Vivienne Laurent

## Supernatural Information

**Vivienne Laurent** was the aunt of Julian Shea, a powerful influencer of the Shea Group and a leading member of the Faction. She was also the latest Conqueror, a human being with thirst for claiming magic and destroying the world. She orchestrated the capture and murder of numerous magical creatures in order to steal their magic before finally being vanquished when she attempted to siphon the Power of Three from the Vera-Vaughn Charmed Ones as such power is too much for one being to handle, causing her to seemingly overload and explode.

## History

### Early Life

Vivienne took custody of her nephew Julian when his parents were killed in a car accident. She was a very caring guardian, but as Julian got older she began to interfere with all sorts of his romantic relationships for unknown reasons, and at some point he noticed this.

Recently after the Elders' death, Vivienne accompanied Julian on his quest to prove the existence of magic by finding Jimmy and began using him to help her avenge her family's death.

### Throughout the Series

* Season 2
* Season 3

In "*Dance Like No One is Witching*", Vivienne showed up at the family lodge in Aspen, where she met Macy Vaughn whom had spent the night with Julian Shea. Despite Julian's affection toward Macy, Vivienne was later shown to be very distrustful of her. When Macy later asked to borrow the Shea Group's newly developed device that could determine bacteria sources to save Harry's life, Vivienne questioned her motives, thinking her to be a secret agent who wanted to mimic the technology. In spite of Macy's explanation, Vivienne demanded her to stop seeing Julian in exchange for the device, to which she complied. Julian realized this to be his aunt's doing and reconciled with Macy.

In "*Sudden Death*", Vivienne was shown at a meeting where she showed the other attendants the talisman that Ray Vera had stolen from the Vera Manor during Marisol Vera's funeral. Vivienne exclaimed that it was time to destroy magic.

In "*Search Party*", Macy, Maggie Vera and Jordan Chase attended a party at the Shea Group in order to break into the secret basement where Harry was held captive. Jordan stole Vivienne's glass of wine to obtain the saliva needed for a potion to mimic her voice and gain access to the elevator. Meanwhile, Vivienne met with Ivan, an acolyte of her sponsors, who demanded a demonstration of the product she had promised. She then showed him the basement facility, only for Macy, Maggie and Jordan to escape the party before it could be completed. However, Vivienne noticed a speck of magic above the machine, which she decided to put to use.

In "*Unsafe Space*", Vivienne and Julian ordered the group to break into the Command Center underneath SafeSpace, Seattle in order to get to the black amber tree. Julian was having doubts because of Macy, but Vivienne reminded him of their cause by taking him to see his comatose sister, Rosemary Shea, in the hospital. There, she placed a few drops of black amber into Rosemary's mouth, which seemed to have revived her for a few seconds before she fell back into her coma. In the end, Julian agreed to bring Macy and have her open the Command Center to the tree.

In "*An Inconvenient Truth*", Vivienne was shown with Nadia when someone arrives with a briefcase. Vivienne opened it, though it is not seen what is inside, and looked on with victory. Nadia commented that magic will belong to humans, with Vivienne correcting that it will belong to "us."

In "*Someone's Going to Die*", Vivienne revealed the object in the suitcase to Ivan: a glove device containing a prism which held all of the absorbed powers of the various magical creatures killed by the Faction inside of it. She then demonstrated by petrifying Ivan to scare him into obligance. Later, when she figured out Nadia was Julian in disguise, she petrified half of his body and left him for dead, chancing that Macy would come to his rescue. When she did, Vivienne read Macy's mind to gain access into the Command Center.

Vivienne blasted open the secret door with powerful energy that knocked out everyone present, then invaded the vault guarding the black amber tree. When she touched the substance, it turned green (as a human's touch would poison it and the magical world). In the process, it made her monstrous while giving her more power. She then confronted the Charmed Ones, wanting the Power of Three. When the three sisters attacked Vivienne with their powers, the glove siphoned them. However, they continued to blast Vivienne until the glove eventually overloaded and self-destructed along with Vivienne as the Power of Three was too much for one being to handle. Her death was reported as a lab accident that killed both her and Julian.

## Personality

Vivienne is shown to be a loving person while in her nephew's presence. However, she could be as cruel and ruthless as she could be manipulative, making her wanting of Macy Vaughn to break up with Julian seem to be that of familial concern; she was also willing to induce her brain dead niece with zolpidem to trick Julian into helping her with her cause and killing her nephew when he worked against her. Vivienne was also a very suspicious person who did not believe in Macy's integrity, believing that she was going out with Julian only for the sake of his riches and corporate espionage.

Also, as the Conqueror, Vivienne had an intense hatred of magical creatures, vowing that she and her organization are the only ones who would be able to destroy it. She sought to claim magic for herself, then use it to destroy the magical world even if it meant killing ordinary humans or reanimating dead corpses.

## Physical Appearance

Vivienne Laurent was a white woman in her forties or fifties with long auburn hair and dark blue eyes.

## Powers and Abilities

In "*Someone's Going to Die*", Vivienne put on the Prism, a special device that looked like an iron glove with a crystal. She used it to wield the powers contained within, and to siphon magic directly into the device. She also supercharged herself using black amber. Despite having been stated to have siphoned the magic of various beings, Vivienne was only shown using the following powers:

* **Siphoning:** The ability to absorb magical powers. Vivienne utilized this ability through a prism glove.
	+ **Petrification:** The ability to turn matter to stone. Vivienne used this power on Ivan in order to scare him into compliance and later killed Julian with this power.
	+ **Smoking:** The ability to teleport through a puff of smoke.
	+ **Mind Melding:** The ability to read minds and trap people in them. Vivienne used this power to look through Macy's memories to figure out how to access the Command Center and the Black Amber Tree.
	+ **Energy Blast Generation:** The ability to generate offensive energy. Vivienne used this power in order to blast through the wall and break into the Command Center.
	+ **The Power of Three:** An extremely powerful ability possessed the Charmed Ones. Vivienne siphoned this power from the Vera-Vaughn sisters, but it was too much for one person to handle, which eventually resulted in her vanquish.

## Equipment

* **The Prism:** The Faction was able to create a prism that was later used by Viv to siphon powers of magical creatures.
* **Airmid:** This machine is capable of running DNA sequencing test in an hour.

## Trivia

* Vivienne is the main antagonist of the second season of the show.
* She is the first mortal on screen to be killed by the Charmed Ones.
* She is also the first mortal to temporarily wield the Power of Three.
* In *Someone's Going to Die*, due to how much power she had absorbed and displayed through the Prism glove as well as her rapidly growing insanity, it could be said that Vivienne turned into a monster, similarly to the Faction's previous experiments. She would obviously still be considered a mortal, but some humans do monstrous things, especially when in power.
