salem saberhagen (voiced by nick bakay) is a 500-year-old warlock who was a criminal of the other realm and was sentenced to spend 100 years as a cat as punishment for attempting to take over the world. he was sent to live with hilda who was punished with keeping salem worm-free. despite his megalomaniacal desires for world domination (which he attempts periodically throughout the series), he is generally portrayed as having a good heart and being a loyal friend to sabrina. in the series he would generally serve two roles: one as a mentor for sabrina, as she found it easier to go to him with her messier problems, or the trouble-maker, such as finding another illicit way to become human without being punished or convincing sabrina to use magic to solve her problems, both of which generally ended up putting sabrina in even more trouble. when sabrina's aunts left for the other realm, salem stayed with sabrina, and continued his attempts to become human. salem became good pals with harvey after he returned to the series, and would generally attempt to abuse this friendship to get some more power to take over the world. salem also went on vacations with sabrina in the made-for-television movies.
list of sabrina the teenage witch characters
originally, sabrina was created by her two aunts, hilda and zelda spellman, from a magic potion that turned out wrong. however, it was later retconned by the 1996 sabrina sitcom that sabrina is a "half-witch" (her mother is an ordinary human, or "mortal" as witches refer to them, while her father is a warlock). she lives with hilda and zelda (both witches themselves) in the fictional town of greendale, which is located somewhere near riverdale, the home of archie andrews, while her father is away. the 1996 live action series also gave sabrina and her aunts the last name “spellman”. also living with the three women as the family pet is salem saberhagen. in the original comic stories salem was a typical witch's cat who did not talk. the 1996 sitcom introduced the idea that salem was a witch who has been turned into a cat as punishment for world domination attempts.
