Prudence “Prue” Halliwell was the eldest Charmed One. Unfortunately, on May 17th, 2001, Prue was tragically murdered in her own home by The Source of All Evil’s personal assassin, Shax.
Prue was always regarded as the most powerful and fearless of the Charmed Ones, to the extent that she was granted the nicknames “Super Witch,” and “Wicca Wonder.” Her powers include the ability to move objects with her mind, and to project herself in an astral form. Additionally, Prue possesses the basic powers of a witch; the ability to cast spells, brew potions and scry for lost objects or persons. Furthermore, Prue can access The Power of Three, the collective power of the Charmed Ones.
Before her death, Prue worked as a successful photo journalist at 415 Magazine, a career she wanted to pursue since her youth.
For years, her sisters thought that she was living happily in the afterlife with their mother and grandmother, though they were eventually told that Prue had been reincarnated. However, Prue disappeared and Patty gave Cole Turner the task of finding her. Cole eventually discovered that Prue had inhabited the body of a comatose witch, and taken the identity of Patience. As Patience, Prue lives in Salem, Massachusetts and runs “Salem Witch House,” a tourist attraction.
Though Prue initially chose to keep her distance from her sisters out of fear of the cataclysmic consequences, Prue eventually decided to return to San Francisco when her youngest sister, Paige Matthews, arrived in search of a candidate for Magic School, and was happily reunited with Piper and Phoebe.
