Anton

From Charmed

Anton is a powerful, immortal warlock with superhuman strength and the power to Glamour. He seduces witches with sweet promises of world domination, however, all he truly wants is more power for himself.

In 1924, Anton fell in love with a Warren witch, Pearl Russell, who also happened to be the past life of the Charmed One, Phoebe Halliwell. He seduced her, turned her evil, and convinced her to help him kill her cousins, Phoebe Bowen and P. Baxter--the past lives of Prue and Piper Halliwell-- to obtain their powers. He gave her a potion that tripled her power of pyrokinesis, and an amulet that rendered her immune to all witchcraft.

Bowen and Baxter feared that Anton and Russell were soulmates, and would be too much for their descendants to handle if they ever got back together again in the future.  With this in mind, they not only killed Pearl by strangulation, but cursed her soul so that her future selves would also die during their 24th year.

Meanwhile, Anton escaped with the amulet, which was ripped off Pearl's neck in the struggle. In 2000, he reappeared to reclaim his love in an attempt to gain access to the Charmed Ones' powers.  He was inadvertently helped by Phoebe, who went back to her past self in order to find some way to keep from being killed by the curse her great-grandmother and great-aunt spoke 76 years earlier.  In the process, she switched bodies with Pearl, allowing Pearl to be reincarnated in the present.  However, Prue deflected one of Pearl's fire blasts at him, which set him ablaze and destroyed him.
