Benjamin "Ben" Halliwell

**Benjamin "Ben" Halliwell** is the son of Ice "Prime" Halliwell and Billie Jensen, and the older twin brother of Matthew Halliwell.

## History

(History prior to finding Ice Prime will be filled in as Story Arc 14 is released.)

### Finding Ice Prime

On January 16, 2016, Ice Prime and Charmcaster fought and he was almost killed by Charmcaster if not for Gwen's last minute save. She kidnapped Ice Prime and locked him in a spelled cage. Seeing as how he was gone for almost a day, Irvin and Billie already had been casting a locator spell to find Ice Prime. They managed to find him by using Matt's blood and channeling Ben's magic, courtesy of Tara's suggestion. Irvin and Billie left to rescue Ice Prime and Tara stayed to look after them.

### Taken care by Katherine

On February 7, 2016, Irvin foresaw the birth of a creature with the abilities of a Witch, a Werewolf, a Vampire and a Fairy. The creature used magic against all of them, including their children, in the vision. Irvin invited Katherine over to the Magic School to bring David, Ben and Matt to her apartment to take care of them while they travel to Mykdl'dy to stop the Skwitches' plan.

After Katherine returned to the Magic School, it is presumed that the three children were brought along as well.

After the attack during the Avengers' prize presentation on June 4, 2016, Katherine and Tara stayed on earth so that Katherine can take care of the three children and the then pregnant Tara.

### Encounter with the Phoenix

On April 18, 2035, Ben was on an unofficial date with his friend Alex Stafford. As they walk past an alley, Ben saw Drake Finn, Ryder Wolf and Deanne Webb teleport into that alley. They were apparently cloaked from everyone, so Alex was not able to see them. The three of them were apparently handling a transaction with a demon. Deanne went after Ben and Alex and killed Alex before concealing his body with a spell. She was about to kill Ben too, but Drake convinced her to retreat as they were getting outnumbered. The three of them retreated with the pair of Adamantine Katanas they obtained.

Ben immediately went home and sought his parents for help, but David told him that all of the adults were at Magic School for an important meeting. Ben told his siblings, David and Dan what happened, and Christy and David decided to investigate the next day.

The next day, Ben brought Christy and David to the alley so that they could get a vision of the three attackers. They received a vision of them casting a locator spell and concluded that they're either Witches with stolen demonic powers or Demons with stolen witch powers. Seokyu Beoseu, one of the people with Drake, Ryder and Deanne, arrived, explaining that they're neither. They're known as the Phoenix Assassins. They're trained to fight like demons but they can also do magic, more specifically, witchcraft. Beoseu knows that they do not trust her, so she invited the three of them into their academy for a visit. They decided to go with Beoseu as they could possibly unravel whatever evil plans they're up to using their gift of foresight.

At the Phoenix Academy, Beoseu introduced them to the other Phoenix which includes Drake, Ryder, Deanne, Minato Kimura and the headmaster Stephan Zwart. While they were exploring the academy, demons suddenly invaded the academy. The three witches ended up intervening and summoning Dan and Matt. Together, the three Jensen siblings cast a spell that's supposed to block everything "akin" to "evil magic", unintentionally disabling David's demonic powers and the entrance/exit of the academy. They ended up trapping themselves in the academy.

After failing to return David's powers while keeping the entrance/exit sealed the next day, they decided to just undo the spell they cast the previous day. Ben decided to return to the academy, glamoured by a spell, to go undercover as a spy to find out what the Phoenixes are up to. Unfortunately, Beoseu read their minds while David's powers were down and knew what they were going to do.

### Going Undercover

Ben decided to go undercover as the alias "Kris Jackson" and managed to "impress" Stephan when they fought. He was instantly recruited into the Phoenix Academy and started training with the other elite Phoenixes. Just 2 days after he joined them, he completed his training and officially became a Phoenix with Amy Lee. They had to inject them with a serum in order to officially become a Phoenix.

