Xander Harris
Alexander Lavelle "Xander" Harris is a fictional character created for the action-horror/fantasy television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997–2003). He was developed by Joss Whedon and portrayed throughout the television series by Nicholas Brendon and in two episodes by his twin brother, Kelly Donovan. He was conceived as an everyman and a male character for series heroine Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) to interact with, and to provide comic relief in the series. Xander is one of several friends of Buffy who assist her in saving the world against numerous supernatural events that plague Sunnydale, California, a town built over a doorway to hell.
Xander is based in part on Whedon himself, particularly in his high school years; as such, he is often the most geeky as well as witty and verbose of Buffy's characters. The character's overriding arc through the series has been his struggle towards maturity and earning the respect of others. In the canonical comic book continuation of the series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight (2007–2011), Xander comes to achieve these goals in becoming the tactical leader of a global army of Vampire Slayers alongside Buffy.

Quotes:
[first lines]::Male Vampire: [after a few seconds of ominous growling behind a hooded girl] Dammit! Not a scream. Not even a whimper. I must be losing my touch.::Buffy: [turns around to face the vampire] You're about to lose more than your touch... like your face!Willow: You know, you may be the slayer, the girl destined to fight off the forces of darkness and all, but... maybe you shouldn't slay out alone. You know, we're your friends and we're here to help you, Buffy.::Buffy: Thanks, Willow. I appreciate it.::Willow: And it's not like we can't handle it. Giles is your watcher, I'm a witch, and Xander's the... the...::Xander: the... Ron Weasley? Come on, no really, I bring a lot to the table besides comic relief. I bring donuts... and plus I play a key role in battle. I distract.::Buffy: And by distract, you mean scream and shriek? Seriously, you really shouldn't leap into the fray like that.::Willow: I think you said he should be fray-adjacent.::Buffy: Yes, fray-adjacent. And by adjacent I mean as fray away from the fight as possible.
Spike: In the meantime, let's get randy.::Harmony: Who's Randy? [laughs] I'm sorry. I just melt every time you do that accent. Austrian, right? G'day, mate. Let's throw another shrimp on the barbie. But, if Shrimp is with Barbie, then who's with Ken?::Spike: Oh bugger, you really are a stupid bint.
