The Source of All Evil is a fictional character on the WB television series ''Charmed'', a demon who is the ruler of the underworld for the show's first 4 seasons. He is portrayed by Michael Bailey Smith, Bennet Guillory and Peter Woodward over the course of the series and had a brief resurrection in one episode during the show's eighth season. He was responsible for incarcerating the powerful demon Zankou〔 and The Tall Man. He is also responsible for banishing numerous beings from the underworld, such as: The vampires, wizards, Kurzon and possibly even Hecate. His first on screen appearance is in the episode "All Hell Breaks Loose", but his lurking backroom presence was a regular theme in the backplot creation of many prior episodes during the show's first four seasons—especially so in seasons three and four—- where he occurred regularly in exposition dialog as "a name" behind or of having sent or being connected with other evil entities mentioned. He is depicted very differently in appearance than in the later episodes (picture above, and right), having an appearance in early depictions of an unseen face-in-the-shadows in a heavily cowled dark colored robe, the first being a robe of blood-red velvet, the next few appearances, just ones in less exotic materials colored black. The unhooded Source has a tattooed face, that when finally revealed, is partially mutilated from battles with other demons when he seized power. It is said that the damage done to his face is the result of battles with the upper level demon Zankou, who appears as a major villain in the seventh season. Among his many demonic powers are throwing fireballs, teleportation (flaming), manipulating flame, shape-shifting, summoning demons and evil beings, mind control, and possession. He sends numerous demons after the Halliwell sisters during the development of various plots in the series' eight seasons, including the Triad and so indirectly the half-human/half-demon love interest of Phoebe Halliwell, Belthazor/Cole Turner. He later puts a bounty on Cole's head when the latter turns good. The actor Peter Woodward who plays the half-faced source, also appears as another demon in the season seven episodes "Someone to Witch Over Me" and "Ordinary witches". == Season 1 == The show’s first season sees two warlocks, under the aliases Rex Buckland and Hannah Webster, stalking and attempting to kill the Charmed Ones and take their powers shortly after they were unbound. In the episode ''The Witch Is Back'', Buckland mentions having failed a mysterious “He”, after the 17th century warlock Matthew Tate is unsuccessful in killing the sisters. The two agree that by outing the Halliwells as descendants of Melinda Warren (and thus, as the Charmed Ones) that it is not a complete failure, a feat which will buy them time to vanquish the sisters themselves. Following this, Buckland and Webster expose themselves as warlocks to the Charmed Ones and attempted to extort them into giving up their powers. However, they are unsuccessful. After the Charmed Ones tricked Hannah, in panther form, into mauling Rex to death, Hannah is seen surrounded by intense flames. She screams "Wait, it wasn’t my fault. I didn’t fail, he did! No, please, no!" before she and Rex are turned into dust. It is presumed that the Source vanquished Hannah for her failure. A few months later, the Source was alarmed enough by the rapid decimation of his ranks that he sent a low-level demon to find out who was behind it. The demon set himself up as Inspector Rodriguez, an internal-affairs investigator with the San Francisco Police Department, and finds out that Andy Trudeau, Prue's on-and-off boyfriend, is connected to many unsolved cases with supernatural overtones. With the help of the demon of time, Tempus, Rodriguez found out that the Charmed Ones are the ones who have killed so many demons and warlocks in such a short time. Rodriguez was ultimately vanquished by the Charmed Ones, but not before killing Andy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Source (Charmed)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