Ben's first mission with the other Phoenixes was to slay the Vampire Queen. However, the Vampire Queen sensed that Ben was flowing with magic. Deanne shot a supercharged energy ball towards the Vampire Queen, but Drake was getting ready to stab her. The energy ball hit Drake and he was severely injured. Deanne blamed "Kris" for Drake's injury and confronted him afterwards back at the Phoenix Academy, revealing that they all know his real identity. After torturing him, Ben was brought to Beoseu and Stephan as Beoseu attempted to wipe Ben's mind. Beoseu accidentally revealed that she was turning Ben evil and wiped Stephan's mind of that. Amy overheard their conversation and realized that Beoseu is a demon. She tried to stop Beoseu, but was apparently mind wiped by her. Beoseu seemingly successfully made Ben evil.

When Ben woke up, he realized that Amy and him had switched bodies. Amy explained that she tried to undo the Beoseu's mindwipe, but Beoseu tried to stop her. With the three of them in contact, it created a "psychic short circuit", causing them to switch bodies. Amy then used her Chi powers to make it seem like her aura is evil and tricked Beoseu into thinking that she successfully mindwiped "Ben". Amy also cleansed Ben's body of the serum he was forced to inject into his body with her Chi powers. Amy told Ben that they have to switch their bodies back immediately as Amy's body did not have any other powers for Ben to use and explained that the ability to manipulate Chi is part of her martial arts skills. It is more of a skill than an extension of her body, which was why Ben was unable to manipulate Chi in Amy's body. Amy, in Ben's body, then cast a spell to switch their powers back. Just as Amy was finishing the spell, Drake walked into their room and as a result his powers were switched as well. Ben (in Amy's body) had Drake's powers and Drake had Ben's witch powers. Ben (in Amy's body) created a portal and escaped just in time before Beoseu could stop them.

They arrived at the Halliwell Apartment, and a short fight ensued. In the end, Drake was trapped in a force field, an invention created from a mix of science and magic. Dan picked the Adamantine Katanas up and accidentally set nearby furniture on fire, despite not having any powers.

### Vanquishing Beoseu

Drake was brought to the Magic School after they switched their bodies and powers back and wanted to thank Ben for bringing him away from the Phoenix Academy before Beoseu could mindwipe him as well if he wasn't trapped in the force field. Drake told them that the katanas are made out of adamantine, a rare metal that has magical properties that varies from wielder to wielder. One base property that the katanas has regardless of the wielder is that no reality warpers can even wish another pair of admantine katanas into existence. It is one of a kind. When Dan held the katanas, because he had no innate magical powers as the Skwitches stole his powers even before he was born, the katanas grants him his missing powers. Just than, Ice Prime and Tara arrived, hearing the commotion they made. They pretended to be looking for information about adamantine, grabbed a book and left.

Back at the apartment, Drake wondered why they didn't inform the adults about Beoseu and the Phoenix Academy. Ben insensitively told him that he wouldn't understand the concept of not wanting their parents to worry because Drake is an orphan. Drake was infuriated and emotionally lashed out at Ben, telling him that his parents were killed trying to protect him. Not long after that, Beoseu, Minato, Ryder and Stephan arrived and attacked them. Christy was electrocuted, but recovered thanks to Amy's help. They realized that Deanne was missing, and tried to get Beoseu and the other Phoenixes what happened to her. The Phoenixes were trapped in the force field. Drake tried torturing them to get them to spill the beans, but Ben stopped him before he could cut off Stephan's arm, unintentionally releasing an energy shockwave, setting them free.

On April 28, 2035, Drake went to the Underworld with David to try to find Beoseu. They chatted and got acquainted, but were interrupted by a demon. Drake vanquished the demon and they found Beoseu performing a demonic ritual with Stephan and Ryder. Stephan blasted David with a time beam and froze him in time. Drake then revealed that he was all along a real witch and unfroze David with a spell. David summoned his brother and the three Jensen witches. Ben grabbed Beoseu's grimoire as an explosion occurred. All of them were shrunk in size, and Stephan managed to capture them.

