Trapped in the body of an eight year old boy called Collin, The Anointed
One (Andrew J. Ferchland) turns up on the scene to become The Master's

from their ashes The Anointed shall arise''.
Since his plans to kill Buffy keep going awry, The Master is delighted

The Anointed One in the ways of tackling Slayers and together they
form a formidable foe for the relatively inexperienced Buffy. If
the prophecies in the Codex are accurate, their partnership will
inevitably result in her death...
