Violet Morgan is a latent witch born to two mortals. Along with Billie Jenkins and Duncan Phillips, she is a former member of the Chosen. She is also a Child of Destiny, born with the power of premonition and time travel, allowing her to ensure that destiny follows its intended course.
After fulfilling her destiny as part of the Chosen, Violet relocated to Atlantis with her boyfriend and later husband, Arthur Cobbs, and helped rebuild the ancient city. The two had two children, Liam and Margot.
History[]
Early Life[]
Violet was born to two mortal teenagers with little money and no place to call home. Because they could not give her the life she deserved, they decided to give her up for adoption. Since Violet was born with the rare power to alter the course of destiny, Gideon intervened and ensured she was adopted by Margaret and Edwin Morgan so she would have a safe home. He also bound her powers until she was ready for them.
Violet grew up as the only child of the Morgans, living in San Francisco. She had a normal childhood and was unaware of her magical heritage for most of her life. She always considered her adoptive parents her family, and never asked about them. Prior to college, Violet never had a boyfriend as she was always too nervous to talk to boys.
Becoming a Witch[]
During her sophomore year in college, Violet helped organizing a charity run with her favourite professor, Helen York. One night, Helen became the victim of a Grimlock, who has sought out her good soul to feed on. Violet was crushed by the death of her favourite professor and was strangely drawn to the scene of the crime. Once there, Violet experienced her first premonition and saw how her professor was killed.
Meanwhile Paige Matthews met with the Elder Sandra and the Whitelighter Mikelle. They informed her that a new witch at the campus was meant to become one of the Chosen, a new group of witches who could take over from the retired Charmed Ones. At the same time, Violet was freaking out about what happened. When she watched the news, she gained another premonition about two girls who had been kidnapped by the Grimlock for their eyesight.
Violet was later tracked down by the other members of the Chosen, Billie Jenkins and Duncan Phillips, through the use of a spell. They, along with Paige and Mikelle then explained to her that she was in fact a witch. Violet then told them about her premonitions, leading the others to conclude that it was a Grimlock behind the murders. The three young witches then performed a ritual to share their destiny and power, becoming the Chosen.
Through her premonitions, Violet led the others to the Grimlock's lair, only to be captured in the tunnels. There she found the little girls from her premonition and was rescued by Billie.
The Firestarter[]
Because Violet was new to being a witch, her new friends Duncan and Billie set out to teach her more about magic. Meanwhile Violet and Duncan started to suspect that Billie was hiding something from them. After saving the young Firestarter Tyler from demons, Billie decided to share her past with them, revealing her past mistakes.
The Wendigo[]
After being friends for a while, Violet found herself attracted to Duncan and wanted to be more than friends. This was quickly noticed by Billie, who encouraged her to ask him out. However, Violet was too nervous to do so, and Billie agreed to go on a date with a guy named Craig and his friend Zach to get her mind off things.
The two witches later discovered that Duncan was infected by a Wendigo and desperately found a way to free him of the curse before it was permanent. They entered a reluctant alliance with a Witch Hunter named Jake Porter, who worked as a police inspector. Through a premonition Violet learned that Craig was in fact the Wendigo they were searching for and agreed to set a trap during their date. Meanwhile, Violet learned that Zach was actually a really nice and charming guy, but she was still thinking about Duncan.
When Billie and Violet tried to vanquish Craig, Zach suddenly appeared and was nearly killed. While Billie and Jake stormed after Craig, Violet called Mikelle in order to heal Zach. Mikelle succeeded and also made him forget what happened with memory dust. When the Wendigo was vanquished, Duncan returned to normal and the Chosen later vanquished the Wendigo's master, Romulus, a member of the Brotherhood.
The following morning, Violet finally gathered her courage to ask Duncan out. She was heartbroken when he told her he couldn't, because he was gay. While both feeling uneasy, Violet assured him that they were still friends, but she later broke down in tears in front of Billie.
