Belthazor

Belthazor was a very powerful Upper-Level Demon who had been around for one hundred years. Actually, being half-demon and half-human, he was the demon alter ego of Cole Turner. His father, Benjamin Coleridge Turner, was human and his mother, Elizabeth, was pure demon. He made his first appearance in the season 3 episode "Once Upon a Time." Because of his half-demonic ancestry, his blood is red even in demon form (Sleuthing with the Enemy).

Powers and Abilities
Belthazor was a powerful demon, he had killed countless witches, demons and innocents before Belthazor's human half fell in love with Phoebe Halliwell. Belthazor was one of the most powerful, feared demons and respected in the Underworld. He later battled Sykes, who had a similar demonic form as him and was killing witches. He lost control of himself when he embraced his demonic side completely and was vanquished as Belthazor but survived as Cole and became an innocent due to being vanquished by a power-stripping potion. He later returned when Cole changed reality to be with Phoebe but never changed into his demonic form.

Prue re-wrote the magic calling magic spell (used to summon Melinda Warren) to create the Belthazor Summoning Spell. Prue and Piper cast the spell to summon Belthazor, the first time he avoided their call, however since he was on the run, the second time a bounty hunter named Krell intercepted their spell. They later cast the spell again, this time aware it would summon Krell as he wanted to help them find Belthazor. ("Sleuthing with the Enemy")

In episode "All Halliwell's Eve," Cole was able to travel in time with a special potion. In" Bride and Gloom," Cole used Illusion and said that he had learned this trick from the Demon of Illusion. In "The Honeymoon's Over," he uses incineration to set a demon on fire. In episode "Magic Hour," Cole was able to swap books.
