Demons
Demons in the series are generally portrayed as cruel and sadistic, often taking pleasure in causing humans pain. They are also, as series creatorAbaddon
Primarily portrayed by actress Alaina Huffman, Abaddon is the last remaining Knight of Hell, a class of mighty demons who were among the first of their kind. Abaddon is too strong to be affected by exorcisms or to be killed by Ruby's knife. She is introduced in the eighth-season episode "As Time Goes By" in which she is sent to destroy the Men of Letters organization in 1958 and sets off in pursuit of Sam and Dean's grandfather, Henry Winchester, who escaped with the key to the Men of Letters' bunker. Wanting to break into the bunker to gain access to the powerful supernatural spells and artifacts inside, Abaddon follows Henry through time to the present and hunts him and his grandsons throughout the episode. As a result, she holds Sam hostage to force Dean to hand over Henry and the key, promising to let Sam and Dean go after the trade. Abaddon goes back on her agreement and ends up mortally wounding Henry, but not before he shoots her in the head with a bullet engraved with a devil's trap, binding her powers and her to her now-paralyzed host body. Sam and Dean then cut her up and bury her in cement to forever entomb her. In "Clip Show," Sam and Dean need a demon to cure for the third trial to close the gates of Hell, so they sew Abaddon back together to use her, without reattaching her hands or removing the bullet. Abaddon reveals that she had been sent to kill the priest who found a way to cure demons, and that while torturing him, she found out about the Men of Letters (including her host Josie Sands) from him. This ultimately resulted in her possessing Josie and attacking the Men of Letters. While Sam and Dean take a phone call from Crowley outside, Abaddon frees herself and escapes by controlling one of her severed hands and using it to remove the bullet from her skull. In the following episode, the season finale "Sacrifice," she arrives in response to Crowley's distress call but attacks him rather than help him. Abaddon declares her intention of taking over Hell, only to be driven away when Sam sets her ablaze in holy fire. Abaddon returns in the ninth season, her objectives to kill Crowley, become the Queen of Hell, and "turn all of humankind into her demon army." With Crowley being largely absent from Hell and having been deeply affected by the incomplete demon cure forced on him by the Winchesters, the intimidating Abaddon ends up winning the nearly unanimous support of the other demons. In "First Born," Crowley and Dean go to her maker, teacher, and former lover, Cain, to get hisAbraxas

Dipper is a minor demon portrayed by Shane Dean appearing in season 13 that is loyal to Asmodeus. In "Various & Sundry Villains," Dipper, armed with an angel blade, acts as a guard to the captive Lucifer and Castiel. Dipper greatly enjoys the two angels predicament and often taunts Lucifer about his lack of power and his attempt to use his powers on a stick while Lucifer impotently threatens Dipper and makes fun of his name. Dipper eventually returns to find Castiel and Lucifer arguing and Lucifer's stick gone. As Dipper taunts Lucifer about losing his stick, Lucifer suddenly pulls Dipper against the cell bars with telekinesis, burns through his warding and breaks his stick off in Dipper's neck. Lucifer explains to a shocked and terrified Dipper that anger is a good motivator and that he forgets that "I'm Lucifer." As Dipper turns around, he is confronted by an escaped Castiel who mocks that "someone got mad and broke his warding." Castiel smites Dipper and Lucifer steals Dipper's angel blade to arm himself for their escape. After killing four more demons that accost them after Dipper's death, Lucifer and Castiel succeed in escaping before Asmodeus can return.Drexel

Gerald, portrayed by Jackson Berlin and Viv Leacock, is a minor demon appearing season 10. He once mentions that he killed his own mother over cigarettes. In "Girls, Girls, Girls," Gerald runs a brothel alongside Raul and another demon to increase soul numbers following the war with Abaddon. The operation is interrupted by the witch Rowena MacLeod who hits Raul with a spell that liquifies the demon. Terrified, Gerald flees his vessel and possesses a nearby construction worker to report in to Crowley who is disgusted by Gerald and Raul's operation which Crowley finds to be just tacky. Gerald spurs Crowley to action against Rowena who is captured by a backup team led by Gerald after the main team is killed by the Winchesters. To his shock, Crowley realizes that Rowena is his own mother. In "The Things We Left Behind," Gerald, still possessing the construction worker, acts as a guard to Crowley's dungeon and eagerly urges Crowley to kill Rowena. Gerald offers to do it for Crowley if Crowley can't bring himself to do it, mentioning how he once killed his own mother. Rowena and the demon Trish later claim that Gerald is the one who is smuggling other demons out of Hell, enraging Gerald into strangling Rowena. When Gerald refuses to relent, Crowley kills him by stabbing Gerald through the back of the head and out of his mouth with an angel blade. Following Gerald's death, Crowley becomes more accepting of Rowena while it is revealed that Rowena and Trish lied and used Gerald as a scapegoat to gain Crowley's trust. Subsequently, in "The Hunter Games," Rowena reminds Guthrie how she exposed the "traitor" Gerald when he is reluctant to help her out.Grab
Grab is a demon thief appearing in season 13 portrayed by Matthew Kevin Anderson. He is described as an expert in bypassing supernatural security and is portrayed as more obnoxious than evil or malicious despite being a demon. Its implied that Grab is not actually his real name but an alias. In "The Scorpion and the Frog," Grab is hired by the Crossroads Demon Barthamus to work with the Winchesters and a human safe cracker named Alice to break into the vault of Luther Shrike and retrieve Barthamus' property. Grab is brought in to use his talents in bypassing supernatural security to locate the vault itself which can only be opened by Dean's blood. Once the Winchesters and Alice get onto Luther's property, Dean performs a summoning spell to bring Grab to them. Grab uses a spell to turn Dean into a sort of dousing rod, using the attraction between Dean's blood and the vault to find it. After the vault is found, Grab chooses to remain outside, apparently too afraid to go any further. While he waits outside the cellar containing the vault, Grab is confronted by Luther himself. Luther quickly kills Grab with Ruby's Knife and his body is later found by Alice. Barthamus shows no care for Grab's death and compels Alice to keep going.Guthrie

In "Girls, Girls, Girls," Raul chases after one of the girls, Tiana, who managed to escape. Raul catches up to Tiana and confronts her, leading to Tiana stabbing out Raul's right eye with a high-heeled shoe.

Before they can catch up with Raul, the witch Rowena MacLeod arrives at the brothel and tosses Raul a hex bag containing the ''Defigere Et Depurgare'' spell.

