What librarian is charged with helping Buffy, the Vampire Slayer fight ghouls, zombies, and other creatures of the night?
Rupert Giles (played by Anthony Stewart Head), is “The Watcher”, a California high school librarian chosen to identify and guide the single person per generation who can slay vampires with impunity. He is Buffy’s mentor, trainer, and researcher. See Sonja Marie’s The Giles’ Appreciation Society Panters Home Page, http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/7728/gaspers.html , for quotes, links and more. “He’s like Super Librarian. Everyone forgets, Willow, that knowledge is the ultimate weapon.” “Ah, I love the smell of a desperate librarian in the morning.” – Principal Snyder to Giles.
