Prue Halliwell

Prudence "Prue" Halliwell is a fictional character from the television series Charmed. Prue is depicted as one of the featured leads as she fulfills her role as a witch and, more specifically, a Charmed One one of the most powerful witches of all time...

The eldest Halliwell sister and was part of the original Charmed Ones. Her powers were telekinesis and later astral projection. She was often considered the most powerful of the Charmed Ones; after Prue's death, Paige felt insecure about her own ability, believing she wasn't measuring up to Prue's legacy. After their mother died when they were young, Prue helped Penny (Grams) raise Piper and Phoebe, in the process becoming responsible and protective of her sisters, a trait that caused Phoebe and Prue to clash in earlier seasons. At the conclusion of Season 3, Prue was killed by a demon known as Shax

Charmed

who was sent by the Source of All Evil to assassinate a doctor the Charmed Ones were protecting. During the show, Prue held four jobs, the most notable being working at Buckland's Auction House, which she had for the majority of the seasons she was on the show. Prue's most notable romantic relationship is perhaps Inspector Andy Trudeau, childhood friend of the Halliwell sisters and first of many law-enforcement assistants of the Charmed Ones. He was killed at the end of Season 1, causing Prue intense grief and guilt. Prue's last job was protecting the innocent from evil demons. It is implied that, like Grams, Prue occasionally helps her sisters from the afterlife by turning pages in the Book of Shadows. She is the namesake of Piper and Phoebe's children, Prudence and Prue. Prue died in the third season finale

Charmed (season 3)

The third season of Charmed, an American supernatural drama television series, began airing on September 5, 2000 on The WB. Airing on Thursdays at 9 P.M., the season consisted of 22 episodes and concluded its airing on May 17, 2001....

Piper Halliwell

One of the featured leads, Piper is introduced in the series as a witch and, more specifically, a Charmed One one of the most powerful witches of all time. The character was portrayed by Holly Marie Combs throughout the...

Began the series as the middle sister and became the oldest after Prue's death. In the beginning, Piper's power was the ability to "freeze" people and objects, but advanced in the third season and she gained the power of molecular combustion – causing explosions. Piper was shy and submissive when Charmed first aired, but has gradually developed a much more assertive personality, especially after Prue's death. Piper usually had to keep the calm between Prue and Phoebe as the middle sister, which was ironically reflected in Phoebe when she was forced to play mediator at the times Piper and Paige butted heads. Piper is also identified as the sister who longs most for a "normal" life although she accepts her duties. She struggled with Prue's death the most and had trouble in accepting both Prue's death and Paige. Piper eventually moved on and has since built a strong bond with Paige as her sister. Initially Piper worked as a chef at Quake, a local restaurant before leaving Quake and opening up her own club, P3. However, her love for cooking never died and she continued to be a great cook for family and at times, friends. Piper had always wanted to open her own restaurant but her life just caught up with her so fast that she never really could find the right moment to open a restaurant. Her hands were already too full with magical issues, demons and warlocks trying to kill her husband, sons, and sisters, being wanted by the evil side for her powers, and having to deal with personal losses, especially the death of Prue. Still, Piper does open her own restaurant in the future, as is shown in the epilogue in the series finale. While she has had the least amount of romantic interests of the four female leads, Piper has also had the longest-running relationship, a forbidden love with Whitelighter Leo Wyatt. Despite many conflicts, Piper finally married Leo on a third attempt to do so, and gave birth to three children; Wyatt, Chris and Melinda Halliwell. Piper became a popular fan favorite during the series run.

Phoebe Halliwell

For the full article, see Phoebe Halliwell

Phoebe Halliwell

Phoebe Halliwell is a fictional character from the television series Charmed. One of the featured leads, Phoebe is introduced in the series as a witch and, more specifically, a Charmed One one of the most powerful witches of all time. The character was portrayed by Lori Rom in the unaired pilot,...

The youngest known Halliwell sister when the show premiered. Her first power was of premonition. Frustrated by her passive powers, she trained in martial arts to be able to fight demons, which has remained her main offense. Later, Phoebe developed the powers of levitation and empathy. Phoebe has often had to struggle with responsibility in using her powers, and is the sister most attuned to turning evil as a result of being the only sister born in the Manor. Phoebe's active powers were stripped in the sixth season as punishment for abusing them, but she has earned back her power of premonition. It is possible that she may have also earned back her powers of levitation and empathy yet this is not shown throughout the course of the series – perhaps Phoebe earns them back in the future. Phoebe was quite free-spirited and wild in the first three seasons. She initially had trouble in relating to Prue, whose serious and sensible personality contrasted her own. Their relationship had been further strained when Prue's then-fiance flirted with Phoebe, then lied about it to Prue and claimed Phoebe had flirted with him. Phoebe and Prue eventually reconciled. Having originally dropped out of college, Phoebe later returns to school to complete her degree and earns a job as the San Francisco advice columnist "Ask Phoebe", which remained her career until the series conclusion. Phoebe's love-life has been the wildest of the sisters. Her longest relationship (on-screen) was with Cole Turner, a half-demon that she married and divorced when she discovered he had secretly absorbed the Source of All Evil. Phoebe was at one point pregnant with his child. She vanquished Cole twice; the first time he gained incredible power and resurrected himself to pursue Phoebe, who'd already moved on. By the end of Charmed, Phoebe is seen to have married a cupid named Coop and have three daughters. In addition to her Ask Phoebe career, Phoebe (in the future) authored two books on the subject of love.

Paige Matthews

For the full article, see Paige Matthews

Paige Matthews

Paige Matthews is a fictional character from the television series Charmed. One of the featured leads, Paige is introduced at the start of season four as the fourth Halliwell sister and youngest Charmed One one of the most powerful witches of all time. The character was portrayed by Rose McGowan...