The Titan[]
In "Rise of the Titan", Violet and the others were called upon to stop the Titan Prometheus and met the current Guardian of Pandora's Box, Hope. After working together, they managed to stop Prometheus and another member of The Brotherhood, the Harpy Queen was vanquished. Meanwhile, Violet was still very hurt by what had happened between her and Duncan and did not speak to him for two weeks. However, after he was nearly killed by a Harpy, she realized that she cared deeply about him as a friend and was able to move on.
Survivor Island[]
Along with her friends, Violet was trapped on Survivor Island by the warlock Bacarra as part of his revival of "Witch Wars". Violet found herself in the company of Arthur and the two grew closer. During her time on the island, Violet also gained the ability to stop time, which allowed the Chosen to vanquish the Hellhound hunting them.
The Gemini Factor[]
Some later, Violet gathered the courage to ask Arthur out on an official date. They got to know each other better, though the date had to be cut short due to her friends needing her to defeat a pair of warlock twins. She and the others later defeated the warlocks, but allowed them to escape after discovering that Bacarra was behind everything
City of Darkness[]
After the Brotherhood trapped the entire city outside of time and space, Violet's powers were not working properly. She had a disturbing dream and feared one of her loved ones would die. Her fear came true when Mikelle was killed by the demon Klea, which devastated her.
Since their allies had been kidnapped by vampires, the Chosen went to free them; Irena was soon killed by Taylor, and Billie took advantage of the others' unconsciousness, to go to the town hall and kill Klea. She succeeded, but Klea poisoned her and died if Paige had not healed her in time; Duncan and Jake scolded her for it; with the destruction of the brotherhood, even the dome was destroyed, and Billie declared that he wanted to leave the elect and no longer want to have friends.
Trial of Billie Jenkins[]
Violet went to breakfast with Arthur and he told her that an anthropologist specializing in the study of wizards, wanted him on his research team for a three month expedition. The two also talked about Billie and Arthur came up with the idea of submitting she to a Vision Quest.
Violet also talked about it with Duncan and the two friends, they managed to convince Billie to undertake the Vision Quest. While Billie was asleep, Duncan told Violet that she should not feel guilty, for the happiness her love story gave her, and she admitted that she did not know how to feel about Arthur being away for three months.
Violet realized that Duncan was not really sleeping, and that he had gone somewhere with his powers, and when he told her he was not ready to talk about it, Violet replied that there were no problems. The two were attacked by Makayla Porter, who revealed their identity to them and threatened to torture them to death, if they did not reveal how to break the barrier that protected Billie. Fortunately Billie woke up just in time to defeat Mac, and the Chosen used a spell to erase her memory.
Violet went to the Magic School where she had a brief meeting with Leo. Shortly thereafter Arthur told her that the interview had gone well and that he would leave within two days. Not wanting to be an obstacle, Violet told him to go and that she would wait for him; Arthur offered to go with him, but Violet replied that she could not leave school and friends. Before the boy left the two spent the last night together.
Las Vegas[]
After three months, Billie began to get tired of her relationship with Jake, but could not explain why. The blonde talked about it with Violet who suggested she talk to Jake about it. The two friends then decided to go and live together; shortly after they were joined by Duncan who told them that Ross's twins were in trouble. Billie was surprised to find out that Duncan had stayed in touch with Nathan, and was not sure it was the case to help the twins, which almost led her to argue with Duncan. In the end, Violet managed to calm them down and through a premonition discovered that the twins were in a casino in Las Vegas.
Unfortunately, once she arrived at the casino, Violet inadvertently drank a potion that made her want to gamble, and Billie tried in vain to stop her. Because of the potion Violet did not oppose any resistance to the men of Carson Meyer, from which she was captured and all the witches present were forced to wear collars that inhibited their powers. Fortunately, the mental powers were not blocked, so using the telepathic connection of the twins, the chosen could cast a spell to free themselves.
