Jasmine was a once higher being who manipulated herself into human form, using Cordelia and Connor as her parents. A seemingly beautiful woman, Jasmine gave those who came in contact with her a feeling of complete peace and serenity. She had the ability to control the minds and hearts of her ’subjects’. In order to sustain herself she had to feed on the people who worshipped her, by devouring them whole. Whilst devouring people she gave off a vibrant green light, and extended tentacles to engulf her victims, absorbing them within her own flesh. With each human she consumed, her body becomes stronger and less susceptible to harm.
When Fred was touched with Jasmine’s blood, and saw her in her true form - a maggot-ridden manifestation. Fred managed to infect her friends with Jasmine’s blood so they could see the truth and the group set about stopping Jasmine from taking over the minds of the world’s population. Jasmine’s goal was end to war, disease, and poverty in the world but the price was too high for Angel Investigations - the loss of personal choice by the human race.
They discovered that her true name was her weakness. Angel found and defeated the Keeper of the Name, who spoke the name out loud, causing Jasmine’s subjects to see her in her true form, thus ending world peace. Jasmine was killed by Connor.

Sure Angel isn’t exactly the most uplifting show there is, but I found season 4 to be completely depressing… I know Jasmine wasn’t really good, but I’m not really sure if the gang made the right choice. And when she loses her powers and runs around asking for people to love her again, I was so sorry for her… There was this note of sadness in her voice… Then there’s the whole Connor deal, and Angel giving him up to assure he gets a happy future… =,( It’s just too much.
