Lighthouse Keeper

The Lighthouse Keeper is the main antagonist in the book, Light of the World.

Loss and Vengeance
The Lighthouse Keeper was in love with a woman named Trudy. The two were to be wedded. On the night Trudy returned to Serenity Cove on ship, the keeper was so excited about seeing his love again, he did not notice the engagement ring he prepared for his proposal had accidentally slipped inside the searchlight's gears and the light malfunctioned. The keeper was convinced it was the work of the lawyer who also had affection for Trudy, despite his alibi.

The keeper died and his vengeful spirit (tethered to his pocket watch) wandered the world for decades. Over the years, he interacted with numbers of earthbound spirits, learning everything he could, eventually hearing about the mystical Light of the World. He decided to find it and use it for revenge on the world. The keeper eventually found the family that currently owned it, and tricked James Agatt into marrying his fiancé in Serenity Cove.

Return
The keeper tricked James into his lighthouse, where he used the pocket watch to possess James while expelling his spirit into the lighthouse. Knowing a group of nixies were trying to stop his plan, he did everything to protect the wedding. When one of the sisters, Phoebe Halliwell, learned of his plan, he captured her and had her bound to shackles in a cavern, where the nixies were also held captive. To throw off suspicion, the keeper had a Sea Nymph impersonate Phoebe.

The wedding proceeded as planned, and once the ritual was completed, the keeper dropped his façade, took the Light of the World in his hands, and cast a spell to cause discord among the wedding guests, employees, and everyone present, then summoned forth monsters to raid the world. He engaged Phoebe and Paige in battle, gaining the upper hand by freezing them, and tried to kill Piper with a fireball. Despite the Charmed Ones' best effort, the keeper was able to turn the tables, and was about to plunge the world into darkness when they summoned Trudy's spirit. With the two reunited, the keeper remembered what had gone wrong: he was the one who made the mistake that busted up the lighthouse, not by someone else's sabotage or by the universe's interference. With this new realization and Trudy's forgiveness, the keeper finally released his rage and the two moved on together.