Simmons is a minor demon portrayed by Bethany Brown appearing in season 11 that is loyal toHunters
Hunters are men and women who spend their lives hunting supernatural creatures and attempting to save those affected by these creatures. Most appear to have had some kind of negative encounter with the supernatural, which prompts them to become hunters. While hunters, by their nature, operate 'off-the-grid, there are, nevertheless, hunter communities that meet and interact with each other to exchange information and stories; the Harvelle Roadhouse was one such location until it was burnt down. Typically, hunters find cases by consulting newspapers to track down information about suspicious deaths in certain areas. Some cases come about thanks to contact with people they knew before becoming hunters or contact with people they helped during previous hunts who turn to them for their expertise. Some hunters are shown to have particular targets, such as Sam and Dean's initial hunts in the show's first two seasons focusing on tracking the Yellow Eyed Demon who killed Dean and Sam's parents, or Gordon Walker 'specializing' in hunting vampires.Alex Jones
Annie "Alex" Jones, portrayed by Katherine Ramdeen, is a hunter appearing in ''Supernatural''. She is the adoptive daughter of Jody Mills and the adoptive sister of Claire Novak. She was first introduced in season 9's "Alex Annie Alexis Ann". Annie was kidnapped by vampires from her family at a young age, where she took the name Alex, and acted as bait for her vampire "family". She was adopted by Jody Mills after her vampire "family" was defeated, as they had both lost their families. After Claire Novak was adopted by Jody, the two girls were not close until Claire saves her from vampires who returned to take revenge on Alex. Alex later went to nursing school and got a job at the Sioux Falls hospital, and also began to be trained as a hunter. In "Damaged Goods," Donna Hanscum mentions that Alex took out two vetala by herself while updating Dean.Asa Fox
Asa Fox, portrayed by Shaine Jones as an adult and Jack Moore as a child is a legendary Canadian hunter appearing in ''Supernatural''. As shown in flashbacks in season 12's "Celebrating the Life of Asa Fox," in 1980, a twelve-year old Asa was attacked by a werewolf, an attack that left a lasting scar upon his face. Asa was saved by hunter Mary Winchester who had come out of retirement briefly to tie up some loose ends, including killing the werewolf and stopping its killing spree. Asa became interested in what Mary was doing, especially when she told him that she intended to return to retirement. Inspired by the encounter, Asa went on to become a hunter himself despite his mother's objections and became legendary in the hunting community. Asa wrote postcards throughout his life to Mary detailing his discoveries and hunts, but never sent them as he never learned her whereabouts. During his hunting trips, Asa had many trysts with local women, one of which, with witch Tasha Banes, resulted in two children, Max and Alicia. In 2016, Asa met Sheriff Jody Mills while on a ghoul hunt and, unaware that the sheriff was also a hunter, claimed that he was FBI agentBobby Singer
Charlie Bradbury
Charlie Bradbury (born Celeste Middleton) (played byApocalypse World Charlie Bradbury
In "Bring 'em Back Alive", Dean encounters an alternate reality version of Charlie who is a resistance fighter on Apocalypse World. This Charlie is shown to share many of the same traits as the Charlie Dean knew, although she is hardened by years of fighting. Still feeling guilty for the death of his Charlie, Dean convinces Arthur Ketch to help him lead a rescue mission for her. As Charlie is to be executed, Dean and Arthur attack the POW camp, killing several angels and liberating the prisoners. Though skeptical of Dean's story, Charlie is convinced by the door between Apocalypse World and Dean's universe. As Dean prepares to return to his own world before the door closes, Ketch chooses to stay behind with Charlie to help the resistance coordinate for Dean's inevitable return with reinforcements. As Dean leaves, Charlie and Ketch battle several angels together using guns loaded with angel-killing bullets. The alternate universe version of Charlie appears again in "Exodus", where Charlie meets Sam, who initially mistakes her for his reality's version of Charlie. Charlie and Ketch are captured by angels in a trap and about to be tortured for information by the evil alternate universe version of Castiel, but they are rescued by Sam, Dean, Jack and Castiel. Charlie then escapes into Sam and Dean's reality with the rest of her group where they then celebrate in the Bunker. In "Let the Good Times Roll" it is revealed in a conversation between Mary and alternate Bobby that Rowena and Charlie are "road-tripping it through the Southwest" together. Charlie reappears in season 14's "Optimism" where she goes on a hunt with Sam. Charlie reveals that she plans to retire after the hunt and highlights the many differences between herself and the Charlie of the Winchesters' world, including this Charlie finding and losing the love of her life during the Apocalypse. Charlie paints a grim picture of the Apocalypse in the world she came from for Sam and something of a lack of faith in humanity as a result. Working together, Sam and Charlie kill an insectoid monster called a Musca and save its latest victim. Sam convinces Charlie to at least reconsider abandoning the fight altogether after the hunt is over.Claire Novak

Garth Fitzgerald IV
Garth Fitzgerald IV, portrayed by DJ Qualls, is a hunter who generally works alone, although he has teamed up with the Winchester brothers on two occasions. Since Bobby's death and Sam and Dean's subsequent year-long absence, he has taken on Bobby's role as hunter coordinator, although he remains mobile where Bobby maintained a 'home base', carrying various cell phones around with him; he has even started wearing Bobby's hat and attempting to imitate Bobby's old phrases, although this has met with variable success. As part of this, he has started to track hunters via the GPS in their cell phones and assign them cases, something that creeps Sam out but Dean says is "very Bobby." Garth reveals that before he became a hunter, he was working to become a dentist and killed the Tooth Fairy on his first case. Garth eventually disappears sometime after "Taxi Driver" and is found by Sam and Dean in "Sharp Teeth" where he reveals that he was turned into a werewolf on a hunt two months before his disappearance and hid it. Garth has joined a pack of werewolves that peacefully coexist with humans and married one named Bess. After Sam and Dean find him, he introduces them to the pack and tries to convince them that everything is fine, however, members of the pack worship Fenris and want to rule over humanity. To this end, they kidnap, Garth, Bess and Sam, planning to murder Garth and Bess and frame Sam and Dean to goad the pack into returning to their old beliefs and bring about Ragnarok. Before the plot can be carried out, Dean comes to their rescue and kills the three werewolves involved. In the aftermath, Garth, who is upset to learn of Kevin's death and blames himself as he wasn't there for him, offers to return to hunting using his new powers to help fight. However, Dean recognizes that not all of the werewolves are bad and tells Garth to stay with his new family where he has found happiness. Needing help to discover Michael's plans, Garth returns in "The Spear," offering to go undercover and infiltrate the rogue Archangel's ranks as a werewolf seeking an enhancement. Having been briefed by Sam, he intended to fake taking the serum, but is later forced to consume it. Overwhelmed, he later attacks the approaching hunters, forcing Sam to subdue him and lock Garth in the Impala's trunk. Sam suggests that Michael was spying on them through his connection to Garth and they hope that killing Michael will free Garth from his control. Garth remains locked in the trunk throughout "Nihilism" with subsequent events preventing the original plan to retrieve Garth until after Michael is defeated and locked away in Dean's mind. In season 15's "The Heroes' Journey," Garth calls the Winchesters in for help after Bess' cousin Brad is found badly wounded by a Wraith. Garth is shown to have three children and named the youngest two after Sam and Castiel. With Sam and Dean now experiencing normal people problems, Garth and Bess help treat Dean's seventeen cavities and Sam's illness, Garth having become a dentist since he retired. After learning of the war with God, Garth suggests that as Sam and Dean were the heroes of God's story, he had protected them from such mundane issues but has since downgraded them to normal people since the Winchesters have fallen out of favor with God. Though Garth guesses that he's only a special guest star in the story, he suggests that its better than being the hero. When the Winchesters go after the monster fight club, they leave Garth behind rather than risk his normal life. However, Garth later shows up to rescue them, infiltrating the fight club and using C-4 (explosive), C4 to blow it all up. This and Garth saving them from the massive vampire Maul causes the Winchesters to suggest that Garth is the hero of the story this time. Garth directs the Winchesters to a place he has heard rumors of in Alaska where they might be able to regain their normal abilities and dances with Bess as they drive away.Gordon Walker
