understand the STORY
Personality[/u]:
Victor is an easy going guy. The magic business, still to this day sometimes confuses him. But he has learned to accept that his children and grandchildren are going to be magical, whether he likes it or not. And most of the time he doesn’t like it, but only because he is worried they will be killed by some demon.
Walking away from his children was the hardest thing Victor ever did; but he knew the constant fighting between him and their Grandmother after their Mother had died, was not good for his girls. So Victor made the choice to walk out, to spare his girls any further pain.
When he did finally return to his children’s lives, it was to try and take the Book Of Shadows from them. What Victor would have done with the Book he didn’t know, he just knew that as long as his girls were around it, they would eventually, especially after their Grandmother passed away, become witches.
Victor didn’t want them going through what he believed was hell, by being witches. But he soon learned that his daughters weren’t little girls any more, and that they were indeed capable of protecting themselves.
That is until his oldest daughter Prue was killed by a Demon, while protecting an innocent. When that happened, Victor wanted to start up his fight that his remaining two daughters give up being witches. And at first his daughter Piper seemed to be thinking like he was, until she and her Sister Phoebe learned that they in fact had a 4th Sister.
This rekindled the Power Of Three. And while Victor was unsure on whether it was a good idea to continue being witches or not, he soon learned that the newly reformed Power Of Three, was just as strong as it ever was.
History[/u]:
Victor was born into the Bennett family, and may have had a "manic" sister, an alcoholic niece or nephew and an aunt named Sylvia.
Victor Bennett married Patty Halliwell sometime before Prue was born in 1970. Patty's mother, Penny, was not pleased that her daughter had married a mortal. She had low expectations for men, especially mortal men.
Sometime between Prue and Piper's births, Victor found out that his wife and mother-in-law were witches--and his daughters were witches as well. Victor attempted to adjust to his wife's Wiccan life with little success. He and Patty fought constantly over how to handle their daughters' magical heritage. Victor thought that magic was dangerous, and would hurt his girls. He wanted to raise them as normal girls, while Patty (with Penny's support) wanted to raise them as witches. It didn't help that he and Penny sparred constantly in a Bewitched-style, Darrin Stephens-Endora type relationship.
Sometime after Piper was born, Patty started spending more time with her Whitelighter, Sam Wilder. Victor was increasingly frustrated with Sam's growing involvement in their lives and with magic in general, and left the family for a brief time in 1975. However, he returned after finding out Patty had given him a third daughter, Phoebe.
When Prue was six, Victor rescued her from the Nothing found within the Ice Cream Truck used to capture demon children. According to Victor, while he managed to save Prue, Grams was horrified, believing that Victor only got lucky since he didn't have powers. Shortly afterward, Victor found out Patty and Sam were having an affair (whether or not it was a physical one was left ambiguous), and the two divorced sometime in 1977. Unknown to Victor, Patty was pregnant with a daughter by Sam, Paige Matthews.
Victor was still around for his girls after Patty's death in February 1978. However, unable to deal with Penny's overbearing nature, he left for good after a demon attacked on the night of Piper's fifth birthday. Prue and Phoebe were eight and three at the time, respectively. After Victor left, Grams warned the girls that he was a threat to them.
