Personality
Describe:
Glory is a bitch of the highest order and proud of it. Being a Hell God she is powerful and delights in reminding people of that fact. She's conceited and self-centered. Glory treats most people with contempt. Thinking everyone is beneath her, including her fellow Hell Gods. Glory is spoiled and prone to throw fits and temper tantrums when things don't go her way. She also has a penchant for lashing out at people on a whim whether they deserve it or not.
Likes:
- Clothes and Shoes
- Mimosas (Champagne and Orange Juice)
- Bubble Baths
- Being all powerful
Dislikes:
- Pesky Humans that get in her way
- The two Hell Gods she once ruled with who had her banished to earth.
- When things don't go her way.
“Fatal Flaw”: She can't see outside herself, thus she doesn't see the strengths in others.
History
Glory is a god from a hell dimension, over which she ruled alongside two other deities; she was the most powerful of the three. Afraid that Glory would take full control of their dimension, the other two, began a war against her; Glory lost the war and was banished into the earthly dimension, where she was forced to share a body with a child named Ben, who was created solely to hold her. Meanwhile Dagon created a Sphere to weaken Glory, the sphere became known as the Dagon Sphere.
Banishment to the earth realm:
She soon began to gain control over Ben for short periods of time, taking the form of a vain, self-centered human female who possessed superhuman strength but lacked many of her other powers. A magical "amnesia" spell keeps humans from learning that Glory and Ben are one and the same, even if she transforms right in front of them, although since the spell does not affect non-humans, Spike can know that Glory and Ben are the same entity. However, as Ben and Glory's personalities begin to merge more and more, the magical ruse weakens until, in the end, the whole gang is able to see through it.
Maintaining her power:
In order to maintain her sanity and power, Glory feeds off other humans by a process that Buffy and her friends refer to as "brain-sucking." She inserts her fingers into the victim's head, absorbing the energies that bind the victim's mind. The humans that she "devours" in this way become incoherent and mentally unstable; Glory's arrival in Sunnydale is followed by an inexplicable increase in the number of mental patients.
Finding a Way Back:
Glory needed a key to open the portal back to her dimension, and unfortunately if she opened the portal it would swallow the earth up into her hell dimension. But she didn’t care, she wanted back home. Glory’s goal was to find the key, but the monks had hidden the key and were protected by the Dagon sphere. In her quest to find the key, is when she has her run in with the Slayer, Buffy Summers.
At War With Buffy:
Buffy attacks Glory with everything she has: Willow's magic spell draws on the goddess' stamina, the Dagon Sphere lowers Glory's strength, Buffy’s identical robot twin (the "Buffybot"), Olaf's Hammer (with which Buffy beats Glory literally to pulp), and eventually a wrecking ball, commandeered by Xander. Meanwhile, Spike, Giles, and Anya attack her minions. However, the final spell that will open the dimensions has already been started by Doc, unsuccessfully confronted by Spike, cutting Dawn with a knife and making her bleed. Ultimately, after killing Doc and saying goodbye to her sister, Buffy jumps into the portal that is opening between dimensions, resulting in its closure and her own death.
The Death of Ben and Glory:
Glory is left significantly weakened, losing her hold on this reality, and returning to the form and mind of Ben. Giles knows that Glory will eventually return and get her revenge unless Ben is killed, so he suffocates him. As Ben dies, so does Glory.
Glory's Return:
However, the story does not end there. One of the other Hell Gods realized that they needed Glory and her power. As Giles killed Ben thinking that would also kill Glory, Glory was actually transported out of Ben's body and back to her hell dimension. Glory was still left with the memories of what happened to her in earth’s realm and was not happy about it. She wanted revenge, so she set about devising a plan to pay a little visit back to good old Earth and see about finding some slayers to take some vengeance out on. This time, Glory was back to full power and not hampered by the human vessel Ben that was designed to contain her.
