Nathaniel Pratt was a mortal neighbor of Prue, Piper and Phoebe Halliwell in 1999. In an alternate timeline, he prosecuted witches as a district attorney after magic was exposed to the world.
History
While walking around the neighborhood, Nathaniel allowed his dog to defecate in front of the Halliwell Manor. The sisters were annoyed and used their magic by freezing him and moving the dog's feces on his shoes. When he unfroze, Nathaniel spotted the sisters at the window and they quickly hid.
Phoebe then had a premonition of being burned at the stake by Nathaniel. The sisters cast a spell to transport themselves to 2009 and entered their future bodies. They soon learned that Nathaniel had successfully prosecuted Phoebe for the murder of Cal Greene with her magic. He used it as the launching point for a drive to rid San Francisco of all witches, and was considered a favorite for governor in 2010.
Prue and Piper rushed to save their sister, but Phoebe convinced them she needed to pay for her crime. By accepting this, the sisters learned a valuable lesson and were returned to the present. This time, Phoebe convinced her sisters not to use magic to punish the guilty. When the sisters saw Nathaniel's face, they realized their actions had probably led him to prosecute witches in the first place.
In 2008, when Cal Greene attempted to murder Phoebe's boss and close friend, Elise Rothman, she and her sisters used their magic to expose him as a criminal and he was later charged by Nathaniel.
