Wyatt Halliwell

"I'm not one to hold a grudge but...If you hurt my family I won't forgive you."

Wyatt Matthew Halliwell played by Wes Ramesy is a Whitelighter-Witch and the first born child of Piper Halliwell and Leo Wyatt. He is the older brother of Chris and Melinda Pierce, and the oldest of the children of the Charmed Ones.

Pre Birth
Originally, Wyatt's parents were forbidden to be together due to rules imposed on them by the Elders, as Leo was Piper's whitelighter. However, due the Charmed Ones and Leo saving all Elders from the warlock Eames and at the request of some supportive Elders, such as Gideon, the entire council eventually allowed the two to get married. Following the revelation of Piper's pregnancy, it was believed by Piper and her sisters, that her unborn child was a girl, Melinda, the child that Piper saw in the future, the same future in which her sister Prue was still alive.

Piper later discovered, to her astonishment and wonder, that her unborn child had incredible powers, and was actually able to perform spectacular feats of magic while still in the womb. During Piper's distressing pregnancy, she began to have doubts about motherhood and her ability to keep the unborn baby safe. However, during an encounter with Necron, and with help from her mother, Piper was able to overcome her doubts. The baby was also able to heal many of the wounds Piper sustained from fighting evil.

Birth
Piper went into labour on the day of the Wiccan Festival of Lights, or Imbolc which coincidentally was the same day as the Aurora Borealis (although the The Book of Three, Vol. 1 page 8 mistakenly gives his birthdate as February 16, 2003). With the knowledge of the ancient prophecy of the "Twice-Blessed Child," the entire magical community believed that this special child was Piper's. Because of the astrological circumstances combined with the Wiccan sabbath, all forms of magic ceased on this "holy day" to welcome the child into the world. Taking advantage of this, a sorcerer named Cronyn concocted a plan to kidnap the child and raise it to be evil. Paige and Phoebe, with the aid of Victor, the girls' father, were able to vanquish Cronyn and his partner Doris. Then in the quiet moments, surrounded by her family, Piper gave birth to her baby. To everyone's surprise, the child turned out to be a boy and not a girl. With Wyatt's birth, the Wiccan sabbath ended, Aurora Borealis ceased, and magic was restored. With Wyatt destined to be the twice-blessed one, the sisters vowed to protect their nephew, knowing that evil would certainly make many attempts to kill or take him.

Piper broke the family tradition of names beginning with the letter "P" and gave her son the name Wyatt, derived from Leo's last name, in honor of his father; the middle name, Matthew, derived from her sister's adopted last name, in honor of his aunt Paige; and Piper and Leo decided for him to keep the last name Halliwell because "evil fears it and good magic respects it."

Piper's "Death"
When Wyatt was six year old, his aunt Phoebe was burned at the stake the same day his baby sister was born. The moment Melinda entered the family it became havoc because of the strong magic all the children shared. In order to maintain their status as "human". Piper took Melinda and left Leo with the boy in order to protect them all. The boys where told that there mother died in labor with the baby.

Excalibur
Being the true heir to the legendary sword Excalibur, Wyatt is one of the only two people in the world that can wield the sword, with the other person being his mother as the Lady of the Lake. Wyatt has used the sword to telekinetically stab Mordaunt, who stole the sword and attempted to kill Wyatt. Since Wyatt was only a toddler when his family learned about his status as the heir to Excalibur, his mother decided that he had to wait until he was at least eighteen before he could use it. However, his ability to wield the sword was later absolved when the Angels of Destiny removed all future callings and destinies attached to any of the Charmed Ones' children. When in possession of Excalibur as its true heir, Wyatt would gain the abilities of Calling, Immunity to potions and Invincibility.

Personality
Piper: "How did you become such an optimist?"

Wyatt: "From you, mom."

As an adult Wyatt seems to have a very optimistic view on the world, a trait that he learned from his mother (something that Paige laughed at). Wyatt, like his aunt Phoebe, seems to have a problem holding back the truth such as when he accidentaly revealed Coop's marriage to Phoebe in the future.

However despite his optimistic atittude Wyatt can be outright intimidating and agressive when someone's threaten the people he cares about.

Melinda Pierce
"Stop staring at me or I'll kick you,"—Melinda too Wyatt after he finds out she's his sister.

Wyatt was initially unfriendly towards Melinda, being suspicous of why Chris was so fond of her though she was younger and he was engaged. However, as time when on, they did somewhat bond, despite the fact that he often spoke ro Melinda in rude way. Once Wyatt disocvered she was his little sister he attempted to be kinder to her and change their relationship but it was to Melinda's annoyance. Melinda treated him the same not wanting him to change how he acts just because of their blood relations and the two went back to their old relationship except with less hostility.

Chris Halliwell
Chris:"I'm not a kid anymore."

Wyatt:"So what? I'm still older."

Wyatt and Chris have always been close since birth. They are both known to be very protective of one another despite their constant insults and somewhat rivalry. Chris is also known to have somewhat of an inferiority complex when it comes to Wyatt which he is oblivious about. Chris being in danger is what could lead to Wyatt's step into evil.
