* BreakTheHaughty: She's incredibly cocky and overconfident when the sisters meet her.

* GenkiGirl: In the first half of the season, she's very enthusiastic about magic. She even {{Squee}}s "that was awesome!" after she nearly blows herself up reading a spell out loud. Piper uses "perky" to describe her to Agent Murphy.

[[folder:Andy Trudeau]]
!!Andy Trudeau
-->'''Played by''': Creator/TWKing, Creator/JakeSakson (young Andy), Creator/ChrisBoyd (Unaired pilot)
[[quoteright:125:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_1andy1_3.jpg]]
Andrew 'Andy' Trudeau was born in the early '70's and was a police inspector for the San Francisco Police Department until he quit after being accused of knowing a connection between Prue Halliwell and a series of unsolved paranormal cases.
In 1999, Andy was killed after being hit by an energy ball thrown by a powerful demon known as Rodriguez.
Andy had been a lifelong friend of the Halliwells, having been living close to them and growing up with them. Penny 'Grams' Halliwell often had to cast spells on him to erase his memory as the girls would use magic on him whilst playing.
Andy and Prue had an on-off relationship since high school and Prue was devastated upon his death, believing him to be her true love; proven as she never had a proper boyfriend after his death.
----
* AgentMulder: Even before the events of the series, Andy specialized in the more unusual cases and was up to speed on the occult. As Season 1 progressed, he gained more of a reputation in this regard. After learning the big secret, he even said that he always believed in something beyond this world.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: He has been friends with Halliwells since they were children, and dated Prue in High School before the two broke up to go seperate ways. While they briefly got back together when he returned to San Francisco, they broke up when Prue felt he couldn't handle her being a witch. In the end however it's made clear that he was the love of Prue's life.
* FairCop: For Prue, who falls for him. When we see him as a child, Andy is seen wearing a sheriff costume, indicating that he wanted to be a police officer since childhood.
* HeroicSacrifice: He was killed by a demon while trying to help the sisters. He could've been brought back due to a GroundhogDayLoop, but he convinced Prue while in the afterlife not to let it happen in order to stop the demon.
* {{Muggle}}: Andy is the first main character to be a mortal, and that's the main reason why he and Prue are struggling to be together. He ultimately accepts the magical nature of the sisters, but unfortunately gets killed by Nicholas to protect them.
* MuggleBestFriend: Andy is a childhood friend of the sisters, and even though he and Prue had their relationship problems, Andy's still around to be there for the sisters. When the sisters travel to the past, we learn that the young Piper used to freeze poor Andy all the time, with adult Prue implying that ''that'' may be the reason why Andy is so suspcious of them.
* OccultDetective: Of the official police detective kind. His AgentMulder tendencies meant that he and Darryl were unofficially the experts on the "freaky cases".
* OneTrueLove: Prue's, with Cupid even insinuating he was the love of her life.
* ProperlyParanoid: As more and more unsolved cases somehow involving a Halliwell piled up, Andy became this. After Andy learned the big secret, Prue learned he knew a lot more than he let on.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Tries to be because he cares for Prue and her sisters, but it has gotten in the way of both his work and their relationship at times.
* SecretKeeper: For a few episodes in Season 1.
* SharpDressedMan: As is typical of police detectives on this show.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: He's able to get Prue to sleep with him within the first two episodes, anyway.
* TogetherInDeath: With Prue, as shown in the comics.
* UnwittingMuggleFriend: He has been friends with the Halliwells all of their life, and not once did he ever suspect anything peculiar going on with them.
* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: Him and Prue until he died.

!!Darryl Morris
-->'''Played by''': Creator/DorianGregory
[[quoteright:191:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_darrly_5975.jpg]]
Darryl Morris was a San Francisco Police Department inspector and the husband of Sheila Morris. He was the father of their two sons; Mikey and Darryl Morris Jr.
Originally the partner of Andy Trudeau, Darryl became close to the Halliwells and became an ally to them after learning of their magic secret. Since then, Darryl repeatedly put his job on the line to help cover for the sisters when a case featured any magic. In 2003, Darryl was promoted to lieutenant when he arrested a dangerous criminal with the help of Leo Wyatt and the sisters.
Darryl was a close ally to the sisters until 2004, where he was framed for a murder by the Cleaners to prevent the exposure of magic and almost executed. Although the Halliwells managed to convince the Tribunal to spare him, Darryl retained his memories of the ordeal. The event caused a rift between him and the sisters. He did, however, assist the girls in their battle against Zankou. Afterwards, he moved to the East Coast with his family.
----
* AgentMulder: An inversion. Even after learning the big secret, he still tries to solve rational cases and "be normal." However, his involvement in strange unsolved cases and his bringing in (what appear to be) psychic girls for consultation make him appear like this trope to his colleagues.
* AgentScully: Especially while partnered with Andy. He began to display a more open mind in Season 2 before learning the big secret.
* TheArtifact: Initially in Season 2, as his primary role had been being Andy's partner. A few episodes turned this around by developing him as a character and having him interact more closely with the sisters.
* BadassNormal: Gets caught up in the sisters' magical messes a lot, yet more often than not manages to hold his own without gravely serious injuries.
* ButtMonkey: The ''shenanigans'' the sisters put the poor guy through...
* DeadpanSnarker: Especially in the early seasons.
* ExtremeDoormat: At least until he comes very close to being executed. After that, he rightly tells the sisters where to shove it.
* FriendOnTheForce: He would often turn to the Halliwells with cases that he suspected magic had some form of interference. In turn the girls would use him as an informant to wherabouts of innocents and strange goings ons in San Francisco, as well as help in keeping the magical world a secret from the police and public in general.
* HappilyMarried: He's married and has 2 kids.
* IgnoredExpert: In Season 7, he warns Sheridan to leave the sisters alone--saying what they do "is above reproach" and that certain forces won't tolerate their work being interfered with. Sheridan ignores him and ultimately gets vaporized for it.
* LastNameBasis: In Season 1, almost everyone calls him "Morris". In one episode, he is surprised Andy of all people even remembers his first name. Later, as he becomes closer to the sisters, they switch to first-name basis with him.
* MuggleBestFriend: After Andy's death and Darryl's promotion to the main cast, he becomes the closest mortal around the Halliwell sisters apart from Victor and Darryl stays around for most of the series.
* OccultDetective: He and Andy became the experts on the "freaky cases," which he resents. After Andy's death, he becomes much more cooperative with the sisters, but also develops even more of a reputation for being associated with paranormal stuff.
* ProperlyParanoid: After Andy's death and before learning the secret himself, Darryl knew the sisters were hiding something. However, in a subversion, he didn't want to know the secret. He did, though, want to make use of their secret to help people when necessary.
* PutOnABus: The budget cuts in Season 8 led to Darryl being dropped altogether. "Run, Piper, Run" said he had moved back east with his family.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Takes Andy's place after the man's death. However, his "freaky cases" reputation tends to get in the way of the job at times, and then there's when he finds himself having to be reasonable when the sisters aren't.
* SatelliteCharacter: In Season 1, he is little more than Andy's partner. After Andy's death, he takes his place in the show, minus the romantic component, as he is HappilyMarried.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Near the end of season 6, Darryl is almost executed as a scapegoat for the Cleaners to cover up the Magic World. While the sisters manage to save him, Darryl has finally enough of helping the sisters and risking his life for them. During season 7, while he still refuses to help them directly, he occasionally helps them out regardless and he keeps protecting them from Sheridan.
* SuperpowersForADay: During season 6, a spell that was supposed to make Darryl immune to bullets ends up backfiring and gives him SuperStrength and overall invulnerability instead. This lasted for only one episode.
* SecretKeeper: Early in Season 2 onward, with his wife Sheila eventually being let in on the secret as well.
* TrueCompanions: To the Halliwells, to the point the Sisters didn't hesitate to threaten the council they would give up their powers and responsibilities as the Charmed Ones, and Piper even using magic to attempt smuggle Darryl out of jail to the safety of Magic School, in a bid to save his life, and according to his wife Sheila both she and Darryl look upon them all as part of the family. In the end while he kept his distance from them after the incident when he was nearly executed due to plans by the Cleaners to keep magic hidden, when the Charmed Ones needed him he was there. He even showed up to fight alongside the family in the big battle of magic in "The Power of 300".

