The Warren Line

**The Warren Line** is a line of witches to which the Halliwell, Mitchell, and Grimes families belong to. Melinda Warren was the first of this line. She was born in October 31, 1670, daughter of Charlotte Warren and Lawrence Cutler, both mortals. Before dying, Melinda Warren prophesied the arrival of three powerful witches: The Charmed Ones. The Charmed Ones summoned Melinda from the afterlife to help them curse Matthew Tate back into her locket. Before she left, Phoebe placed Melinda's hand on her chest which triggered a premonition of more generations of her beautiful daughters. Well, daughters and sons.

The Warren Line is full of powerful witches. Some of them are: Prudence Warren (Melinda´s daughter) and her daughter Cassandra Wentworth, Brianna Bowen, the well known cousins from the 20´s (P. Bowen, P. Baxter and P. Russell), Grams or Penny Halliwell and her daughter Patty Halliwell, her children Prue Halliwell, Piper Halliwell, Phoebe Halliwell, Paige Matthews and their children, Wyatt Halliwell, Chris Halliwell, Melinda Halliwell, P.J. Halliwell, Parker Halliwell, Patience Halliwell, Tamora Mitchell, Kat Mitchell and Henry Mitchell Junior. Additionally there's Amanda Bowen and her daughter Lori Grimes, and her son Carl Grimes (the Hand and leader of the Pentad.)

The witches in the Warren Line are especially powerful because of their bond as a family, once their powers are directly linked to their bond as a family. Many demons came to find that the key to weaken this family of witches is by breaking their bonds as a family. The bond as a family is important to the entire Halliwell/Mitchell and Grimes families. Also, this bond is important because allows them to draw powers from the Warren line. This comes in handy when it comes to destroys demons as the Source of All Evil.

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, Parker Halliwell and Patience Halliwell. The others use the middle name.

Another tradition in the Warren Line is that Patty Halliwell kept her last name and gave it to her children. This tradition was only broke by both Paige Matthews and Piper Halliwell. Both sisters kept their last names, but their children were given non-P names.

Since 1898 the family house is the Halliwell Manor. By 2011 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.

The modern-day Warrens are the Halliwell and Grimes 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.*

### 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 and the B.O.S Athame. 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.

## The Manor

*Main article: Halliwell Manor*
**Halliwell Manor** is a Victorian style manor located on 1329 Prescott Street, San Francisco. The original structure was built in 1898, and was rebuilt in 1906 after it was destroyed in the great San Francisco earthquake. The manor has been in the Warren Line for four generations, the first generation being Gordon Johnson and his wife Pacifica Baxter. The Halliwell Manor was built on a Spiritual Nexus and has been the seat of power for the Charmed Ones since their awakening in 1998.

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 P. Bowen's camera, P. Russell's couch and Penny Halliwell's sewing machine. Additionally, many portraits and photographs of family members are kept in the manor. These were displayed in the staircase, though by 2050, they had been replaced with photos of the Charmed Ones, their parents and children.

## 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.