Ben was trapped in a cage with Drake. As they tried to converge their magic, they accidentally released a huge explosion and blew the entire cage apart. Minato and Ryder showed up and attacked them, and in the process hurt Drake. Ben tried to cast a spell to teleport them away, and with the help of Drake, managed to do so. However, Drake transferred some of his magic to Ben, leaving himself drained while Ben's magic was not as drained as him. Stephan appeared and attacked them. Ben called upon the power of his ancestors and managed to send him away to another universe/timeline with a powerful spell that nearly drained the Jensen bloodline of all of its magic. Unfortunately, Stephan returned almost instantaneously. Christy and David found them. David tapped into the powers of his paternal lineage and bound Stephan's powers. Christy injected David with a serum, allowing David to remain in control and subdue his demonic side. The four of them fled and entered a room, but they were too small to close the door shut. Christy and David transferred their magic to Ben and Drake. Converging their magic, they managed to close the door telekinetically.

Beoseu was unfortunately behind those doors and they were then trapped in the room with her. She had tied Matt, Dan, Amy and Deanne to the wall and had already brainwashed Deanne to be evil. Beoseu then turned everyone back to their normal size and telepathically assaulted David, triggering him to transform into his demonic form. Ice Prime, Irvin and Tara then arrived. Tara injected David with the serum, Irvin encased Stephan and Ryder in crystals as Tara vanquished Beoseu by tapping into the power of the Summers bloodline. Tara "unbrainwashed" Deanne with a non-verbal spell and they all returned to Magic School.

### The Slither

That night, back at the apartment, the five of them were scolded for being reckless. Ice Prime called Drake a liar, angering Ben. Ben Orbbed into the Phoenix Academy to find Drake and asked if they could spend the night together as he had to get away from home. Ben and Drake did a simple spell to test their synchronicity, but their spell was disrupted by the sudden surge of dark magic flowing through the academy. Ben returned home the next morning telling his siblings, David and Dan that he sensed dark magic the previous night. Drake arrived with Amy and Deanne, seeking for help. A worm-like demon had taken over the other Phoenixes or turned them evil. Using the Demoncyclopedia from Magic School, they identified the demon as the Slither. Unfortunately, Dan, David and Matt already had a Slither possessing them. They attacked Ben and the others, but Ben managed to subdue them with a sleeping spell and contained them in the force field. They found out that Slither demons live inside their human host. Once inside their human hosts, they will seek out Witches and kill them. They secrete a kind of chemical that stays in the human body for a few hours before being excreted out each time they change a host of when they first hatch. It has no effect on humans but are basically drugs to magical beings that enhances their powers, but are toxic when exposed to them for long periods of time or in high concentrations, which was why Dan was able to use his powers when he was possessed by a Slither.

David woke up the first and walked right through the force field unknowingly. They realized that since succubi are weak against fire, Slither demons will be too. And because of David's demonic and wiccan fire powers, his blood is just like fire to the Slithers. Unfortunately, the Slither depossessed him and went into Matt, who was able to phase through the force field containing him and attacked the others. David incinerated Matt's insides while Amy healed him with her Chi, driving the Slither out of Matt, but into Dan. Dan, overwhelmed by his magnified powers, flew into a rage and levitated the entire house up into the air. Amy, Deanne, David, Ben and Drake tried to stop him but to no avail. Dan used his psychic powers and psychically destroyed David's mind. As a last resort, Ben orbbed the 3 Slither demons out of Dan's body. One of the Slither demons leaped towards him, but Deanne managed to slice it into two by throwing a dagger towards it. The two halves of the demon regenerate into two Slithers. Luckily, Ben quickly orbbed the four Slithers into the cages. Dan then started having a withdrawal symptom and started spasming out and loses control of his magnified powers. Ben managed to cast a sleeping spell on Dan, but he releases the telekinetic grasp on the house, causing it to plunge straight to the ground. Just at the nick of time, Billie, Tara, Sky and Irvin arrived and landed the house gently with their powers. Billie demanded for an explanation, but then sees Dan and David in a coma.

With Dan's internal injuries, Ben, Drake and Amy tried to fix him up. As Drake and Ben linked hands, Amy noticed them glowing and theorized that it wasn't only because of the convergence magic. There was a prophecy stating that "the union of the love between the oldest Jensen twin and his/her lover will create an extremely powerful form of magic". Meaning that if Ben was straight, his children would be extremely powerful. However, since Ben isn't, the "union" in the prophecy now meant that the union of Ben and his lover's magic. So when Ben and Drake touched each other, it wasn't because they were not in sync. It was because of their attraction for each other.

