Triad's Main Endgame
The Triad is a triple team, a group of 3 upper-level demons; and they stood at a high rank in the evil hierarchy. As many of you have noticed, The Triad of season three (will be denoted as TS3) doesn't quite measure up to this Triad of season eight (will be denoted TS8) in powers and actors. TS3 worked for The Source of all evil. They were males with black eyes. They wore long dark red-like robes, with an upside down pentacle (a magical amulet on which the symbol of a spirit being evoked is drawn). Each of the members possessed various power including fireballs, teleportaion and summoning demons. When they became aware of the existence of The Charmed Ones, TS3 began sending demons after them. When all of the sent demons failed, they ordered Belthazor to render the Halliwells dead. Belthazor came very close, but fell for the youngest of the three sisters -- Phoebe, which lead him to kill The Triad.
The new Triad (TS8) appeared in this season. Just like TS3, they are composed of 3 upper-level demons: Asmodeus, Baliel and Candor. They wear a black robe with an upside down pentagram (a 5-point unicursal star) in the front. Similar to TS3, each of TS8 possess many powers, some of which are fireballs and teleportation. But they also have the power to stop time, much like The Angel of Destiny did in the season four finale. TS8 were the evil forces behind the kidnapping of Christy Jenkins. They didn't personally handle matters; instead, TS8 hired demons to kidnap, guard and raise her in the way of evil -- in the way of The Triad. After Christy is saved 15 years after her abduction, The TS8 is exposed to The Charmed Ones by a former Traid memember, Xar. The Halliwells sever their power and their unity by killing two out of the three. But Christy soon finishes the job when Candor kills her parents.
Now that I have layed the background of The Triads, I'd like to pose a theory. What if many years ago, TS8 realized the trouble The Charmed Ones would bring and decided to set up a plan...a different plan...a plan bigger than Christy (which we already know). We know that no one other than those most loyal to The Source ever saw his true identity, maybe...just maybe The Triad played this tune as well. Maybe years before the Jenkins and The Charmed Ones, TS8 heard, saw or visited the future and didn't like what was to come. Or maybe they even heard it from Melinda Warren. It was prophesized by Melinda Warren in the year of 1692 before she was burned at the stake that "each generation of Warren witches would become stronger and stronger, culminating in the arrival of three sisters. These sisters would be the most powerful witches the world has ever known. They are good witches and are known as The Charmed Ones, the protectors of the innocent." One can surely assume that this amount of concentration would be highly desired or highly disliked, especially by demons and other hellfire creatures. So what if TS8 went into hiding. What if they created spiritual vessels for themselves (remember the pentacle on the TS3), combed over demons to occupy the sisters when they arrived, worked with seers to learn as much as they could about the sisters, finally discovered their strength (the sisterhood), and found another sisterhood that had the same potential as The Charmed Ones and who could be manipulated to take the Halliwells out. [Taylor said: Plus, The Triad probably used The Charmed Ones to take out their competition as well as keep them busy. The Halliwell sisters took out tons of demonic characters like The Source, Cole--The Source, Shax, Zankou and so many others.] TS8 then would be free to roam freely where they pleased and obtain world domination. Thus, ends the theory of The Triad's main endgame.
What do you think? Is it possible? Does it sound sound? Are there things that I have missed? Do you have anything to add?

Wow! Great theory Rudy. I'd like to add to your theory that The Triad probably used The Charmed Ones to take out their competition as well as keep them busy like you said. The Halliwell sisters took out tons of demonic characters like The Source, Cole--The Source, Shax, Zankou and so many others. I'll keep my eyes pealed tomorrow to see if Brad actually had things like this in mind or was it just some screwed up thing that just happened.
That's good. I'll add that portion to the post.
I added your portion and twisted my so that it would fit. But don't worry, your portion made it sing together better.
It's obvious that the Traid had a plan, but maybe it went further back as you say. It would make sense since the season three Triad is different. I wish, though, that the showrunners would at least acknowledge the difference. And it appears that Dumain was the architect behind the plan, but I found that a little too hard to imagine. A demon who preys on children outwits The Triad...sounds stupid. The Triad is this powerful trio and Dumain has powers, yes, but The Triad didn't rise up to one of the highest levels in the demonic hiearchy with out brains. It takes brains to outwit others, not just power. Case in point, The Charmed Ones. Time and time again they have beaten evil back.
Speaking of the hierarchy, what if there are others above the Triad? At first, we thought Christy. Now, we know The Triad. Then here comes Dumain. So why not a higher power?
Ow, good. That would be another twist to throw in.
However, it's:
Christy
Dumain
The Triad
Maybe The Source. He was brought in near the beginning of the season, but his appearance was "short lived" (hmmm...who said that?). They could have just been teasing us, after all Brad's writing it.
Of course. I was just typing in order of their Charmed appearances. And I think that The Source's first seer character said "short lived" in season four's Charmed Again.
As for The Source, it could be completely possible. He was the only one in my opinion who ever gave them a great run for their money.
That's right. That is right. I just kept hearing that portion and couldn't figure it out. Charmed Again...I'm going to have to remember that.
Oh, by the way, when the Triad first appear to Dumain, I loved the special effects of having at first the head and body of one Triad, then the head of another Triad show up on that body, then the other. Sweetness.
Hey. Hey. No one told me about a chat thing.
Wasn't planned. Just something that happened.
Hey guys. I'm rewatching Gone With The Witches and I'm at the part when the leprechauns go into the dark Triad room. Isn't funny that one of the leprachauns is using a camera to get evidence?
LOL. Yeah, why didn't they just use a video camera? It would have been easier.
Or the "witch wars" crystal cameras?
Heee hee. I know.
Speaking of the leprechauns, doesn't it seem weird that they are the only ones from the magical community that look similar to who we've seen in the past and that their costumes aren't at all what we have seen in the past? They seem cheaper, don't they?
That's one of the main gripes about this episode. I like the mythology, but the magcial entities are in cheesey, crappy costumes and not done well at all. Perhaps if they used some of the originals that we've seen in the past and their costumes, then it would be better.
yeah. I loved Melissa George as one of the valkyries and the ice cream man. Why can't we see another ice cream man?
Oh, I loved Melissa George.
And Thistle.
By the way, I couldn't believe that the magical community turn so quickly? Even with "someone whispering in [their] ears."
Okay, guys. I'm signing off. I got to get ready for this empowering new episode -- Kill Billie Vol. 2.
Ow. Me, too.
It is getting Charmed time. Post at ya later.
If the triad was so afraid of the charmed ones, why did they just off one of the warren witches before the charmed ones were born?
Because there would be no Charmed.
And no Charmed would be bad!
