Trio, The

The Trio is a fictional organization featured in the UPN television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. They first appeared as a group in the fourth episode of season six titled, "Flooded".

History
The Trio were based out of Sunnydale, California and were comprised of three former students of Sunnydale High School. Their membership included Warren Meers, Jonathan Levinson, and Andrew Wells. The Trio, who were all social outcasts, headquartered themselves in the basement of Warren's parents' house. Their goal was to become real-life super-villains and take control of the town. Naturally, this put them at odds with pesky do-gooders such as Buffy Summers and her friends in the Scooby Gang. As they were using the Meers' residence as their base of operations, Warren became the de facto leader of the group. Andrew Wells proved to be a vital member through his ability to summon and control demons; a trait he picked up from his older brother, Tucker Wells.

The Trio summoned a M'Fashnik demon and had it rob a bank for them, but this plot was foiled by Buffy Summers, who happened to be in the bank at the time, and defeated the demon.

Warren's activities in The Trio ultimately led to the breakdown of the group. He used a cerebral dampener, which Andrew helped in the development of, to mentally control his ex-girlfriend, Katrina Silber, whom he turned into a sex slave. When Katrina later accused Warren of raping her, he killed her, and coerced Andrew into helping him cover up the crime by summoning three Rwasundi demons.

The Trio then robbed an amusement park, but Warren escaped, leaving Andrew and Jonathan to take the blame. Both of the boys were arrested and put in jail. While they were in prison, Warren Meers murdered Tara Maclay - a wiccan and girlfriend of fellow witch Willo Rosenberg. Driven to avenge her girlfriend's death, she sought to kill all three members of The Trio. She skinned Warren alive, and attacked Andrew and Jonathan in prison. The Scoobies prevented Willow from slaughtering them, and Andrew and Jonathan fled the country for Mexico.