Gordon Walker, portrayed by Sterling K. Brown, is a vampire hunter whose methods often put him at odds with the Winchester brothers. Gordon focuses on eliminating the supernatural simply because it isn't human, where the Winchesters are more willing to tolerate supernatural entities that are not actively killing humans. Gordon takes pleasure in considering himself a killer who freely resorts to torture, where Sam and Dean regard themselves as Hunters who only kill when they must and do nothing to their enemies that the situation doesn't force upon them. When Gordon was 18 years old, a vampire broke into his house and abducted his sister. Gordon ran away from home, learned how to fight, hunt, and kill vampires, and tracked down the vampire who had taken his sister. He killed the vampire, and his sister, who had been turned, marking the beginning of his hatred for the undead. At some point during his career as a hunter, Gordon met John Winchester and Ellen Harvelle. Ellen described him as a skilled hunter in the sense that Hannibal Lecter is a good psychiatrist, being good at his job but dangerous to everyone else around him. Gordon is introduced in the episode "Bloodlust", meeting up with Sam and Dean while hunting a nest of vampires. At first, Dean bonds with Gordon, but Gordon proves himself to be bloodthirsty and sadistic as he tortures one of the captured vampires, even though he knows these particular vampires feed off cattle blood and do not kill humans. After Gordon tries to force one of the vampires to drink Sam's blood while torturing her with dead man's blood, Dean, seeing the vampire resist the urge, ends up beating Gordon in a fight and leaves Gordon tied to a chair while the vampires escape. Later, while performing an exorcism, Gordon learns about the coming demonic war, Azazel's special children, and Sam's powers. In "Hunted", he kills Scott Carey- another of the 'special children'- and then tracks Sam down and tries to kill him, convinced that Sam and those like him are 'traitors' to humanity. However, Dean intervenes, and, after a scuffle, Gordon knocks Dean out, ties him up, and uses him as bait to catch Sam in a booby trap of grenades set with trip wires. Sam manages to evade the trap and knocks Gordon out. As the brothers leave the damaged house, Gordon regains consciousness and chases them, firing two pistols in their direction. The police arrive to subdue Gordon, based on an anonymous tip from Sam, and find his cache of weapons in his car. In "Bad Day at Black Rock," Gordon is shown to be in prison, where he convinces a visiting fellow hunter to go after Sam Winchester, convinced that Sam was involved in the opening of the Devil's Trap regardless of Bobby Singer, Bobby's claims that Sam was actually trying to stop it. Gordon eventually escapes from prison and, once again, pursues the Winchester brothers in "Fresh Blood". However, he is captured and subsequently turned by a vampire. Gordon, however, turns on his sire, kills two other vampires, and then sets up a trap for the Winchester brothers, still convinced it is his duty as a hunter to rid the world of Sam Winchester. A fight ensues in a warehouse where Gordon holds a girl he has kidnapped—and turned—to use as bait, ending with Sam decapitating him with a garotte improvised out of razor wire. According to series creator Eric Kripke, Gordon was originally going to learn about the hunter Sam killed while possessed and use it to convince more hunters to turn against Sam. This was intended to be a story arc stretching over multiple episodes. However, Sterling K. Brown was contracted for the Lifetime Television series ''Army Wives'', and Lifetime would only allow him to return to ''Supernatural'' for two more episodes.Gwen Campbell
Gwen Campbell, portrayed by Jessica Heafey, is a hunter and third cousin related to Sam and Dean's mother's side of the family. When Sam re-enters Dean's life in "Exile on Main Street", he reveals that he has been back for a year and hunting with the Campbells, including Gwen. She and the others assist the brothers in defeating a Djinn. Gwen is present at the compound in "Two and a Half Men" when the brothers arrive with a baby Shapeshifter, and is overpowered, along with the others, when the Alpha Shapeshifter arrives. When hunting the Alpha Vampire in "Family Matters", she is ordered to stay behind and flush out any stragglers with Dean. She and Dean fight well together, and she covers for Dean when he disobeys orders. However, she sides with Samuel at the end of the episode when she holds the Winchesters at gunpoint, and follows him even when it is revealed that he has been working for Crowley. She is next seen in "...And Then There Were None", hunting with Samuel. While investigating a series of murders, they encounter Bobby, Rufus, Sam and Dean. Gwen tells Dean that she did not know that Samuel had betrayed them to Crowley. The creature responsible for the deaths—dubbed the Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Khan Worm—infects Dean, who kills Gwen.Henry Winchester
Henry Winchester, played by Gil McKinney, is John Winchester's father, Sam and Dean's grandfather and a member of the secret society known as the Men of Letters. Vanishing in 1958, Henry was believed by his son to have run out on his family.In ''Supernatural''
In "As Time Goes By," on August 12, 1958, the night of Henry's official initiation into the Men of Letters, the order is attacked by the demon Abaddon who is possessing Henry's friend Josie Sands. As the demon slaughters everyone else, Henry is given a mysterious box by surviving Men of Letters Elder Larry Ganem and ordered to protect it from Abaddon. Escaping through time, Henry ends up coming out of his grandsons' motel room closet in the year 2013, having overshot his attempt to get help from John closer to his own time. Henry's arrival and search for John creates much confusion for the Winchesters who only knew of him as their grandfather who had supposedly run out on John when he was four. Henry reveals to Sam and Dean their family's history with the Men of Letters, a family legacy going back centuries that the Winchesters had been unaware of as Henry hadn't been around to pass it on to John and the order had been wiped out by Abaddon. However, Henry expresses disgust that his grandsons are hunters due to having a low view of hunters in general. Learning of his son's fate, Henry attempts to travel back in time and change things, but he is stopped by Dean. At the same time, Sam learns from Larry Ganem that the box contains a key that opens a veritable supernatural treasure trove that must never fall into Abaddon's hands. After the demon captures Sam, Dean agrees to trade Henry and the box for Sam, but the two men conspire together to defeat the demon. Henry is able to trap Abaddon in Josie's body with a devil's trap bullet to the head, but he is mortally wounded in the process. Unable to kill the powerful demon, Dean takes advantage of Henry trapping her to cut the demon up and bury the pieces in order to forever entomb her. Henry dies in his grandsons' arms, content with his own sacrifice, apologizing for his earlier disgust of them being hunters and proclaiming that as long as the Winchesters are still around, there's still hope. He also expresses his pride in John, confident that he was a good man based on what he saw in Sam and Dean. Sam and Dean bury Henry near his friends from the Men of Letters and decide to embrace the family legacy that Henry had introduced to them. In "Everybody Hates Hitler," the Winchesters locate the Men of Letters bunker, the place that the key Henry was guarding opens and it becomes their new base of operations. In "Blade Runners," Sam and Dean get the attention of expelled Man of Letters Cuthbert "Magnus" Sinclair by revealing that they are Henry's grandsons. Magnus reveals that before his expulsion from the Men of Letters in 1956, he was Henry's mentor in the order. Calling Henry something of a rebel, Magnus comments that Henry would continue to visit him even after he was kicked out. In "Mother's Little Helper," shortly before their initiation into the Men of Letters, Henry and Josie are sent to investigate possible demonic possessions at a convent. This field mission is their final test before their official initiation, but Henry expresses doubts about joining the order and the dangers that come with it. It's also implied that Josie harbors unrequited romantic feelings for Henry. Unbeknownst to Henry and Josie, several of the nuns, including the Mother Superior, are possessed by Abaddon and her followers who are stealing souls for their own purposes. Henry and Josie manage to exorcise two of the demons, but prove to be no match for Abaddon who knocks Henry out. Josie manages to convince the Knight of Hell to possess her instead of Henry and the surviving demons fake a win by Henry and Josie. In reality, Abaddon plots to infiltrate and then destroy the Men of Letters. Unaware of the truth, Henry departs with Abaddon, his faith in his purpose renewed. In the present, Sam learns of these events from a nun who had witnessed what had happened and connects it to his grandfather. Confronting and killing the other remaining demon from 1958, Sam learns that the demons had been stealing souls in order to create their own demon army loyal only to Abaddon. In "King of the Damned," Abaddon incapacities Crowley with a devil's trap bullet, something that she credits to learning from Henry. Abaddon also uses the time travel spell that Henry had used to escape to 2013 in order to kidnap Crowley's son Gavin from the past as leverage against him. In the fight that follows, Dean finally kills Abaddon with the First Blade, avenging Henry's death. In "Family Feud," Sam mentions that Henry had previously used the spell when the Winchesters prepare to use it to return Gavin to his own time. In "Lebanon," when a time displaced John from 2003 appears in the bunker, Sam and Dean tell him the truth about what had happened to his father and that Henry would likely be really happy to see John in the bunker.In ''The Winchesters''
In "Pilot," on March 23, 1972, John returns home from fighting in the Vietnam War, having managed to enlist underage by forging Henry's signature on a waiver. During his trip home, a man mysteriously appeared and then disappeared after giving John a letter from Henry telling John that if John has gotten this letter, then Henry is gone. However, there is a dangerous world out there and that the Winchester family has been involved in fighting that danger for centuries. Henry's letter provides John with an address that promises to hold the answers that John seeks and a key to it. The address turns out to be a Men of Letters clubhouse in Lawrence, Kansas where John recovers a number of his father's belongings from Henry's locker and finds himself drawn into the hunting life and the Men of Letters' fight against the Akrida. Henry's wife and John's mother Millie later admits that she knew the truth about Henry's work as a Man of Letters, but had kept it from John in order to protect him. Ada Monroe tells John that she knew Henry who had once come to her looking for a book about Wraiths. However, Ada doesn't know what happened to Henry or the other Men of Letters who had vanished in 1958.Jesse and Cesar Cuevas
