Major Villains in Charmed - Season 1

Season 1

Rex Buckland and Hannah Webster (portrayed by Neil Roberts and Leigh-Allyn Baker). They are first introduced when Prue applies for a job at Buckland's Auction House. While Rex tests her knowledge of art, Hannah "accidentally" pushes a stepladder, knocking over a bucket of paint right above Prue. When Prue deviates the paint's trajectory with her power, Hannah concludes she is "either the luckiest woman alive... or a witch". Hannah once almost gives them away when Prue uses a truth spell on herself, which forces her to say "it's my mission in life to destroy you". Rex takes this as "office rivalry", and scolds her later. Hannah then reveals she has powers when she lights Rex's cigar with only her breath. After this, Rex put Melinda Warren's locket in front of Prue and when she opens it, a powerful warlock - Melinda's lover, Matthew Tate - emerges from his prison and tries to kill the Charmed Ones. But the sisters conjure Melinda, who locks him up again. Finally, they decide to act themselves, having Prue arrested for stealing a precious tiara by manipulating her to believe it is she who killed an auction house guard and by planting evidence pointing at Prue. When Piper and Phoebe help Prue get out of prison, Rex takes a picture of them and threatens to expose them. Rex demands their powers and gives them a jar to store them in. With their powers gone, they give the jar back to Rex at the auction house. While the sisters face Rex and Hannah (in her black panther form), Leo, who was believed to be a simple handyman, performs magic on the Book of Shadows and returns the powers to the girls. Piper freezes the scene, and Prue moves Rex in front of her, so Hannah accidentally kills him. Having done so, Hannah reverts to her human form before being vanquished herself by an unknown force.

Inspector Rodriguez (portrayed by Carlos Gomez). Posing as an Internal Affairs agent, Rodriguez questions Andy Trudeau after he takes a murder weapon used by the ghost of a serial killer so Prue and Phoebe can stop him. Rodriguez says he is worried about the number of unsolved cases Trudeau and Darryl Morris seemingly abandoned and believes Andy is covering for someone. Continuing with his investigation, Rodriguez threatens Andy, who refuses to reveal who he is protecting and turns in his gun and shield. While spying on the two detectives, Rodriguez overhears Andy telling Darryl that he is covering for Prue Halliwell. Rodriguez then kills his partner with his powers, thus revealing his demonic nature. Continuing to try and root out the sisters, he frames his partner's murder on Andy, but Andy still refuses to expose the sisters. Getting frustrated, Rodriguez teams up with the time-manipulating demon, Tempus (who appears to work for the Source). Each time Rodriguez fails to kill all three sisters, Tempus reverses time to give him another chance. Due to Phoebe's power of premonition, the girls eventually figure out what is going on and tie up Rodriguez, but not before Andy is killed trying to protect Prue and her sisters. Encouraged by Andy's spirit, Prue uses a spell to break the time loop, weakening Tempus and sending him back to the Underworld. Prue then unties Rodriguez and orders him to get out. He immediately fires an energy ball in a last-ditch effort to kill the sisters, but Prue, sensing his intentions, uses her power to redirect it back to him and Rodriguez is finally vanquished.
