Demonic Power Brokers

Demonic Power Brokers are demons who trade, collect, and broker off demonic powers to the highest bidder. These bids can vary from other powers to innocents or material wealth.

Power Brokers sometimes use mortals to store their collected powers until they can find a buyer. However, this causes life threatening danger for that mortal, as they are not able to handle magical powers. Storing a power in a temporary host can drive them to extreme confusion, violence and paranoia and will eventually lead to illness and death. The power can only be pulled out with a potion or by a Power Broker himself.

Encounter with the Charmed Ones
In 2002, a Demonic Power Broker stored the power of Acid Secretion in a mortal woman named Karen Young. Confused, Karen wandered the streets until she was found by Piper and Phoebe Halliwell. They later discovered a Power Broker stored the demonic power Acid Secretion inside her. Because Karen was not a magical being, the power made her confused and later violent. She tried to kill her boss Elise Rothman until Phoebe managed to give her a potion to save her life.

When Paige became increasingly suspicious of Cole, he had a Power Broker store a demonic power in her to drive her to a confused and paranoid state. Cole then played into her fears by attacking her and speeding up the process. Driven to madness, Paige then attacked Cole and Phoebe in a hotel. The sisters late had the Power Broker extract the pwer, which also erased her memories but not her distrust of Cole.
