Being born to the active Slayer of the time made Robin, and his childhood, unique, as there is no record of any other slayer having children. His first years were spent out on patrol with his mother Nikki, where he watched (and helped) her fight the notorious vampire Spike amongst others. When, in 1977, Nikki became the second slayer that Spike killed , Robin was raised and trained by her watcher and grew up with only one thought on his mind; to seek out and exact revenge on the monster that killed his mother, taking out as many vampires as he could in the process.

As a skilled vampire hunter, Robin finds himself right at home when he takes the position of Principal at the newly re-opened (and re-built) Sunnydale High School. Here he not only finds plenty of vampiric action, but the current active slayer, Buffy Summers and the vampire he has been seeking all this time.

Discovering that Buffy is the slayer comes as less of a shock to him as discovering that she is working with his, now re-ensouled, mother's murderer. But this does not hinder his lust for revenge and, with the help of Giles, he plots to distract Buffy so that he can lure Spike to his den and exact his revenge. His plan fails of course and all he manages to do is help Spike comes to terms with his troubled past and alienate Buffy from both him and her former watcher.

Prior to this little adventure, Robin hands over to Buffy a bag given him by his mother which was supposed to be handed to slayers down the line. The bag holds the secrets to the making of the First Slayer.

With the First Evil's army becoming larger and stronger, Buffy welcomes Robin's help in the final battle, just before which Robin gets a little slayer action of his own when Faith comes to town and the two share an 'enthused' if not earth-moving moment of passion.

Robin holds his own in Sunnydale's final battle, fighting side by side with Giles and, despite a small setback, lives to fulfill hs promise to Faith and surprise her.

Kit was a normal high school stundent with an interest in skipping classes until her first day at the newly opened Sunnydale High School. Skipping classes on this day means bumping into zombies and her classmate Dawn finds her hiding in the toilets. Things go from bad to worse as together they encounter more zombies and find themselves falling into the basement where they run into Carlos, who was also skipping classes that day. With the help fo Dawn's new present, a mobile phone, they find themselves being rescued and, better than that, actually heading towards class.

Carlos was a pretty normal high school kid, with little interest in school and plenty in footbal. But sneaking into the basement for a crafty cigarette on his first day at Sunnydale High was a wrong move. Meeting with some zombies he finds himself running like a girl right into the path of classmates Dawn and Kit and some more zombies. Lucky for him, Dawn has mobile contact with her cool older sister and he soon finds himself rescued and on his way to the safety of classes.

When Willow returns to Sunnydale after her recuperation in England, she is so scared of rejection that she unknowingly causes herself to becime invisible. Her vulnerability and aloneness atracts Gnarl, who is living in a cave in Sunnydale. Luckily Buffy finds Gnarl and Willow in time and kills the demon before he can do any permanent damage.
