Childhood & Early Life
Wyatt Matthew Halliwell was born February 22, 2003, the first child of Piper Halliwell and Leonardo Wyatt. His first name is taken from his father's last name and his middle name is derived from his aunt Paige Matthews. Wyatt was born in the Halliwell Manor and would be known as the "Twice Blessed Child" prophesized as the most powerful witch on Earth.

Despite some magical mishaps in his early life, Wyatt maintained a rather enjoyable childhood. When he was one year old his younger brother Chris was born and five years after that his youngest sister Melinda was born. After attending Magic School daycare, Wyatt moved on to attend pre-school and public school. As the oldest of the family Wyatt learned how to be a leader from an early age. When he was younger he was at first jealous of some of the attention his younger cousins recieved, but soon relished in the role of protector and role model. He and his brother Chris spent much of their childhood playing with one another and despite a healthy rivalry, are best friends.

Wyatt was the first of the Halliwells to attend Golden Gate High School. While there he built a steady reputation for himself both academically and socially. He played varsity soccer and helped out with several of the school's charity programs. Outgoing and diplomatic, Wyatt excelled as a member of the speech and debate team and was later voted senior class president. After high school Wyatt had plans to follow his passion for cooking and looked to enroll in a culinary school.

Education & Career Path
From an early age, Wyatt showed a liking for food and cooking. He spent much of his time learning how to cook from his mother and some of his first jobs included working at the Triquetra. He knew right away he wanted to be involved with the family business. After high school Wyatt enrolled in the California Culinary Academy. He recieved his Culinary Arts Certificate and did his apprenticeship at the Triquetra. Once graduated he took a position as a Chef de Partie (Chef of a Section) and then was promoted to Sous Chef (second in command). He was Sous Chef for four years before taking the position of Head Chef after the former quit.

Since becoming Head Chef, Wyatt had made several changes to the Triquetra's menu and has helped boost the restaurant's ratings among food critics. Being in the San Francisco area gives the establishment plenty of competition to which Wyatt gladly invites. While running the restaurant with his brother, he is considered the talent of the operation. When the story begins, Wyatt is building a strong reputation as a Chef and chasing a five-star rating from the critics.

Powers
As the Twice-Blessed Child, Wyatt is one of the most powerful beings in the magical world. Of his family, he is certainly the most powerful witch and wields an array of abilities that give him an obvious advantage. His pedigree is comprised of a witch-whitelighter hybrid, giving him the powers of both beings.

One of the first powers Wyatt displayed was of his forcefield. He was able to use this ability from the womb and protected his mother and himself from demonic attacks. As a baby he continued to use his shield when danger was near or when he sensed evil. The forcefield can deflect energy balls, fire balls, and other demonic attacks.

Another power Wyatt used early on was the ability to orb. He uses this in similar fashion to his cousins, brother, and father. Among other whitelighter powers, Wyatt can also sense danger, hover, glamour, and heal. He is of only three people able to heal in his family; the others being Chris and Kate. Unlike his fellow whitelighter-witch hybrids, Wyatt chose not to be a whitelighter.

As far as offensive powers are concerned, Wyatt has a multitude of methods for attacks. These include telekinesis, telekinetic orbing, and projection. To destroy demons he also can use pyrokinesis, combustion orbing, and energy waves. He can also form and throw energyballs.

Personality & Relationships with Family
At an early age Wyatt stepped into the role of big brother and later oldest of a large family. Though there are certainly some missing years, for the most part, he seems at ease in this role. He has a calm temperment and does not seem to be easily angered. It can be assumed that as the oldest, this attitude was almost necessary. In a way, he is much like his father Leo. Wyatt is known to be generous, kind, and optimistic. It is unusual for him to welcome confrontation or to be anything other than happy. Though powerful he is extremely humble and giving, not seeming to want to take too much credit or cause a rift in the family by being flamboyant. Overall, Wyatt seems to lead a rather simple life.

As far as his relationships go, Wyatt is best friends with his brother Chris. Though Chris is younger, he often consults with him about demonic difficulties or problems and has complete trust in him. The two brothers occasionally bicker but all in all are extremely close and friendly. Wyatt is extremely protective of his younger sister, Melinda, as well as his mother. He is willing to do anything in order to protect them.

Wyatt seems to get along best with his cousin Laura, though it seems he is friendly and on good terms with everyone in the family. He has a good sense of humor and a charming personality, making it often difficult to stay or get mad at him. At times he takes on the role of leader but this is something he doesn't seem to flaunt or force.

Romantic Life
Early on in the story nearly nothing is mentioned of Wyatt's romantic life. There were a few comments about a girlfriend named Alex who has never been seen by anyone in the family.

On Valentine's Day in the episode "All My Secrets" Wyatt reveals to Laura and Sam that he is a gay. He's known about his homosexuality since his early twenties - nearly ten years - and has kept it a secret from the entire family. Little is known about any of his relationships with other men, but he has confirmed he has a boyfriend named Alex.

In the episode "Good Times Gonna Come" Wyatt comes out to the entire family. He first tells his immediate family at Thursday Breakfast which results in a fight between him and Chris. At Kate's family day he tells the rest of the family he is gay during a heated argument.
