- "We don't have much time. The longer magic is down, the harder it is to restore. My cell phone's on the back in case your sister changes her mind."
- —Cronyn to the sisters.[src]
Cronyn was a Demonic Sorcerer who learned of an old prophecy from his mentor regarding the Prophecy of the Twice-Blessed Child.
History[]
Two centuries ago, Cronyn was the apprentice to Merrill and learned of the Prophecy of the Twice-Blessed Child. As the prophecy was kept hidden, Cronyn was the only one who knew what was coming and planned to obtain the child.
In 2003, Cronyn observed the Aurora Borealis and knew the time was right. He sent his demonic minion Stanley to attack the Charmed Ones so they would learn magic was down. He later went to the manor to meet with them and wanted to organize a summit between the forces of good and evil. Phoebe and Piper agreed to meet with him, but did not trust him.
Cronyn later met the sisters with his mentor Merrill and Kane, top advisor to warlocks. However, he soon revealed the meeting was a trap and left while the sisters fought the forces of evil without magic. When they interrogated Merrill, they learned Cronyn was not after them, but after Piper's unborn baby.
Meanwhile, at the manor, Victor's new wife Doris revealed she was working with Cronyn all along when she stabbed him. The sorcerer arrived at the manor just as Piper went into labor. However, the sisters arrived before the baby was delivered and, with help from the magic of Unicorn's horn, vanquished him and Doris.
