Cole To The Infinite Power
An Overview
Cole Turner…
Just what was he like, this half-demon, and half-human? Where did he come from? Where did he go during his formative years? How did he adapt...a demon with a soul? And, a conscience?
For the first time, in his own words, we learn the story behind the enigma; and uncover the truth about this complex, compelling, and ultimately all too human being.
Cole:
Like everyone, I started out as a child. Basically innocent, certainly unaware of my heritage...and my destiny. I was born at the end of the 19th century; the date and time are relatively unimportant now, but suffice it to say, I wasn't exactly a welcome addition to a happy family. You see, I was born to a demon mother and a human father, and I was to be groomed to play an important role in demonic history; and in the lives of four young women, known to all as The Charmed Ones.
Come travel with me, but judge not...until you have heard the entire story. For nothing is either black or white, and at times, even the shades of gray are hard to discern. I lived a life of opulence, deprivation, and everything in between. I traveled far and wide, saw much, but often understood little. I lived by the rules of the Underworld, where violence is the norm, and he who hesitates to kill a rival suffers a traitor's death. If he is lucky.
I plotted and schemed, lied and justified, manipulated and fought tooth and nail to achieve a place in the hierarchy. I was a member of the elite group known as the Brotherhood, and was feared and reviled by demons and humans alike.'
But...
I also saw the beauty of a sunset over the Alps. The cool breezes off the oceans. I saw Paris and Venice by night, toured Rome in the bright, hot light. I was feted by Kings, and fawned over by women. I took all but never gave anything of myself, unless I could benefit from it. I was handsome, arrogant, narrow-minded, and shallow. I did everything possible to exploit my human side, in a desperate attempt to escape from the truth.
I WAS half-human. I was born with a soul...and, a conscience. Many times my two halves warred against each other, and I was stuck, helplessly, in the middle. I was called upon to do things that sickened and revolted that human side of myself, and then I experienced the worst of my humanity...
I fell in love with one I was ordered to destroy, and from that moment on, my life was never the same.
Phoebe Halliwell saw passed the blackness of my heart, and discovered the one patch of light my soul possessed. I could never go back to being who or what I was, for her love for me, and belief in me challenged my dark side...
And set the goodness of Cole Turner free.
Come. Walk with me. Listen and learn.
And, Believe...
