Two Gods From Hell

[white avenger]

With the mass migration from IDW to Dark Horse by all of Angel's characters, this occurred to me. Do you think that there might have been some sort of connection between Illyria and Glory back in the long, long, LONG gone bygone days? The general of the Knights Of Byzantium said back in Buffy's Season 5 that there were three hell gods who were allies, until one of their number (Glory) went insane. At that point the other two conspired and banished Glory from her kingdom, sending her to Buffy's dimension, where she would have to live out eternity unless she could recover the Key and use it to return home. So. Do you think that Illyria might actually be one of those other two gods, who might have, in turn, been betrayed by the third god (who maybe became the First Evil) and locked away in her sarcophagus until Knox released her?

It is an interesting and i suppose logical theory but i don't think Joss intended that to be the case. Personally i don't think there is a connection but there is no reason why there can't be.

The only reason I dislike this theory is that it was quite clearly established that Glory was extradimensional but Illyria is most definitely from this dimension. She was a Godking of Earth... so it's unlikely she would be part of a triumverate of Gods from another dimension.