The daughter of an illicit affair between the Halliwell sisters' mother and her Whitelighter, Sam Wilder. Paige was probably the first half witch, half-Whitelighter ever, or at least, she was assumed as such until the introduction of Simon Marks in Season 8. Her existence was concealed, and she was adopted by parents who died in a car accident. She was unaware of her magical history until the funeral of Prue, eventually joining Piper and Phoebe as the "new" youngest sister in Season 4 and moving into the Manor. She is ambitious, outspoken and stands firmly in what she believes in, beginning the series as a social worker before moving to full-time witch, to Headmistress of Magic School, and finally, after handing over the leadership of Magic School to Leo, she concentrates on being a witch and a Whitelighter, and not to mention later on, a mom. Paige initially had the power of telekinetic orbing – due to the Whitelighter in her, her power, which was supposed to be telekinesis, evolved to accommodate her Whitelighter side, thus expressing itself as a form of orbing. Initially, Paige has to call out the name of the particular object that she wishes to move but later on in the series, as her powers grew, there has been instances when she could move an object without saying out its name. Also, Paige could later on orb people towards her and also away from her. Paige also had the ability to orb right from the beginning – thus unlike her sisters, Paige was the only sister who had two powers to begin with. Perhaps due to her half-witch status, her basic powers never really advanced to form new powers, as was the case with Prue, who developed astral projection. However, Paige remains a formidable witch as she still has the ability to orb. Also, in the final season of the series, she gains the ability to heal, a power that belongs to Whitelighters that was triggered when the love of her life, Henry Mitchell, was shot. Her other powers include glamouring and the ability to sense her sisters. Both abilities are from her Whitelighter side. Paige has had her fair share of flings with men and certain strong relationships, most notably of which would probably be the relationships she had with Richard Montana and Kyle Brody (Kyle was later killed by the Avatars but he was resurrected as a Whitelighter by the Elders). Ultimately however, she marries Henry and has twin daughters and a son with him.

Leo Wyatt

He becomes the father of Wyatt, Chris, and Melinda. Leo later became an Avatar, which gave him almost unlimited power, almost being until the collective is drained. Such powers include but is not limited to: altering reality, waves of fire, resurrection, and manipulation of time. According to Chris, Leo wasn't around very much in the future and Leo favored Wyatt over Chris. Leo and Piper had to split up when Leo became an Elder, but later on, Leo clipped his wings to be with his family again.

" Chris uses the cover of being a Whitelighter from the future, so he can alter history for the better (preventing Wyatt from turning evil). While he successfully gains the Charmed Ones' trust, Leo remained initially suspicious. Because he comes from the future he can't give anything away about the future, which may change the events of the present and subsequently the future. At certain moments he becomes very vague saying things such as "You're about to find out" and describes events without describing them in intricate detail. As he comes from a future where evil Wyatt has taken over the world, he admits that he has come from the future to stop the demon or demons that turned Wyatt evil. He and Leo have serious issues with Leo not believing Chris is a good guy since he stranded him in Valhalla where he was trapped for 5 weeks and Chris hating Leo for not being there when he was growing up-in the evil alternate future. Chris is another hybrid: half Whitelighter, half witch. He has telekinesis, orbing (both himself and other objects), potion making, spell casting, and others.

Cole Turner

Cole Turner is a fictional character on the WB television series Charmed, portrayed by series regular Julian McMahon between seasons three and five. McMahon returned for a guest appearance in the show's seventh season, for its 150th episode. Charmed is a series which focuses on three good witches,...

Cole is half-human and half-demon by blood, and better known to the demonic world for over a hundred years as the legendary demonic assassin Belthazor. Cole is dispatched by the Source of all Evil himself to kill the Charmed Ones only to fall in love with then-youngest sister Phoebe, renounce evil and become a close ally of the Charmed Ones. Though Cole eventually completely rids himself of his demonic nature, and marries Phoebe in the fourth season, he never gains the trust of new youngest sister Paige. Furthermore, when married to Phoebe, Cole unknowingly receives the powers of the Source due to him consuming "the Hollo" in order to save Phoebe. This eventually back fires on him as the Source's powers become too much for him to handle, which leads to his demise when the Charmed Ones are forced to vanquish him. However, in Series Five he escapes "the Wasteland" due to him stealing vast amounts of powers off other damned demons, which enables him to force himself into the Charmed One's lives again. Moreover, Cole is viewed as a threat by the sister's due to his past blunders and never regains their trust. Although Cole attempts to dedicate his new life to being good, his bewildering love for Phoebe and her rejection of his love, drive him to the point of insanity which again results in his demise. Finally, Julian McMahon (Cole Turner) makes a guest appearance during Series Seven, he acts as a spiritual guide for Piper in order to survive a previously related attack and to find her lost love (Leo). Throughout the supernatural drama Charmed, Cole is a highly popular character whom brings excitement, drama and anxiety to the show.

Alphabetical character biographical listings

This section is a comprehensive list of major characters who are credited as co-stars, guest stars, or special guest stars over the course of the eight years the show was produced. It also lists major villains and allies which have a recurring role in the series. In general, non-repeating supporting cast members (meaning those normally credited only in the post-episode closing credits) are not listed here, unless they were promoted into a more prominent and important character or villain. Some ancestral figures which impact and influence plot formation are also listed here, as is the next generation (progeny) of the Charmed Ones, that were foreshadowed or shown in the series time travel themed episodes.

Ancestors of the Charmed Ones

Ancestors and family members of the charmed ones given historical background and a place in episode plots are: Priscilla Baxter, Victor Bennett, Pearl Rusell, Phoebe Bowen, Allen "Jack" Halliwell, Patricia Halliwell, Charlotte (of season three

Charmed (season 3)

's All Halliwell's Eve) Melinda Warren, and for Paige, Samuel Wilder

Ancestral background of the Halliwells

The Halliwell family are descendants of the Warren line of witches that started with Melinda Warren, daughter of Charlotte Warren in the 17th century. One of the things that have made the Charmed Ones and all witches in the line so strong is their bond as a family.