While Christy was fixing David's shattered mind, Amy, Ben and Drake finished healing Dan's internal injuries and Amy purged as much of the Slither's chemicals out of Dan as she could. Ben and Drake were left alone in the room with Dan. Just as Ben was asking Drake out on a date that night, Dan woke up, revealing that he heard everything despite being in a coma. Dan told them that he fully support them being together.

Matt and Deanne were at the laboratory doing some research on the chemical compound the Slither secreted. Ben arrived at the lab and upon Matt's request, separated the chemical compound from a small sample of Matt's blood. Stephan arrived and took the test tube of the "Slither drug", but Drake was able to stop him by slitting his neck and stabbing his heart. Stephan reversed time, and managed to get away before Drake could kill him. With his enhanced time powers, they were not sure how they could stop him...

### Trying to stop Stephan

That night, in Ben's room, Drake asked Ben if it was a date and Ben replied with "if you want it to be", reminding Ben of what Alex said when they went on their first unofficial date. Their date was cut short when Stephan arrived with Ryder. He reversed time to get a full moon. Ryder, being a werewolf, started to transform into his werewolf form. Stephan injected Ryder with a whole lot of synthetic Blackout (the "Slither drug"), causing Ryder to go on a rampage. Ryder attacked Drake, and Ben had to tap into dark magic and cast a spell to stop Ryder's heart, killing him. Stephan reversed Ryder's death and fast forwarded time and disappeared. Matt barged into Ben's room to find out what the commotion was about, just to see Ben healing Drake's wound.

In order to catch Stephan by surprise to stop him, they decided to cast a spell to link the five of them together, with David channeling dark magic, Christy channeling white magic, Dan channeling fire magic from the Summers bloodline and Ben and Matt channeling traditional magic from the Jensen bloodline. This would allow them to be five times stronger, allowing them to take down Stephan. They teleported into the Phoenix Academy and Matt blew Stephan apart but his particles started to reform. Minato and Ryder attacked the others while David blasts a Slither out of Stephan. Ben sensed that Stephan was still evil, and he revealed that there were three more Slithers still in him. Matt tried to blow him up again, but Stephan reversed time. With Christy and David's precognitive powers, they figured out what was happening. David and Ben attacked Stephan, but he reversed time again. This time, they figured it out a little faster. However, Minato injected Ryder with a syringe full of Blackout, causing Ryder to transform into his enhanced Werewolf form and he plunged his paw into Christy's stomach as the same wound appeared on the others as well. However, with their combined magic, they healed quickly. Unfortunately, Stephan reversed time to when they hadn't cast the linking spell yet. Just before David finishes the spell, Stephan attacked him, causing the others to be injured as well. Professor Paradox intervened and managed to chase Stephan away.

Billie and the other adults returned and scolded them once again. Billie decided to bind Ben and the others' powers and proceeded to cast a spell. Matt saw a Slither demon going down from Billie's arm towards Ben and disrupted the spell. Just then, Gwendolyn arrived and knocked Ice Prime, Billie, Tara and Sky out. She teleported the others to her castle.

Christy and David called upon the powers of the Jensen bloodline, the Summers bloodline and David's paternal demonic bloodline and trapped Stephan's powers in a lantern. Gwendolyn, Deanne and Amy stayed behind to protect the two of them as Ben, Matt and Irvin went to the Phoenix Academy. Ben managed to transfer a Slither demon from Ryder into his own body. In order to get the four Slithers out of Stephan, Ben flooded his insides with water, suffocating him. However, the four Slithers were flushed out and vanquished by Ben, without killing Stephan. They left Stephan there alone, but unbeknownst to them, one Slither still remains in Stephan's body.

