The Bail Bondsman had an agency in San Francisco. When Paige Matthews was arrested for a hit-and-run and later charged for vehicular homicide, Piper had to use the Halliwell Manor as collateral to post her bail. While disguised as Phoebe, the demon Kaia convinced Piper to do so under Cole's orders. After they left, the bondsman was revealed to actually be a shapeshifted Cole Turner, who set everything in motion to gain ownership of the manor.
