Seer
From Charmed

[edit] Biography
The Seer is an upper level Demon with the power to see the future. ("Charmed and Dangerous"). She is thousands of years old and has served multiple Sources. During the fourth season, she serves as the primary advisor to the Source after the Oracle is vanquished by Cole although the Book of Shadows states she is the top advisor to every Source ever since her existence. Besides her power of foresight, she can also send visions to others, presumably only to other people that are capable of seeing into the future, as she did with Phoebe Halliwell ("Womb Raider"), and a form of teleportation that gives a brief outline of her features before vanishing. She is also immune to the powers of most upper level demons ("We're Off To See The Wizard"). She also has some form of fire based power. ("Womb Raider") and ("Centennial Charmed").
The Seer is the one who warned the Source against unleashing The Hollow, prophesizing that if he does so, everything will be destroyed and nothing will be left of the world ("Charmed and Dangerous"), and soon after coaxes Cole into taking the Hollow into himself in order to protect Phoebe. After helping to destroy the Source, the Seer seals the Hollow back in its box with the aid of Phoebe.
What neither Cole nor the Charmed Ones know is that the Seer secretly intended for Cole to become the next Source. She knew that there was a void in Cole's soul where Belthazor had once been, and believed (correctly, as it turned out) the Source would enter that void and completely take him over. After Cole realizes that he has taken on the Source's powers, the Seer acts as his principal advisor. She initially opposed Cole's determination to make Phoebe his queen, though she helped him trick Phoebe into marrying him in a dark wedding so that his son would be evil. While Cole believed he could use Phoebe's love for him to turn her evil (or at least separate her from her sisters), the Seer thought Phoebe could sway Cole away from evil.
Unknown to Cole, the Seer engineered two attempts to kill Phoebe in hopes that he would make her his queen instead. She tricked Kurzon, a longtime rival of the Source, into going after Phoebe with promises that he would be crowned as the next Source. On the day of Cole and Phoebe's wedding, she unearthed a Lazarus Demon and secretly ordered him to kill Phoebe. When those failed, she tricked Cole into hiring a female upper-level demon, Julie, as his personal assistant. She hoped that Julie would seduce Cole away from Phoebe. It was only on the eve of Cole's coronation as the Source that the Seer finally decided to support Phoebe as the new Queen. Cole was on the verge of giving up his powers after Phoebe inadvertently found out that he was a demon again, but the Seer convinced Phoebe that Cole needed her by his side.
Soon after his coronation, Cole ordered the Seer to give Phoebe a tonic that would not only strengthen her baby son, but destroy Phoebe's good side as well. When Phoebe found out about this, as well as the fact Cole killed an innocent her sisters were protecting, she renounced her crown and joined her sisters in vanquishing Cole.
In the episode "Womb Raider," the Seer steals Phoebe's unborn child and the true Source of All Evil and places it in her body by use of a spell. She is vanquished soon after when she attempts to vanquish the sisters by tapping into all of the baby's power, destroying not only her, but also all other demons in attendance of the coronation. So whoever has the power to see the future may have a connection to the Seer.
The Seer returns in Season 5 in the alternate reality created by Cole using Avatar powers, as the advisor to Cole, who is Belthazor again and directly working under the Source.
