Guardian of the Urn

The Guardian of the Urn is a magical being that protects a priceless Egyptian urn, once owned by an ancient wizard. When the wizard died, a curse was placed on the urn. Witches and magic cannot lift it, and those who are cursed do not live to tell the tale. When the urn is stolen, the thief is visited by the beautiful yet merciless Guardian, and punished for their greed.

The Guardian feeds of the greed of others, though she can only punish thieves due to being bound to the curse. For this reason, she cannot harm those who commit a selfless deed, as doing so brings redemption from the curse.

History
In "Feats of Clay" the urn was stolen from a mansion in Cairo by three thieves, thus envoking the curse. One of these thieves was Clay Rivers, the ex-boyfriend of Phoebe Halliwell. The Guardian killed his friends for their greed and attempted to kill Clay. However, when the Charmed Ones tried to save him, Clay risked his own life to protect Phoebe. Because of this elfless act, Clay was redeemed by the Guardian, who then returned to the urn and restored it to it's rightful place.

Powers and Abilities
The Guardian is an immortal being that can teleport through a swirl of gold sparkles and smoke from her engraving on the Urn. She can transform objects into lethal animals such as spiders, snakes and scorpions, which she uses to kill those that have stolen the urn. She has a high resistance to the magical powers of a witch, as proven when Prue attempted to fling her across the room, which barely effected the Guardian. She was also able to teleport the urn back to it's rightful place.
