The Watchers
Each Slayer
has a watcher, for the watchers prepare and train each slayer for the world she is to face. Like slayers it is a calling and
are usually told from an early age of the occupation they are to face. There is also a Watcher’s Council where each
watcher is trained and is the centre where watchers, potential watchers and the slayer are kept in touch.

Watcher. Not a lot is known about Sam Zabuto only that he is a highly respected watcher based in a Caribbean Island that strongly
