Brianna Warren Wentworth

From Charmed

Brianna Warren Wentworth was a powerful good witch of the 19th century, and the Charmed Ones' great-great-great aunt. She channeled her power mainly through her hands. She worked as a Maid in a Museum of Art

At some point in the mid-1850s during the Crimean Wars, she fought a Lord of War, Gabriel Statler. He ordered her immediate execution in an attempt to steal her power but the plan was not to be; Brianna was able to send Gabriel's Crystal Sword hundreds of miles away((Later in the Novel Warren Witches it is learned it was to protect the Paintings and artwork.)). Over 140 years later, Gabriel tried to steal back his powers, and needed to take the powers of a firstborn witch since firstborns are the strongest. He and his sister Helena found out that Prue was the oldest of the Charmed Ones and tried to kill her for her power. However, the Charmed Ones managed to take away his sword and kill him with it.

As stated in the Book, Brianna's faced was lined with years of wisdom; this was during the Crimean Wars in the 1850s; she must have been older at this time, maybe 50 or older. This gives us a look at to when she may have been born, possibly between 1790-1800, considering this and when Melinda was born, 1690, she could possibly be the 4th or 5th in the Warren generation.

Brianna may also possibly be P. Russell's aunt or grandmother. ("Which Prue Is It, Anyway?")

[edit] Appendices

(Book of Shadows text:)

And thus the Lord of War, his

army invincible, swept through the

Crimea leaving nothing but ashes in his

wake. The cause would have been lost

had it not been for the appearance of an

unlikely savior in the form of a woman.

Her face lined with years of wisdom,

her hands the fountainhead of a power

beyond belief, the Warren witch.

Brianna appeared unarmed before the

conquering army. Underestimating his

foe, the Lord of War ordered her

summary execution, but his plan was

not to be.

---

Holding aloft her hands the channel

and source of her tremendous energy,

Her mind focused, and her will strong

Brianna did what no man, no army

could: she sent the Crystal Sword of

the Lord of War high into the Sky, and

hundreds of miles away.

Separated from the weapon that was

the source of all his power, the Lord of

War was quickly defeated, his armies

crushed and his campaign ruined.

Moreover, the fall from grace of this

Lord of War was made even worse in

the eyes of those who stood in judgment

by the instrument of his destruction, a

simple witch.