[[folder:Dan Gordon]]
!!Dan Gordon
-->'''Played by''': Creator/GregVaughan
[[quoteright:127:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_dang_8090.jpg]]
Dan was the mortal neighbour of the Halliwells and was in an on-off relationship with Piper in Season 2. Dan used to play second base for the Seattle Mariners baseball team until he injured his knee. He moved to San Francisco for a job together with his niece, Jenny.
Dan dated Piper when he moved in next door the manor. He noticed the girls' strange lives and often suspecting they were hiding something during the majority of their relationship. Due to Piper's unexplained disappearances and avoidance of his questions, Dan became increasingly frustrated. He was also constantly feeling threatened by Leo's presence, knowing his history with Piper and knew that Piper still cared for him. Eventually, Dan felt as though he was just 'geographically desirable' and that the basis of the entire relationship with Piper was based on this. Piper finally breaks up with Dan after realising she was in love with Leo more.
----
* TheAllAmericanBoy: He displays some of these characteristics, chiefly by being a friendly neighbor to the Halliwells.
* CareerEndingInjury: He used to be a professional baseball player before a knee injury ended his career.
* CoolCar: When he was outside tending to his truck in "She's a Man, Baby, a Man!", the sisters made comments about a nice body and a great tan as a DoubleEntendre reference to both Dan himself and the truck. The confirmation that they were talking about Dan came via "Manny Hanks"[[note]]Prue temporarily turned into a man[[/note]] calling the truck awesome.
* FemaleGaze: While washing his car, Piper was busy checking out his jean-clad rear.
* LiterallyLovingThyNeighbor: During his brief season 2 fling with Piper.
* MrFanservice: He's subject to FemaleGaze and acts as a LoveInterest to Piper.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: His reaction to finding out about Piper and Leo's magic. It was so bad Piper had to use magic to make him forget the whole thing and move on. To be fair, she had kept him at arm's length and in competition with Leo for much of their relationship, and he ended up finding out about the secret by being temporarily turned into an old man.
* PromotionToParent: He had to take care of Jenny while her parents were in Saudi Arabia.
* ProperlyParanoid: He had his suspicions about Leo (though some of this was prompted by jealousy). The suspicions grew over time until he was absolutely certain that Leo was hiding something, which he technically was.
* {{Reincarnation}}: Of Gordon Johnson, husband of P. Baxter and great-grandfather of the Halliwell sisters.
* RelationshipRevolvingDoor: With Piper.
* RomanticFalseLead: Fit the trope by dating Piper and making Leo jealous.
* SatelliteCharacter: All of his screentime is devoted to giving Piper's life drama in some form.

Dan's niece and a neighbor of the Halliwells. Also a mortal.
----
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Niece. After Jenny found out that Dishwalla was playing at P3, she sneaked into the club to watch the band play even after Dan forbade her to.
* DamselInDistress: [[SoulEating Her soul was consumed]] by the demon Masselin when she snuck out to P3; she was freed along with all his other victims when the sisters vanquished him.
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Serves as a toned-down version to Kyle Gwydion, who was the Chosen One destined to vanquish the evil witch Tuatha. She gave him advice and helped him believe in himself.
* NoPeriodsPeriod: Averted, her period is the first thing she and Phoebe discuss.
* PutOnABus: Dan mentioned Jenny had moved back to live with her parents again.

[[folder:Leo Wyatt]]
!!Leonardo "Leo" Wyatt
-->'''Played by''': Creator/BrianKrause
[[quoteright:191:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_leo_6563.jpg]]
* AscendedExtra: Leo was a recurring character for the first season and half of the second. In "Pardon My Past," Krause was added to the main cast.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: When he finally finds out that Gideon is the one that is responsible for the ruin of his family and the collective future of the timeline that Chris comes out of, he finally uses the Elder powers he's held back to their full extent and kills him. Leo takes it a step further in Season 7 where he spends his time actively going after potential threats to his family and the Charmed Ones.
* BlessedWithSuck: Initially, as his whitelighter duty kept him and Piper from being able to truly get together.
* BodyguardCrush: For Piper, which is later reciprocated.
* BrokenPedestal: When he finds out Gideon has actually been trying to kill his firstborn son in his absence from his family.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Like Cole, this happens twice, [[spoiler:and the second time is permanent]].
* CosmicPlaything: How he's written out of Season 8. The Angel of Destiny arranges for Leo to die so that the sisters have the focus and motivation to overcome the coming threat. Piper makes a deal for Leo to merely be taken away and returned once the sisters win.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: While certainly not stupid, his [[ActualPacifist pacifistic leanings]] routinely kept him out of the fighting. The Elders and other Whitelighters also regularly "sold Leo short" (though this had more to do with his relationship with Piper). However, when the Titans slaughtered many Elders, it was Leo who stepped up, organizing ways to protect the survivors and giving the sisters godly powers to fight the Titans.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: His entire relationship with Piper. [[spoiler:Both endure obstacles at every turn, gut-wrenching heartache, being separated from each other several different times, constant threats against their children, and betrayals from those they thought they could trust. They never gave up, and they got to grow old together and see their children lead full lives.]]
* FanservicePack: Usually came with his moments of leveling up in badass, but also in season 8, where his face and hairstyle became a bit more rugged and his upper body more defined.
* FemaleGaze: Piper and Phoebe spent quite a bit of time ogling Leo's butt as he's fixing something in the fireplace.
--> '''Phoebe:''' Quite possibly the finest glutes in the city.\\
'''Piper:''' In the state.\\
'''Phoebe:''' In all the land.
** Prue walks in on Leo in the shower, and takes a second to look at Leo and remark "nice orbs" before being driven out by Piper.
* HealingHands: A standard for whitelighters and Elders, though Leo takes this to an extreme in that he even uses this ability to heal ''broken pipes'' in a potential whitelighter's home when he can't handle them with standard human abilities and tools.
* TheHeart: Lampshaded by Chris, who notes that the Charmed Ones are so dependent on Leo, they'd be absolutely ''lost'' without him.
* HeroicBSOD: Gets hit with this in succession in Season 6 and it carries over into Season 7 due to his mentor Gideon's betrayal and Gideon's part in Chris' death.
* HurtingHero: For a good part of Season 7, Chris' death and Gideon's betrayal cause Leo to become a darker, more pro-active [[DemonSlaying demon slayer]] in order to protect his family. His anguish and methods put a further strain on his marriage, making this more difficult for everyone.
* ImmortalLifeIsCheap: Being immortal, he's frequently on the receiving end of various calamities, such as Piper occasionally threatening to (or actually going through with) blowing him up, or when Paige testing her vanquishing potions on him.
--> '''Leo''': Dammit Paige, can you not practice on me? I may be dead, but it ''still'' hurts!
* IronButtmonkey: In addition to his ''actual'' job as a Whitelighter, the guy gets regularly beaten, battered and bruised whilst protecting the sisters, often tasked with finding out information from the Elders, constantly gets treated like the punchline to every joke and yet, rarely ever complains about ''any'' of these things beyond simple passive-aggressive comments. He's ''[[UndyingLoyalty that]]'' devoted to his wife and sisters-in-law.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: When Leo first appeared, he seemed like any other handyman. The first hints of what he really was came half a season down the line in "Wicca Envy" and a full explanation a little later in "Secrets and Guys." Of course, every character bio notes he's a UsefulNotes/WorldWarII veteran that ascended to Whitelighter status.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: For a while regarding Piper's pregnancy with Chris. To be fair, locking him out was easy since he and Piper alike didn't know it was POSSIBLE to get her knocked up in a dimension between life and death, and he had to hang with the Elders for a while immediately afterwards.
* TheMedic: This is his role in initial seasons for the Charmed Ones.
* MrFixIt: Apparently, his HealingHands extend to being able to repair burst pipes. Which is especially strange since it's underlined repeatedly that his healing power is triggered through [[PowerOfLove love]]. So, CargoShip?
* MrFanservice: Both Piper and Phoebe commented lustfully on his glutes when he initially worked for them as a handyman.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After he kills Zola, he undergoes a massive guilt trip.
* NiceGuy: He's one of the nicest characters in the show, so naturally he's often the butt of the joke. Aside from a few passive-aggressive comments, he takes it all on the chin and with remarkable grace.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Not bad for a guy in his seventies.
* TheOneGuy: The one man that the Charmed Ones trust in the magical world until Wyatt and Chris come into the picture.
* {{Omniglot}}: Leo can speak, understand and read every human language.
* OnlySaneMan: As the sisters' Whitelighter, Leo often had to play this role--trying to guide them and ensure their emotions didn't affect their judgment.
* PapaWolf: To both Wyatt and Chris.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: In Season 2.
* {{Teleportation}}: One of his powers due to being a Whitelighter.
* ThrownDownAWell: In Season 8.
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: In Season 7, Lord Dyson, an EmotionEater demon, tried to power up by feeding on Leo's pent-up rage and hostility. Leo had so much repressed anger that feeding on it caused Dyson to explode.
* TookALevelInBadass: After he became an Elder, he started using ''[[ShockAndAwe lightning bolts]]''.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Implied to have happened off-screen in Season 8 when two demons who were turned invincible against their will come after his former Magic School students for revenge because he at some point captured the demons and allowed his class to use them for vanquishing practice. Yes, the former pacifistic angel instructed his good magical students to become the AgonyBeam ''for training purposes''.
* WarHero: Leo served in WWII. When he attended a reunion (pretending to be his own grandson) all the other veterans, many of them war heroes themselves, and their families all gathered around Leo to talk about how he saved their lives.