Jesse and Cesar Cuevas, portrayed by Valin Shinyei and Hugo Ateo respectively are a pair of married hunters appearing in season 11. In a flashback to 1989 in Gunnison, Colorado in "The Chitters," a twelve-year old Jesse witnesses his older brother Matty get taken by monsters. In the present day, Jesse and his husband Cesar appear in time to save Dean from the same monsters who Jesse identifies as Bisaan, Malaysian cicada spirits who emerge every twenty-seven years to possess people and breed. Driven by a need for revenge for the loss of his brother, Jesse has returned with Cesar to hunt the monsters down. Cesar privately admits to Dean that if they don't get the Bisaan, Jesse is willing to wait another twenty-seven years for his chance. On Sam's suggestion, Jesse and Sam visit the former sheriff while Dean and Cesar hunt down the burrow. Jesse and Sam learn from the sheriff that he had managed to track down the Bisaan, but discovered his daughter to be one of them. After being forced to kill his daughter in self-defense and believing the monsters to be dying, the sheriff lied to cover the whole thing up. He gives Sam and Jesse the location of the burrow which is located by Dean and Cesar at the same time. The two hunters find the pregnant mothers already dead and are attacked by the two surviving Bisaan. Dean and Cesar kill the creatures through decapitation and end the nightmare. By the time Jesse arrives, the Bisaan are already dead, but he is allowed to be the one to burn the eggs to ensure the cycle will never repeat itself again. In the Bisaan lair, Jesse discovers his brother's remains along with the corpses of all of the Bisaan's other victims. While the Winchesters deal with the other corpses, Jesse gives Matty a Hunter's Funeral and is finally able to lay his past to rest. Though the Winchesters consider asking Jesse and Cesar for help against the Darkness, the two men reveal that they are retiring from the life, having planned for the Bisaan hunt to be their last if they succeeded. Jesse and Cesar tell the Winchesters they have bought a horse farm in New Mexico they will retire to and Jesse is also a former EMT if they need another source of income. Sam and Dean choose to let the two men leave, agreeing that a hunter who gets their revenge and actually decides to leave the life deserves to have that chance.Jo Harvelle

Lily Sunder, portrayed by Alicia Witt, is a professor of apocalyptic literature turned angel hunter appearing in season 12. She reappears in season 14 portrayed by Veronica Cartwright. In the late-nineteenth to early-twentieth century, Lily worked as a professor of apocalyptic literature and was fascinated by angels. She eventually found a spell to summon one, Ishim, who taught her the secrets of the angels. However, Ishim grew dangerously obsessed with Lily. Recognizing that Ishim was a monster, Lily left him and married the Seraphim Akobel for protection. However, in 1901, Ishim came after her for revenge. Accompanied by the angels Benjamin, Mirabel, Castiel and two others, Ishim arrived under the pretense that Lily's daughter May was a Nephilim that had to be killed. Akobel ordered Lily to run while he confronted the angels and was killed. Ishim faced Lily alone and murdered May in front of her before leaving Lily alive. Desiring revenge, Lily began using Enochian magic to give herself immortality and various powers at the cost of parts of her soul burning away each time she used them. After the Fall of the Angels in 2013, Lily took advantage of the angels' weakened state to kill two of Ishim's garrison that had participated in murdering her family over the next few years. In 2017, in "Lily Sunder Has Some Regrets," Lily confronts Benjamin in an arcade and engages the angel in battle. After allowing Benjamin to put out a distress call, Lily kills him with an angel blade. Lily next confronts Mirabel outside of a diner where she is meeting with Ishim and Castiel, Lily's last targets. Lily quickly kills Mirabel and turns her attention to Ishim when he emerges. Lily's new powers grant her immunity to Ishim's smiting and she wounds him, but the fight is interrupted by the Winchesters and Castiel. After being wounded herself and not wanting to harm humans, Lily uses a blast of white light to blind everyone and flees in a rental car to her hotel where she heals her injuries. After learning the story of what happened in 1901, the Winchesters track Lily down through her rental car to try to convince her not to go after Castiel. Learning that they believe May to have been a Nephilim, Lily tells them the truth about what happened. Sam and Dean believe her and Dean goes off to find Castiel while Lily stays with Sam and convinces him of the threat Ishim poses to Dean. Lily and Sam arrive as Ishim prepares to kill Dean and Lily engages Ishim in battle. Even aided by the Winchesters Lily proves to be no match for Ishim who fights through her telekinesis and prepares to kill her with his angel blade. To Lily's shock, she's saved by Castiel who kills Ishim from behind with his angel blade. Though Lily gets her revenge with Ishim's death, she is left unsure of whether or not she can let go of her vengeance against Castiel due to revenge being all she's had for over a century. Castiel apologizes to Lily and promises that if she finds she can't forgive him and wants to come after him for revenge again one day, he will be waiting for her. In tears, Lily thanks Castiel and departs, presumably off to start a new life. In "Byzantium," Sam calls Lily for help in hopes that she can translate Kevin Tran's notes on the angel tablet and find a way to bring back the deceased Jack. Now elderly as she has stopped using the magic that prolonged her life, Lily can't read the tablet notes but offers a way to save Jack using her Enochian magic which will allow Jack's own soul to sustain him. In return, Lily asks that the Winchesters ensure her admittance into Heaven, explaining that she still has a sliver of her soul left and wishes to be reunited with her daughter when she dies. The Winchesters summon Anubis who weighs Lily's soul and determines that she will go to Hell. Anubis explains that only a person's choices determine their final destination and he can't change Lily's fate. Despite this setback, Dean convinces Lily to help them so that they won't have to experience the loss of a child as she did. Lily succeeds in helping to resurrect Jack and to cure his condition. Moments after Jack's resurrection, Lily suffers a fatal heart attack and quietly dies. In the afterlife, Lily is greeted by Anubis who again weighs her soul and determines that Lily can now enter Heaven. Lily is implied to have known that helping Jack would be fatal to her and helped anyway and that this selfless action changed her fate. Anubis sends Lily's soul off to be reunited with her daughter at long last with Lily smiling in happiness and peace.Mary Winchester
Mary Winchester (née Campbell) regularly portrayed by Samantha Smith (actress), Samantha Smith but depicted by Amy Gumenick in the time-travel episodes "Supernatural (season 4)#ep63, In the Beginning" and "Supernatural (season 5)#ep95, The Song Remains the Same" while a younger version played byIn ''Supernatural''
Dean, sent back in time by the angel Castiel, unknowingly brings Mary to Azazel's attention through his actions. Azazel kills her parents and then-boyfriend John Winchester, after which he bargains with Mary for John's life, offering to resurrect John if she allows him to enter her house ten years later. Not knowing Azazel's intentions, she agrees, eventually marrying John and leaving the life of a hunter. Sometime afterward, when she is pregnant with Dean, the adult Dean and Sam visit her again to warn her of Anna Milton, who intends to kill Mary before she could give birth to her sons and thus avert the Apocalypse. She is successfully protected when Michael possesses John to kill Anna, then erases Mary's memories so history remains the same. In 1980, Mary briefly returns to hunting to "tie up some loose ends." This includes traveling to Manitoba, Canada and killing a werewolf that she has some kind of history with. In the process, Mary saves the life of a young boy named Asa Fox, inspiring him to become a legendary hunter in the process. In the Pilot (Supernatural), pilot episode, six months after Sam's birth in 1983, Mary was awakened by sounds of him crying in his crib. She discovered Azazel there - later revealed to have been feeding Sam his demonic blood - and confronted him, but was pinned to the ceiling by him and slashed across her abdomen, eventually bursting into flames. According to "The Kids Are Alright", Azazel then killed all of her remaining friends and acquaintances, presumably so her children would not have any leads as to her death. It is revealed in "Home (Supernatural), Home" that Mary has been acting as a guardian spirit of the Winchesters' old home in Lawrence, Kansas. She fights the poltergeist haunting the house and forces both spirits to leave. As a thank-you gift for making her and God reconcile in "Alpha and Omega (Supernatural), Alpha and Omega", the Darkness brings back Mary as she appeared at the time of her death. She is informed by Dean about the events that transpired in the 33 years since her death; to her dismay, she learns that John is dead and that her efforts to protect her family from the hunter world are futile. In season 12, Mary struggles to adapt to the world that has changed greatly from what she once knew and the changes in her sons. Mary's struggle leads her to isolate herself from her children while her desire to create a world free of monsters leads to Mary allying with the British Men of Letters, particularly their top assassin Arthur Ketch. Mary is shown to be a hunter with formidable skills, described by Arthur as the best hunter he has ever seen. Mary herself states that she was good at hunting before she gave the life up. Mary's association with the British Men of Letters leads to her being brainwashed into a mindless assassin used to kill the American hunters. After being captured by Jody Mills, Mary's brainwashing is broken by Dean with the help of Lady Toni Bevell in time for Mary to kill Arthur Ketch and save Dean's life. Reunited with her children, Mary attends to Kelly Kline as she gives birth to Lucifer's Nephilim son Jack and sacrifices herself to trap Lucifer in the alternate reality known as Apocalypse World, trapping herself with him. In season 13, Mary is trapped in Apocalypse World while her sons attempt to rescue her. Originally trapped with Lucifer, Mary is captured and tortured by the archangel Michael, the ruler of Apocalypse World. An attempt by her sons to rescue her leads to Lucifer's son Jack being trapped with Mary as well. Working together, Jack and Mary escape Michael's fortress and link up with some of the surviving human population led byIn ''The Winchesters''
In "Pilot," on March 23, 1972, a young Mary meets John Winchester as he returns home from fighting in the Vietnam War. Mary later rescues John from a demon and reluctantly introduces him to the world of the supernatural. Mary's father Samuel has recently gone missing while on a hunting trip and has sent Mary to recover a schematic from an old Men of Letters clubhouse of a mysterious box. Teaming up with John and her friends Carlos Cervantez and Latika Dar, Mary pursues both her missing father and the box. Mary reveals to John that she is consumed with guilt over the recent death of her cousin Maggie and seeks to leave the hunting life as a result. Although the group is unable to find Samuel, they do succeed in locating the box which is able to trap and kill demons. Ada Monroe reveals that Samuel was seeking the box as it is the only thing that can kill the Akrida, a malevolent force not of this world that seeks to invade and destroy all manner of life. While the Men of Letters had stopped them in the past, they are gone now, leaving the Akrida free to invade. Mary decides to continue Samuel's work as well as to continue her search for her father with John, Carlos, Latika and Ada joining her.Rufus Turner