Some of the named ancestors of the Charmed Ones includes Beatrice Warren, who was described in the season seven episode "There's Something About Leo" as a:

Brianna Warren was another ancestor, said by the Book of Shadows as able to telekinetically move a sword (belonging to one of the Lords of War, Gabriel) "hundreds of miles", a feat which Prue Halliwell admitted she probably couldn't do.

In the episode Charmed and Dangerous, the Charmed Ones call on the power of their ancestors to defeat The Source of All Evil. The spell includes a list of matriarchs of the Warren line: Prudence, Patricia, Penelope, Melinda, Astrid, Helena, Laura, and Grace.

It was once mentioned by Patricia Halliwell

Patricia Halliwell

Patricia "Patty" Halliwell is a fictional character on the WB television series Charmed. Patty Halliwell is the mother of the "Charmed Ones" on the series. She is played by actress Finola Hughes.- Character's background :...

that Phoebe was named after her favorite aunt and it was possible that Penelope Halliwell nee Johnson (Grams) was not the only daughter of Gordon Johnson and P. Baxter. It is possible that there was a second daughter named Phoebe Johnson. Another theory is that this aunt could in fact have been one of Patty's first cousins twice removed, and therefore one of P. Baxter's cousins shown in the season 2 episode "Pardon My Past", who Patty affectionately referred to as "Aunt" Phoebe. However, equally as likely, Phoebe could have also been the name of another of Allen Halliwell's sisters, which would also make her Patty's biological aunt.

In season six's "Witchstock", Allen Halliwell mistakes Paige for his sister, Janice, making Janice Halliwell Patty's biological aunt and the Charmed Ones' great aunt.

In the series premiere, "Something Wicca This Way Comes", Piper states to Phoebe that they have "an aunt who's manic, a cousin who's a drunk, and a father who's invisible". Since there has never been a record of Patty having siblings, it is highly likely that the aforementioned aunt and cousin come from their father, Victor Bennett's, side of the family.

In season four's "Size Matters", Piper makes a mention to Leo of their "Great Aunt Sylvia" who collects hummels because they are easier to deal with than real people. It is unknown whether this great aunt is on the Halliwell side of the family or the Bennett side of the family.

In the second half of the season four premiere, "Charmed Again", Paige is seen speaking on the telephone to her "Uncle Dave" and also asks about her "Aunt Julie's" bad hip. While these are not blood relations, they are still part of Paige's family via her adoption by the Matthews, though it is unknown whether Dave and Julie are related to Mr. Matthews or Mrs. Matthews.

Avenger, Emma the

Emma (Heather Dawn): Emma Avenger (Emma, Emma the Avenger, or Emma Athame) has no last name in the episode script, so is designated here by her role, where the character took up demon hunting to avenge her demon-killed fiance using the carelessly lost Athame

Athame

An Athame or Athamé is a ceremonial dagger, with a double-edged blade and usually a black handle. It is the main ritual implement or magical tool among several used in the religion of Wicca, and is also used in various other neopagan witchcraft traditions. It is variously pronounced or...

(A magical dagger) belonging to her fiance's killer.

In a plot twist, Emma's beau was killed by Belthazor under a contract, who in his Cole persona is very sad for he cannot even recall what the man looked like, but acknowledges that the athame is his and that he in all likelihood had killed the man. Emma is possessed of great determination and true grit, for outside the ceremonial weapon's magic powers, she would have been defenseless against such, and she'd hunted them systematically for a year and a half according to the dialog in the episode "Black as Cole".

In a further ironic twist, Emma joins the over tasked Charmed Ones near the end of the epic battle going on in the attic between Cole-Belthazor and Demon Sykes just after Belthazor defeats Sykes, but having had to surrender to his demon side to be strong enough to defeat the same racial demon type, Sykes. After the fight, the enraged excited post-battle animalistic state of Cole-Belthazor to be out of control and appears to be a threat, even Phoebe, who interposes herself between the demon and her sisters.

Emma coming up behind from the stairway takes her timely vengeance then upon Belthazor, and hurls a potion Phoebe'd dropped downstairs, a power binding potion she'd prepared several episodes back onto the demons back. The potion, cast on Cole's demon half-side, drives him back into his human-Cole form, binds his magic (or demoness) and according to Phoebe, Emma had vanquished the demon that had killed her fiance.

at the Manor (which she may have most likely owned). (She mentions "giggle water" – a slang term for champagne – to her bartender.) She had a husband named Gordon Johnson, a mortal, and two cousins: P. Bowen and P. Russell, both of whom were also Warren family witches.

Unfortunately for her relationships with her cousins, P. Russell fell in love with an immortal warlock named Anton, so fell under the influence of evil, and as a result went after her cousins, P. Baxter and P. Bowen in a murderous way allied with Anton. In the midst of the battle, P. Russell was captured by her cousins and killed, part of the plot development experienced in part by Phoebe who is forced to live through the 1924's experiences of her cousin through development of her growing premonition abilities and empathetic senses in the second season episode Pardon My Past.

Penelope later describes Baxter as a "looker" and stated that her grand-daughter, Paige, bore a resemblance to her, which was ironic since Allen had described her as looking like his sister, Janice.

Glen and Paige never had a very serious romantic relationship because of his ongoing travels around the world; however, Paige trusts him implicitly with her life and is willing to share the Halliwell's secret and the existence of magic and evil with him. This becomes a major part of the plot in "A Knight to Remember" and the quasi-sequel episode "Trial by Magic" later in the fourth season.