!!Cole Turner / Belthazor
-->'''Played by''': Creator/JulianMcMahon (Cole), Creator/MichaelBaileySmith (Belthazor)
[[quoteright:191:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_cole_4702.jpg]]
* AndIMustScream: His fate after "Centennial Charmed" would seem to be this and may have been the intent. Trapped in a void, unable to interact with just about anyone, forever denied being with Phoebe, etc. However, it is amazingly subverted, as he has made peace with his fate and found a way to influence the real world.
* BatmanGambit: He arranged for [[spoiler:Drake dè Mon to make an inverted DealWithTheDevil which allowed Drake to become human, gain a soul and keep his powers, the catch being that he'd go to {{Hell}} if he used his powers for evil and either way he was dead after a year, on the condition that Drake found Phoebe and helped her regain her faith in love. He even arranged for Piper to be attacked and killed by Thorn Demons, a death which subverted Elder Odin's attempts trick Leo into giving up his family life for the Council, proving that [[ThePowerOfLove love indeed conquers all]]. All this, [[TheReveal revealed through one final appearance at the end of this year-long plan]]. All this, [[{{Determinator}} while stuck in a cosmic void]]. All this, to preserve his ex's belief in love even after she killed him.]]
* BadPowersGoodPeople: Cole's reasons (well, the main one) for becoming insane and evil in Season 5 is because his powers were demonic and inherently evil which has been known to influence users. Another reason is that Cole was mortal when he absorbed the powers of the wasteland and mortals are unable to handle having magic powers without going insane or worse.
* BeardOfSorrow: Of sorts. After no longer being The Source, the next time he is seen, he's miserable and has a beard.
* BecomingTheMask: [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor Revolving Door Edition]].
* BeingEvilSucks: Combined with BeingGoodSucks. From the time he first fell in love with Phoebe until the aforementioned BatmanGambit, he really, ''really'' couldn't do anything right.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Twice. Only for an episode the second time, though.
* CassandraTruth: Inverted in "The Demon Who Came in from the Cold," where Cole claims to his old brotherhood that he killed the Triad because they were plotting to betray the Source. The top demons remain suspicious of this claim to say the least, but Cole himself was lying about it as a cover. Thing is, as viewers learn in Season 8, [[spoiler:the Triad actually was plotting to betray the Source and seize power for themselves. Cole was right; he just didn't know it.]]
* TheCorruption: By the Source essence/power in the second part of season 4. Cole is not entirely suppressed though and while he never manages to wrestle the control of his body back, he ends up significantly [[FightingFromTheInside influencing the Source's actions]]. The Source Cole comes off more like a merge of the two with the Source persona being dominant than the Source just wearing Cole's body, hence both tropes.
* TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget: Usually when the sisters reject him it's the result of finding himself subject to at least the threat of this.
* DeaderThanDead:
** In the show: Paige claims that he is after his second death. [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope Turns out he wasn't.]] His soul survives, with all of his powers, in the Cosmic Void, still very much capable of affecting the world.]]
** In the comics: [[spoiler:his quest for redemption ends in exactly this way when he [[HeroicSacrifice jumps in the way of an attack]] [[TakingTheBullet meant for Coop]]. Said attack being a stab from a ''[[CessationOfExistence soul-erasing athame]]''.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: By Season 5, he's gotten quite good at this.
-->'''Cole:''' Stubborness is definitely a family trait. You've tried going upstairs twice, out the front door 4 times and through the wall 5.
-->''Piper get's thrown backwards through a wall.''
-->'''Cole:''' Make that 6 times. But hey, you haven't tried the chimney yet.
* EscapedFromHell: Escapes the demonic wasteland by absorbing an [[Franchise/MortalKombat Ermac]]'s worth of demonic powers.
* EurekaMoment: In the episode "Y Tu Mummy Tambien," Piper and Paige come to Cole for help, only to find him experimenting with different ways in how to kill himself. Piper suggests he take therapy, but Cole rebuffs it, stating he would "rather chop his head off than have it examined." This gives him the idea to conjure a guillotine to [[OffWithHisHead do just that]]. Of course, he never actually gets to use it, because after discussing Jeric, the MonsterOfTheWeek, with the sisters, he feels a connection with him and [[VillainTeamUp teams up with him]].
* {{Expy}}: Is clearly an expy of Angel from ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''. Reformed demon starts a love affair with female hero, then reverts to evil. Then good again. Then semi-evil (see Season 2 of ''Series/{{Angel}}''). Brad Kern obviously agrees with the saying 'good writers borrow from other writers; great writers steal from them outright.'
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Were the first clue that he got possessed/corrupted by the Source.
* GoodFeelsGood: While mortal, he helps to save a woman from a burning car and comments afterwards that it felt good, due to a combination of being able to help others and get some action in his somewhat dull mortal life at the same time. When he returns from death the first time, he uses his powers to save lives and help people for awhile, but eventually being treated like a fearsome scourge or tool instead of a person wore on him.
* HalfHumanHybrid: His father was human and his mother was a demon.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: His reason for turning evil again in Season 5. He wanted to be good, to help, to make up for past sins, but the sisters absolutely refused to even consider that he was anything but evil. To be fair, he does a lot to inspire their distrust even while claiming to want to be good. There's also the part where Cole was a mortal infused with more demonic powers than he could shake a stick at, which in the ''Charmed'' universe has clearly been proven to be a toxic combination--not to mention being in part the source of the Halliwells' mistrust. Combine all this, his SanitySlippage was not surprising in the least.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Has literally turned between good and evil seven times.
* HeroWithAnFInGood: Spending a century as a demonic hitman and depending on a woman's love to tether oneself to good is not a recipe for success as a hero.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Also an example of TooDumbToLive. When Phoebe finally gets the chance to vanquish him, Cole, even after everything he has done to the Charmed Ones, is confident that she will not be able to go through with it. She does, without hesitation.
* ICanChangeMyBeloved: He believes he can become good again and stay that way after returning from the Demonic Wasteland, and almost pulls it off, only to be screwed over just before Phoebe gives him another chance.
* ICannotSelfTerminate: Due to NighInvulnerability. It turns out that just about nothing else can kill him, either.
* IconicSequelCharacter: One of the most prominent and notable characters, but does not appear until Season 3.
* LivingShadow: He had one as Belthazor.
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Particularly in season 5, where being a mortal saddled with so many ungodly powers that he becomes invincible and his blood has turned acidic contributes both to the reason Phoebe continues to rejects him and why he doesn't take it very well at all.
* LoveRedeems:
** Initially seems to be subverted. His love for Phoebe leads him to do good, but it wasn't enough to make up for all the evil he had done. Absorbing a whole lot of demonic powers (twice, and the second time to come back from the first time) didn't help.
** [[spoiler:Going by "The Seven Year Witch" and then the comics, this actually does work in the end, as he's recollected himself in the Cosmic Void to the point of a HeelFaceTurn. No, he doesn't get back with Phoebe; in fact, he doesn't even try to do so. However, the fact that his good side was reawakened after a century of repression by falling in love with her to begin with means this counts.]]
* MagnificentBastard: Is very good at manipulating people and events to get exactly what he wants, though he uses those skills only when he's evil
* MrFanservice: Is nearly always seen as either a SharpDressedMan or WalkingShirtlessScene.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: After his first death, he assimilates the powers of defeated demons.
* NighInvulnerability: Has this in Season 5 thanks to the powers he's absorbed from the Wasteland.
* PoisonousFriend: Poisonous Lover is more like it. Whether he wants to or not, whether she's with him or against him, and all have been true at separate times, he tends to bring out some of the worst parts of Phoebe.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: As Belthazor.
* {{Redemption Equals|Death}} HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In his case, [[CessationOfExistence of his own existence]].]]
* ReformedButRejected: His second attempt at redemption after coming back from being vanquished as the Source. Mainly because it wasn't a true reformation [[spoiler:that would later come in the comics]] but rather a desperate attempt to convince Phoebe he was still worth having.
* SelfFulfillingProphecy: Phoebe rejects him, multiple times, on the grounds that he will always be evil. Primarily thanks to that repeated rejection, [[ThenLetMeBeEvil this comes to be]].
* ScreamingWarrior: Is prone to this when particularly anguished or pissed off.
* SingleTargetSexuality: He's Phoebe-sexual. No interest in anyone else, not even shapeshifters that can take her form.
* StalkerWithACrush: Even after being told that it's over, he still continues to do anything he can to get back with Phoebe despite the innumerable times she tells him to stop and tries to kill him. He never even once tells Phoebe or any other character he was about to completely pass on the Source's power and demonic essence to the Wizard until Phoebe herself killed the latter.
* SuicideByCop: He gets so depressed over Phoebe's constant rejections and his SanitySlippage that he tries to provoke the Charmed Ones into killing him. Phoebe realizes what he's doing and [[CruelMercy refuses to give him what he wants]]. Cole simply steals the vanquishing potion from her and uses it on himself... only to discover that he now has CompleteImmortality and not even the Power of Three can kill him.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Phoebe often describes him this way. Is also fond of making the occasional [[TallDarkAndSnarky snarky comment]] here and there.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: The Charmed Ones, especially Phoebe, adamantly refuse to believe he will ever ''not'' be evil, so he goes crazy and decides to go with it.
* TokenEvilTeammate: As an AscendedDemon.
* TroubledButCute: It's definitely Phoebe's charm.
* VillainBallMagnet: Whenever he is on the verge of letting go of his evil ties for good, something will inevitably force him back to the darkside. Whenever he is on the verge of accomplishing an evil goal or moving up in the pecking order, some idiotic or foolhardy decision will be the thing that keeps him back.
* {{Yandere}}: Becomes this towards Phoebe.
* YouMonster: After the demon Jeric mummifies Phoebe and Cole helps Jeric capture Paige so Isis's spirit can take over her body, Cole goes to Piper to inform her of the SadisticChoice she's being put in between saving Phoebe or Paige. The only thing Piper can say to Cole is "how can you be so evil?" Cole just simply says "it's a gift."