Rufus Turner, portrayed by Steven Williams, is a semi-retired hunter who helped Bobby Singer when his wife, Karen Singer, was possessed by a demon. Rufus exorcised the demon and helped cover up Karen's death. It is Rufus who introduced Bobby to the world of the supernatural, and they hunted together for many years until a hunt went wrong in Omaha, Nebraska, and someone important to Rufus died. They became estranged after this. Fifteen years later, Rufus responds to Bobby's request for information on Bela Talbot and helps Dean locate her in "Time Is On My Side." He returns to active hunting after Lucifer rises and the Apocalypse begins. Rufus is introduced in the third-season episode "Time Is on My Side" when Bobby, who has not heard from Rufus in about 15 years, receives a phone call in which Rufus alerts him to the whereabouts of Bela Talbot. Dean visits Rufus, even though Sam opposes the idea of hunting for Bela, as they have only a couple of weeks until Dean's deal runs out. Rufus presents Dean with a manila folder on Bela, which gives Dean new and interesting details from her past. Rufus appears off-screen in "When the Levee Breaks", when he calls Bobby with news of more of the 66 Seals being broken. In "Good God Y'All", Rufus heads to a town he thinks is under attack from demons, based on omens of a polluted river and a falling star. He calls Ellen, Jo, and Bobby for help. When Sam and Dean arrive, he and Jo have been separated from Ellen. Jo and Rufus capture Sam, thinking he is possessed. Later, Ellen and Dean help break the spell Red horseman, War has over them. Bobby talks on the phone to Rufus about omens that may indicate the appearance of Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse#White Horse, Death, in "The Devil You Know". In "Weekend at Bobby's", Rufus arrives at Singer Salvage Yard to dispose of the body of an apparently dead Kuraokami, Okami. Bobby assists him and helps him evade capture by the FBI. However, the Okami is revealed to still be alive and is subsequently dispatched by Bobby. Afterward, Rufus uses his contacts to uncover information on Crowley's life as a human and later steals a signet ring from a museum which once belonged to Crowley's son as part of Bobby's attempt to regain his soul from the demon. Rufus investigates the same case as the Winchesters and Bobby, in "...And Then There Were None". The group later encounters Samuel and Gwen Campbell, and discover that the monster is a new breed created by Eve, the "Khan Worm." After Gwen and Samuel are killed, Rufus is stabbed by a possessed Bobby. As cremation is not undertaken in the Jewish tradition, Rufus is buried in a Jewish cemetery rather than given a Hunter's funeral pyre. Bobby pours some of Rufus' favorite drink—Johnnie Walker Blue Label—on the grave before taking a drink himself. After becoming comatose from being shot in the head by Dick Roman, Bobby relives various memories of Sam, Dean, Karen, his family, and Rufus. Remembering Rufus has a traumatic effect on Bobby, and he reveals to Rufus that he is just a memory appearing in Bobby's comatose mind. While initially disbelieving, Rufus accompanies Bobby in a quest through the past in which Bobby confronts his worst memories to momentarily recover from his gunshot wound. In "Safe House", flashbacks show a case Bobby and Rufus worked together during the fourth season where Rufus called Bobby for help on an apparent haunted house. However, the two eventually realized they were dealing with a being known as a Soul Eater rather than a ghost. Unable to kill the Soul Eater, Rufus painted a sigil that would trap it, but the Soul Eater pulled Bobby's soul out of his body and into its "nest" outside of time and space, using Bobby to attack Rufus. Rufus subdued the possessed Bobby and finished the sigil, trapping the Soul Eater in its nest. He later leaves Bobby the bottle of Johnny Walker Blue found by Sam and Jody Mills in "Time After Time" since Bobby was right about what they were dealing with and brushes off Bobby's concerns about how he escaped the nest.Sam Winchester
Samuel Campbell
Samuel Campbell, portrayed by Mitch Pileggi and Tom Welling, is the maternal grandfather of Sam and Dean Winchester, and Sam Winchester's namesake.In ''Supernatural''
He and his wife Deanna are revealed to be hunters in the fourth-season episode "In the Beginning", where Dean is transported back in time. Dean discovers that Samuel is being possessed byIn ''The Winchesters''
In "Pilot," in March 1972, Samuel vanishes after opening a secret tomb hidden in a New Orleans cemetery. Before he disappears, Samuel directs Mary to retrieve a schematic from a mysterious box from a Men of Letters clubhouse, but he keeps the true purpose of his actions a secret, alarming her as this is something that Samuel never does. Mary teams up with John Winchester, Carlos Cervantez and Latika Dar to find her missing father and the box. The group uncovers that it is a weapon created by the Men of Letters that can trap and destroy monsters and locate it in the secret tomb that Samuel had opened. However, there is no sign of Samuel himself. Ada Monroe, who had been helping Samuel to search through various Men of Letters properties, reveals that Samuel had learned of the existence of the Akrida, monsters not of this world who want to invade, destroy all manner of life on Earth and take over the world for themselves. With the Men of Letters gone and no longer able to stop them, Samuel has been attempting to stop the Akrida by finding where they cross over into this world and using the box - the only thing that can kill them - to stop them. Mary and her friends decide to both continue the search for Samuel and to finish what he started.Samuel Colt
Based on the Samuel Colt, historical gun maker of the same name, Samuel Colt is a hunter who lived in the 19th century and the creator of The Colt (Supernatural), the Colt—a gun that can kill almost any supernatural being; Lucifer revealed that he is one of five supernatural beings immune to its powers. Colt also designed the locked door that keeps the portal to Hell known as the Devil's Gate from opening. The Devil's Gate and the Colt gun are linked together—the gun serves as the key to the gate, allowing it to be opened by inserting the Colt's muzzle into the key hole. Colt also built a railroad of iron, in the shape of a pentagram with a church at each of the points, around the devil's gate to further ensure that it was demon-proof. Colt was portrayed by Sam Hennings in the season six episode "Frontierland". Sam and Dean, when looking for a method of destroying Eve, come across Colt's journal which reveals that the hunter had killed a phoenix in 1861. As the ashes of a phoenix are needed to kill Eve, Castiel sends Sam and Dean back in time to retrieve them. Although Samuel is initially reluctant to assist Sam, he eventually gives him the Colt which Dean kills the phoenix with. When Sam and Dean are pulled back to the present day without the ashes, it is revealed that Colt sent a courier package 150 years ago containing the ashes, which arrives at Bobby's door. He was able to figure out how to use Sam's cell phone, which he left behind (and which Colt sent back to him), and learned the date and Bobby's address from it.Walt and Roy
Walt and Roy are two hunters first appearing in season 5's "Dark Side of the Moon (Supernatural), Dark Side of the Moon." Having learned of Sam's role in starting the Apocalypse, the two hunters ambush the Winchesters in a motel room with the intention of killing Sam whom they see as a monster. After Dean recognizes both men, they decided to kill both Winchesters rather than risk Dean's wrath. Dean promises that when he inevitably returns, he will hunt them down and kill them for revenge. The Winchesters are sent to Heaven after the murder and are eventually resurrected by the angel Joshua on the orders of God. Both Walt and Roy return in season 12's "Who We Are" as two of the hunters called in to help deal with the British Men of Letters situation by Jody Mills. Having not seen the Winchesters since murdering them in "Dark Side of the Moon," the reunion is somewhat awkward, but Dean assures both men that there are no lasting hard feelings over their actions. Walt and Roy join Sam's assault on the British Men of Letters base with Roy even saving Sam's life from a British operative that Sam misses. Roy is killed during the assault by another operative that Sam shoots moments later, but Walt survives. Walt, who acts as the team's explosives expert, joins Sam and Jody in confronting Doctor Hess and follows Sam's lead during the confrontation. Walt is mentioned again in season 13's "Wayward Sisters" as one of the hunters contacted by Alex Jones when the Winchesters disappear. Like the other hunters, Walt has seen no sign of them but promises to keep looking.Other humans
Adam Milligan
Adam Milligan, portrayed by Jake Abel is the illegitimate son of John Winchester and the half-brother of Sam andAmelia Richardson
Amelia Richardson, portrayed by Liane Balaban, is a veterinarian living in Kermit, Texas. Her father is Stan Thompson. Amelia was married to a man named Don Richardson, who was thought to have been killed while serving in Afghanistan. She and Sam Winchester meet when he hits a dog and brings it into her place of work. They begin a relationship and share a house for some months in Kermit before she discovers that her husband is still alive. Sam leaves to allow her to reconnect with her husband. Amelia reappears in a flashback in season 11's "The Devil in the Details." While going through Sam's memories,Arthur Ketch
