Biography
Character History Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. Glory was a goddess from a hell dimension, over which she ruled, with two other gods. She soon became the most powerful of the three. Afraid that she would take control of their world, the other two began a war against her; Glory lost the war and was banished into our dimension,(earth) where she was forced to share a body with a child named Ben, created especially to hold her. She soon began to gain control over Ben for short periods of time, taking the form of a human female which possessed superhuman strength, but lacked many of Glory's other powers. A magical "amnesia" spell kept humans from learning that Glory and Ben were one and the same, even if she transformed right in front of them. Charlie Weber as Ben. ...
Amnesia (or amnaesia in Commonwealth English) is a condition in which memory is disturbed. ...
Glory came to Sunnydale looking for "the Key", a mystical item that would break down the walls between all dimensions, allowing Glorificus to return to reign in her own dimension. Use of the Key would also cause the destruction of all other dimensions, including the one Buffy and her friends inhabit. Glory was not aware of what form the Key had taken. Glory surrounded herself with loyal minions, and began the quest to locate the key. Sunnydale, California is the fictional suburban setting for the popular television drama Buffy the Vampire Slayer. ...
In order to maintain her sanity and power, Glory fed off of other humans by a process that Buffy and her friends referred to as "brain-sucking." She inserts her fingers into the victims head, taking the power from the victim's mind. The humans that she "devoured" in this way became incoherent and mentally unstable; Glory's arrival in Sunnydale was followed by an inexplicable increase in the number of mental patients. One of her unfortunate victims was Willow's girlfriend, Tara. Willow Danielle Rosenberg (born in 1980 in Sunnydale, California) is a fictional character created by Joss Whedon for the cult television program, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. ...

For her part, Buffy was not initially aware of the Key's nature either. It was eventually revealed that Buffy's sister Dawn was the Key, in human form. Glory soon discovered this fact, and managed to kidnap Dawn. Dawn Summers (born in September 2000 in Czech Republic) is a fictional character created by Joss Whedon for the cult television program, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. ...
The Key could only be used at a certain time, and as that time drew near, the power that separated Glory from Ben dissolved. They still inhabited Ben's body separately, but their memories and personalities began to blur together.
Buffy attacked Glory with everything she had: the Dagon Sphere, the Hammer of Olaf, her identical robot twin (the "Buffybot"), and eventually a wrecking ball, commandeered by Xander. However, the final spell that would invoke the Key had already been started. Ultimately, Buffy jumped into the portal that was opening between dimensions, resulting in its closure and her own death. The Buffybot is a character in the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, appearing in the last few episodes of season 5 and the first two of season 6. ...

Glory was left weakened, losing her hold on this reality, and returned to the form and mind of Ben. Giles knew that Glory would eventually return and get her revenge unless Ben was killed, so he suffocated him. As Ben died, so did Glory. Rupert Giles is a fictional character created by Joss Whedon for the television program, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. ...
Powers & Abilities It is revealed that Glory's powers were reduced when she was imprisoned in human form, however the powers that remained were: - Near-invulnerability. Only a Troll God's hammer was able to do any lasting damage to her.
- Superhuman strength far beyond demons or humans.
- Super speed.
- The ability to drain the mental energy of humans to maintain her own mental strength. Victims were left in an insane state and appeared to be psychically linked to Glory from that point own.
Additionally, there was a mystical shroud cast to prevent people from learning that she and Ben were the same person. The origins of this shroud are not made clear, though it is assumed that it was the work of her servents.
The extent of her true powers as a Hell god were never revealed, though it is suggested that they were considerable, even for a god.