In "Trial by Magic" he learns about magic and the Halliwell's witchcraft. Paige spontaneously invites him to stay with her when he arrives back from Australia. This causes tension for both Piper and Phoebe, because magical issues, factors, the comings and goings of demons, as well as Glen himself, are all now at risk. Left alone in the manor

The demon gives the Charmed Ones a one hour ultimatum or the collar will decapitate Glen. In time, he eventually marries Jessica, a girl he meets while climbing the Matterhorn in Switzerland.

One of the few innocents throughout the series who knows of the Charmed ones' magic powers and is okay with their wiccan ways, he joins Darryl Morris and his wife, Sheila, and later Paige's future husband, Henry Mitchell. In a later episode, "House Call", Glen tries to marry Jessica, but first he must deal with a bewitched Paige. While under a spell, Paige uses her powers to glamour into Jessica and stand in for the bride.

Although Glen does not physically appear in the series again after his season five engagement to Jessica, he is mentioned in the season eight premiere, "Still Charmed & Kicking", as the only (innocent) person to visit Paige's urn during the sisters' fake wake at the manor.

In the story it is told that Brody witnessed his parents' murder (by supernatural means) as a child and spent the majority of his life seeking vengeance against the beings he believed to be responsible for their deaths, whom he believed murdered them because they had the potion that killed Avatars. For the majority of his life, he believed those beings were the Avatars

Avatars (Charmed)

The Avatars are fictional characters in the WB television series Charmed.- Description :Avatars are an ancient group of magical beings who can bend the very fabric of time, space and reality. Their power is often described as the ability to manipulate time and space, through which they can reverse...

, an ancient supernatural race determined to end the battle between Good and Evil by imposing their own order on the world. Introduced to the series as the mysterious the "New Powers", or the "Coming Powers" which both demons and elders are worried about, the Avatars term is first used in the series by the Demon Shardon after capturing Brody while he questions him in the underworld. Agent Brody was left downstairs and charged to help the sisters in their attic battling Shardon from the safety of a magic circle so they first learn the name "Avatars" from Brody after they rescue him from the underworld.

Brody is an ordinary mortal armed only with an ancient potion that kills Avatars. His search for these beings leads him to the Charmed Ones; he helps keep their secret in exchange for their help. While Piper, Phoebe, Leo, and Darryl are wary of Brody's extreme methods, Paige overlooks his obsession as she falls in love with him. Despite being later convinced (with the help of Paige sponsored time travel to be observers at their death) that the Avatars were, in fact, not responsible for the death of his parents, Brody remained unconvinced of their motives, and consequently formed an alliance with the demon Zankou in an effort to stop the Avatars from success with their plan. Brody was killed while taking out the Avatar Beta, only to return as a Whitelighter to bid farewell to his beloved Paige. The Elders had decided to give him another chance due to his actions against the Avatars. Kyle Brody was the only victim of the Avatars reign not resurrected: the rest were resurrected when the Avatars were forced to rewind time and undo everything, but they were too weak to rewind it enough to bring him back. Before his death, Kyle finally got the revenge he was looking for in his parents murders: the leader of the demons was vanquished by Sarpedon and the other three were vanquished by Zankou in order to help convince Kyle to join him.

-like (Shelly likely got the idea from the much earlier mythos), then ennervated by the magic user/creator. Gammill was by one victim or by chance eventually cursed in the 1970s to appear as ugly on the outside as he is internally, forcing him to create a golem in his previous image to lure female victims to his lair. Once captured, Gamill's victims were shrunk, covered in clay and baked into hideous one of a kind figurines for his macabre one-of-a-kind special figurine collection, to which he is delighted to add witches. He was not the least daunted in finding himself accidentally pitted against the Charmed Ones, even cocky, and taunted Phoebe after she fell to his trickery. Gamill's method of murder was grisly but he was not an aggressive foe, primarily choosing to hide instead of fight, or at least to set a trap and let the Charmed Ones come to him. That does not say he was not dangerous, for he caught all three sisters and immobilized them in clay suits. They only escaped because of the delay imposed for his kiln to come up to the high temperatures needed to fire ceramics (temperatures greater than 1000 °F). By turning his own wand against him, and using a power of three spell Phoebe had written since she had nothing better to do while surrounded in clay, The Charmed Ones were able to vanquish him.

The first Cupid appeared in the writing and production of the Charmed universe during the second season in the episode "Heartbreak City", and was given no distinguishing name, but just called "Cupid". The character initially was shown going about his business of promoting romance with the sisters as supporting characters, but soon after a demon entered the plot he sought their help but was unwise and initially entered Halliwell manor magically in order to elicit the Charmed Ones aid and so was subsequently beat up by the sisters' who were as yet unaware of "good supernatural entities". This came about after a powerful Demon named Drasi stole Cupid's powerful ring and sets out to destroy all his recently influenced love matches which brings him back into the Halliwell Sisters' circle asking for help. But they initially repulse him, mistaking him for someone evil or a stalker, when he knows personal stuff he shouldn't. When the relationships of the Charmed Ones break, Cupid must convince the Halliwells to help him get his powerful artifact back before a world of Hate is created, which could result in him (Cupid) personally dying.

Piper Halliwell

While dating Piper, he notices the oddity of the girls' lives and often suspects that they are hiding something. Piper was attracted to Dan once he became their neighbor, because she felt that the relationship would be much less complicated than the on-again, off-again relationship she had with Leo.

However, Piper's sudden unexplained disappearances and avoidance of his questions drives Dan crazy and makes him feel insecure in their relationship. He also always feels threatened by Leo, because even though Piper does not see him often, he knew that they had been serious and that Piper still cares for him. Dan feels as though he is simply "geographically desirable" and that that is the basis of the entire relationship.

Piper finally breaks up with Dan after she realizes that despite loving Dan, she loves Leo more. Dan also becomes very suspicious of Leo and even asks his brother-in-law who works for the state department to check Leo's army records. When his brother-in-law discovers that Leo had been a soldier in World War II and had died in the war, Dan presents the information to Leo and finally to Piper. Dan moves away to Portland, Oregon

However later on the pair get closer, and he eventually reveals to her just how much he loves her.

