![]() Angel even admits severing ties with them was to keep them from a path they couldn't handle, having no desire to do anything worse than fire them, such as forcing them to participate in punishing the guilty and getting them killed by Wolfram & Hart, Darla, Drusilla, or in general. He starts off by giving the characters advice and encouragement, but as time goes on, he becomes more directly involved in the cases of Angel Investigations-even asking for Angel's help to avert the end of the world when Angel had severed ties with the rest of the group after Darla's resurrection-and his many contacts in Los Angeles' magical underworld prove useful. Lorne is reluctant at times to help Angel and the other heroes of the series, preferring to maintain a neutral stance and simply provide a peaceful place for all demons, but his essential goodness usually wins out over his reticence. To most who visit the bar, Lorne is simply called "The Host."

In 1996, Lorne happened upon a dimensional portal and was sucked through it (his future friend Winifred Burkle was sucked into Pylea through that same portal). Lorne refused to train his innate mystical senses to learn to hunt beasts and is considered the shame of his clan. He also enjoyed beauty, art, and even music, which was difficult, considering his world had no music. Lorne would rather flirt with the female demons and enjoy life than train to be a fighter. He is a gentle soul who does not share his kin's prejudice against humans (or "cows" as they are called in his world). ![]() Lorne, as he prefers to be called, was not like his fellow Deathwok clan demons, who were bloodthirsty "champions" constantly undertaking quests against evil. Lorne was born as Krevlornswath of the Deathwok Clan in the demonic dimension of Pylea. The character was portrayed by Andy Hallett. Krevlornswath of the Deathwok Clan, more commonly called, " Lorne" or " The Host," is a fictional character created by David Greenwalt and Joss Whedon for the television series Angel.
