Various demons attack the Charmed One's in an attempt to acquire Prue's power, most notably Whitaker Berman, a demon of Fear known as Barbas and Gabriel Statler, a Lord of War. Whitaker Berman was a wheelchair bound scientist who discovered a way to leap in to dreams, a power known as Dream Leaping. Whitaker targeted several women, his last being Prue. While taking a bath, Prue fell asleep and Whitaker appeared in her dream, scratching her back with a sponge. Prue believed it was only a dream until she looked into a mirror and saw the scratch marks on her back. Whitaker attacked her again, this time trying to persuade her to jump off a building to her death. Prue was able to overcome Whitaker and she killed him in the dream.