Penelope Johnson born on June 23, 1931 and died March 5, 1998. A powerful and no-nonsense woman, she possessed the power of telekinesis and the skill with it to deflect or reflect many spells or powers used by evil adversaries and added a great many potions and spells to the Book of Shadows. She bound Prue, Piper, and Phoebe's powers temporarily when they were children to protect them from a warlock. After Patty died, Grams raised the three girls on her own and kept the secrets of their Charmed destiny and Paige's existence from them. She died of a heart attack six months before the events of the first season, but continues to watch over her grandchildren despite being dead (she's been overtly identified as one who flips the pages of the Book of Shadows in the early witch career years of the Charmed Ones, but Leo also set up some open pages to be found). "Women in our family keep their last name." became one of her mantra's as wiccan high priestess officiating at family ceremonies, and she became known both as someone with an earthy sexual appetite, but also one disdainful of men and of the need to keep them around.

During the early fifth season episode "Happily Ever After" baby Wyatt summoned her in corporeal form from the womb, and she was eventually eaten by the Big Bad Wolf and saved by Piper. During that episode she first met Paige and was able to make headway in establishing something of a relationship, during which she let out she'd periodically kept an eye on (spyed upon) the sisters, including Paige—"But never in private moments, if you know what I mean."

skills, and the power of empathy but later loses the latter two due to misusing them for personal gain. She forces a premonition so she can leave for a date and is caught on tape by Inspector Sheridan. It is possible that she earned back levitation and empathy. She is a romantic, and later becomes a successful columnist and author. Early on, she often had a turbulent relationship with her older sister, Prue; later she mediates between Piper and Paige. Her longest relationships are with Cole Turner

Cole Turner

(with whom she conceived her first child and only son) for over a year, and with Coop. In 2006, the Angel of Destiny marries Phoebe and Coop, as seen in the series finale, and they eventually have three daughters. She continues to work at the Bay Mirror and writes a book on finding love. She is called the weakest Charmed One by some demons (like the Source) because of her powers being the weakest out of the four. This is because her power is based more on emotions which isn't really as powerful as the rest of the charmed ones powers. She is rarely ever considered a threat to demons unless she is with her more powerful sisters.

In the early episode where Phoebe has a premonition of herself being burned at the stake, the three sisters travel to the future to try to save her, and in the process gain some insight to the extent of what their powers have the potential to grow to. Phoebe discovers she is on death row in the midst of a modern day witch-hunt that is the equivalent to the Salem Witch Trials, for killing a man (who murdered someone she loved) with her evolved powers. She hovered her hands over each side of her victims head and sent a blast of psychic energy through him, killing him instantly. Sadly she never ends up actually acquiring these powers later on in the series. The witch-hunt is led by a non-magical human who, earlier in the episode, Piper freezes after his dog uses their driveway as a restroom, and Prue moves the excrement underneath the foot he was stepping with. This sparks his initial hate for witches, which leads to his crusades. Fortunately, after Phoebe performs the ultimate act of selflessness, the sisters are able to travel back to their time, before their actions of what could be considered personal gain are performed, and resist the temptation to teach a lesson, ultimately averting the witch-hating future.

In the early episode where Phoebe has a premonition of herself being burned at the stake, the three sisters travel to the future to try to save her, and in the process gain some insight to the extent of what their powers have the potential to grow to. Prue demonstrates how powerful she could have become by accidentally blasting a hole through attic with an enormous and awe inspiring beam of energy that thwarts Piper's molecular combustion. Strong-willed, feisty and intelligent, she would often take charge of situations and has always been overprotective of her sisters, Piper and Phoebe. Having spent her childhood taking care of her two younger sisters after the death of their mother, she became responsible, with a fierce determination at whatever she did, including fighting demons. This sense of responsibility occasionally leads to clashes with the more free-willed Phoebe, however, the two grow closer as the series progresses. Though at times Prue lets pride dictate her way of handling things, she tries never to let her personal life interfere with her work life, though faced dismissal on one occasion having been necessarily absent to combat evil. It is assumed that if Prue had lived and Paige joined them to form "The Power of Four" they would have been more powerful then the original "Power of Three".It is also assumed that if Prue and Andy had lived till the end of the series, they would have probably married and would have given birth to three children also.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are described in the last book of the New Testament of the Bible, called the Book of Revelation of Jesus Christ to Saint John the Evangelist at 6:1-8. The chapter tells of a "'book'/'scroll' in God's right hand that is sealed with seven seals"...

, (Death, Famine, Strife, and War):The Four Horsemen in the Charmed Universe of "Apocalypse Not" (2000 AD) were servants of The Source of All Evil employed to give the evil side a final victory at the correctly calculated time of the new Millennium. They were represented as non-demon humans clothed in business black attire by actors wearing capes or ties colored respectively as Death—Black, Famine—Yellow, Strife—Green and War—Blood Red.

In preparing for their coup over good, they ('Strife') ran across Piper and Leo, who investigating, ended up pitting the Charmed Ones power or three against their special evil magic, and the two opposed magic forces mixed and melded causing unwanted consequences for both sides, part of the effects of which trapped Prue in a dimensional vortex for most of the episode. Unwilling to let the world end on evil's timetable, Piper and Phoebe refused to cast a spell before the scheduled time of the correctly calculated New Millennium instant, which would have restored the four's ability to end history and given evil a victory. His plans to surprise good having failed, the Source thriftily reabsorbed the powers he'd given the four, doing them in—and opening the vortex himself to collect the powers of War trapped in the vortex with Prue. Phoebe realized there was a window of opportunity to try for Prue, who was then released by the girls prepared spell—now implemented too late for evils needs, maintaining a universe with a happy ending.

