sketch (whose frame matches this photograph's), was found among William the Bloody's deserted effects in Sunnydale.

7. Pop-art, 1970's, Manhattan (printed)--I hypothesize with a fair degree of certainty that William the Bloody was the model for this punk pop-art figure, from a poster for Dead Wilson's, a short-lived Manhattan punk group (1978-1979).

8. 1990's, Sunnydale, photograph--this photograph, like #1 and #6, was found among William the Bloody's deserted effects in Sunnydale. Watcher Rupert Giles confirmed that it corresponded to William the Bloody's most recent appearance. (Thanks to the BBC)