After defeating Carson Meyer and getting the Genie bottle, everyone believed they had won. However, Carson pulled a gun and tried to shoot Billie. She was pushed away by Jake, who was hit. The genius Sahara told Billie that she could have expressed the desire to save him. Although Jake did not trust her, Billie followed the suggestion, so Sahara transformed Jake into a Genie, technically saving his life. Having expressed three wishes, Jake was forced to enter the bottle and disappeared. At that point Violet convinced Billie not to take revenge on Sahara, since she was now a mortal. Once back in San Francisco, she helped her friend cover up Jake's disappearance.
Shangri-La[]
Billie and Violet found a home when they were looking for a house, which Billie liked very much, but Violet was sure they could not afford it, so Billie decided to ask Duncan to live with them. Arthur was not back yet and Violet had a bad feeling, so Billie persuaded her to ask Leo for information. Eventually Violet discovered through a premonition that Arthur was in danger, so she decided to go to his rescue in the company of Billie. Through a portal they reached the place where the expedition hoped to find Shangri-La, and while searching for traces they found Bryant Hughes a boy who claimed to be the assistant of Professor Whitney, the head of the expedition. Although she did not trust him, Billie allowed Bryant to accompany them and thanks to a spell from Violet they found the entrance to Shangri-La. Shortly thereafter they were assaulted by a group of Garuda Demons but they managed to eliminate them, and once they reached the temple in the valley, Bryant betrayed them. The two girls found Arthur when the temple began to collapse. The three managed to escape but not to prevent Bryant from escaping with a powerful magical artifact. Once home, Duncan agreed to go and live with Violet and Billie.
House Party[]
After Violet had a premonition, the Chosen saved an innocent from the demon Valefar and believed they had defeated him. However, the demon followed them into their new home and decided to attack them by merging with the building. The Chosen gave a party to inaugurate their new home, but Arthur did not come and it bothered her. Soon after, Valefar trapped Don and Nathan. To prevent Valefar from listening to their plans, Violet and Paige cast a spell to communicate telepathically. In the end, another spell was used to eliminate the demon, and all the prisoners were released. After the emergency Violet went to Arthur to scold him for not having presented himself at the party. Finding him asleep in his office, she woke him up and the two had a discussion.
Revealing the truth to her parents[]
Violet was extremely nervous about her quarrel with Arthur, and stopped seeing him for a couple of weeks. This displeased her and to not think about it she devoted herself to cleaning in a manic way.
When magical children began to disappear, the Elders decided to give the Chosen the task of finding them, and for fear that they would become as uncontrollable as the Halliwell sisters, they decided to assign them Gretchen as their new Whitelighter. Billie did not want to know Gretchen, but Duncan managed to persuade her to listen to what she had to say, and Violet did what she could to keep the two from arguing. The group learned about the disappearances of magical children and the suspicion that behind them were demonic children. In spite of Gretchen's objections the Chosen decided to cast a spell to find the demonic children, which turned Duncan into a child.
The next morning Duncan's mind began to regress, and he to behave more and more like a child. To make matters worse, Violet's parents decided to pay her a surprise visit, and to keep them away from the magic, Violet took them for a ride to the university, but became nervous because of her mother who was trying to intrude on her private life. Eventually Violet decided to tell them about her magic, who didn't believe her at first so she showed them her powers, followed shortly by Gretchen and Billie orbing in. Edwin managed to accept it quite quietly, but Margaret passed out in shock.
Edwin managed to reassure Violet whilst Gretchen, who located Duncan, orbed Violet and Billie to him. Rex tried to destroy them using the powers of the amulet in which his father Pazuzu was trapped, but Duncan, being a child, was immune to it and managed to grab the amulet, causing an explosion of light that made Rex evaporate.
The morning after the spell's effects worn off and Duncan had only confused memories of the accident. Gretchen decided to stop being their Whitelighter, as she didn't feel fit for the job, while Edwin and Margaret went home; who needed time to work out what she had discovered, but assured Violet that she still loved her unconditionally. The two left Violet with a note in which they revealed that it had been entrusted to them by a man named Gideon.
