]] BIOGRAPHY Merrick was a member of the Watchers' Council and the one who informed Buffy that she was The Chosen One. He became her first Watcher, as Buffy had not been identified as a Potential Slayer. Merrick's attitude towards his charge was sarcastic, tough and stern, but he was truly concerned for her safety, as he had already trained two Slayers in the past, only to lose them to Lothos, a powerful vampire. Fearing that Lothos would turn him to get to the new Slayer, Merrick chose to commit suicide instead. Despite the short time under his training, Buffy managed to slay Lothos and his minions.
