The Warren Line is the lineage of witches to which the Halliwell family belongs. The line started with Melinda Warren, daughter of Charlotte Warren, in the late 17th century. They are the most powerful line of witches in history.
One of the things that have made the Charmed Ones and all witches in the line so strong is their bond as a family. This is particularly noteworthy in the Charmed Ones, three sister witches, whose powers are directly linked to their bond as sisters. Many demons have discovered that the key to weakening them is by breaking their bonds as sisters.[1]
The bond of family is important to all Halliwells, such as Penny Halliwell, the Charmed Ones' grandmother. She had fallen in love with the Necromancer, who offered her the opportunity to be brought back to life so they could live together at the cost of alienating her family and sacrificing generations of magical spirits. Though she appeared tempted, under a truth spell she told him that while she loved him, she loved her family more, then vanquished him.[2]
Phoebe Halliwell found a way to draw power from the witches of the Warren line. In order to vanquish the Source of All Evil, she wrote a spell to invoke the power of the entire line by invoking the names of powerful ancestors. This spell was powerful enough to vanquish the Source twice, though not strong enough to vanquish Barbas once he possessed the powers of Cole Turner.[3][4]
Starting with Patty Halliwell keeping her last name and giving it to her children, the family has had matrilineal tendencies. Piper Halliwell and Phoebe Halliwell also kept their last names on marriage and passed the name onto their children.In Phoebe's case her husband, Coop didn't have a last name so he took hers instead. While Paige also kept her last name after marrying Henry Mitchell, her daughters and son took their father's last name.
Brianna was an extremely powerful Warren witch with the power of Advanced Telekinesis, which she channeled through her hands. She was famous for defeating a Lord of War by sending his Crystal Sword hundreds of miles away, which was thought to be an impossible feat.
P. Russell was the past life of Phoebe Halliwell and cousin of P. Baxter and P. Bowen. She was once a good witch until she was seduced by the warlock Anton. She was murdered by her cousins in Halliwell manor.

Her parents Redmond and Philippa Baxter built Halliwell Manor, a hosue Baxter grew up in. She hosted a speakeasy at her and Gordon's house due to prohibition. Both Baxter and Bowen murdered their cousin after learning Russell had fallen towards darkness because her boyfriend, Anton, was an immortal warlock. They cursed her and her future lives to die as well to ensure that Anton and Russell would never be reunited. It is said that Baxter's great-granddaughter, Paige inherited her eyes and good looks.