Ice Cream Man, The

In the guise of a man selling ice cream, this is a mortal agent of good responsible for capturing demonic children to help diminish the unchecked growth of evil in the world. To lure his prey, the Ice Cream Man plays the Devil's Chord, which is a series of notes that when sounded together specifically attract demon kids, all but unthinkably like moths to a flame. Once lured, the Ice Cream Man then sucks the demon youngsters inside the vehicle and through a dimensional gateway, where the children find themselves on a magical playground, and trapped in that world, the young demons must face ultimately The Nothing, which periodically appears making their eventual capture numerically certain.

He prefers to move on and keep his distance from the magic-containing macrocosm, and concurrently ends his relationship with Paige.

No doubt about it, Morris looks after the Charmed Ones, he knows their secret and so does his wife throughout six seasons, while also appearing in the first. He is always sacrificing the strict interpretation of his job requirements to pull the strings helping them out against forensic evidence and circumstantial linkages.

In the second half of the sixth season, thanks to the advent of Inspector Sheridan, Darryl was very close to death after the Cleaners decided to hide magic and put Darryl at fault putting him into an alternate history timeline where he ends on death row facing execution without further appeal under duress of a ticking clock. After such a near-death experience and last minute reprieve, Darryl decided he didn't want to be involved with the Charmed Ones any longer, so his involvement in season seven becomes much diminished as the series shifts gears to deal with the magical big-threats of the Avatars

He later confronts Piper and makes it plain he believes Homeland Security needs the sisters to go on doing whatever they had done against the supernatural occurrences now plaguing the west coast. Consequently at the end of the same episode, the sisters reveal to him that they faked their deaths and arranged for him to cover up their secret for them, explain away their faked "cover" identities in exchange for the occasional supernatural favor for the government.

After the sisters discovered a government strategy using demons to create super-soldiers, which nearly wiped out the magical community, the sisters and Agent Murphy decided to stop working together.

Near the end of the shows first season, the demon leader Source of all Evil (or The Source) sends a powerful upper level demon Tempus (Played by David Carradine) as a police-like backup to reinforce his undercover double agent the San Francisco police Internal Affairs (I.A.) Inspector Rodriguez.

Rodriguez is a demonic troubleshooter and hit man sent by the source to investigate and put an end to whatever forces of good had thinned out the ranks of evil doers in San Francisco over the past six to nine months. Appearing in several episodes, Rodriguez initially appears as a hard nosed Internal Affairs inspector pressuring Darryl Morris and partner Andy Trudeau as mundane mortal threats to their careers as he prys into why the occult and supernatural factors seem to run rampant through the rash of unsolved homicide cases the two have once investigated, and he and his human partner are claiming Andy (and perhaps Darryl) has covered up.

In the plot development, after hassling the recurring co-stars, Rodriguez, uses demon magic to kill his human partner and then framed Andy Trudeau for the deed in "Love Hurts", picking up the pressure in the season finale "Deja Vu All Over Again" where aided by Tempus he attacks and successfully kills one or more of the Charmed Ones over and over—each time learning from the experience and getting a little better in the attempt and closer to achieving the assassination of all three, before his own death and time repeats so he can try something a bit different that may work.

When the Charmed ones faked their deaths at the end of its seventh season, Elise openly admitted in the season-eight premiere episode "Still Charmed & Kicking" that Phoebe "was" her best friend, caring for her so much that she considered her the daughter she never had.

Phoebe's reaction, under the disguise of a false cousin, was very emotional in itself, showing the two truly had grown a strong friendship over the four years Phoebe worked at the paper. In another episode, Elise stuck Phoebe with her management headaches (as well as her own column while demons were creating numerous time demands) uncharacteristically getting a little deliberate bit of pay back and haring off for an ad hoc vacation with a love interest of her own while claiming a family emergency (as Phoebe so often had done), and gets caught out by coming to the P3 Club with her date.

In one episode, Elise gives Phoebe advice, advising her not to be like the women that focused solely on their careers and ended up with that being all that was left that they had. Elise indicates in her advice giving that she's one of those women and its something she regrets.

Pearl Russell

Pearl Russell is the past life of Phoebe Halliwell,:and was a cousin to both Priscilla Baxter and Phoebe Bowen, who killed her in 1924. As a blood relative of the Charmed Ones as is depicted in the quasi-time travel based Pardon My Past which entangles the fate of the three Halliwell sisters in the now of 1999 with three cousins and a magical artifact of the events of the three cousin's "then" of 1924 and a warlock lover, the warlock Anton.

Born- July 1894, Died – February 17, 1924, strangled by cousins. Cousins – Priscilla Baxter and Phoebe Bowen

Relationships – Lover – warlock Anton, a near immortal who stimulates Phoebe's parapsychological link to the twenty-four hour day preceding her death during her past life – when she was P. Russell and allied with Anton against her cousins when killed battling her cousins—past lives of her current sisters.

Marital Status – In a relationship to Anton (warlock)

Powers- Pyrokinesis.

She is the daughter of an unknown Russell and Christina Bowen a Warren witch. During the "roaring twenties", she lived with her two cousins Phoebe Bowen and Priscilla Baxter, and Baxter's husband Gordon Johnson in the family Manor. Priscilla had turned it into a speakeasy during the prohibition, and Pearl worked there as a fortune teller. Pearl Russell's ability for parapsychology was later shown in her future life of Phoebe Halliwell

Phoebe Halliwell

. Her name could be Pearl Russell, as there is a couch in the attic belonging to an Aunt Pearl.