[[folder:Chris Perry Halliwell]]
!!Chris Perry Halliwell
-->'''Played by''': Creator/DrewFuller
[[quoteright:190:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_chris_5491.png]]
* BackFromTheDead: Not really back, considering the TimeyWimeyBall. It's more the fact that, with the BadFuture averted, Chris is [[spoiler:no longer dead]]. Still considered a win, though.
* BashBrothers: The last episode implies that in the changed future, Chris and Wyatt become this when they have taken over the Charmed Ones' duties in fighting evil.
* BirthDeathJuxtaposition: Dies, then is born. ItMakesSenseInContext.
* CainAndAbel: With Wyatt before Chris went back in time and changed things. Chris was the Abel to Wyatt's Cain.
* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: It's implied that Leo wasn't around for Chris due to his duties as an Elder, putting this trope in full effect if that's the truth... The only problem is that Chris doesn't think so and resents his father for it.
* DaddyIssues: Leo and Chris don't get along in their first encounters because Leo doesn't trust him, but later on, Chris' future issues with Leo rear its ugly head in full force.
* DeadpanSnarker: He could snark with the best of them - a trait he most likely gets from his his mother.
* TheDeterminator: He will save his brother's soul and stop the BadFuture from happening, come hell and high water. It doesn't matter how many [[DealWithTheDevil Deals with Devils]] or other shady things he has to do.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: When he first travels back in time, Chris arranges for Leo to be promoted to Elder so he can take his place as the Charmed Ones' Whitelighter... and only realizes later that with Piper and Leo separated, they won't conceive him and he'll be RetGone. This is due to RealLifeWritesThePlot, as the showrunners didn't figure out what they wanted to do with Chris until Holly Marie Combs became pregnant.
* GenerationXerox:
** It's implied in the last episode that Chris is going to follow in [[BigGood the Charmed Ones]]' footsteps alongside Wyatt.
** Dark haired, snarky, dedicated to his family, and neurotic to a fault - he's basically a male Piper. Even more so when the changed timeline makes him the middle child of three siblings by adding a younger sister, Melinda.
** He’s also very similar to Prue- he has the same overprotective nature, non-orb related telekenisis, steely determination, daddy issues, and an unfailing dedication to his family. Even his dour unrelenting intensity while demon hunting is practically copy and pasted from Prue’s later seasons.
* GoodIsNotNice: How he started. He eventually mellows out, but this still pops out occasionally. Extremely {{Justified|Trope}} considering what he's trying to prevent. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d by the Valkyrie Mist (yes, they exist) who, despite sharing a kiss with him, responds to his claim that he'd never hurt her by saying he would if he had to.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Like Paige, Chris is half-witch, half-Whitelighter.
* KidFromTheFuture: He's actually Piper and Leo's second son.
* LamarckWasRight: Chris receives Whitelighter abilities, but has powers equivalent to Prue's.
* MeaningfulName: His first name came from Leo's father, while it's speculated that "Perry" came from the Halliwells' "P"-naming tradition.
* MoralityChain: For his fiancee [[HighHeelFaceTurn Bianca]].
* MrFanservice: Phoebe (as Aphrodite) certainly thought so, as well as the sisters who take up the Halliwells' identities.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Dishes out one to Leo in the episode "Spin City." Having earlier been turned into a spider demon, he viciously confronts Leo, who mockingly asks why he hates him. Eventually, the taunts drive Chris over the edge; he throws Leo across the room, and then pins him down and absolutely ''pummels'' him all while screaming "You don't know me!" Even after being cured of the demon infection, he continues to beat on Leo, leaving his face bloody in the process, until Piper comes in and pulls him off. Through it all, Leo just lets him vent his frustrations and doesn't even try to fight back.
* OnlySaneMan: It certainly felt like this at times.
* ParentalAbandonment: In the original future, [[MissingMom his mom died when he turned 14]] and [[DisappearedDad his father]] [[WhenYouComingHomeDad was too busy to look after Chris]] [[DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou due to his duties as an Elder]], causing Chris to have deep-seated resentment towards Dear Old Dad (which he later gets over). [[RaisedByGrandparents Chris' grandpa had to step in to take care of him as a result]]. The entire situation is thankfully [[AvertedTrope averted]] in the altered future, though.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Sports these when he was infected by a Spider Demon.
* PrettyBoy: The most boyish out of all the male lead characters.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: In Season 6.
* RaisedByGrandparents: Because in his original timeline, [[spoiler:Piper dies when he's 14 and Leo was off being an Elder]], thus he ended up the rest of his youth being raised by Victor whom he's really attached to.
* RealNameAsAnAlias: Called himself "Chris Perry" when he first introduced himself. Subsequent material has suggested "Perry" is his middle name.
* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: Chris went back to before he was even conceived in order to save Wyatt from turning evil.
* SixthRanger: Becomes the sisters' second Whitelighter with the intention of protecting Wyatt [[spoiler:from the FaceHeelTurn accompanied by TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt]], and often comes across as an outsider as a result especially after his plan to get rid of Leo doesn't work out as he'd hoped for [[TookALevelInBadass several]] [[DidntThinkThisThrough reasons]].
* TheUnfavorite: In the unchanged timeline, to his dad, from his perspective at least. Of course, the fact that he's not nearly as powerful as Wyatt did little to help. He reacted with real indignation upon learning that Wyatt had powers while still in the womb, so one could imagine that he suffered from something of an [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex inferiority complex]].
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about the deeper aspects of Chris' motivations without talking about his relationship to the Charmed Ones.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Chris will do whatever it takes to keep his future from happening, up to and including killing beings in his way and conducting back-door deals with demons.

!!Billie Jenkins
-->'''Played by''': Creator/KaleyCuoco
[[quoteright:190:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_billie_2738.jpg]]
* CainAndAbel: She, the Cain, ends up having to kill Christy, the Abel, after she tries to kill Billie and the Charmed Ones. Even if you are not a fan of the Jenkins sisters]], you have to admit that killing the BrainwashedAndCrazy sister you spent your life searching for and trying to save up until that point is sad.
* CousinOliver: It was her duty to attract a younger demographic and make the Charmed Ones hip again.
* DemotedToExtra: [[spoiler:In the comics.]]
* FaceHeelTurn: Of course, [[LockedOutOfTheLoop Billie]] thought it was a [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn]]. She got better.
* GadgeteerGenius: Developed some nifty ideas, like "cyber-scrying" with online maps.
* GreenLanternRing: [[spoiler:Her "projection" power, which let her do anything she could think about.]]
* HellBentForLeather: Her initial appearance was in head-to-foot vinyl and a black wig that resembled [[ShoutOut Prue]]'s Season 3 hairstyle. Combined with the {{Telekinesis}} and SheFu she used early on, this led to a belief that they were trying for another SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute of the character.
* HeroicWannabe: Tries so hard to be a big hero.
* MindOverMatter: Her projection ability allows her to transform the state of people and objects around her, even up to RealityWarper levels.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: [[spoiler:During her brief FaceHeelTurn.]]
* PutOnABus: Season 9 explains that the Sisters sent her to the East Coast to look over and protect Darryl, Shelia and their sons.
* SixthRanger: Another youthful interloper to the Charmed Ones' lives after Chris.
* SixthRangerTraitor: [[spoiler:Is eventually convinced to turn heel by Christy.]]
* TomboyishName: Especially notable given that the show already had two previous male one-shot characters named Billy.

