The Warren Line

The **Warren Line** is the lineage of witches to which the Halliwell and Mitchell families belong. The line started with Melinda Warren, daughter of Charlotte Warren, in the late 17th century. They are the most powerful line of witches in history.

One of the things that have made the Charmed Ones and all witches in the line so strong is their bond as a family. This is particularly noteworthy in the Charmed Ones, three sister witches, whose powers are directly linked to their bond as sisters. Many demons have discovered that the key to weakening them is by breaking their bonds as sisters.

The bond of family is important to all Halliwells, such as Penny Halliwell, the Charmed Ones' grandmother. She had fallen in love with *the Necromancer*, who offered her the opportunity to be brought back to life so they could live together at the cost of alienating her family and sacrificing generations of magical spirits. Though she appeared tempted, under a truth spell she told him that while she loved him, she loved her family more, then vanquished him.

Phoebe Halliwell found a way to draw power from the witches of the Warren line. In order to vanquish the Source of All Evil, she wrote a spell to invoke the power of the entire line by invoking the names of powerful ancestors. This spell was powerful enough to vanquish the Source twice, though not strong enough to vanquish *Barbas* once he possessed the powers of Cole Turner.

Pip Muniz-Halliwell absorbed the souls of his mother, his aunts and many deceased Warren witches to vanquish the demon, Juno. After the vanquish he released the souls and those who were deceased returned to the afterlife as those alive returned to their bodies.

Starting with Patty Halliwell keeping her last name and giving it to her children, the family has had matrilineal tendencies. Piper Halliwell and Phoebe Halliwell also kept their last names on marriage and passed the name onto their children.

The "P" tradition started with the cousins from the 20´s and remains until the next generation. Despite all of them, but the boys, receive "P" names only three are called by them: P.J. Halliwell and Parker Halliwell. The others use the middle name. Though there is one boy who has a "P" name: Pip Muniz-Halliwell.

Since 1898 the family house is the Halliwell Manor. By 2015 only Piper, Leo and their children live there while Phoebe, Coop and their daughters and Paige, Henry and their kids live in their own homes. Pip lives at the Manor since his mother and stepfather's condo is full, but also to have immediate access to the Book of Shadows and potion and ritual items.

The modern-day Warrens are the Halliwell and Mitchell Families.

### The Warren Witches

*The powerful line of witches descended from Melinda Warren, a seventeenth century witch that was burned at the stake. The Warren Witches grew stronger with each generation until Patricia Halliwell gave birth to The Charmed Ones, a trio of sisters prophesied to be the most powerful witches the world has ever known. The line continues with their offspring, beginning with Piper's sons, Wyatt and Chris, who have journeyed from the future on occasion to help the current generation.*
## The Warren Family Tree

### Notable Members

**Charlotte Warren** originally began the Warren Line of Witches. She was a witch practitioner and had a daughter with LawrenceCutler. She lived in Colonial Virginia. By the end of her pregnancy, she was kidnapped by an evil practitioner named *Ruth Cobb* who sought to use the baby's powers for darkness instead of for good. Charlotte was rescued by the Charmed Ones on October 31, 1670, the day Melinda was born.

**Melinda Warren** (October 31, 1670-1692) was a exceptionally powerful witch born with three powers: Telekinesis, Molecular Immobilization and Premonition. She married William Jackson and had a daughter and a son. Melinda was the one who created the Book of Shadows. *Matthew Tate*, her lover, exposed Melinda as a witch after he copied her powers. She avenged herself by condemning him to be imprisoned for all eternity in the very locket that he had given her. Though she could have used her powers to escape the pyre, Melinda allowed herself to burn so that her daughter would be safe from persecution and could go on to continue the Warren line. Before dying, Melinda prophesied that each of her descendants would grow stronger and stronger, culminating in three sisters who would be the most powerful good witches ever to walk the earth--the Charmed Ones. Though in 2015, another Warren descendant, Pip Muniz-Halliwell, would lead the Blessed Ones--whose combined power would surpass that of the Charmed Ones. She was one of the many Warren souls to aid Pip in vanquishing the demon Juno.

## Traditions

### The P Tradition

The "P" tradition started with the three cousins from the 1920s, and continued throughout the generations until the Next Generation. While four of the Charmed daughters were given "P" names, only two, P.J. and Parker, go by their first name, while the other two go by their middle name. Though P.J. is only an abbreviation. One Charmed son, Pip, was also given a "P" name and he does go by first name, but he shortens it because his first name is normally a female name.

### Keeping the Namesake

Another tradition in the Warren Line is that the Halliwell women keep their last name, instead of taking their husbands name. The tradition started with Patricia Halliwell when she kept her last name of "Halliwell" and passed it on to her daughters. This tradition was later broken by both Paige Matthews (who didn't hold the Halliwell name) and Phoebe Halliwell. Paige's children have their father's surname, "Mitchell". Phoebe's son, Pip, has the Halliwell last name but also has his father's surname; since Pip had lived with his father throughout his entire childhood.

### Family Home

*Main article: Halliwell Manor*
Located on 1329 Prescott Street, the manor has been the family house since 1898. By 2015 Piper, Leo, their children had lived there with Pip Muniz-Halliwell. While Phoebe, Coop and their daughters live in a condo. However, Piper and Leo decided that Pip should be living with his mother, stepfather and sisters; not his aunt, uncle and cousins. So Piper (with agreement from Coop and Phoebe) asked the Elders if they could switch their belongings between the two houses. Now Pip lives with his immediate family in the Manor. Paige, Henry and their children live in a house, somewhere in the city of San Francisco.

The manor contains many possessions and artifacts of ancestors and family members, the oldest presumably being the blessing cup of Melinda Warren. Other objects include Polina Bowen's camera, Peri Russell's couch and Penny Halliwell's sewing machine. Additionally, many portraits and photographs of family members are kept in the manor and are displayed in various places of the house.

## Notes and Trivia

* The Warren line has a family tree, though the tree is known to contain many errors. Similarly, the Warren line has been expanded through the *Charmed Novels*, which are considered non-canon.
* The Rowe line of warlocks could be considered an evil counterpart to the Warren Line of Witches. Both family lines were prophesied to give birth to powerful forces of good and evil respectively.
* Witches of the Warren Line are invoked in spells such as To Call Upon Our Ancestors and To Call the Halliwell Matriarchs. In both of these spells, the name Halliwell is used instead of Warren.
* Colvin is the second known Warren to be on the side of evil, the other being Peri Russell, Phoebe Halliwell‘s past life. Phoebe is also Colvin‘s mother which makes it ironic.
* Colvin is also the Source of All Evil marking this as the first time two Warren witches have to battle each other: Pip and Colvin are to fight each other in a big battle.