### Training to defeat Stephan

Back at Gwendolyn's tower, they thought of ways to get the Slither to depossess Ben. Amy's too weak to heal him if David were to incinerate his insides. David knew the spell to get the Slither to possess him instead, but the spell requires a specific kind of magic to work -- Chaos magic. Scarlet Witch arrived before she knocked Gwendolyn out with a chaos magic hex bolt just for fun. She had a talisman that constantly pulsates Order magic that drives Slithers insane. Just by bringing it near Ben, the talisman forced the Slither out of his body and was vanquished by Matt. Drake realized that the chaos magic was the same kind of magic that disrupted the spell Ben and Drake were doing to test their synchronicity. As they were debating on how they should deal with Stephan, Wanda went out of control briefly, but managed to calm herself down.

They decided that those with little to no powers will train under a certain "martial arts expert expert" -- Amy. (Dan claimed to be a martial arts expert and Amy's clearly better than him). Wanda gave a portion of her chaos magic to Ben as they tried to hone their convergence magic. Wanda lent the Order Crystal to David and Matt so that they could force the Slithers out of the adults.

After the Slithers were forced out of the adults, they sought shelter in Gwendolyn's tower as well. Billie was shocked to find out that Gwendolyn had Wanda grant Ben a portion of her chaos magic, but Gwendolyn assures her that he wouldn't go mad and that it had to be done due to the prophecy stating that they are the most powerful together.

The martial arts training was interrupted when Beoseu returned, possessing a witch's body. She psychically assaulted David, forcing him to transform into his demonic form. Beoseu telepathically cloaked herself, while Ben tried to calm David by getting his attention. Matt thought it was too dangerous putting himself right in front of David and pinned David to the wall. Irvin managed to calm David down with his Star Sapphire ring powers. Wanda, Irvin, Sky, Tara, David and Dan went to the Phoenix Academy to save Christy while the others tracked Beoseu down. Ice Prime found a puddle of the witch's blood on the floor and managed to Orb Beoseu to him. Ice Prime managed to trap Beoseu's spirit in a containment device with a spell and revealed that he was able to Orb her to him because she's from his bloodline. She was Ben, Matt and Christy's long lost sister -- Katerina.

The six who went to rescue Christy returned with an unconscious Stephan, with his powers disabled by Wanda's hex. However, Stephan revealed that Beoseu, in Katerina's body, surrounded the castle in Katerina's blood, which was linked to Christy's magic, which meant that the entire castle was filled with Whitelighter magic, which was the closest thing to Order magic, which negates Chaos magic. Stephan then grabbed Ryder's corpse and Minato's unconscious body and cast a spell to merge them together, turning Ryder and Minato into a mystical armor. David blasted him with a fireball which had no effect on him. Katerina tried assaulting his mind psychically, but the armor protected him from psychic attacks. Ben and Drake then tried to wish him out of existence, but that had no effect on him as well as he was too powerful. He also revealed that they were powerful only because of their convergence magic, not because of the prophecy. It turns out that Matt was the older twin, and not Ben, just that everyone thought Ben was the older twin, so the prophecy applied to Matt and not Ben. Stephan injected himself with Blackout and used Minato's powers to release an omni-directional blast, causing the castle to start collapsing. Katerina threatened Stephan to reverse time or she would release Beoseu's spirit into the afterlife. Stephan blasted her with an energy blast, but that caused her to drop the containment device, sending Beoseu's spirit into the afterlife. Stephan then cast a spell to bind their teleportation powers to Wanda, meaning that as long as Wanda is alive, nobody could Orb, Beam or open portals. Channeling all of the magic from the Jensen and the Summers bloodline, Ben and Drake sent Stephan to another universe, Earth-9168. As Billie tried to convince Katerina to stay, she declined, stating that she is evil and the family wouldn't want her, before telekinetically snapping Gwendolyn's neck and telepathically cloaking herself as she walked away from her long lost family.

## Powers and Abilities

Ben is a powerful Jensen witch, having powers that surpass those of his mother's, and probably even that of his great-grandmother's. As with (almost) all Jensen witches, Ben specializes in telekinesis. In addition to his strong telekinetic powers, by converging his magic with another witch whose mind must be in sync with him, he and the said witch are able to manipulate reality to a limited extent. So far, the only witch whom he has successfully converged his magic with is Drake.

He was able to recover fairly quickly when he drained most of the magic from his family line when he attempted to send Stephan away to another universe magically.