[[folder:Andy Trudeau]]
!!Andy Trudeau
-->'''Played by''': Creator/TWKing, Creator/JakeSakson (young Andy), Creator/ChrisBoyd (Unaired pilot)
[[quoteright:125:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_1andy1_3.jpg]]
Andrew 'Andy' Trudeau was born in the early '70's and was a police inspector for the San Francisco Police Department until he quit after being accused of knowing a connection between Prue Halliwell and a series of unsolved paranormal cases.
In 1999, Andy was killed after being hit by an energy ball thrown by a powerful demon known as Rodriguez.
Andy had been a lifelong friend of the Halliwells, having been living close to them and growing up with them. Penny 'Grams' Halliwell often had to cast spells on him to erase his memory as the girls would use magic on him whilst playing.
Andy and Prue had an on-off relationship since high school and Prue was devastated upon his death, believing him to be her true love; proven as she never had a proper boyfriend after his death.
----
* AgentMulder: Even before the events of the series, Andy specialized in the more unusual cases and was up to speed on the occult. As Season 1 progressed, he gained more of a reputation in this regard. After learning the big secret, he even said that he always believed in something beyond this world.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: He has been friends with Halliwells since they were children, and dated Prue in High School before the two broke up to go seperate ways. While they briefly got back together when he returned to San Francisco, they broke up when Prue felt he couldn't handle her being a witch. In the end however it's made clear that he was the love of Prue's life.
* FairCop: For Prue, who falls for him. When we see him as a child, Andy is seen wearing a sheriff costume, indicating that he wanted to be a police officer since childhood.
* HeroicSacrifice: He was killed by a demon while trying to help the sisters. He could've been brought back due to a GroundhogDayLoop, but he convinced Prue while in the afterlife not to let it happen in order to stop the demon.
* {{Muggle}}: Andy is the first main character to be a mortal, and that's the main reason why he and Prue are struggling to be together. He ultimately accepts the magical nature of the sisters, but unfortunately gets killed by Nicholas to protect them.
* MuggleBestFriend: Andy is a childhood friend of the sisters, and even though he and Prue had their relationship problems, Andy's still around to be there for the sisters. When the sisters travel to the past, we learn that the young Piper used to freeze poor Andy all the time, with adult Prue implying that ''that'' may be the reason why Andy is so suspcious of them.
* OccultDetective: Of the official police detective kind. His AgentMulder tendencies meant that he and Darryl were unofficially the experts on the "freaky cases".
* OneTrueLove: Prue's, with Cupid even insinuating he was the love of her life.
* ProperlyParanoid: As more and more unsolved cases somehow involving a Halliwell piled up, Andy became this. After Andy learned the big secret, Prue learned he knew a lot more than he let on.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Tries to be because he cares for Prue and her sisters, but it has gotten in the way of both his work and their relationship at times.
* SecretKeeper: For a few episodes in Season 1.
* SharpDressedMan: As is typical of police detectives on this show.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: He's able to get Prue to sleep with him within the first two episodes, anyway.
* TogetherInDeath: With Prue, as shown in the comics.
* UnwittingMuggleFriend: He has been friends with the Halliwells all of their life, and not once did he ever suspect anything peculiar going on with them.
* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: Him and Prue until he died.

[[folder:Darryl Morris]]
!!Darryl Morris
-->'''Played by''': Creator/DorianGregory
[[quoteright:191:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_darrly_5975.jpg]]
Darryl Morris was a San Francisco Police Department inspector and the husband of Sheila Morris. He was the father of their two sons; Mikey and Darryl Morris Jr.
Originally the partner of Andy Trudeau, Darryl became close to the Halliwells and became an ally to them after learning of their magic secret. Since then, Darryl repeatedly put his job on the line to help cover for the sisters when a case featured any magic. In 2003, Darryl was promoted to lieutenant when he arrested a dangerous criminal with the help of Leo Wyatt and the sisters.
Darryl was a close ally to the sisters until 2004, where he was framed for a murder by the Cleaners to prevent the exposure of magic and almost executed. Although the Halliwells managed to convince the Tribunal to spare him, Darryl retained his memories of the ordeal. The event caused a rift between him and the sisters. He did, however, assist the girls in their battle against Zankou. Afterwards, he moved to the East Coast with his family.
----
* AgentMulder: An inversion. Even after learning the big secret, he still tries to solve rational cases and "be normal." However, his involvement in strange unsolved cases and his bringing in (what appear to be) psychic girls for consultation make him appear like this trope to his colleagues.
* AgentScully: Especially while partnered with Andy. He began to display a more open mind in Season 2 before learning the big secret.
* TheArtifact: Initially in Season 2, as his primary role had been being Andy's partner. A few episodes turned this around by developing him as a character and having him interact more closely with the sisters.
* BadassNormal: Gets caught up in the sisters' magical messes a lot, yet more often than not manages to hold his own without gravely serious injuries.
* ButtMonkey: The ''shenanigans'' the sisters put the poor guy through...
* DeadpanSnarker: Especially in the early seasons.
* ExtremeDoormat: At least until he comes very close to being executed. After that, he rightly tells the sisters where to shove it.
* FriendOnTheForce: He would often turn to the Halliwells with cases that he suspected magic had some form of interference. In turn the girls would use him as an informant to wherabouts of innocents and strange goings ons in San Francisco, as well as help in keeping the magical world a secret from the police and public in general.
* HappilyMarried: He's married and has 2 kids.
* IgnoredExpert: In Season 7, he warns Sheridan to leave the sisters alone--saying what they do "is above reproach" and that certain forces won't tolerate their work being interfered with. Sheridan ignores him and ultimately gets vaporized for it.
* LastNameBasis: In Season 1, almost everyone calls him "Morris". In one episode, he is surprised Andy of all people even remembers his first name. Later, as he becomes closer to the sisters, they switch to first-name basis with him.
* MuggleBestFriend: After Andy's death and Darryl's promotion to the main cast, he becomes the closest mortal around the Halliwell sisters apart from Victor and Darryl stays around for most of the series.
* OccultDetective: He and Andy became the experts on the "freaky cases," which he resents. After Andy's death, he becomes much more cooperative with the sisters, but also develops even more of a reputation for being associated with paranormal stuff.
* ProperlyParanoid: After Andy's death and before learning the secret himself, Darryl knew the sisters were hiding something. However, in a subversion, he didn't want to know the secret. He did, though, want to make use of their secret to help people when necessary.
* PutOnABus: The budget cuts in Season 8 led to Darryl being dropped altogether. "Run, Piper, Run" said he had moved back east with his family.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Takes Andy's place after the man's death. However, his "freaky cases" reputation tends to get in the way of the job at times, and then there's when he finds himself having to be reasonable when the sisters aren't.
* SatelliteCharacter: In Season 1, he is little more than Andy's partner. After Andy's death, he takes his place in the show, minus the romantic component, as he is HappilyMarried.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Near the end of season 6, Darryl is almost executed as a scapegoat for the Cleaners to cover up the Magic World. While the sisters manage to save him, Darryl has finally enough of helping the sisters and risking his life for them. During season 7, while he still refuses to help them directly, he occasionally helps them out regardless and he keeps protecting them from Sheridan.
* SuperpowersForADay: During season 6, a spell that was supposed to make Darryl immune to bullets ends up backfiring and gives him SuperStrength and overall invulnerability instead. This lasted for only one episode.
* SecretKeeper: Early in Season 2 onward, with his wife Sheila eventually being let in on the secret as well.
* TrueCompanions: To the Halliwells, to the point the Sisters didn't hesitate to threaten the council they would give up their powers and responsibilities as the Charmed Ones, and Piper even using magic to attempt smuggle Darryl out of jail to the safety of Magic School, in a bid to save his life, and according to his wife Sheila both she and Darryl look upon them all as part of the family. In the end while he kept his distance from them after the incident when he was nearly executed due to plans by the Cleaners to keep magic hidden, when the Charmed Ones needed him he was there. He even showed up to fight alongside the family in the big battle of magic in "The Power of 300".