Arthur Ketch, portrayed by David Haydn-Jones, is a former British Man of Letters. Ketch is first mentioned while Lady Toni Bevell is torturing Sam for information. When all their methods prove fruitless, Ms. Watt suggests bringing in Ketch; however, Toni is vehemently against it. He's also shown in a flashback killing a vampire, identifiable by the tattoo on his hand. Later on, Mick Davies retrieves Toni and informs her that he has sent for Ketch, who is shown preparing to leave the UK. This leaves Toni visibly uncomfortable. In "Season 12, American Nightmare", Ketch drives up to the Impala on a motorcycle and stares at it or a moment before driving away. He later tracks down and kills Magda Peterson, telling someone on the phone that he cleaned up the Winchesters mess and they were right about the Winchesters being unable to kill her. In "LOTUS", Ketch rescues the Winchesters and Castiel from the Secret Service and orders Castiel to wipe their memory before introducing himself. That night, Arthur explains that his job is to "strongly encourage" the Winchesters cooperation with the British Men of Letters and was sent by Mick Davies after Sam called him and hung up. Ketch has Castiel confirm that he's not lying and shows them his arsenal of weapons, including a hyperbolic pulse generator capable of exorcising a demon from its vessel. Recognizing its potential, Sam asks to borrow it and for Ketch to trust them. Ketch eventually gives the Winchesters the generator, enabling them to force Lucifer from President Jefferson Rooney and send Lucifer back to his Cage. Six weeks later, Castiel contacts Arthur Ketch and Mick to help him and Mary find Sam and Dean who have been taken prisoner by the Secret Service. The two men are impressed to learn that the brothers had in fact borrowed Arthur's gadget to deal with Lucifer himself. They agree to help in hopes that it will earn them the trust of the American hunters, and through their connections, Arthur and Mick locate Sam and Dean near Site 94. Once the four encounter Sam and Dean, Arthur is unimpressed to learn that they left survivors. Sam insists the people pursuing them were just soldiers doing their job, though Arthur considers it "unprofessional". Sam, Dean and Castiel head to Mary's car while glaring at Arthur suspiciously. Arthur and Mick watch them drive off and share a knowing look at each other. It is later revealed that Arthur went back and killed all those involved in Sam and Dean's imprisonment, including Agent Rick, Agent Camp, the soldiers and the coroner. Mick reports this while noting that cleaning up loose ends is Arthur's job. In "Stuck in the Middle (With You)", Mary visits Arthur after stealing the Colt and tells him the story of its theft from Ramiel. Mary is enraged that Arthur sent her after a Prince of Hell which got Wally killed and threatens to destroy the British Men of Letters if something happens to her sons. Arthur apologizes, claiming not to have known that she was going after a Prince of Hell. Arthur and Mary discuss the legend of the Colt as an excited Arthur unwraps it. In "The Raid", Mary and Arthur take out a vampire nest together and Arthur expresses his dislike for them trying to recruit the Winchester brothers when they have Mary. Arthur later visits Dean at the Men of Letters bunker and sits down for a drink with him. Rather than trying the sales pitch of the other British Men of Letters, Arthur is frank with Dean about his motives, telling Dean that he is a killer and the British Men of Letters offer him the best chance to express his talents. Arthur sees Dean as the same as him and the two decide to take down a vampire nest together. At the nest, Arthur initially arms himself with a gun, but decides to use a machete instead like Dean. The two men find only one vampire hiding in the nest and Arthur beats upon her before Dean stops him to try things his way. When Dean promises to grant the vampire a quick end, she tells them that her nest is going after the British Men of Letters. Alarmed, Dean and Arthur rush back to the British Men of Letters compound to find that Sam has killed the Alpha Vampire and the surviving vampires have fled. Mick berates Arthur who tells him he was trying to recruit Dean and would have succeeded if Mick's operation hadn't screwed things up. He then takes the rogue hunter Pierce Moncrieff for punishment. In season 13, a resurrected Arthur returns as a mercenary hunter separated from the British Men of Letters who are unaware of his survival. In "War of the Worlds", he is going by the alias of Alexander Ketch, pretending to be Arthur's twin brother. However, Dean sees through the disguise and Arthur explains that he had made a deal with Rowena for a resurrection spell that he needs recharged which brought him back after Mary killed him. Arthur saves the Winchesters from a group of demons and insists that he is on their side and that his previous actions only came from being a soldier on the opposite side of a war from them. When Dean tries to kill Arthur again, he flees and is later seen being employed by the Prince of Hell Asmodeus who is preparing to procure Jack for the Alternate Michael's invasion. In "Devil's Bargain", Asmodeus supplies Arthur with an angel blade and sends him to kill the weakened Lucifer, believing Lucifer to be vulnerable to an angel blade in his current state. Arthur once again encounters the Winchesters who have Castiel knock him unconscious and lock him in the Impala's trunk, intending to kill him and scatter his ashes to make his death permanent. Arthur once more escapes confinement, just in time to use a demon bomb to drive Lucifer and Anael away, saving the Winchesters and Castiel. Stating that Lucifer being loose upon the Earth is a line too far for him, Arthur reveals his alliance with Asmodeus and offers to work with the Winchesters as a double agent to stop Lucifer, Asmodeus and the threat of an alternate reality Michael. Recognizing that they need him, the Winchesters reluctantly agree to the alliance. Upon Arthur's return to Asmodeus' lair, Asmodeus reveals that he has acquired the Archangel Blade, the one weapon that can kill an archangel such as Lucifer or Michael. After Arthur points out that the blade can only be used to kill an archangel by another archangel, Asmodeus introduces him to the captive archangel Gabriel who has been believed dead for nearly eight years. In "The Thing", Arthur discovers that Asmodeus has been injecting himself with Gabriel's grace to power up. Arthur's continuing impertinence and defiance enrage Asmodeus who brutally beats him. Asmodeus states that Arthur is more wicked than any demon he knows "and I know 'em all", but recognizes that Arthur seeks redemption for his past actions which he doesn't think that Arthur can get. Once Asmodeus leaves him alone, Arthur gets back at him by rescuing Gabriel and steals Asmodeus' store of Gabriel's extracted grace as well as the Archangel Blade. Arthur brings all three to the Winchesters, seeking sanctuary from Asmodeus in return which Dean agrees to. After the Winchesters open a rift to Apocalypse World, Arthur decides to join Dean on the mission, feeling that he is safer in another universe when Asmodeus will inevitably come looking for him. In "Bring 'Em Back Alive", Arthur teams up with a reluctant Dean to find and rescue Mary and Jack. The two witness several angels executing resistance fighters and taking captive Charlie Bradbury, the alternate counterpart of an old friend of Dean's. Against Arthur's wishes, Dean sets out to rescue Charlie, the two men being forced to work together to survive. Along the way, Dean tells Arthur of his inability to save Charlie and Arthur admits his own regrets that he never even tried to save the lives of those he cares about. Together, Dean and Arthur raid a POW camp, killing several angels and liberating Charlie and several other human prisoners. With the rift closing, Arthur chooses to remain behind in Apocalypse World with Charlie to continue the mission to find Mary and Jack and to help coordinate for Dean's inevitable return with reinforcements. As angels attack the rift, Arthur engages in battle with them alongside Charlie. In "Exodus", Arthur has become a full-fledged member of the Apocalypse World resistance and joins Charlie on a mission to ambush an angel death squad. However, it turns out to be a trap and both are captured. Arthur undergoes extensive torture for information on the resistance, but refuses to break, even taunting his captors. The angels call in an alternate reality Castiel to tear the information from Charlie's mind, but Sam, Dean, Mary, Jack and Castiel arrive to rescue them, killing all of the angels, including the alternate Castiel. As Dean helps him, Arthur comments on the irony of Dean saving his life for once. Arthur joins the later exodus through the rift and is one of the first through. In the bunker, he and Rowena express shock at the sight of each other before Arthur moves on. During the later party, Arthur enjoys a drink with Charlie. He is mentioned to be off doing his own thing in "Let the Good Times Roll". In season 14's "Stranger in a Strange Land," Arthur is mentioned to be following up on a lead in London in the search for a way to save Dean from Michael's possession. Sam later gets a call from Arthur and tells Castiel that Arthur has been searching for the hyperbolic pulse generator, the device they used to exorcise Lucifer out of the President in the hopes that it can be used to eject Michael from Dean. However, Arthur has had no luck in his search. In "The Spear," Arthur has found the hyperbolic pulse generator, but is forced to mail it to the Winchesters who are less than pleased as they need it immediately. Somewhat stunned, Arthur apologizes for his inability to deliver it to them directly. Though the Winchesters find the package, the device is destroyed by Michael before they can use it. In "Jack in the Box," Arthur is unable to attend Mary's hunter's memorial. Instead, he sends a bottle of the same expensive scotch he'd brought Dean in "The Raid." In season 15's "Raising Hell," Arthur arrives in Harlan, Kansas after God releases all of the souls in Hell upon the world. After meeting the demonAsh
Ash, portrayed by Chad Lindberg, is a mullet-wearing computer expert, who works and lives at Harvelle's Roadhouse with Jo Harvelle, Jo and Ellen Harvelle. He attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, but was kicked out for "fighting". He owns a homemade laptop, which he uses to track the paranormal, particularlyAva Wilson
Ava Wilson, portrayed by Katharine Isabelle is one of Azazel's "Special Children". After being kidnapped from her home and forced fight to the death with other Special Children in Cold Oaks, she eventually becomes skilled in her power to control demons. She is ultimately killed by Jake Talley.Becky Rosen
