Winfred Burklen Fred for short a brilliant young woman who was studying to be a physicist when she vanished from a Library in 1996. She was reading a book at the time that opens portals to the dimension Pylea and she was sucked into it. She became a slave "cow" for many years to a demon in Pylea shovelling demon poo as Cordelia put it. She eventually escaped from their clutches disabling the collar that applies short sharp shocks to any "cow" when they do not do as they are told.
Angel encounters her after she is recaptured by Constable Narwek and she is put to death, Angel does not realise that this is the ritual and offers to do this. When he realises this he saves her and hides in the outback of Pylea in a cave that Fred has been living in for some time. There are scribblings on the wall Angel realises these are the language to open the portals. Fred assures him that it doesn't work but Angel is not so sure.
She is very strange after living in Pylea for so many years one wonders whether it has sent her maybe a little mad, she however helps Angel and after Wesley works out that she can in fact open the portal back to LA she returns with them.
Fred is to be a regular next season on Angel as her story progresses I will update this page.