From the Deep[]
One evening while returning home after an afternoon with her study group, Violet was lured to the harbour by the merman Ridley, who wanted her help in finding his beloved Nadia, a mermaid, who had been kidnapped by Bryant and another wizard. Violet took Ridley to her home, and shortly after the two were joined by the others who convinced Violet to reach out to Arthur for help.
When she found out that Arthur had continued with his research on wizards, Violet was disappointed because she thought he was obsessed with his work. Violet tried to leave but Arthur grabbed her hand to prevent it, causing Violet to have a premonition, which triggered the memories that Ambrose had suppressed in Arthur. Once the truth was revealed, the two made peace and Arthur realized that his father and his brothers wanted to steal the immortality of the merfolk.
Billie did not trust Arthur and thought that Ambrose could keep him under his control. Duncan also found it a plausible hypothesis, so while the others went to look for the sea hag allied with the wizards, Violet remained at Magic School with Arthur to find out if the suspicions of her friends were correct.
In the end, Violet told Arthur their suspicions and, through a spell, it was revealed that a part of Ambrose was still in Arthur's mind, so Violet expelled it. Shortly after, Ambrose had the city of Atlantis risen from the sea and Arthur and the others went to stop him. Ambrose showed them through an illusion the last moments of Atlantis and Arthur tried in vain to reason with him, who chose to retreat instead of fighting his son, since he still hoped that Arthur would join him.
Learning about her Past[]
Violet ran into Nathan and Duncan while they were in an intimate moment. In the ensuing conversation, it turned out that Gideon was also present in the twins' past. They called Billie and Nick to join them and after informing them, they attempted to summon the spirit of Gideon, but failed and Sandra informed them that after his death Gideon had been sentenced to forced reincarnation.
Violet and the twins decided to go back in time to find answers, even though Agent Murphy came to warn them of the virus, so it was decided that Violet and the twins would go back in time while Duncan and Billie would take care of the present problem. Violet and the twins were transported to July 30, 1988, the day the twins' parents disappeared. Arriving in Boston, the three began looking for clues and Nathan revealed that Billie and Nick were secretly dating and that his brother avoided talking about his feelings. Nathan and Violet then convinced Nick that he must declare his feelings to Billie. They later found the twins' mother, Erin Ross, and followed her, but Erin noticed and called the father of her children, Jeremy Burns.
When Violet had a premonition that Erin would be attacked by a demon, the twins decided to save her, and persuaded her to help them, but were instead killed along with her. After Gideon revealed that she was a Child of Destiny, Violet went back in time to prevent the twins' deaths andconvinced the twins that they could not alter the past. After discovering that the Triad had sent Nomed to kill Erin because they believed the twins were the Ultimate Power, the three returned to the present.
Time Travel[]
Arthur devoted himself completely to finding a way to free the wizards of Atlantis from petrification, but without success, so Violet decided to go back in time with him to inquire from the ancient wizards. Once the couple had arrived in the past, Violet fainted from exhaustion but the two were saved by Faiza a royal counselor, who thanks to her predictive power had decided to help them and who accompanied them to the city. Not even in the library of the magic academy the two were able to find a solution, so Violet decided to ask the prince. Before they could meet him, they stumbled upon a past version of Ambrose, which showed that he had always believed his kind was superior to others and had the right to rule the world. Eventually Faiza arranged a meeting with the prince and revealed that Atlantis would soon be destroyed. Having had enough time to figure out what he knew, Emyr accepted that fate had to run its course, even if it meant letting the city be destroyed. Emyr told Arthur how to break the petrification and free his people in the future. Then Violet and her boyfriend returned to the present.
War of the Wizards[]
Knowing from Agent Murphy that Ambrose was going to a ball organized by the mayor, the Chosen decided to attend, kidnapping Bryant as his powers could free those on Atlantis. Violet chased Ramsey to keep him distracted and joined him in a bathroom, where she tried to reason with him. However, Ramsey realized that something was happening and Violet was forced to keep him frozen until Bryant was caught. However, in the confusion that followed the earthquake caused by Bryant in his fight with Billie, Ambrose managed to capture Violet and take her to his home, where through telepathy he discovered their plan to free the Atlantis residents.
