PERSONALITY: Whether a human, demon, or angel, Courtney Sloane remains a ruthlessly goal-oriented creature with a keen mind for strategy. She excels in working within hierarchical systems even with her willingness to blur lines and bend (but never break to the point of getting in trouble) rules when a situation requires it. She considers her elevation to the rank of angel to be the finest proof of God's infinite mercy, but interestingly displays very little mercy, herself.

AFFILIATION: Good.
FIRST SCENE: Place Your Bets / So There.
BACKGROUND: The daughter of your average human con artist, Courtney had the dubious distinction to be a first born child. So when her mother made a deal with the infamous Wolfram & Hart to get out of debt and jail time, thirteen year old Courtney's soul was the bargaining chip. She took the whole 'sorry, kid, you've been sold to pure evil's law firm' thing reasonably well, and dutifully used any and all personal skills to the service of the corporation that owned her. But just because Wolfram & Hart technically owned her, didn't mean Courtney had given up all ambition for herself. Even as a mortal human, Courtney was ever reaching upwards in all things, and had vague plans for advancement (most of which center around getting herself a demon spawn that she can use the way her own mother used her).

Ultimately, it was her boss's abandonment of the firm (and of her) that catapaulted Courtney into true power. She managed to convince the Senior Partners to convert her into a demon and allow her to take over the liaison position. For months, she wreaked havoc down on the citizens of Seattle, making plenty of enemies and only one true ally. Eventually, this caught up with her and she was painfully maneuvered out of power on the forces of evil.

This, however, lead her to seek out a former business contact: the angel Gabriel. Giving the armies of heaven vital information on the enemy, Courtney was able to elevate herself to angelic status, but had done so with every intention of the situation being only temporary. But as Courtney knows, perhaps better than anyone, circumstances have a way of changing even the best laid plans.

Courtney is still an angel but a ruthless and efficient sort of one. Despite all of her holiness and noble intentions it's easy to see the ex-Wolfram liaison in her methods. Deals with this angel feel suspiciously like deals with the devil. But, she does have a notable soft spot for the kids and those cases where free will is violated-- yeah, don't ever mess with a kid or someone's free will where Courtney can see. She will smite a bitch. She appears especially smite-happy these days, given earth's current dire predicament after the successful apocalypse and the death of Buffy Summers.
