Angel is not interested in sympathy or pity, however, and is already mentally unstable and vengeful due to his loss, in behaviors that akin to that of his soulless alter-ego Angelus and Holtz's.
Sahjhan is revealed to have been a demon knight who had been made non-corporeal by an ancient curse hundreds of years ago, and who is now able to wander through time at will.
When Sahjhan uncovered a prophecy that he would be killed by ‘the one sired by a vampire with a soul’ he brought vampire hunter and Angel's old nemesis Daniel Holtz to the 21st century to kill Angel, Darla and the baby.
In the final confrontation, Angel makes Sahjhan corporeal once again to fight him, but discovers that he is more physically powerful than any of them had anticipated.
Filled with fury and rage, Angel screams that he will never forgive his former friend, and that he'll kill him for stealing his son.
