Ludlow was an upper-level demon who ran a demonic training school for powerful magical beings such as Firestarters. These beings were trained to work as the bodyguards for the Source of All Evil. The Charmed Ones faced Ludlow when they had to protect a young Firestarter named Tyler from him.

HistoryEdit

In 2001, two demonic bounty hunters wanted to sell a young Firestarter to Ludlow and pretended to be mortal foster parents. However, the boy escaped and was found by the Charmed Ones, before vanquishing his foster parents himself. In order to vanquish Ludlow and close his academy, Piper and Leo pretented to be bounty hunters and delivered Tyler to Ludlow. However, their plan failed when Ludlow proved immune to Piper's freezing. Ludlow subdued Tyler by freezing him and send Piper and Leo away before they could save him.

Trapped outside of the academy, Leo went to get Phoebe and Paige while Piper tried to blow open the gate. However, she did not succeed until she heard Tyler calling out for help, which increased her power. Piper stormed the academy and blasted Ludlow. She and her sisters then read a Power of Three Haiku written by Paige to vanquish Ludlow.

NotesEdit

• The exterior of his Academy also served as the location for the Montana Family's estate in Season 6.
• Ray Wise later goes on to play a similar character in the TV series Reaper, though in a more active and prominent role than Ludlow: his Reaper character is the Devil himself.
• The name Ludlow presumably comes from the Horror movie The Demons of Ludlow.
• The name of this demon has also been spelled Ludlov, v pronounced as a w, like in the German language.
• Paige wrote his vanquishing spell as a Haiku.
