Notes and Trivia[]
Piper and Prue brewing the vanquishing potion
- The design for Belthazor was based on the character of Darth Maul in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, which came out the year prior to the premier of Season 3.
- Michael Bailey Smith, who portrayed Belthazor, also portrayed Shax, the Grimlock Janor in "All Halliwell's Eve", the Grimlock leader in "Bite Me" and the Source of All Evil in "All Hell Breaks Loose".
- The Book of Shadows contains a potion specifically to vanquish Belthazor. However, this contradicts his entry, which states there is no known way to vanquish him. However, since the book is passed down through generations, the potion could have been added later.
- The vanquishing potions for Belthazor have been created three times. First by Piper and Prue in "Sleuthing with the Enemy", then by Piper and Paige in "Black as Cole" for Sykes, a similar demon and a final time by Piper (of alternative reality) and Paige in "Centennial Charmed."
- Belthazor has the most pages in the Book of Shadows dedicated to him, having a total of four. The Cole Turner page was written by Phoebe, his main page was written by an unknown ancestor (certainly born before Penny, who created the vanquishing potion).
