Barbas, also known as the Demon of Fear, is an ancient and powerful demon and a living embodiment of fear.
History[]
After his last defeat, Barbas was once again trapped in Purgatory. There he met a mysterious shadow and learned something was rising in the deep. In order to escape to the physical world once again, he astral projected to Phoebe Halliwell and Cole Turner, manipulating them with their fears. Once their fears reached a boiling point, Barbas was able to use their combined fears to return. He proceeded to taunt them and her sisters, until Cole vanquished him with his demonic powers. Before he was vanquished, Barbas delivered a cryptic warning about what was coming.
