Leo Wyatt
At first Leo Wyatt just popped up in the beginning of the series as a (really) cute handyman, who was immediately smitten with Piper, and vice versa. The sisters soon learned that he was much more ~ Leo is a Whitelighter, their intermediary with The Elders [the 'powers that be' of Charmed], a virtual encyclopedia of the supernatural beings and events they encounter, and who also has the power to heal. When he travels it's in a sprinkle of light called orbing, and he can take others with him, which he has done several times. He is assigned to the Charmed Ones as a guardian and protector. Leo was actually a young doctor during World War II, and was an exceptionally good person, so when he died, TPTB gave him immortality as well as his healing and orbing powers. While Leo and Piper did fall in love, there were many obstacles to overcome before they did finally marry, in the middle of the third season, in the company of a small group of family and friends. Piper gave birth to their first child, a boy they named Wyatt Matthew Haliwell ~ Wyatt for Leo's last name, Matthew for Paige's last name, and Haliwell, as it's the traditional family name, feared among the powers of evil and respected among the good. Leo has tested his own reputation, and stretched the forces of good's patience pretty far, after killing Gideon, an elder and former mentor, after discovering the Magic School's headmaster was trying to kill Wyatt, who is destined to be the most powerful magical being ever; Gideon thought that one being with so much potential power for good or evil was is too dengerous. Leo has almost become uncontrollable after the loss of his and Piper's second son, adult Chris. Leo killed Gideon, and then later was provoked by Barbas into killing another, Zola. Leo is in a world of pain right now, and Piper, Wyatt and baby Chris may be his only hope...