Pearl Russell was initially a good witch of the Warren line with the power of pyrokinesis that was turned evil by her lover Anton, a warlock, and killed by her cousins Priscilla Baxter and Phoebe Bowen. She was also the past life of Phoebe Halliwell

Phoebe Halliwell

, who had to relive her last day alive in 1924 in the second season episode Pardon My Past. Pearl Russell had the power to throw fire; due to her abuse of that power, Phoebe Halliwell has no active powers until her third year as a witch. Ironically, as the Seer's plot with The Source of All Evil progresses, Phoebe as the Dark Queen of the Underworld in "Long Live The Queen" will also throw flames to vanquish lesser beings as her pregnancy progresses and her mood worsens—which the dialog credits or explains away as her baby's powers as it acts as did baby Wyatt from the womb.

When Paige received a ringing (like all the other whitelighters), she sent her out to help a whitelighter-to-be in order to stop the ringing. That helped Paige gain clarity to herself and Sandra helped her to accept her new destiny as a whitelighter.

While in the normal time line of history, Shax was dealt with by the just-in-time reconstitution of The Power of Three giving the climactic unwitting performance of Paige Matthew's very first spell in concert with her sisters, but returns in the backplot in the fifth season time travel episode "Centennial Charmed" when Cole Turner makes his last series appearance, now as an Avatar in his last futile attempt to remain married to Phoebe.

Shax is a greyish-sky-blue skinned hulk-like muscular hunk of a figure with unruly unkempt waist length hair that arrives in a whirlwind, burst through doors in a blast of wind, and in general conveys a sense of great power. He has been set upon an innocent, a Doctor who'd offended the Source when Phoebe'd had a premonition leading to the Charmed Ones acting to save the innocent. Shax attacked the doctor at the Manor, and when repulsed by the various defenses of the three sisters in a near-thing, is chased out into the street where Piper blasts him, albeit ineffectually as he shimmers

Darryl Morris

to cover for the Charmed Ones more than ever before as she conducts an independent investigation of the suspicious disappearances and deaths to which the three sisters have some connection. Overall she appeared in ten episodes during seasons six and seven, her sense of duty and investigations finally leading to her demise when she encounters the demon Zankou when trolling the manor for evidence against the sisters. Along the plot timeline, she becomes suspicious of Lt. Morris, and is for a time taken out of active plotting by Federal Agent Brody of Homeland Security, who (unconstitutionally) sedates her and places her in isolation in a mental institution.

Later the sisters and Darryl team up to locate her and restore her to health, albeit with a convenient dose of Hollywood amnesia, which they constantly fear will slip leading her to recall her investigations. At the end of the seventh season, her suspicions rekindled, she recovers some of her memory, pieces other things together, and begins pursuing leads against the sisters once again. Confronting Darryl, he elects to take a sudden vacation rather than answer her direct charges of collusion and cover-up. In a second confrontation in the episode "Something Wicca This Way Goes", he tries one last time to warn her off, telling Sheridan that the sisters are beyond reproach and whatever she discovers won't stick because of it.

Cooperating with the Feds led by an agent who identifies himself as having been Brody's superior, Sheridan wears a camera and enters the manor in an attempt to gain evidence sufficient to prosecute the sisters by confronting them. Unfortunately, the manor and the Book of Shadows

Daryll Morris—who intuits that the three and Leo, all in disguise are themselves watching the manor being attacked as part of the crowd.

The episode is the last and finale of the seventh season and marks the last appearance in the series of Zankou, the dutiful Sheridan and Lt. Darryl Morris—who is explained away in season eight as having been "transferred" (moved with new job).

A powerful upper level demon Tempus can control time causing time loops so that the double agent, the undercover demon San Francisco police Internal Affairs (I.A.) Inspector Rodriguez can try over and over to successfully assassinate all the Halliwell sisters, one or the other of whom manage to survive and kill him as they all relive the day over and over, until he learns from his various mistakes to piece together a sequence of events in the battle so that he succeeds. Phoebe however, proves sensitive to the rebooting of the day and to key events that make it up and gradually piece together they are in a time loop, convinces the others, and the three realize they can defeat Tempus's tool, Rodriguez only by reaching the end of the day so Tempus can't reboot it, so Piper freezes him and the three cast a spell to speed time up, defeating both demons—but only in circumstances that had Andy Trudeau

being killed as he provided a distraction, just as Phoebe's initial premonition had started the much repeated day.

Although he is never shown, Tempus is once again mentioned in the third season finale "All Hell Breaks Loose". He is called upon by The Source of All Evil, to reset time because the magical community had been exposed. Since he was weakened when the Charmed ones broke the time loop, turning back time ultimately destroyed him. However, the Source took pride in the fact that it also mananged to kill the eldest charmed one Prue Halliwell in the process. Tempus was also mentioned in passing during the season eight episode "Desperate Housewitches".

Triad, Demonic

The Triad is a shadowy power pulling strings behind the scenes of demonkind in the planes of the underworld that gradually became better and better known to the Charmed Ones in the second and third season as they pieced together different clues.

The second Triad returns reconstituted from forward planning individuals who'd been following demonic prophecies for over fifteen years to stalk the Charmed Ones late in the last season of the series, as the force behind the demons trying to oppose the Power of Three with two powerful witch sisters constituting a "Power of Two", wherein, one is a rare and powerful Firestarter witch raised by demons from early childhood, Christy Jenkins and her sister Billie, who is said to be the Ultimate power as she possesses not only telekinesis but the rare power of Projection, who has been mentored by the Charmed Ones.

Unable to vanquish such powerful upper-level demons directly (and getting an idea of how to do it from Cole's vanquish of the original Triad), the Paige-Piper team first freezes them during an attack, then translocates them in front of their own magical attack with no time to defend themselves—neatly and creatively causing the upper level demons to vanquish themselves. One is vanquished by the other's fireball which weakens the rest of the Triad (they have the same weakness as the Charmed Ones: their power is in their collective, take out one and the other two weaken) and Piper is able to vanquish a second with three molecular combustion blasts. The third gets away for the time, but is vanquished later by Christy Jenkins. The Triad returns later in spirit form and is revealed to be the original Triad reborn by a low-level demon named Nomed. According to him the Triad gets vanquished, but always come back, first in spirit form and then in physical form. The only way to kill them completely is to destroy their spirit form. The Charmed Ones destroy their spirit forms first with power from The Hollow and then with vanquishing potions once they travel back in time, vanquishing them for good.