Becky Rosen, portrayed by Emily Perkins, is a fan of the "Supernatural" series of books. Her online name is samlicker81, and she is the webmistress of morethanbrothers.net. She writes Wincest fanfiction. Carver Edlund aka Chuck Shurley contacts her to get a message to Sam and Dean in "Sympathy for the Devil". She initially believed it to be a joke but Chuck told her that his stories were real and she was excited as she thought so. It is obvious from her reaction to the boys that she is a Sam Girl, and fixates upon him much to his dismay. Becky Rosen "borrows" Chuck Shurley's phone, pretending to be him, and texts Sam & Dean saying he's in a life or death situation in "The Real Ghostbusters". Sam and Dean rush over after driving all night only to find out that Becky has invited them to a Supernatural Convention for Chuck's books. When real ghosts start attacking people, Chuck has to step up and help keep everyone safe while Sam and Dean and two Supernatural fanboys, Demian and Barnes, fight the ghosts. His bravery impresses Becky who immediately abandons her pursuit of Sam for a relationship with Chuck. She also tells Sam that in the book which covers the events of "Time Is on My Side", Bela gave the Colt not to Lilith but to her right hand demon, and possibly lover, Crowley. In "Season 7, Time for a Wedding!" a Crossroads Demon named Guy gives her a love potion to make Sam marry her, she believed Guy was a Wiccan until the demon betrays her and shows her his eyes. Guy asks for her soul in exchange for making the effect permanent, he wanted to make a deal after seeing she was married to the skilled hunter even agreeing with her about Sam easily killing. Sam warned her not to go through with the deal. According to her, Chuck broke up with her, which is presumably her reason for fixating on Sam again. During the battle at the end, she helps trap the demon, but his minion breaks him free. As the demon and his minion Jackson are about to kill the hunters, Becky retrieves Ruby's Knife and kills Jackson with it, allowing the Winchesters to overpower the Crossroads Demon whose deals are revoked by Crowley who is bemused when she excitedly recognizes him. Later, she and Sam get an annulment. In "Slumber Party," it is revealed by Charlie that Becky posted all of Chuck's unpublished manuscripts to the Internet, with the result that the public is now 'aware' of events in Sam and Dean's lives up to the confrontation between Lucifer/Sam and Michael/Adam. When asked if they know her, Sam quickly denies it. In "Atomic Monsters," Chuck visits Becky for help though she is less than pleased to see him. Though still a fan of ''Supernatural'', Becky is not quite so obsessed anymore and has married and had children. Becky agrees to edit Chuck's newest story and provides critique that essentially acts as meta references for both the episode and the show itself. Becky's words causes Chuck to write a much darker ending, much to Becky's horror. When her family comes home, Chuck causes them to vanish with just a snap of his fingers, though Chuck claims that he has simply sent them "away." Revealing his true identity as God himself to Becky, Chuck causes her to vanish into thin air also with a snap of his fingers.Bela Talbot
Ben Braeden
Ben Braeden is the son of Lisa Braeden, a woman Dean once spent a weekend with in August 1999, portrayed by Nicholas Elia. Lisa and Ben live in Cicero, Indiana. Though Dean suspects he is Ben's biological father, Lisa claims that this is not so. Dean drops in to visit Lisa in "The Kids Are Alright", while investigating a case, on what happens to be Ben's 8th birthday. Dean meets Ben and is struck by his familiar rock-music loving, girl ogling ways, but Lisa assures Dean that he is not Ben's father. Later Dean helps Ben out in an encounter with some bullies. Although his advice, to "kick the kid in the nuts," does not get Lisa's approval, Ben hugs Dean in thanks. Later Ben is one of the children taken by a mother Changeling, and one of her offspring imitates Ben and starts feeding on Lisa. Dean and Sam rescue all the children and kill the head Changeling, destroying the imitation Ben. Dean is impressed by Ben's cool headed behavior during the rescue, having put Ben in charge of helping the other children out a window. When Dean returns to Lisa after the showdown in Stull Cemetery, in "Swan Song", Ben is seen at the dinner table. Dean lives with Lisa and Ben for a year, but after an attack he insists they move and is conflicted by his desire to remain with his new family, his desire to hunt and the fear that he is raising Ben as his father raised him. Eventually, Lisa lets him go in "Two and a Half Men". Dean talks to Ben on the phone in "The Third Man". After believing he is about to die after having been turned into a vampire in "Live Free or Twi-Hard", Dean returns to say goodbye. However, he struggles to control his vampiric urges and shoves Ben and flees. Ben tricks Dean into returning once more in "Mannequin 3: The Reckoning"; however, he fails to reconcile with Lisa and Dean explains to Ben that he fears that if he stayed around, Ben would end up like him.

Frank Devereaux, portrayed by Kevin McNally, is an expert in counterfeit documents and in avoiding government intelligence. He was first introduced in the sixth episode of the seventh season, "Slash Fiction". It is revealed in the eleventh episode, "Adventures In Babysitting", that when he was 26, his wife and two children were killed. Sometime after that, he met Bobby Singer, who once saved his life in Port Huron. Frank lives in a run-down, electronics filled house on a little traveled street. He describes himself as 'bi-polar with delusional ideation'. Bobby sends the Winchesters to see Frank when two Leviathans begin a series of killings throughout the country, masquerading as the brothers. When Sam and Dean enter Frank's house, he is waiting in the dark with a shotgun. He is prepared to shoot them, but because he owes Bobby he agrees to help them. At first, Frank believes that Leviathan Sam and Leviathan Dean are clones created by the government. Frank advises the boys to go into hiding, maybe even move to Cuba, but Dean says they need to go "further off the grid, but keep us on the board" so they can hunt down the Leviathans. He tells them that they need to keep a lower profile, avoid security cameras, and to get rid of their rockstar aliases, which are too easy to track. He smashes Sam's laptop, gives him a new one, and demands $5000 for it. He then takes their pictures for new IDs as Tom and John Smith and gives them a map of the towns their Leviathan doppelgängers have hit so far. In "Adventures in Babysitting", Dean gives Frank the numbers "45489" which Bobby writes on Sam's hand before he dies, and also asks him to research Dick Roman. Having not heard from him over a month, Dean returns to Frank's house to find it deserted. Frank suddenly appears, confronts Dean, and they both have to shed some blood to prove to the other they are not a Leviathan. Frank states that he has moved all his equipment into an R.V., feeling he was being watched after he started investigating Dick Roman. Frank seems paranoid about Leviathans, even thinking that Gwyneth Paltrow is one of them. He tells Dean he has found nothing on Bobby's numbers, but when he tries combinations adding a sixth number, he discovers that they are coordinates to a field in Wisconsin, owned by Dick Roman. Frank and Dean travel to the area and disguise themselves as phone company workers. They discover surveillance covering the area and retreat to Frank's RV to monitor it. They discover Amanda Willer, an employee of Dick Roman, surveying the site for construction. As they began to spy the camp field, Frank challenges Dean about how he is dealing with himself on the whole situation, even telling Dean his dark past. In the next episodes, Dean talks with Frank off-screen. In "Out with the Old", Frank talks with Dean by phone from his camper, updating Dean on the Leviathan activity worldwide. He has no record of their activity in Portland, Oregon, where Sam and Dean are currently working, but Leviathans are there all the same. Frank discovers this when Dean asks him to investigates a company behind an odd Realtor; and the company links back to Dick Roman. Sam and Dean set out to meet Frank at the end of the episode, but instead find his RV, filled with smashed electronics and blood. In "The Girl with the Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo", it is revealed that Dick Roman took Frank's hard drive, which he gives to the IT expert Charlie to hack. When Charlie tries to hack it, the defense system uses Frank's voice. After finally hacking it, an automatic email sent to the brothers which states that if they are receiving it, it means that Frank is dead or worse. Frank has a GPS tracker on the drive and it hacks into Charlie's webcam so they know who's hacking it. While Charlie is successful, she finds out the truth about Dick Roman and the Leviathans from his files and later teams up with the Winchesters to erase the drive. Frank's final fate is still unknown.Jessica Moore
Jessica Lee Moore, portrayed by Adrianne Palicki, is Sam's girlfriend for two years as of the start of the series. Despite this, she is unaware of his family's strange occupation. Sam planned to ask her to marry him, but she is killed by a demon onKaia Nieves
Kaia Nieves, portrayed by Yadira Guevara-Prip, is a dreamwalker, a human with the ability to view alternate realities in their dreams. In Kaia's case, she is stated to be the most powerful dreamwalker her friend and mentor Derek Swan ever saw. Unlike most dreamwalkers, Kaia has no control over this power and only sees a monster-filled world that she dubs The Bad Place. As is later revealed, this is because of a life-long connection to her alternate reality counterpart Dark Kaia who has in turn seen Kaia's world through their connection. In season 13's "The Bad Place," Kaia is sought out for help by the Nephilim Jack on the suggestion of Derek Swan as Jack needs a dreamwalker to open a rift to the Apocalypse World alternate reality and rescue Mary Winchester. Jack breaks Kaia out of a drug treatment facility, but she refuses to help and runs off before being kidnapped by angels who are after Jack. Upon being rescued by the Winchesters, Kaia has to be forced at gunpoint to join them and explains that she won't help because of her fears of The Bad Place. After Jack shows Kaia Apocalypse World, she agrees to help. Cornered on an abandoned ship by angels, Kaia suggests opening the rift to escape. Combining his powers with Kaia's, Jack guides her into finding Apocalypse World instead of The Bad Place, but she begins flashing between the two worlds, ending with a vision of Dark Kaia. Jack and Kaia's efforts open a rift, destroying the attacking angels in the process, but sends the Winchesters to The Bad Place, Jack to Apocalypse World and an unconscious Kaia to a nearby roadside. In "Wayward Sisters," Kaia is found by a passing motorist and transported to Sioux Falls General Hospital for treatment. Claire Novak, aware that the Winchesters were looking for Kaia, locates her in the hospital for help with finding her missing friends, but Kaia flees once again. However, she is attacked by a creature from The Bad Place outside and saved by Claire and Jody. Bonding with Claire over their experiences, Kaia reveals