Vampires

From Charmed

Vampires are undead demons that feed off of the blood of the living. A vampire clan is ruled by a single Vampire Queen with a possible hierarchy below her. Vampires are considered the creatures of the night since they can take the form of a bat.

The vampire's powers include shape-shifting into bat form, psionically tracking prey, enhanced senses, super strength and agility, heightened combat skills, and the ability to hang or cling to ceilings. All vampires are immune to the powers of witches, but are averted to sunlight and holy symbols, especially crucifixes, and holy water. In order to vanquish a vampire, you must drive a stake through their heart. The Power of Three, however, is needed to vanquish the Vampire Queen.  Killing the Queen kills the entire clan as well, unless a vampire has not yet completed his or her transformation by consuming blood.  In this case, he or she return to his or her original form, be it mortal, witch, or other magical creature.

Vampires were exiled from the Underworld by the Source of All Evil after they attempted to seize his throne. One clan tried to play for the Source's power a second time by turning Paige Matthews into one of their own. The clan's Queen hoped to turn the other two Charmed Ones, Piper and Phoebe Halliwell, into vampires as well as part of her bid to defeat the Source.  They believed that with the Power of Three on their side, they could take control of the underworld.

However, the Source, who had by this time completely taken over Cole Turner, killed the Queen with a fireball.  Since Paige hadn't fed yet, she reverted into her normal state while the rest of the clan died. ("Bite Me")

Rowan was portrayed by Samuel Ball.

[edit] Vampires

Immortal demons of the night, Vampires are

repelled by direct sunlight, crucifixes, garlic

and holy water. Vampires are immune to

Witches' powers, but most can be destroyed

with a wooden stake driven through the

chest. The Power of Three, however, is needed

to vanquish a Vampire Queen, an act that will

destroy all of her vampire spawn as well.

Gifted with the ability to transform into

bats, vampires also have the power to change

their victims into vampires instead of killing

them, but this transformation isn't complete

until the new vampire feeds on Human Blood.

[edit] Notes

• The vampire drawing is based on Rose McGowan.
• Though it is stated that Vampires are immune to witches' powers, Piper used her power on them and killed them in Something Wicca This Way Goes?. This means that the Charmed Ones either became so powerful that they could kill Vampires, that immunity has a limit, or that this was just a blooper.
