Giles as the Big Bad

[dragonyphoenix]

Based on the creepiness of Giles looking over Buffy's shoulder (he's in way too close!) in that early episode as the Bronze, I've been drawn into wondering what kind of Big Bad S1 Giles would be. At first I was thinking a Giles/Ethan thing where they'd never run into Eghyon (yeah, I can't spell demon names), but that would lose that whole scene and the idea that he's Buffy's Watcher. So, Watcher Giles as the Big Bad. I'm probably going to have to work on this as I go for a walk tomorrow. It's much easier to think while I'm walking for some odd reason. Not a vampire because he can get into places without invites. Could he be a demon and the Council not know? I was thinking he could just be after the Hellmouth as a power source but that either sounds sort of dull or just not like Giles.

Yes, Hellmouth and Glove aren't the same thing, but going after either feels like the same thing to me. I want more of a background for why Giles would go bad. I need more than power for powers sake.
