In the Buffyverse, Josephus du Lac was a theologian and mathematician. He belonged to a religious sect that was excommunicated by the Vatican at the beginning of the nineteenth century. He invented the du Lac cross, which was used to decipher hidden meanings and encrypted texts, and wrote the du Lac manuscripts which contained evil rituals and spells.
In 2.07 Lie To Me, Spike got one of his vampires to steal the du Lac manuscript from the school library. This became crucial in the episode 2.09 What’s My Line? (Part One). We discovered then that the manuscript included a way in which Spike can cure Drusilla’s weakness.
The name du Lac may be a reference to the Anne Rice character Louis from her Vampire Chronicles. His full name is Louis de Pont du Lac.
