Spellbinder

Spellbinder was an immensely powerful sorceror with a great love for his family and a high sense of morality.

Although little is known about Spellbinder's life, some key facts are revealed in the episode Where the Magic Happens. When Charmcaster was as young as nine years old, Spellbinder fought against Adwaita and allowed Hex and Charmcaster escape safely to Earth. He was immensely powerful because when Adwaita is hurt by Charmcaster, he is surprised but claims it to be immense magical mystical power inherited from Spellbinder. Despite being enemies from this it is clear that Adwaita still retained a level of respect for Spellbinder's power even after defeating him (although this did not stop him from using a projection of the late Spellbinder's voice to try and persuade Charmcaster to step from a ledge into a mystic sink hole). His sacrifice is still an emotional issue for Charmcaster, angering her to talk to Gwen about it and crying when hearing his voice for the first time in 12 years.

He appeared in The Enemy of My Frenemy. Without having a purpose to do so, he never turned evil, and was a good man. When he learned of Charmcaster's evil-doing to bring just him back, he revealed he died in hopes of giving her a chance at a normal life. He was also revolted at the thought of countless others being sacrified just to bring him back to life. He tells his daughter he loves her, but he cannot stay in the world of the living. He then returned to the Dark One (a sort of Grim Reaper-like, unseen creature who bargains souls for souls), and in return all the souls of Ledger Domain were returned.
