Watchers might be thin on the ground after season seven, but having run a game all about them (by setting it in parallel with Buffy rather than the then current year 2003) I have to include one really.

As a manuscript conservator at the University of York, Henry Davis has seen some odd things in his time, but nothing had entirely prepared him for facing vampires attacking a symposium on depictions of the apocalypse, being recruited into an occult intelligence network, or attempting to share this information with a teenage American with the power to hit monsters very hard. He tries not to seem too uncertain around his charge and her friends.
