Lorne - Friendly green-skinned demon (Andy Hallett)
with stubby red horns protruding from his forehead who dresses in very colorful,
natty wardrobes on
the occult drama ANGEL/WB/1999-2004.
Lorne comes from an alternative
dimension called Pylea. where he is known as Krevlorneswath of the Deathwok
clan. But on planet earth good old "Krev" is just "Lorne," the owner of a
Los Angeles-based bar known as Caritas, where friendly demons hang out and
participate in the establishment's karaoke entertainment.
Lorne
can sing like an angel and sustain a note for like, forever. Sometimes,
Lorne's uses his voice as a weapon against other demons. On Lorne's home world,
nobody sings, so it was wise for him to leave and share his pipes with people
who appreciated his vocal talents.
At club Caritas, when anyone gets up to sing,
Lorne has the ability to see into their "Aura" to sense a person's problems and
possible destiny. This mind-reading ability comes in handy for local vampire
private eye named Angel (David Boreanaz) who visited the bar to get Lorne's
help.
Sometimes, Angel sang for Lorne so he could "divine" needed information,
but the experience of hearing Angel's perform off-key renditions of Barry Manilow's "Mandy" to a karaoke beat was excruciating to say the least. But, it
had to be done so Lorne could come through with the INTEL. Eventually, Lorne
became a permanent member of the Angel Investigations team.
TRIVIA NOTE: Allen
Francis Doyle (Glenn Quinn) was a psychic demon (half-demon on his mother's
side) who saw people in trouble before the fact. His visions aided Angel in
saving many innocent lives. Doyle sacrificed his life to destroy a deadly
machine constructed to harm other demons like himself. Before he died, he passed
his ability to see "visions of impending evil" onto Cordelia Chase (Charisma
Carpenter), a member of Angel Investigations (with whom Doyle had a crush).
Finally, one demon to lookout for is Sahjhan (Jack Conley), a tall, ugly and
evil time-traveling demon who is bent on killing Angel. He has unsuccessfully
enlisted the aid of an 18th century vampire hunter, Daniel Holtz (Keith
Szarabajka) and Lilah Morgan (Stephanie Romanov), a top lawyer with the demonic
law firm of Wolfram and Hart.