[[folder:Dan Gordon]]
!!Dan Gordon
-->'''Played by''': Creator/GregVaughan
[[quoteright:127:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_dang_8090.jpg]]
Dan was the mortal neighbour of the Halliwells and was in an on-off relationship with Piper in Season 2. Dan used to play second base for the Seattle Mariners baseball team until he injured his knee. He moved to San Francisco for a job together with his niece, Jenny.
Dan dated Piper when he moved in next door the manor. He noticed the girls' strange lives and often suspecting they were hiding something during the majority of their relationship. Due to Piper's unexplained disappearances and avoidance of his questions, Dan became increasingly frustrated. He was also constantly feeling threatened by Leo's presence, knowing his history with Piper and knew that Piper still cared for him. Eventually, Dan felt as though he was just 'geographically desirable' and that the basis of the entire relationship with Piper was based on this. Piper finally breaks up with Dan after realising she was in love with Leo more.
----
* TheAllAmericanBoy: He displays some of these characteristics, chiefly by being a friendly neighbor to the Halliwells.
* CareerEndingInjury: He used to be a professional baseball player before a knee injury ended his career.
* CoolCar: When he was outside tending to his truck in "She's a Man, Baby, a Man!", the sisters made comments about a nice body and a great tan as a DoubleEntendre reference to both Dan himself and the truck. The confirmation that they were talking about Dan came via "Manny Hanks"[[note]]Prue temporarily turned into a man[[/note]] calling the truck awesome.
* FemaleGaze: While washing his car, Piper was busy checking out his jean-clad rear.
* LiterallyLovingThyNeighbor: During his brief season 2 fling with Piper.
* MrFanservice: He's subject to FemaleGaze and acts as a LoveInterest to Piper.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: His reaction to finding out about Piper and Leo's magic. It was so bad Piper had to use magic to make him forget the whole thing and move on. To be fair, she had kept him at arm's length and in competition with Leo for much of their relationship, and he ended up finding out about the secret by being temporarily turned into an old man.
* PromotionToParent: He had to take care of Jenny while her parents were in Saudi Arabia.
* ProperlyParanoid: He had his suspicions about Leo (though some of this was prompted by jealousy). The suspicions grew over time until he was absolutely certain that Leo was hiding something, which he technically was.
* {{Reincarnation}}: Of Gordon Johnson, husband of P. Baxter and great-grandfather of the Halliwell sisters.
* RelationshipRevolvingDoor: With Piper.
* RomanticFalseLead: Fit the trope by dating Piper and making Leo jealous.
* SatelliteCharacter: All of his screentime is devoted to giving Piper's life drama in some form.

Dan's niece and a neighbor of the Halliwells. Also a mortal.
----
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Niece. After Jenny found out that Dishwalla was playing at P3, she sneaked into the club to watch the band play even after Dan forbade her to.
* DamselInDistress: [[SoulEating Her soul was consumed]] by the demon Masselin when she snuck out to P3; she was freed along with all his other victims when the sisters vanquished him.
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Serves as a toned-down version to Kyle Gwydion, who was the Chosen One destined to vanquish the evil witch Tuatha. She gave him advice and helped him believe in himself.
* NoPeriodsPeriod: Averted, her period is the first thing she and Phoebe discuss.
* PutOnABus: Dan mentioned Jenny had moved back to live with her parents again.

[[folder:Leo Wyatt]]
!!Leonardo "Leo" Wyatt
-->'''Played by''': Creator/BrianKrause
[[quoteright:191:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_leo_6563.jpg]]
* AscendedExtra: Leo was a recurring character for the first season and half of the second. In "Pardon My Past," Krause was added to the main cast.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: When he finally finds out that Gideon is the one that is responsible for the ruin of his family and the collective future of the timeline that Chris comes out of, he finally uses the Elder powers he's held back to their full extent and kills him. Leo takes it a step further in Season 7 where he spends his time actively going after potential threats to his family and the Charmed Ones.
* BlessedWithSuck: Initially, as his whitelighter duty kept him and Piper from being able to truly get together.
* BodyguardCrush: For Piper, which is later reciprocated.
* BrokenPedestal: When he finds out Gideon has actually been trying to kill his firstborn son in his absence from his family.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Like Cole, this happens twice, [[spoiler:and the second time is permanent]].
* CosmicPlaything: How he's written out of Season 8. The Angel of Destiny arranges for Leo to die so that the sisters have the focus and motivation to overcome the coming threat. Piper makes a deal for Leo to merely be taken away and returned once the sisters win.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: While certainly not stupid, his [[ActualPacifist pacifistic leanings]] routinely kept him out of the fighting. The Elders and other Whitelighters also regularly "sold Leo short" (though this had more to do with his relationship with Piper). However, when the Titans slaughtered many Elders, it was Leo who stepped up, organizing ways to protect the survivors and giving the sisters godly powers to fight the Titans.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: His entire relationship with Piper. [[spoiler:Both endure obstacles at every turn, gut-wrenching heartache, being separated from each other several different times, constant threats against their children, and betrayals from those they thought they could trust. They never gave up, and they got to grow old together and see their children lead full lives.]]
* FanservicePack: Usually came with his moments of leveling up in badass, but also in season 8, where his face and hairstyle became a bit more rugged and his upper body more defined.
* FemaleGaze: Piper and Phoebe spent quite a bit of time ogling Leo's butt as he's fixing something in the fireplace.
--> '''Phoebe:''' Quite possibly the finest glutes in the city.\\
'''Piper:''' In the state.\\
'''Phoebe:''' In all the land.
** Prue walks in on Leo in the shower, and takes a second to look at Leo and remark "nice orbs" before being driven out by Piper.
* HealingHands: A standard for whitelighters and Elders, though Leo takes this to an extreme in that he even uses this ability to heal ''broken pipes'' in a potential whitelighter's home when he can't handle them with standard human abilities and tools.
* TheHeart: Lampshaded by Chris, who notes that the Charmed Ones are so dependent on Leo, they'd be absolutely ''lost'' without him.
* HeroicBSOD: Gets hit with this in succession in Season 6 and it carries over into Season 7 due to his mentor Gideon's betrayal and Gideon's part in Chris' death.
* HurtingHero: For a good part of Season 7, Chris' death and Gideon's betrayal cause Leo to become a darker, more pro-active [[DemonSlaying demon slayer]] in order to protect his family. His anguish and methods put a further strain on his marriage, making this more difficult for everyone.
* ImmortalLifeIsCheap: Being immortal, he's frequently on the receiving end of various calamities, such as Piper occasionally threatening to (or actually going through with) blowing him up, or when Paige testing her vanquishing potions on him.
--> '''Leo''': Dammit Paige, can you not practice on me? I may be dead, but it ''still'' hurts!
* IronButtmonkey: In addition to his ''actual'' job as a Whitelighter, the guy gets regularly beaten, battered and bruised whilst protecting the sisters, often tasked with finding out information from the Elders, constantly gets treated like the punchline to every joke and yet, rarely ever complains about ''any'' of these things beyond simple passive-aggressive comments. He's ''[[UndyingLoyalty that]]'' devoted to his wife and sisters-in-law.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: When Leo first appeared, he seemed like any other handyman. The first hints of what he really was came half a season down the line in "Wicca Envy" and a full explanation a little later in "Secrets and Guys." Of course, every character bio notes he's a UsefulNotes/WorldWarII veteran that ascended to Whitelighter status.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: For a while regarding Piper's pregnancy with Chris. To be fair, locking him out was easy since he and Piper alike didn't know it was POSSIBLE to get her knocked up in a dimension between life and death, and he had to hang with the Elders for a while immediately afterwards.
* TheMedic: This is his role in initial seasons for the Charmed Ones.
* MrFixIt: Apparently, his HealingHands extend to being able to repair burst pipes. Which is especially strange since it's underlined repeatedly that his healing power is triggered through [[PowerOfLove love]]. So, CargoShip?
* MrFanservice: Both Piper and Phoebe commented lustfully on his glutes when he initially worked for them as a handyman.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After he kills Zola, he undergoes a massive guilt trip.
* NiceGuy: He's one of the nicest characters in the show, so naturally he's often the butt of the joke. Aside from a few passive-aggressive comments, he takes it all on the chin and with remarkable grace.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Not bad for a guy in his seventies.
* TheOneGuy: The one man that the Charmed Ones trust in the magical world until Wyatt and Chris come into the picture.
* {{Omniglot}}: Leo can speak, understand and read every human language.
* OnlySaneMan: As the sisters' Whitelighter, Leo often had to play this role--trying to guide them and ensure their emotions didn't affect their judgment.
* PapaWolf: To both Wyatt and Chris.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: In Season 2.
* {{Teleportation}}: One of his powers due to being a Whitelighter.
* ThrownDownAWell: In Season 8.
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: In Season 7, Lord Dyson, an EmotionEater demon, tried to power up by feeding on Leo's pent-up rage and hostility. Leo had so much repressed anger that feeding on it caused Dyson to explode.
* TookALevelInBadass: After he became an Elder, he started using ''[[ShockAndAwe lightning bolts]]''.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Implied to have happened off-screen in Season 8 when two demons who were turned invincible against their will come after his former Magic School students for revenge because he at some point captured the demons and allowed his class to use them for vanquishing practice. Yes, the former pacifistic angel instructed his good magical students to become the AgonyBeam ''for training purposes''.
* WarHero: Leo served in WWII. When he attended a reunion (pretending to be his own grandson) all the other veterans, many of them war heroes themselves, and their families all gathered around Leo to talk about how he saved their lives.

