And that's where Cole, played by Julian McMahon, came in. Joining Charmed in its third season before Prue was killed off, Cole began life as a villain hell-bent on finally vanquishing the girls and their good magic. And that's "hell-bent" in the literal sense, as Cole was a powerful half-demon hybrid. But even he wasn't strong enough to resist the allure of the sisters, and soon Cole was reformed into Phoebe's love interest. The pair married in season four, which made it all the more shocking and heartbreaking for fans when Cole returned to his caddish origins and became the source of all evil in season five.
This soon led to his death at the hands of the combined powers of the Halliwell sisters. But there's still the question of why the character was killed off after undergoing an engaging redemption arc.
Legacy Sins of the Father. Cole Turner is the ex-husband of Phoebe Halliwell and the father of Julian Turner , whom was believed to have been lost. Initially a half-demon , he became mortal after falling in love with Phoebe, though he later became the Source of All Evil after being possessed by the evil essence.
After his vanquishment, he returned with unlimited demonic powers which ultimately drove him insane. After a failed attempt to reunite with Phoebe by creating an alternate universe , Cole was vanquished again and became stuck in the Cosmic Void. Cole was born as a half-demon to the demon Elizabeth and the mortal Benjamin Turner in the late nineteenth century. His mother killed his father and she raised him demonically.
As an adult, Cole became a powerful upper-level demon known as Belthazor while assuming his demonic form. He was a member of the Brotherhood of the Thorn, a group of powerful demons loyal to the Source of All Evil.
Belthazor was hired by the Triad to kill the Charmed Ones. However, during this time his human half, Cole, fell in love with Phoebe Halliwell and caused him to betray the Triad and seemingly kill them. He eventually turned good and began a relationship with Phoebe. During this time he was turned mortal for a time. However, Cole was eventually possessed by the essence of the Source and became the new Source of All Evil. He then lured Phoebe down a path of evil and she became pregnant with their demonic son.
Ultimately, the good in Phoebe beat out the evil and she was forced to vanquish Cole. After his vanquishment, Cole became stuck in the demonic wasteland due to his human soul, which he eventually escaped by absorbing hundreds of demonic powers, making him invincible. He then begins uniting the various demon and warlock factions in preparation for formally being crowned.
The vampires want in on the new alliance, hoping that Cole will end an exile imposed by the previous Source. Although Cole had worked with vampires fairly often when he was Belthazor, he rejected their request for amnesty almost out of hand. Enraged, the Vampire Queen sends several of her minions to bite Paige and make her a vampire under her thrall.
They believe that having even one Charmed One on their side will give them enough power to take over the Underworld before Cole can consolidate his power. An enraged Cole declares war on the vampires, and secretly hopes Paige dies in the process. He personally hunts down and kills the Queen—but before Paige can seal her conversion by drinking blood. During this time, Piper grows more suspicious of Cole, and is more willing to listen to Paige's concerns.
Even then, she is only willing to believe that Cole is working hand in glove with demons, but isn't a demon himself. After defeating the vampires, Cole begins the final preparations for his coronation as ruler of the Underworld. At this coronation, he is to lay his hand on the Grimoire and receive his full powers. Hours before the ceremony, he is attacked by an evil Wizard who schemes to seize the Source's powers.
Phoebe tells Cole that she's pregnant. His personal assistant, a demon named Julie , suggests that Cole make her his queen instead, out of concern that Phoebe's influence on him will grow during the pregnancy. It turns out that Julie is actually working for the Seer, who still opposes the idea of a Charmed One as Queen of the Underworld.
The Seer warns Cole that he risks losing everything if his love for Phoebe grows much stronger. Shortly after that, Phoebe comes up and tells Cole that she threw fire while she and her sisters were fighting demons, and she didn't like how it felt. As Cole comforts her, Phoebe gets a premonition of him throwing fireballs, killing demons, and working with the Seer and other demons. Horrified, Phoebe runs out of the apartment. Realizing that Phoebe now knows he's a demon, Cole decides to give up his powers to the wizard.
However, guided by the Seer, Phoebe uses her new fire throwing powers to kill the wizard before the transfer is complete. The couple is then coronated as rulers of the Underworld. To complete his plan to turn Phoebe evil and destroy the Power of Three, Cole orders the Seer to give Phoebe a prenatal tonic that will not only strengthen the baby, but destroy Phoebe's good side. However, even under the twin influences of the baby and the tonic, Phoebe still can't bring herself to choose between Cole and her sisters.
