TV's broodiest Angel is getting a new enemy this fall.

Keith Szarabajka will join the cast of The WB's "Angel" (the "Buffy The Vampire Slayer spin-off) as Holtz, a vampire slayer, zap2it.com reports.

Holtz is a character from Angel's blood-sucking past, with a well developed hatred for vampires -- especially Angel.

"He was a decent family man," David Greenwalt, the executive producer of "Angel", said about the new character, "but he also became a fearless vampire killer. He particularly hunted Angel and Darla across half of Europe in the late 1700s, and they reciprocated by eating his wife and children, because they thought that would be funny."

Holtz was eventually told by a demon that he wouldn't be able to kill Angel, so he was put to sleep until the show returns this fall.

Szarabajka's acting credits include the '80s series "The Equalizer" and Stephen King's "Golden Years".

"Angel" returns to TV-land with new episodes on Sept. 24.
