Timothy McBride

Timothy McBride was a warlock and the antagonist of the Charmed novel, Mirror Image.

History

During the time of Agnes Bowen, the Warren family became aware of a warlock who was killing innocents, and narrowed it down to one suspect - Timothy McBride. However, Agnes claimed that he was her long-lost brother, and protected him from the rest of the family as long as she could, and as a result was alienated from them.

Eventually, she realised her mistake: while trying to locate her sister through scrying with the help of an enchanted mirror, Timothy happened to pass by the mirror and, though his appearance was pleasant and handsome, Agnes saw who he really was through his reflection. Despite confessing to the family about her error, she still refused to reveal his whereabouts, and then confronted him herself. However, Timothy had become dangerously powerful through drawing power from the numerous murders he committed. Agnes managed to win by casting a vanquishing spell at his true form - his reflection - which caused his physical being to be banished into the mirror, but the injuries she sustained proved fatal.

A century later, when the corpses of his former victims came to light, the spell that held Timothy prisoner in the mirror diminished, allowing him to manifest himself outside the mirror in a non-corporeal form. He started to kill innocents again to regain full strength.

One night, he infiltrated in the manor and put a spell on the sisters to make them distrust one another. Later on, he approached Paige, flirted with her to gain her trust, and then persuaded her to take the mirror in which he was imprisoned and destroy it (which would allow him to regain his physical form). He then proceeded to murder another innocent, however, the Charmed Ones were able to stop him with Paige cast the spell that permanently destroyed him.
