Spike, also known as William the Bloody, first appeared on Buffy the Vampire Slayer in Season 2 with the fraile, ill and insane Drusilla. He earned his nickname becuase of his habbit of torturing people with railroad spikes. For Valentines day Spike chose to show his love by giving Drusilla a gold heart necklace, which she loved. But she liked Angelus's gift better: a real human heart for her to eat. Spike was very jealous at that moment! His undying love for Drusilla caused him to cure her by sacrafising his own health when the ritual backfired and Angel was freed. Eventually he and Drusilla left Sunnydale.

Then later on Spike returned by himself because he and Drusilla were having a fight. He solved his love problems and left Sunnydale again to go back to Drusilla.

Now, in Season 4, Spike has returned for good because Drusilla ran off with a fungus demon. He has a chip implanted in his head by the Innitiative to stop him from being able to hurt anyone but other demons.

Now Spike lives in Sunnydale again in his own private 'apartment' in one of Sunnydale's many graveyards.

Although Spike is not even 200 years old yet, he has fought and killed two Slayers.

This is Spike before he was a vampire, I guess that we could call him William at this point of time.