[[folder:Cole Turner / Belthazor]]
!!Cole Turner / Belthazor
-->'''Played by''': Creator/JulianMcMahon (Cole), Creator/MichaelBaileySmith (Belthazor)
[[quoteright:191:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_cole_4702.jpg]]
* AndIMustScream: His fate after "Centennial Charmed" would seem to be this and may have been the intent. Trapped in a void, unable to interact with just about anyone, forever denied being with Phoebe, etc. However, it is amazingly subverted, as he has made peace with his fate and found a way to influence the real world.
* BatmanGambit: He arranged for [[spoiler:Drake dè Mon to make an inverted DealWithTheDevil which allowed Drake to become human, gain a soul and keep his powers, the catch being that he'd go to {{Hell}} if he used his powers for evil and either way he was dead after a year, on the condition that Drake found Phoebe and helped her regain her faith in love. He even arranged for Piper to be attacked and killed by Thorn Demons, a death which subverted Elder Odin's attempts trick Leo into giving up his family life for the Council, proving that [[ThePowerOfLove love indeed conquers all]]. All this, [[TheReveal revealed through one final appearance at the end of this year-long plan]]. All this, [[{{Determinator}} while stuck in a cosmic void]]. All this, to preserve his ex's belief in love even after she killed him.]]
* BadPowersGoodPeople: Cole's reasons (well, the main one) for becoming insane and evil in Season 5 is because his powers were demonic and inherently evil which has been known to influence users. Another reason is that Cole was mortal when he absorbed the powers of the wasteland and mortals are unable to handle having magic powers without going insane or worse.
* BeardOfSorrow: Of sorts. After no longer being The Source, the next time he is seen, he's miserable and has a beard.
* BecomingTheMask: [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor Revolving Door Edition]].
* BeingEvilSucks: Combined with BeingGoodSucks. From the time he first fell in love with Phoebe until the aforementioned BatmanGambit, he really, ''really'' couldn't do anything right.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Twice. Only for an episode the second time, though.
* CassandraTruth: Inverted in "The Demon Who Came in from the Cold," where Cole claims to his old brotherhood that he killed the Triad because they were plotting to betray the Source. The top demons remain suspicious of this claim to say the least, but Cole himself was lying about it as a cover. Thing is, as viewers learn in Season 8, [[spoiler:the Triad actually was plotting to betray the Source and seize power for themselves. Cole was right; he just didn't know it.]]
* TheCorruption: By the Source essence/power in the second part of season 4. Cole is not entirely suppressed though and while he never manages to wrestle the control of his body back, he ends up significantly [[FightingFromTheInside influencing the Source's actions]]. The Source Cole comes off more like a merge of the two with the Source persona being dominant than the Source just wearing Cole's body, hence both tropes.
* TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget: Usually when the sisters reject him it's the result of finding himself subject to at least the threat of this.
* DeaderThanDead:
** In the show: Paige claims that he is after his second death. [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope Turns out he wasn't.]] His soul survives, with all of his powers, in the Cosmic Void, still very much capable of affecting the world.]]
** In the comics: [[spoiler:his quest for redemption ends in exactly this way when he [[HeroicSacrifice jumps in the way of an attack]] [[TakingTheBullet meant for Coop]]. Said attack being a stab from a ''[[CessationOfExistence soul-erasing athame]]''.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: By Season 5, he's gotten quite good at this.
-->'''Cole:''' Stubborness is definitely a family trait. You've tried going upstairs twice, out the front door 4 times and through the wall 5.
-->''Piper get's thrown backwards through a wall.''
-->'''Cole:''' Make that 6 times. But hey, you haven't tried the chimney yet.
* EscapedFromHell: Escapes the demonic wasteland by absorbing an [[Franchise/MortalKombat Ermac]]'s worth of demonic powers.
* EurekaMoment: In the episode "Y Tu Mummy Tambien," Piper and Paige come to Cole for help, only to find him experimenting with different ways in how to kill himself. Piper suggests he take therapy, but Cole rebuffs it, stating he would "rather chop his head off than have it examined." This gives him the idea to conjure a guillotine to [[OffWithHisHead do just that]]. Of course, he never actually gets to use it, because after discussing Jeric, the MonsterOfTheWeek, with the sisters, he feels a connection with him and [[VillainTeamUp teams up with him]].
* {{Expy}}: Is clearly an expy of Angel from ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''. Reformed demon starts a love affair with female hero, then reverts to evil. Then good again. Then semi-evil (see Season 2 of ''Series/{{Angel}}''). Brad Kern obviously agrees with the saying 'good writers borrow from other writers; great writers steal from them outright.'
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Were the first clue that he got possessed/corrupted by the Source.
* GoodFeelsGood: While mortal, he helps to save a woman from a burning car and comments afterwards that it felt good, due to a combination of being able to help others and get some action in his somewhat dull mortal life at the same time. When he returns from death the first time, he uses his powers to save lives and help people for awhile, but eventually being treated like a fearsome scourge or tool instead of a person wore on him.
* HalfHumanHybrid: His father was human and his mother was a demon.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: His reason for turning evil again in Season 5. He wanted to be good, to help, to make up for past sins, but the sisters absolutely refused to even consider that he was anything but evil. To be fair, he does a lot to inspire their distrust even while claiming to want to be good. There's also the part where Cole was a mortal infused with more demonic powers than he could shake a stick at, which in the ''Charmed'' universe has clearly been proven to be a toxic combination--not to mention being in part the source of the Halliwells' mistrust. Combine all this, his SanitySlippage was not surprising in the least.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Has literally turned between good and evil seven times.
* HeroWithAnFInGood: Spending a century as a demonic hitman and depending on a woman's love to tether oneself to good is not a recipe for success as a hero.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Also an example of TooDumbToLive. When Phoebe finally gets the chance to vanquish him, Cole, even after everything he has done to the Charmed Ones, is confident that she will not be able to go through with it. She does, without hesitation.
* ICanChangeMyBeloved: He believes he can become good again and stay that way after returning from the Demonic Wasteland, and almost pulls it off, only to be screwed over just before Phoebe gives him another chance.
* ICannotSelfTerminate: Due to NighInvulnerability. It turns out that just about nothing else can kill him, either.
* IconicSequelCharacter: One of the most prominent and notable characters, but does not appear until Season 3.
* LivingShadow: He had one as Belthazor.
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Particularly in season 5, where being a mortal saddled with so many ungodly powers that he becomes invincible and his blood has turned acidic contributes both to the reason Phoebe continues to rejects him and why he doesn't take it very well at all.
* LoveRedeems:
** Initially seems to be subverted. His love for Phoebe leads him to do good, but it wasn't enough to make up for all the evil he had done. Absorbing a whole lot of demonic powers (twice, and the second time to come back from the first time) didn't help.
** [[spoiler:Going by "The Seven Year Witch" and then the comics, this actually does work in the end, as he's recollected himself in the Cosmic Void to the point of a HeelFaceTurn. No, he doesn't get back with Phoebe; in fact, he doesn't even try to do so. However, the fact that his good side was reawakened after a century of repression by falling in love with her to begin with means this counts.]]
* MagnificentBastard: Is very good at manipulating people and events to get exactly what he wants, though he uses those skills only when he's evil
* MrFanservice: Is nearly always seen as either a SharpDressedMan or WalkingShirtlessScene.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: After his first death, he assimilates the powers of defeated demons.
* NighInvulnerability: Has this in Season 5 thanks to the powers he's absorbed from the Wasteland.
* PoisonousFriend: Poisonous Lover is more like it. Whether he wants to or not, whether she's with him or against him, and all have been true at separate times, he tends to bring out some of the worst parts of Phoebe.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: As Belthazor.
* {{Redemption Equals|Death}} HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In his case, [[CessationOfExistence of his own existence]].]]
* ReformedButRejected: His second attempt at redemption after coming back from being vanquished as the Source. Mainly because it wasn't a true reformation [[spoiler:that would later come in the comics]] but rather a desperate attempt to convince Phoebe he was still worth having.
* SelfFulfillingProphecy: Phoebe rejects him, multiple times, on the grounds that he will always be evil. Primarily thanks to that repeated rejection, [[ThenLetMeBeEvil this comes to be]].
* ScreamingWarrior: Is prone to this when particularly anguished or pissed off.
* SingleTargetSexuality: He's Phoebe-sexual. No interest in anyone else, not even shapeshifters that can take her form.
* StalkerWithACrush: Even after being told that it's over, he still continues to do anything he can to get back with Phoebe despite the innumerable times she tells him to stop and tries to kill him. He never even once tells Phoebe or any other character he was about to completely pass on the Source's power and demonic essence to the Wizard until Phoebe herself killed the latter.
* SuicideByCop: He gets so depressed over Phoebe's constant rejections and his SanitySlippage that he tries to provoke the Charmed Ones into killing him. Phoebe realizes what he's doing and [[CruelMercy refuses to give him what he wants]]. Cole simply steals the vanquishing potion from her and uses it on himself... only to discover that he now has CompleteImmortality and not even the Power of Three can kill him.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Phoebe often describes him this way. Is also fond of making the occasional [[TallDarkAndSnarky snarky comment]] here and there.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: The Charmed Ones, especially Phoebe, adamantly refuse to believe he will ever ''not'' be evil, so he goes crazy and decides to go with it.
* TokenEvilTeammate: As an AscendedDemon.
* TroubledButCute: It's definitely Phoebe's charm.
* VillainBallMagnet: Whenever he is on the verge of letting go of his evil ties for good, something will inevitably force him back to the darkside. Whenever he is on the verge of accomplishing an evil goal or moving up in the pecking order, some idiotic or foolhardy decision will be the thing that keeps him back.
* {{Yandere}}: Becomes this towards Phoebe.
* YouMonster: After the demon Jeric mummifies Phoebe and Cole helps Jeric capture Paige so Isis's spirit can take over her body, Cole goes to Piper to inform her of the SadisticChoice she's being put in between saving Phoebe or Paige. The only thing Piper can say to Cole is "how can you be so evil?" Cole just simply says "it's a gift."