She tries to play both sides, even going as far as to help her sisters protect Greg Conroy , an innocent Cole had marked for death. This severely undermines Cole's support in the Underworld. Several demons are already upset that Phoebe killed several of their compatriots. Under threat of a coup, Cole disguises himself as Phoebe and tricks Piper and Paige into bringing Greg out of hiding, then drops his glamour and kills him with a fireball.
Phoebe eventually finds out about the tonic, and Cole admits ordering the Seer to give it to her, claiming that he wanted to spare her the pain he'd felt while having dueling natures fighting inside each other. He talks Phoebe into drinking a glass of the tonic. As they embrace, Cole tells Phoebe he personally killed Greg.
This is the final straw for Phoebe; she sides with her sisters and helps them vanquish Cole when they storm the penthouse. After being vanquished, Cole and the Source finally end up as separate beings in the Demonic Wasteland , where demons usually go after being vanquished. As Cole was born half-human and was in fact fully mortal at the time of his first vanquish , he has a soul while full-blooded demons have no souls.
His soul is stuck in the wasteland and has to face a giant monster feeding on the powers of the vanquished demons. The only person Cole believes can help him is Phoebe. Cole begs Phoebe to use a spell in the Grimoire to bring him back to life. However, Phoebe is unwilling to use dark magic ever again and asks him to move on. Cole, now without hope, initially decides to meet his fate, when he accidentally steps on a power from a vanquished demon.
Realizing that he can absorb the powers of vanquished demons, Cole kills the beast of the Wasteland and acquires various demonic powers.
He briefly returns to Earth to save Phoebe from a bullet, by switching her position with that of a witch hunter who was shooting at her. He tells her that he isn't giving up on them. Cole returns several months later, just as Phoebe is in the process of getting a divorce.
He tells Phoebe that he now has a massive arsenal of demonic powers, but wants to use them to atone for his many crimes as Belthazor and the Source. However, by this time, Phoebe and her sisters are unwilling to accept him anymore, and Phoebe angrily tells him that it's over.
He persists, and Phoebe slashes him with a letter opener. To her horror, drops of his blood start bubbling on a piece of paper; his blood has turned acidic.
She later discovers that his blood has eaten away the tip of the letter opener, further alarming her. Shortly afterward, a heartbroken Phoebe is turned into a mermaid. Paige tracks down Cole, believing he might be able to save her. He disagrees but Paige casts a spell to show him how much Phoebe loves him. He goes to save her, and helps her turn human again. Although Phoebe admits she still loves Cole, she tells him they can't ever get back together again.
When an evil witch tries to manipulate fairy tales in order to kill the Charmed Ones, Phoebe automatically suspects Cole and refuses to believe that he is innocent. When Phoebe is turned into a pumpkin and nearly smashed by Adam Prinze who is under the witch's spell , Cole saves her and knocks out Adam before taking the pumpkin to the Manor. Piper vanquishes the evil witch, reversing the spell.
Phoebe apologizes to Cole, who forgives her as he knows he lost her trust a long time ago. Cole takes her to Adam and tells her that he wants her to trust herself again so she can trust him.
Cole tries to prove that he is still good so that Phoebe will take him back. He saves a future Whitelighter from a fire started by a Siren and is hailed as a hero by all but the Charmed Ones. Although Phoebe believes Cole is sincere about wanting to be good, she also knew that since Cole had been fully mortal since Belthazor's vanquish, he could not handle having any powers at all in him no matter how much he tried.
Because of this, she believes that it's only a matter of time before the evil growing in him from his new powers will overwhelm him. Just as Phoebe wonders if she's being too hard on Cole, her fears are justified when he is seduced by the Siren.
His demonic powers protect him from the deadly effects of the Siren's kiss, but they also cause the evil in him to overcome him and nearly strangle Phoebe to death.
Phoebe is saved when Piper who has switched powers with Leo orbs in and tries to fight Cole off while Leo takes on the Siren. Piper is unsuccessful in breaking Cole's grip, but Leo manages to vanquish the Siren with Piper's molecular combustion , breaking her hold on Cole.
Piper is then able to save Phoebe from near death with Leo's healing power. This causes Cole to realize just how dangerous he is and decide not to use his powers. After Edward Miller , a slumlord, starts trying to evict his tenants, Cole turns to Phoebe for help, but she refuses at first. However, when she finds out several of her readers have asked for help, she threatens to expose Miller in her newspaper.
Later, Cole is surprised to find Phoebe, a superhero, dangling Miller over a roof to scare him into canceling the evictions. Realizing that they were married, Miller goes to Cole to blackmail Phoebe. Seeing no other choice, Cole kills Miller and tells Phoebe that he is " taken care of ", alarming her. Phoebe tells Cole to stay away from her. Barbas starts manipulating Cole into fearing he was evil in order to get him to give up his powers.
