Kareem Scales is a young witch with the power of Sound Wave Emission, who is in a romantic relationship with Tyler Michaels.

History[]

Relationship with Tyler Michaels[]

Kareem met Tyler sometime after the war against Rennek and started a relationship with him. They both train under Paige Matthews. Kareem has chosen to major in English, something that his family doesn't oppose because he at least has a direction in life. While discussing this with an insecure Tyler, he tells him what he imagines their future would be like, and he finds Tyler in all of them.

When Tyler gets possessed by several vanquished demons, he shuts himself away in fear of hurting others—including Kareem—though the latter continuously reaches out to him. When Tyler eventually goes to Kareem, the possession takes over and Kareem's family are put under the mercy of Tuatha. The witch threatens Kareem's parents, forcing him to reveal what he knows about Tyler's powers. The Charmed Ones come to their rescue and successfully vanquish the witch. Despite everything that happened during and after Tyler's possession, Kareem continuously braves through hardships to be with him, including fighting against the resurrecting Old Ones to protect the world. The Elders and the Tribunal later kidnap Tyler to experiment on him in hopes of finding ways to destroy Heremus, an Old One currently possessing Prue Halliwell.

Fighting Against the Old Ones[]

During the advent, Kareem and Aidel are both orbed to Tyler's location, where they help the team (Darryl Morris, Tyler, Benjamin Turner, Kyra, and Amelia Desmots) battle the Old Ones emerging through Tyler's portals. Their combined efforts prove futile since the portals are still open. Kareem encourages Tyler to close the portals, and personally destroys the demonic seeds planted inside the Knox Academy students with his power to save them and stop the Old Ones' resurrection altogether.

Physical Appearance[]

Kareem is a young African American witch with cropped black hair, thick eyelashes, and a wiry build. His height is about the same as Tyler's.

Kareem is a headstrong and brave individual, who shows courage in any dire situation, including ones that threaten his own life. Kareem is also very passionate and self-assured, evident by his desire to be by Tyler's side despite his distance, and would reach out to help those he cares about.
