Hank was Buffy and Dawn’s elusive father. Divorced from Joyce Summers, he became increasingly distant towards Buffy (for example, standing her up on her birthday in 3.12 Helpless). Hank failed to attend Joyce’s funeral or contact his daughters after their mother died. Buffy mentioned he had run off with his secretary to Spain. We see Hank twice in Buffy’s hallucinations in 5.21 The Weight Of The World and 6.17 Normal Again.

I don’t like him. I started watching Buffy right after my parents got divorced and I didn’t really have any friends whose parents weren’t together and I freaked out and thought that my dad was gonna run away to Spain and my mom would die and he wouldn’t call me. Which is a scary thought cause I was like 11.

You can hear him arguing with Joyce over the telephone in Becoming (Part 1)
