**“Prue, sometimes things in life happen for a reason, no magic involved. Truck's been towed.”**

Victor Bennett, a mortal, was married to Patty Halliwell but they divorced after she had an affair. Before the divorce, however, they welcomed three daughters (Prue, Piper, and Phoebe.) Victor was still around for his girls after Patty's death in February 1978. However, unable to deal with Penny's overbearing nature, he left for good after a demon attacked on the night of Piper's fifth birthday. Prue and Phoebe were seven and two at the time, respectively. After Victor left, Grams warned the girls that he was a threat to them. Later in their life, he came back into their lives. He also later accepted their half-sister Paige and treated her like his own. Victor also has two grandsons.

## **Reuniting with his daughters**

Unknown to her sisters, Phoebe began keeping in touch with their father through instant messages and e-mails. However, Victor doesn't appear again until 2001, when he comes to San Francisco for a job interview. While in town, he assists the sisters in helping to capture the demon children and bring them to the Ice Cream Man's truck. By saving Prue from the Nothing once again, Victor finally proves himself to Prue, and he and all of his daughters leave on good terms. Victor, finally regaining his place in his daughters' lives, returns to meet Piper's fiance Leo while also to ask for Phoebe's magical assistance when he attempts to put stock into a ghost town.

## **Prue’s death**

**“Would you people mind? For God's sake, we're burying my daughter today. Can't this wait?”**

After the death of his eldest daughter, Prue, a visibly saddened Victor returned to help put her to rest. Victor was outraged when an argument about the police case surrounding Prue's death occurred at her wake. Months later, Victor gave Phoebe away at her wedding to Cole Turner. Victor seemed to accept his daughters' newly-found sister, Paige. A few years later, Victor told Coop to stay away from Phoebe, not wanting to see his daughter’s heart break again. After Coop stated he loved Phoebe, Victor came to accept him in Phoebe’s life.

## **Being a Grandfather**

**"Hey, that's cheating." - Victor**

**"It wasn't me, it was Chris." - Wyatt**

**"No way, Chris doesn't have any powers yet." - Victor.**

**"Yes he does." - Wyatt**

Victor eventually became involved in his daughters' lives on a regular basis. He even got to see his daughter Piper give birth to her first child, his first grandchild. Victor may have walked out on his daughters when they were young, but he's making up for it by being a wonderful grandpa. Victor is involved in the lives of his grandchildren, often spending time with them, taking them out to places like the zoo, and babysitting them when needed.