With the help of Paige and her power stripping potion, it works and Cole's powers go into Barbas, reviving him and making him invincible. With Cole powerless, Paige and Piper consider him an innocent but Phoebe still behaves coldly towards him. Cole hoped to start his life anew, but in order to stop Barbas, Cole is forced to take his powers back which he only does to protect Phoebe and he vanquishes Barbas with an energy ball.
After Phoebe saves her new boyfriend Miles from the Angel of Death , the warlock Bacarra comes back in time from six months into the future to tell Cole that Phoebe dies saving the man.
Bacarra also informs Cole that in the future, he becomes the leader of the Underworld again. Cole doesn't believe him and instead tries to protect Miles and Phoebe secretly. After many months of loneliness, Cole goes insane due to the weight of the powers he has absorbed and Phoebe's constant rejection of him. He is determined not to be evil, but is now convinced the Charmed Ones will never accept him as good no matter what he does, leading to him killing two murderers with his powers without remorse, telling them that it felt natural to do so.
In the midst of his despair, he tries to provoke the Charmed Ones into killing him by sending a Tracker to kill Leo, Paige and Piper's half-Whitelighter baby though the baby is saved due to its ability to protect Piper even in the womb. However, just as the Tracker is about to kill Sam, Cole kills the Tracker instead—he wanted Sam alive so he could heal Paige, believing that his massive powers meant only the Power of Three could put him out of his misery.
As Cole expects, the Charmed Ones storm the penthouse, intent on vanquishing him once and for all with three of their most powerful potions. However, Phoebe sees through the game after Piper and Paige throw their potions, and isn't willing to help Cole commit suicide. Cole flings Phoebe's potion at himself, only to discover he is now invincible ; not even the Power of Three can kill him.
Shortly into , Phoebe is kidnapped by Jeric , an ancient Egyptian demon who wants to use her body as a host for the spirit of his lover, an evil witch named Isis. Unable to find her, Piper and Paige turn to Cole for help, even when they witness him making several attempts to kill himself.
However, Cole instead works hand in glove with Jeric so they can both get their lovers back. Phoebe's body is breaking down from the weight of having two souls in it, and Cole offers to transfer Isis' soul into Paige's body, in exchange for having Jeric mummify Phoebe until he can figure out how to make her love him again.
Cole tells Piper that she can only save one of her sisters. Isis is the only person who knows how to demummify a body. However, Paige's body is breaking down, and Isis won't revive Phoebe unless Paige's soul is expelled.
Piper turns the tables on Cole and Jeric when she casts a spell that sends Isis into the afterlife rather than Paige. Having learned the necessary spell from Isis, Paige revives Phoebe.
Piper vanquishes Jeric and Cole understands he lost this time. When Phoebe asks what's happened to him, he tells her that he's "gone mad," and leaves. A disillusioned Phoebe realizes that Cole has succumbed to evil again, just as she feared. Gradually, Cole's obsession with Phoebe consumes him, and he vows to get her back at all costs. He even goes as far as to stir up legal difficulties for the Charmed Ones in hopes of tricking them into giving up the manor.
His plan is to get the Nexus underneath the Manor, intending to use its power to not only turn Phoebe evil, but reorganize the underworld under his leadership and take control of the city. All this accomplishes is to make Phoebe hate him with a passion. When Cole manages to briefly get control of the manor, Phoebe bluffs her way into the basement and banishes the Woogyman just as Cole is taking him in. She then tells Cole to his face that she no longer felt anything for him, that she was officially free—and she won't feel a thing when they finally figure out how to vanquish him.
In late , Cole was approached by the Avatars , powerful beings that are neither good nor evil, about joining them. He refused at first, but changed his mind in , believing their ability to warp the fabric of reality offered him one final chance to win back Phoebe. Cole then uses his newly minted powers to alter reality so that Shax killed Paige in , before Piper and Phoebe ever realized she existed. Cole believes Paige was responsible for turning Phoebe against him. Alpha , the leader of the Avatars, warns him this spell is foolish, but Cole refuses to join with the Avatars until he sees this through.
While this is all happening, Paige catches a cold, and every time she sneezes, she orbs into a void outside of space and time where beings like the Avatars live. At the exact moment that Cole changes reality, Paige sneezes and thus survives the change. In this new reality, the Power of Three was never restored, and Piper has gone rogue in an effort to hunt down Shax. Cole is the Source's right-hand, and is married to Phoebe. At first, Cole is content, even after Alpha tells him that because of the changed timeline, he has lost his Avatar powers except for being able to undo this altered reality and the powers he picked up from the Demonic Wasteland including his invincibility.