While Violet was prisoner, Ramsey visited her and they talked about the virus. Violet managed to convince Ramsey to stand up to his father and the two of them managed to escape to reunite with the rest of the Chosen. Ramsey revealed that, unknown to his father, he had designed a cure for the virus.
The Chosen and their allies set out to gather the needed ingredients. Ramsey accompanied Arthur and Violet to Shangri-La to obtain a Mallorn flower. During the trip. With all the ingredients combined, the Chosen headed to The Cauldron to create the cure. As Ramsey worked on the cure, his father attacked, though he was forced to retreat and the cure was created. The Chosen formed a plan to release the cure from the tallest tower in Atlantis. Kevin appeared and explained that he could use the collective power of the Elders to spread the cure instantly. He then orbed Ramsey and himself to the tower to prepare.
Shortly thereafter they were attacked by the wizards and their army of statues and had to split up to confront them. Billie joined Arthur and Violet to fight Harper. Arthur wanted to try to reason with her, even though Violet and Billie were against it. His attempt were futile, and when Arthur tried to deceiving Harper with an illusion, Harper killed him with lightning. After Violet went back in time and saw all the possible outcomes of the battle, she froze time and sent Billie to fight the Harper, keeping the army of statues frozen. Shortly after Violet convinced Arthur that it was impossible to reason with Harper, so he reluctantly stabbed her with an athame and she died in his arms.
After defeating Emyr, Ambrosius revealed that it was he who caused the accident that led to the destruction of Atlantis. At which point the Chosen used a spell against him, but only succeeded in destroying Magnus's Staff and injuring Ambrose. Violet went to the past with Ambrose to kill him during the sinking of Atlantis, and Duncan and Billie brought her back with a spell.
End of the Chosen[]
Feeling guilty about her choices during the war, Violet ran away to her parents. She returned after a couple of weeks, but Billie ran away as soon as she saw her. Duncan gave her a warmer welcome back, but Violet told him that he should focus on his niece who came to their house and went to find Arthur. Arthur didn't blame Violet for anything and told her that Emyr had offered him the post of ambassador and to move to Atlantis. If she had wanted to, Violet could go with him but Emyr would not have admitted others.
Violet took some time to think about it and went home where Billie wanted to know why Nick had to die, but she didn't want to tell him. At that moment Mikelle showed up, sent by the Elders and Angels of Destiny who ordered Violet to reveal the truth or she would, so Violet shared with Billie and Duncan a premonition showing that one of the twins would always die and since he couldn't live without his brother, Nick would kill Bryant in cold blood, turning him into a warlock. He would become one of the most powerful warlocks in the world, even killing several friends, before Billie was forced to vanquish him.
Mikelle later informed them that they could stop being the Chosen if they wanted to and that the task would be transferred to three other witches. Eventually Duncan, Violet and Billie decided to end their destiny as the Chosen and Violet decided to move with Arthur to Atlantis. There she had a premonition and discovered that she and Arthur would one day have a baby.
Later Life[]
Violet eventually married Arthur and had a son named Liam and later a daughter named Margot. Although she remained in Atlantis, she would often travel to visit her parents and friends. Due to Liam being born with great power, he eventually proved to be a danger to the island when he absorbed too many powers and nearly destroyed the island. Violet and Arthur managed to stop this by binding his powers, though the incident caused Liam to become withdrawn and distant.
After Liam helped restore Excalibur, Violet and Arthur allowed him to transfer to Magic School.
In 2030, Liam replicated her power of premonition and saw another witch being attacked by Witch Hunters. Liam and Margot left the island to rescue him and later helped in the battle against the hunters, who had abducted several witches. Although Violet and Arthur were upset with their children for leaving without warning, Violet understood that Liam had the premonition for a reason, meaning they were meant to help.