[[folder:Chris Perry Halliwell]]
!!Chris Perry Halliwell
-->'''Played by''': Creator/DrewFuller
[[quoteright:190:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_chris_5491.png]]
* BackFromTheDead: Not really back, considering the TimeyWimeyBall. It's more the fact that, with the BadFuture averted, Chris is [[spoiler:no longer dead]]. Still considered a win, though.
* BashBrothers: The last episode implies that in the changed future, Chris and Wyatt become this when they have taken over the Charmed Ones' duties in fighting evil.
* BirthDeathJuxtaposition: Dies, then is born. ItMakesSenseInContext.
* CainAndAbel: With Wyatt before Chris went back in time and changed things. Chris was the Abel to Wyatt's Cain.
* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: It's implied that Leo wasn't around for Chris due to his duties as an Elder, putting this trope in full effect if that's the truth... The only problem is that Chris doesn't think so and resents his father for it.
* DaddyIssues: Leo and Chris don't get along in their first encounters because Leo doesn't trust him, but later on, Chris' future issues with Leo rear its ugly head in full force.
* DeadpanSnarker: He could snark with the best of them - a trait he most likely gets from his his mother.
* TheDeterminator: He will save his brother's soul and stop the BadFuture from happening, come hell and high water. It doesn't matter how many [[DealWithTheDevil Deals with Devils]] or other shady things he has to do.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: When he first travels back in time, Chris arranges for Leo to be promoted to Elder so he can take his place as the Charmed Ones' Whitelighter... and only realizes later that with Piper and Leo separated, they won't conceive him and he'll be RetGone. This is due to RealLifeWritesThePlot, as the showrunners didn't figure out what they wanted to do with Chris until Holly Marie Combs became pregnant.
* GenerationXerox:
** It's implied in the last episode that Chris is going to follow in [[BigGood the Charmed Ones]]' footsteps alongside Wyatt.
** Dark haired, snarky, dedicated to his family, and neurotic to a fault - he's basically a male Piper. Even more so when the changed timeline makes him the middle child of three siblings by adding a younger sister, Melinda.
** He’s also very similar to Prue- he has the same overprotective nature, non-orb related telekenisis, steely determination, daddy issues, and an unfailing dedication to his family. Even his dour unrelenting intensity while demon hunting is practically copy and pasted from Prue’s later seasons.
* GoodIsNotNice: How he started. He eventually mellows out, but this still pops out occasionally. Extremely {{Justified|Trope}} considering what he's trying to prevent. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d by the Valkyrie Mist (yes, they exist) who, despite sharing a kiss with him, responds to his claim that he'd never hurt her by saying he would if he had to.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Like Paige, Chris is half-witch, half-Whitelighter.
* KidFromTheFuture: He's actually Piper and Leo's second son.
* LamarckWasRight: Chris receives Whitelighter abilities, but has powers equivalent to Prue's.
* MeaningfulName: His first name came from Leo's father, while it's speculated that "Perry" came from the Halliwells' "P"-naming tradition.
* MoralityChain: For his fiancee [[HighHeelFaceTurn Bianca]].
* MrFanservice: Phoebe (as Aphrodite) certainly thought so, as well as the sisters who take up the Halliwells' identities.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Dishes out one to Leo in the episode "Spin City." Having earlier been turned into a spider demon, he viciously confronts Leo, who mockingly asks why he hates him. Eventually, the taunts drive Chris over the edge; he throws Leo across the room, and then pins him down and absolutely ''pummels'' him all while screaming "You don't know me!" Even after being cured of the demon infection, he continues to beat on Leo, leaving his face bloody in the process, until Piper comes in and pulls him off. Through it all, Leo just lets him vent his frustrations and doesn't even try to fight back.
* OnlySaneMan: It certainly felt like this at times.
* ParentalAbandonment: In the original future, [[MissingMom his mom died when he turned 14]] and [[DisappearedDad his father]] [[WhenYouComingHomeDad was too busy to look after Chris]] [[DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou due to his duties as an Elder]], causing Chris to have deep-seated resentment towards Dear Old Dad (which he later gets over). [[RaisedByGrandparents Chris' grandpa had to step in to take care of him as a result]]. The entire situation is thankfully [[AvertedTrope averted]] in the altered future, though.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Sports these when he was infected by a Spider Demon.
* PrettyBoy: The most boyish out of all the male lead characters.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: In Season 6.
* RaisedByGrandparents: Because in his original timeline, [[spoiler:Piper dies when he's 14 and Leo was off being an Elder]], thus he ended up the rest of his youth being raised by Victor whom he's really attached to.
* RealNameAsAnAlias: Called himself "Chris Perry" when he first introduced himself. Subsequent material has suggested "Perry" is his middle name.
* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: Chris went back to before he was even conceived in order to save Wyatt from turning evil.
* SixthRanger: Becomes the sisters' second Whitelighter with the intention of protecting Wyatt [[spoiler:from the FaceHeelTurn accompanied by TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt]], and often comes across as an outsider as a result especially after his plan to get rid of Leo doesn't work out as he'd hoped for [[TookALevelInBadass several]] [[DidntThinkThisThrough reasons]].
* TheUnfavorite: In the unchanged timeline, to his dad, from his perspective at least. Of course, the fact that he's not nearly as powerful as Wyatt did little to help. He reacted with real indignation upon learning that Wyatt had powers while still in the womb, so one could imagine that he suffered from something of an [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex inferiority complex]].
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about the deeper aspects of Chris' motivations without talking about his relationship to the Charmed Ones.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Chris will do whatever it takes to keep his future from happening, up to and including killing beings in his way and conducting back-door deals with demons.

!!Billie Jenkins
-->'''Played by''': Creator/KaleyCuoco
[[quoteright:190:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_billie_2738.jpg]]
* CainAndAbel: She, the Cain, ends up having to kill Christy, the Abel, after she tries to kill Billie and the Charmed Ones. Even if you are not a fan of the Jenkins sisters]], you have to admit that killing the BrainwashedAndCrazy sister you spent your life searching for and trying to save up until that point is sad.
* CousinOliver: It was her duty to attract a younger demographic and make the Charmed Ones hip again.
* DemotedToExtra: [[spoiler:In the comics.]]
* FaceHeelTurn: Of course, [[LockedOutOfTheLoop Billie]] thought it was a [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn]]. She got better.
* GadgeteerGenius: Developed some nifty ideas, like "cyber-scrying" with online maps.
* GreenLanternRing: [[spoiler:Her "projection" power, which let her do anything she could think about.]]
* HellBentForLeather: Her initial appearance was in head-to-foot vinyl and a black wig that resembled [[ShoutOut Prue]]'s Season 3 hairstyle. Combined with the {{Telekinesis}} and SheFu she used early on, this led to a belief that they were trying for another SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute of the character.
* HeroicWannabe: Tries so hard to be a big hero.
* MindOverMatter: Her projection ability allows her to transform the state of people and objects around her, even up to RealityWarper levels.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: [[spoiler:During her brief FaceHeelTurn.]]
* PutOnABus: Season 9 explains that the Sisters sent her to the East Coast to look over and protect Darryl, Shelia and their sons.
* SixthRanger: Another youthful interloper to the Charmed Ones' lives after Chris.
* SixthRangerTraitor: [[spoiler:Is eventually convinced to turn heel by Christy.]]
* TomboyishName: Especially notable given that the show already had two previous male one-shot characters named Billy.
