"I'll have my revenge, son. But not before I give you yours."
—Orin after Cree's death.[src]

Orin was a powerful Gypsy Hunter who hunted a clan of Gypsies with such aggressive ruthlessness that they cursed him with blindness, rendering him unable to hunt any Gypsies. Years later, along with his son, Cree, Orin plotted to restore his sight and get revenge.

History[]

Decades ago, Orin hunted the Gypsies of the Nicolae tribe, who then used the Evil Eye to blind him to protect themselves. Despite his blindness, however, Orin still developed a form of clairvoyance that allowed him to see in a manner. In 2002, Orin sent his son, Cree, to hunt down the Shuvanis in the Nicolae tribe and gouge out their eyes in hopes of getting the Evil Eye to restore his true sight.

Cree killed the Gypsy, Madame Tereza, alerting the tribe and the Charmed Ones to their plans. He then hunted and killed Lydia Nicolae, the bearer of the Evil Eye, but was vanquished by the Charmed Ones before he could obtain her eyes. Orin later slipped into the morgue and obtained Lydia's eyes and thus her powers.

He went after the last surviving Shuvani in the Nicolae tribe, Ava. His additional powers made him immune to potions, so Ava and the Charmed Ones combined Gypsy magic and witchcraft to vanquish him: an altered version of the "To Call Upon Our Ancestors" spell that invoked the spirits of the entire Nicolae tribe.

To Call Upon Our Ancestors[]

  • Based on the spell that invokes the combined magic of the Warren Line, Phoebe, Paige, and Ava cast this spell to invoke the combined magic of the Nicolae line instead to vanquish Orin. Also, unlike the Halliwell version, in this version, the last two lines of the spell were repeated until Orin was vanquished.
Marina, Tereza, Lydia...
Nicolae Gypsies stand strong beside us,
Vanquish this evil from time and space.
