Professor Maggie Walsh is a fictional character in the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Professor Maggie Walsh is introduced in season 4, as Buffy's psychology professor at the University of California, Sunnydale, but is later revealed as the leader of the government-controlled Initiative, a military project intent on capturing, studying, and modifying the behavior of various demons.
Maggie maintains a close relationship with Riley Finn (Marc Blucas), who is her favorite soldier; she appears to think of him as a son.
Attempting to finish off Project 314, begun by Walsh, Adam has his workers manufacturing more creatures like himself; part demon, human, and machine combined.
He said that she was a scientist, and that she was going to be doing research and eventually, she might hatch an evil plot, but her front was being a psychology teacher.
Finding out that Buffy is the Slayer is a kind of a gas, and it's nervous-making and exciting to have good people on her team; she's like a president - she wants a great cabinet underneath her.
I think she'd like to fashion the world in her image, but Buffy puts a wrench in the works".
