	Movies - Tro-Clon

In the television series Angel
, the Tro-Clon is a "confluence of events" which would have great consequences of the destiny of mankind. Its arrival is announced in the Nyazian Scrolls.

It is initially assumed that the Tro-Clon is a single event or an individual, though it is soon revealed to be, in fact, a confluence of events that seemingly culminate in Season 4 of the show. The true extent of the Tro-Clon is never truly explained or shown.

The Tro-Clon's true nature is never fully revealed on Angel (usage of the term falls out of use after the third season), though it is commonly accepted to be the master plan of Jasmine, a rogue member of The Powers That Be, which allowed her to appear on Earth and conquer it.

According to translations made by Wesley, the Tro-Clon is a confluence of events leading to the purification or ruination of mankind, or even both, as the word describing the Tro-Clon meant "purification" in Aramaic, "ruination" in ancient Greek and both words in the lost Ga-shundi language. Jasmine´s plan was to bring peace to mankind, effetively purifying it from hatred and conflict, yet her plan also involved stripping mankind of its free will, which could be interpreted as ruin for mankind.

Accoring to Fred's calculations, the Tro-Clon began at the moment in which Daniel Holtz, a vampire hunter from the mid to late XVIII century and an old enemy of Angelus and Darla, is reawakaned after spending more than two hundred years in suspended animation by the demon Sahjhan. Hours later, Angel's son, Connor, though meant to "never be born" came into the world thanks to Darla's sacrifice, which was foretold by the prophecy:

"... for surely in that time, when the sky opens and the city weeps, there will be no birth, just death" - Nyazian Scrolls

Another passage of the Nyazian Scrolls also foretold the death of Sahjhan at the hands of Connor. This portion of the prophecy would prompt Sahjhan to rewrite the prophecy, removing all reference to him, and bring Holtz to the present:

"The one sired by the vampire with a soul shall grow to manhood and kill Sahjhan" - Original text of the Nyazian Scrolls

Thanks to Sahjhan's tampering, this text was replaced with the following passage:

"The father will kill the son" - Rewritten text of the Nyazian Scrolls

Sahjhan's tampering of the prophecy, and some "portents" caused by Wolfram & Hart at Sahjhan's behest, would also turn out to be integral in the coming of Jasmine, as these lead Wesley to kidnap Connor. The kidnapping ultimately caused Connor to be taken to Quor Toth, a hellish dimension in which seventeen years would pass as only some weeks passed in this dimension. Thus Connor returned to Earth as a teenager, now capable of fathering a body in which Jasmine could pour her essence and manifest her powers.

Meanwhile, Cordelia was manipulated by the demon Skip, a mercenary working for Jasmine, into a path that led her to ascend to a higher realm, from which she came back to Earth, now possessed by Jasmine. Jasmine remained trapped within an amnesic Cordelia until her memories where released through a spell, which also awakaned Jasmine and put her in control of Cordelia's body. While in possession of Cordelia, Jasmine seduced Connor, who fathered a body in which Jasmine poured herself. Following her birth, Jasmine would set out to conquer mankind in order to save it from war, famine and disease.

Jasmine would eventually be defeated by Angel and later killed by Connor. Wolfram & Hart offered Angel control of the firm's Los Angeles branch. He initially, but ultimately accepted in order to give a now suicidal Connor a new life through a reality alteration spell, which was triggered by Connor's death at his father's hands. Months later, Connor would eventually kill Sahjhan, an event that would've been impossible had Connor's life not been altered, which in turn happened thanks to Angel accepting Wolfram & Hart's offer.
