- "Listen to me! From now on, we are one Source and Queen. If you want to live, you must submit to our authority. Death is what comes for those who will not submit to us, your new rulers. We can also be the end for those who refuse us."

History
This section discusses the most significant events in the life of Wyatt Halliwell.
Background
Wyatt as a baby
Wyatt was born on February 02, 2003 in San Francisco, California to Piper Halliwell and Leo Wyatt, a Witch and a Whitelighter respectively. Since his birth is known that Wyatt is one of the most powerful beings to ever walk on Earth. After his birth, many demons tried to kidnap him, but their efforts were thwarted by the Charmed Ones. A law was later created that forbid demons from coming after the child. But Gideon thought that it could be bad to let such a powerful being exist and kidnapped Wyatt so he could find a way to destroy him. When Leo found out his mentor was after his son, he went after him and killed him. It is known that being kidnapped by Gideon is what would have made Wyatt become Evil.
Four years after his birth, his family found out that Wyatt was not the only Twice-Blessed Child. Phoebes´ firstborn daughter was too. P.J. Halliwell was born on the same day Wyatt was born four years later.
Wyatt at 12
In spite of having demons always coming along, Wyatt had a peaceful childhood. When he was 12, he was visited by his future self along with his brother and cousin Prue´s future self when they were trying to stop Phoebe from being killed by a demon. When he was a young boy, Prue, Wyatt and Chris created the Power of Nine Spell and along with their cousins and siblings, they vanquished a doll. That was the first time they all combined their powers together.
Young Wyatt kissing young Prue
When he was 18, his cousin Prue asked him something weird. She asked him to kiss her for the first time because she wanted to know how it was to kiss someone and she wanted it to be with someone she could trust in. He took her to the top of the Golden Gate Bridge and both kiss. It was their first kiss. They agreed not to talk about it again.
Wyatt went to school and then to high school and attended to Magic School. He was a popular teenager. He played soccer at high school and also was a writer for the high school newspaper.

Magical Statuses
- "When three planets burn as one over a sky of dancing light, and magic will rest for a holy day to welcome a twice blessed child."
- — Apothecary says the prophecy for the first time
- "They will think is all done, but the planets again will burn as one over a sky of dancing lights and magic will rest again until a second twice blessed child joins its mate on a holy Wiccan day."
- — The Apprentice completed her father´s prophecy
Wyatt and Prue´s births were predicted six centuries before their birth for an old Apothecary and his daughter and Apprentice. When the Apothecary was trapping Doom in a wall, he had a vision where he saw a twice blessed child. His daughter was unaware of what was happening and took his father´s hand. By doing it, she intercepted the second part of the prophecy where she saw a second twice blessed child.
The Apothecary and his daughter never revealed this prophecy to anyone. The Apothecary was buried with the part of the prophecy he saw while his daughter kept the second part with her afraid of evil finding out about it because she saw that what could happen to the world if the children were raised by evil.
When the Apprentice was old enough she went to the Elders and asked them to protect the entire prophecy. The powerful wizard Merril unearthed the quatrain describing the first part of the prophecy.
Merril was Cronyn´s mentor and knowing that the child would be born when magic rested on a holy Wiccan day planned to get the child, with Doris´ help, and raise the child as evil.
As the prophecy says, Wyatt was born on the Wiccan Sabbath Imbolc which fell on the same day as the Aurora Borealis. Despite this is an unusual phenomenon, the same happened exactly four years after. The only difference was that evil knew nothing about a second twice blessed child and even if they knew they had not enough powers to try to attack the Charmed Ones and get the child.
Being Twice Blessed makes that Wyatt and Prue are extremely powerful. Being Twice Blessed means being the firstborn child of a Charmed One and a powerful agent of good or evil. Wyatt and Prue are both firstborn children of a Charmed One and an agent of good. Wyatt son o Piper and Leo (a whitelighter) and Phoebe and Coop (a cupid).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. The other person being his mother, Piper 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. When in possession of Excalibur as its true heir, Wyatt can gain the abilities of Calling, Immunity to potions, and near-Invincibility.
Wyatt and his generation were destined to follow in their parent's footsteps and continue on the Charmed legacy. When Wyatt was a child, he, alongside his cousins and siblings created the Power of Nine Spell. Together, vanquished a doll that they pretended was a demon. They would later constitute this group as adults and became known as the Destined Ones to the Magical Community. Wyatt can be considered the leader of the group and gives them direction when needed.
After being tricked by Ruby LaFontaine, Wyatt became the Source of All Evil for a brief time in 2035. Becoming Evil escalated his powers, and he had access to a plethora of powers making him the strongest being in the world. He ruled alongside his wife, Prue, and enslaved the world. He later expelled the Source's essence and rebuked his powers after witnessing his daughter's accident. As the Source, Wyatt's power was limitless and the world was forced to bow to his command.
Fear
- Becoming evil and hurting his family: Current fear.
- Witnessing Prue turn Evil: This was Wyatt's biggest fear for the majority of his life. Barbas used Fear Projection to convince Wyatt that Prue had turned Evil, which, in turn, caused Wyatt to succumb to this fear and die. Since the incidents that followed, Wyatt has presumably overcome his fear or learned to manage it.
