However, the final episodes of Season Two shed light on his
background.
His full name is Krevlorneswath (nicknamed Lorne) of the
Deathwok Clan.
He is from a different dimension on the rural, primitive world
 of Pylea. On Pylea demons rule over their human slaves called
 "Cows". Lorne's pacifistic nature,desiring to use his gift to
 help people rather than track prey,and his unique ability to
hear and sing music set him apart from his combative based
world.

opened from LA by Winifred and wound up in Los Angeles.
After giving Angel numerous hints and insights, the Host
became a full-fledged member of the squad.
Now he reluctantly follows the crew through their dangerous
 tasks, offering his unique opinions, or a song, along the way.
