%% NOTE 2: A CompleteMonster is an individual character, not a collective. Therefore a faction cannot be listed as one. %% A faction can attract Complete Monsters and can have them among its members, but cannot be one in and of itself.

[[Series/Charmed1998 In their fight against the forces of evil]], the Charmed Ones have gone up against some vile villains. These are [[CompleteMonster the worst of the forces of evil]] to face off against the Power of Three.

* [[OverarchingVillain The Source of All Evil]] is an [[AncientEvil ancient, demonic essence]] which rules the underworld and is the show's ultimate antagonist. The Source [[BodySurf jumps from host to host]] to continue his evil and is behind most of the evils of the show, whether it be founding academies to break innocents into his minions; enacting [[FinalSolution genocide on the wizard race]]; or even using the [[HorsemenOfTheApocalypse four horsemen]] to attempt to [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt destroy the world]] multiple times. In his appearance in the flesh, he makes multiple attempts to corrupt and mentally break the Charmed Ones and their allies before [[SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum attempting to use the power-draining Hollow]], against the wishes of his minions, despite the fact it would cause him to consume all of existence. Returning from his vanquishment by possessing Cole Turner, the Source corrupts his and Phoebe's unborn child into evil. Returning in the season 9 comics, the Source has his minions murder the innocents saved by the Charmed Ones to revive himself once more, before [[DrivenToMadness driving San Francisco insane]] and trying to wipe out the Charmed Ones once and for all. The evilest demon in existence with a rap sheet that spans millennia, the Source of All Evil truly lives up to his name.

* "[[Recap/CharmedS3E11BlindedByTheWhitelighter Blinded by the Whitelighter]]": [[EvilSorcerer Eames]] is a sadistic and intelligent Warlock who's been [[VictorGainsLosersPowers killing witches for their special powers]] for decades. Acquiring various abilities, Eames makes plans to use them as a way to enter the heavens. Eames then plans to massacre all Whitelighters and then, with their witch charges unguarded, wipe them all out as well in a [[FinalSolution genocide]].

Finding troubled athletes, Kellman subjects them to [[TrainingFromHell nightmarish training]] where death awaits failure. For each graduate, the final step into demonhood is the murder of an innocent, often a loved one, as seen when he tries to force Prue's ex-boyfriend Tom into murdering his own mother, with a vast legacy of successful Demons for the Source's army behind him. When bested, Kellman attempts to murder Tom's mother himself out of sheer spite.

When one of his victims escapes and tries to get help, Roget has him captured and instead tricks the Charmed Ones into freeing him so he can now enjoy his freedom at the cost of innocents.
