* PossessingADeadBody: This is explicitly said to be what a vampire is. You die, and an evil demon takes over your body. There is a remnant of the human's personality in the vampire, though (to varying degrees), especially since on its own the demon part is one of the more bestial, non-sapient species of demon, so the memories left in the human brain are really all there is to form an actual personality with. But without the human soul, they have no real grasp of right and wrong and are drawn to the evil side; at best, they can fight with the good guys because of an emotional attachment to specific people (pre-soul Spike) or avoid drinking unwilling victims so they won't be staked (Harmony and the other vampires following her rules). That's unless their soul gets restored by magic, as with Angel and Spike.

*** Recurring female vampires Drusilla and Harmony are either repeatedly spared or not pursued by the heroes in a way that no other vampire in the show benefits from. This is somewhat understandable for Harmony who is an IneffectualSympatheticVillain when she tries to be evil, and goes on to become a reality star who encourages other vampires not to feed from unwilling victims for [[PragmaticVillainy pragmatism's sake]]. Not so much for Drusilla who has killed numerous people, including the Slayer Kendra.
