Its hard am racking my brain here, maybe hes a Robot ? It could even have something to do with wolfram and hart but thats me just being crazyfaced x
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before (probably), but what about Hank Summers, Buffy's father? He's always been a major absence in her life ever since she got called out to become the next Slayer (see "Becoming pt 1 or 2"). Buffy has been so wrapped up in her own dealings all this time, to get too caught up in her father not being there. He wasn't there for Buffy's latter birthdays, he wasn't even there for Joyce's death and he never even mentioned to contact Buffy after he presumably heard Sunnydale got destroyed?
I realise it's a bit far fetched, but what else does the Whedonverse stand for these days? Think about it. Maybe Hank was part of something bigger, something neither Buffy or Joyce knew about. And it has come to my understanding that Hank and Joyce split up moments after Buffy got her first call. It would finally address something that has been bothering me for years while watching Buffy. Hank's absence. He has been 'gone' for quite awhile so alot could've happend to him in the meantime. Plus, I've always found that "he ran off with his secretary to Spain' excuse way too lame for the Whedonverse.
Joss put clever lines in the comic saying Twilight knew Buffy, and his first intentions were not to hurt her but simply to talk. He also mentioned in an interview somewhere, that Twilight would hit Buffy close to home. The betrayal from the most unexpected person in her life. So it is someone close to her, yet it would come as a complete surprise. It's not such a bad bet. Besides, Buffy has major daddy-issues so I'd be delighted to see how this thing turns out once finally addressed.
If Hank were to be Twilight, I'm not yet sure what exactly his motives would be. But I'm sure he'd be part of something bigger all this time. Who knows? Whatever the case, he shouldn't be ruled out I think.
Someone actually mentioned to me it might be Lorne. But that's reaching.
