English spinster, splendid cook, very reluctant vampire (It Was Not Her Fault), close friend of Richard Wilkins III and Spike.
At the end of Season Six, with Spike off on his African adventure, Agnes returned to England to avoid the Apocalypse, bringing with her several adopted vampire children she was trying to raise.......