Trudeau, Andrew "Andy"

Inspector Andrew "Andy" Trudeau (T.W. King, Jake Sakson): Andy Trudeau grew up next-door to the Halliwell sisters in San Francisco. As a child he was close to them all, and, as a result, Grams had to frequently wipe Andy's mind of any intentional or unintentional magic he might have witnessed in the Halliwell household. In high school he dated Prue for a short period. After high school, they parted ways and he moved to Washington, and later to Portland. He married, and later divorced, sometime between his college years and before he returned to San Francisco, but he still remains on good terms with his ex-wife, Susan. Andy worked as an Inspector – the third generation in his family to do so – for the San Francisco Police Department and is coincidentally assigned to almost every police case that involved the Charmed sisters. He works with Darryl Morris as his partner, although he caused quite a bit of "grief" to Darryl by almost always being seemingly ahead of his partner. As an inspector of the SFPD, Andy had access to police files with which he helped to cover up the Charmed Ones' escapades.

Shortly after Andy finds out the secret, the sisters come up against a demon named Rodriguez, who, as it happens, was one of the Internal Affairs officers at SFPD investigating Andy's "unsolved freaky cases". However, Rodriguez hits Andy with an energy ball, and sends him flying across the living room and into a glass display case, killing him. While unconscious, Andy comes to Prue and tells her that she must stop time from resetting so that his death will not be in vain and that he does not blame her for his death because he chose to come into Manor after she warned him not to. He also tells her that she taught him that everything happens for a reason, as with this and they share a final kiss. When she regains consciousness she casts a spell to stop the time loop, thus defeating Tempus, and then deflects Rodriguez's energy ball, killing Rodriguez. The three sisters later attend Andy's funeral with Darryl, and Andy's name was cleared of the crime Rodriguez framed him for. Prue continually blames herself for not being able to save Andy and her faith is gone in being a witch if it means always losing people they care about, but she is soon able to rely on Andy's message he had given her. After Prue dies together they were reunited in the afterlife. It is believed that if Andy and Prue had lived until the end they would have married and had three children also like Piper, Phoebe, and Paige.

(2000–2003; third through fifth seasons, guest appearances in the seventh season)

Cole is Phoebe's long term love interest and eventual first husband; he is a half-demon, creating situations over which the sisters clash. He is originally a powerful villain seeking to take the sisters out and steal their powers, but later takes other forms and supporting roles throughout his character's history. After his final vanquishment at the hands of the sisters, he continues to watch over Phoebe, silently and unseen from a limbo-like other plane; wherein he is once able to advise an unwillingly visiting Piper how she can escape. He becomes a fatalist and resigned to the doomed fate of living in his lonely limbo for the evil he had done in his long career as powerful demon soldier of fortune.

Cole is Phoebe's first husband. When he first appears on the show, he is a powerful and legendary demon named Belthazor, trying to destroy the Charmed Ones. But because he is half-human, he ends up falling in love with Phoebe. Once his true self is revealed, Phoebe decides that she still loves him anyway and fakes his vanquish in order to save him. Upon his return, their relationship begins as a constant struggle to stay together through the disapproval of her sisters and trying to fight off countless demons who either want to kill Belthazor for being a "traitor" or try to lure him back to evil. After about a year of being together, he becomes completely human, but is soon tricked by the Seer into being possessed by the Source of All Evil.

The Charmed Ones vanquish him as the Source, but Cole finds a way to come back from the dead. He refuses to give up on Phoebe, who won't accept him back into her life. He ultimately ends up going mad in his inner struggle between good and evil. After his final vanquish, he is doomed to spend eternity in Limbo for all that he had done but continues to watch over the Halliwell family, unseen. He did reappear in one episode in the seventh season, The Seven Year Witch. In this episode, Piper passes out due to poison from a thorn demon and is put on a plane between life and death, a cosmic void. There, Cole waits for Piper, and states that he was put there for punishment of being the Source of All Evil. He said that he wanted to help Piper because he still wants to make sure that Piper doesn't let Phoebe give up on love. The Charmed Ones had discussed that no Halliwell has been able to 'hold on to their man' and that there is no reason to wait on love any longer. Cole could not let this happen to his one love, Phoebe.

Later in the evolution of the series, Leo himself becomes one of the Elders, and then becomes one of the Avatars, which seek to eliminate all conflict from the world. Leo's magical promotions provide the show's portrayal of a supernatural universe with a backdrop of a career ladder of success and his plot conflicts frequently involve a struggle between career and family. His relationship with Piper is the first of many conflicts between the Halliwells and the Elders.

Yen-Lo, the Zen disciple

Yen-Lo is a disciple of the zen master whom Piper witnesses (in "Enter the Demon") attacking his elderly chinese mentor from behind with a sword after emerging from a puddle serving as a dimensional gate to Limbo. He had learned how to enter the plane and had survived there despite the wounds he received upon turning traitorous, the last time he attacked his master. As Piper and the Master's daughter An-Ling both witness, after wounding his master, the Zen Master's powerful disciple reopens up the portal to limbo and drags his grievously wounded master through it, to taunt and ridicule him for spiteful amusement as they both suffer from their wounds in the very slow time passage characteristic of that dimension. While wounded mortally, Yen-Lo won't bleed-out for a very long time in the limbo plane because time moves very slowly, so was a handful to defeat (Primarily by Phoebe's martial arts, and Paige's faltering attempt to use her new powers deliberately) when the Charmed Ones finally found a way to travel to Limbo. Yen-Lo was the first foe Paige had to help counter growing into her new life as a witch and Charmed One.
