Elder (Charmed)


This article lists magical beings in the U.S. television series Charmed (1998-2006), broadcast on the now-defunct TV network The WB. In its eight-year run, the writing staff led by show runner, head writer, and executive producer Brad Kern adapted fantasy, horror, and folklore into a fictional universe that was recognizable as being like contemporary society, but with a hidden group of magical users altering between good and evil practitioners. The forces of good are called "witches" in the Charmed universe, and there are a number of allied good character types and three main evil types of character races. The magical beings are described, below, using in-universe tone.

Avatars are an ancient group of magical beings who can bend the very fabric of time. The Avatars tortured Leo Wyatt, with floating heads, to get him to join their collective. Once Leo joins them, the Charmed Ones trust the Avatars strengthening the collective and helping the Avatars to create Utopia. The Charmed ones then realized Utopia was not what they imagined it would be.

The Cleaners are secretive beings operating under the authority of a joint council of upper-level demons and elders (The Tribunal) who are sworn to, and are charged with, keeping magic secret from humankind. They initially appeared in the season six episode "Forget Me...Not" cleaning up a magic-gone-wild situation when, after seeing one on television, Baby Wyatt conjured a flying fire breathing dragon which disrupted downtown San Francisco and created a press firestorm. They removed him from existence then erased everyone's memories of him. This was part of their "after task action items" to prevent future exposures that would also require cleaning up: in short, they took the stance that the Charmed Ones, and especially Piper, could not prevent Baby Wyatt from conjuring another fire-breathing dragon, or perhaps something worse. Removing Wyatt from Earth would prevent future exposure of magic.
