Nicholas



Nicholas was a powerful warlock who, in 1999, went after the Charmed Ones for their powers. HistoryFirst AttackNicholas tricked Patty Halliwell, the Charmed Ones' mother, into his apartment when she was pregnant with Phoebe. He had made her believe that Victor, the Charmed Ones' father called her to meet with him. He forced her to give up her daughters' powers to him in return for sparing her life. He also forced her to bless a ring that gave him immunity to the Charmed Ones' powers. After being tipped off by the grown-up Charmed Ones, Grams cast a spell to bind the Charmed Ones' powers shortly after Phoebe was born. Discovering this, Nicholas used his Glamouring power to magically age himself and pose as a would-be suitor for Grams. Each year he would appear on the same day with a vase of flowers for her at exactly twelve noon. In the middle of the clock's gong, he would drop the flowers to see if one of the Charmed Ones would freeze it before the vase broke.When showed up in 1999, a year after Grams' death, Piper froze the vase just as he dropped it. When he unfroze, he realized that the Charmed Ones had their powers and tried to take them. He was eventually killed via the spell their Grams made up to help them kill him after they went back in time. ReturnIn 1999, he was resurrected by Abraxas, a demon of the Astral Plane. Abraxas stole the Book of Shadows and started reversing all the spells in it in an attempt to demonize the sister's powers. When Abraxas recited the Nicholas Must Die Spell backwards, Nicholas was brought back from the dead.Nicholas then attacked Prue Halliwell in her office at Buckland Auction House but Prue was able to re-vanquish him with a spell. This time, a potion was not necessary. ("Witch Trial") Powers & AbilitiesNicholas' main power was Thermovariance, also known as Blood Boiling, a variant of the Touch of Death. He used it to fry people's organs and blood, burning them up from the inside out. He was powerful enough that he didn't have to be touching his victims in order to burn them. He could channel this power through his hand or through his ring. With the latter, he could burn multiple people's blood. He also had the power to glamour; besides aging himself over the years. It's probable he had the power to manipulate his voice, since he convinced Patty he was Victor and managed to lure Patty into a trap.Additionally, when he forced Patty to bless his ring, he became immune to the Charmed Ones' powers.
