The Bennett Coven was a powerful coven of more than a hundred witches who were primarily led by the powerful Bennett bloodline, during their residence of what would later become Mystic Falls.
Currently, the Bennett bloodline is the only known remaining bloodline of the coven, though it is known that descendants of the other witches in the coven still exist.
History[]
The Bennett witches migrated to the area, that would later become Mystic Falls, in the 1690s from Salem to avoid the witch trial persecutions.
In 1790, their Coven leader, Beatrice Bennett's mother agreed to, and along with her coven, to enchant the Maxwell bell, giving it magical properties able to drive out the monsters that were terrorizing the town. However, Sybil sirens Ethan Maxwell to corrupt the bell with the staff of Arcadius and use the bell to unleash hellfire upon the town. She also sirens him not to speak a word to Beatrice. Ethan gets a coded message to her and she and her coven is able to save the town though at the sacrifice of their own lives. Beatrice and Ethan manage to lure both Sybil and Seline to the Armory's Vault through the underground tunnel system where she traps the siren sisters. Unfortunately, Ethan was sirened to kill her and she defends herself from him and seemingly, shuts him away in the secret room of the siren's treasures they've collected. She is spared once again to continue the Bennett bloodline.
In 1864, Emily Bennett would be burned in the same spot as her ancestral coven. There, she and along with the other witches that previous died there marked the Earth with power. In death, she became apart of the coven and guided her descendant, Bonnie.