her knowledge of the creature and about the Winchesters' efforts to open a rift. The group realizes that the rift must still be open for the creature to be in their world and with Kaia's help, locates the abandoned ship where more of the creatures reside. With the rift closing, Claire chooses to crossover to The Bad Place to rescue Sam and Dean while the others stay behind to fight off the creatures. Despite her fears, Kaia crosses the rift with Claire and the two rescue Sam and Dean. As they lead the Winchesters to safety, the four are ambushed by Dark Kaia who throws her spear at Claire. Kaia saves Claire's life, but is hit with the spear in the process and apparently dies moments later. With the rift closing and a giant creature closing in on them, the Winchesters and Claire are forced to flee to their world, leaving Kaia's body behind in The Bad Place. Grief-stricken, Claire vows revenge upon Kaia's killer even if she has to find a way back to The Bad Place, unaware that Dark Kaia opened a rift of her own and crossed to their world. In season 14's "The Scar," the Winchesters and Jody Mills hunt Kaia's killer in their world and are shocked to learn that she is Kaia's alternate counterpart. Dark Kaia admits that Kaia's death was an accident as she was aiming for Claire and displays knowledge of Kaia's interactions with the Winchesters, Dean in particular, from having seen through Kaia's eyes due to their connection. After Dark Kaia escapes again, Jody is left worried about how to explain the situation to Claire who was in love with Kaia and still seeks revenge upon her killer. In season 15's "Galaxy Brain," Dark Kaia reveals that The Bad Place is dying and that Kaia is in fact still alive and trapped there. In a flashback, Dark Kaia is depicted treating Kaia's wound which had apparently caused her to pass out rather than die as was originally believed, before Dark Kaia abandoned her to cross to their world. With Dark Kaia having left Kaia the tools that she needed, Kaia survived two years stuck in The Bad Place, but Dark Kaia learned that her world is in trouble from the connection that still existed between the two. With the help of Jack and a Reaper named Merle, the Winchesters open another rift to The Bad Place and locate Kaia who has been living in Dark Kaia's old home. As The Bad Place is destroyed, Dark Kaia chooses to remain and die with her world as the Winchesters and Kaia escape through the rift. Reunited with Jody, Kaia accepts an invitation to return to Sioux Falls with her and is pleased to learn that Claire, out seeking Dark Kaia at the time, will be home soon.Dark Kaia
Dark Kaia, also portrayed by Yadira Guevara-Prip, is the alternate reality counterpart of Kaia from The Bad Place. A dreamwalker like Kaia, Dark Kaia has shared a connection with Kaia for her whole life that has allowed them to see through each other's eyes, though Dark Kaia seems to be more aware of the nature of their connection than Kaia. Due to living in a monster-filled world, Dark Kaia is a tougher more ruthless individual who is implied to have fed others to a giant monster. She also possesses a powerful spear of unknown origin that can hurt and possibly kill an archangel. In season 13's "The Bad Place," Dark Kaia is briefly seen as a dark hooded figure when Kaia and Jack attempt to open a rift to Apocalypse World to rescue Mary Winchester. Kaia's dreamwalking visions flash between the two alternate worlds before settling on an image of Dark Kaia that appears to be staring right at Kaia. The disruption causes Jack to be sent to Apocalypse World, the Winchesters to The Bad Place and Kaia to a roadside in her world. In "Wayward Sisters," the Winchesters are stalked and captured by Dark Kaia who refuses to respond to their questions and attempts to feed them to the giant monster. However, Kaia and Claire Novak arrive through the rift and rescue the Winchesters. As they attempt to leave, Dark Kaia tries to kill Claire with her spear, but Kaia shoves Claire out of the way and takes the hit herself, apparently dying in the process. As the Winchesters and Claire turn on Dark Kaia, the giant creature appears which, combined with the closing rift, forces them to flee back to their world. Claire subsequently vows revenge upon Dark Kaia even if she has to find a way back to The Bad Place to get it. Unknown to Claire, another rift opens that night from which Dark Kaia emerges. In season 14's "The Scar," the Winchesters and Jody hunt down Dark Kaia where she been living in the woods near Sioux Falls after Dean remembers that it was Dark Kaia who injured the alternate reality Michael while he was still possessing Dean. Having killed some of Michael's enhanced vampires that were hunting her, Dark Kaia is captured by the group who are shocked by her resemblance to their fallen friend. Dark Kaia refuses to cooperate, but their confrontation causes Dean to remember Michael attempting to forge an alliance with Dark Kaia that she rejected and fought back as a result of. With more enhanced vampires attacking, Dean frees Dark Kaia who flees. However, she returns with her spear and saves the Winchesters and Jody. Dark Kaia claims that she did it to help herself, not them and decides to hang onto the spear despite the fact that Michael's monsters will continue hunting her for it. The Winchesters subsequently hunt for Dark Kaia and her spear which is the only known weapon that can harm Michael. In "The Spear," Garth, having infiltrated Michael's organization, overhears Dark Kaia's location and passes it onto the Winchesters. Dean and Castiel track her down and Dean convinces her to lend him the spear. In return, Dark Kaia requests that Jack help her return home where she has somebody that she wants to protect, the magic that allowed her to open the rift on that side not working in their world. Dean accepts, promising to find Dark Kaia when they are done. However, Michael destroys the spear after repossessing Dean. In season 15's "Galaxy Brain," Dark Kaia kills a cow to draw Jody out and kidnaps her to force Sam and Dean back to Sioux Falls. Dark Kaia demands the return of her spear and that they keep their promise to send her home, but they inform her that the spear has been destroyed and overpower Dark Kaia. Dark Kaia insists on returning home and reveals that The Bad Place is dying and she regrets ever leaving it. Furthermore, their Kaia is still alive, Dark Kaia having treated her wound and left her the tools to survive before leaving her homeworld. Through the connection that still exists between them, Dark Kaia has learned of her world's peril and is frustrated when the Winchesters refuse to use Jack's powers to open the rift as it risks drawing God's attention. Dark Kaia explains that she had envied her counterpart's world and how peaceful it seemed, but found herself unable to fit in or enjoy it and instead lived in hiding. After seeing Kaia's situation through Dark Kaia's mind, Jack agrees to help and gets a Reaper named Merle to help him hide his use of powers so that he can open the rift. Dark Kaia leads the Winchesters back to her old home in The Bad Place where they are reunited with Kaia who has been living there. With The Bad Place on the verge of destruction, Dark Kaia refuses to leave with them and decides to die along with her homeworld, tearfully ordering them to go. Turning to face an approaching massive cloud of destruction, Dark Kaia closes her eyes and extends her arms as she is engulfed by the destruction.Kelly Kline

Crowley, realizing that a powerful nephilim has been conceived, teleports her to a motel room, where he, the Winchesters, Castiel, and Rowena explain the situation to her and try to convince her to abort the nephilim. Kelly agrees to help them lure Rooney in so they can use the Hyperbolic Pulse Generator to expel Lucifer from him. They succeed, but Kelly runs away from the motel room. In "Family Feud", an angel sent by Heaven to get rid of the child of Lucifer finds Kelly on the run and attempts to kill her, but she is saved by Dagon, a Prince of Hell who was personally created by Lucifer.

Dagon agrees to take her, but when the doctor notices something on the sonogram, she controls him to tell her that everything is fine. Later, Sam, impersonating the doctor, tells Kelly to come back to the office. She is kidnapped by Dean, who takes her to a junkyard where Sam, Eileen Leahy, Mick Davies, and Renny Rawlings are waiting. Sam tries to explain that they just want to help her, but Dagon comes and takes her away again. In the melee, Eileen accidentally shoots Renny. Back at their hideout, Dagon handcuffs Kelly to the bed, no longer trusting her, and reveals that giving birth to a nephilim is always fatal to the mother. In "The Future", Kelly, worried about her child being evil, attempts to kill herself, but the nephilim brings her back to life. Castiel, Kelvin, and Hozai come to the hideout to kill Kelly, but when Castiel reaches the basement he is unable to kill her. Castiel kidnaps her and takes her to a motel while he decides what to do. He decides to take her to the sandbox portal to Heaven, where Kelly and her child will die instantly but their souls will ascend to Heaven. Kelly, having seen visions from her child, now believes in its goodness. The Winchesters track them down and explain that they can extract the grace from the fetus so it will be born as a normal human being. Kelly refuses, as she believes her child has an important destiny, and drives off in the Impala with Castiel, having been told by her child that taking this path would lead to its birth. They are greeted at the sandbox by Joshua, who is then killed by Dagon. Sam and Dean arrive, and in the melee, Kelly takes Castiel's hand, lending him some of the nephilim's powers, which he uses to destroy Dagon. Castiel then takes Kelly to a safe place to give birth, having been shown by the nephilim a vision of a future paradise. In "All Along the Watchtower", Kelly prepares for the birth of her child in a remote location with Castiel and laments that she will not be around to raise it. Kelly makes a video for her child to watch. As Kelly goes into labor, a rift into another universe opens up, and Mary Winchester comforts her through her contractions as they bond over their protectiveness of their respective sons. Kelly dies giving birth to a son, Jack. In "Lost and Found", Jack states that Kelly is in Heaven. He recalls his connection with his mother in the womb, where he learned that Castiel was supposed to be his protector. Kelly is given a traditional Hunter's funeral. In "Patience", Jack watches the video Kelly made. In "The Big Empty", Jack shows grief counselor shapeshifter Mia the video and asks her to take his mother's form. Mia, in Kelly's form, comforts Jack and assures him he is not destined to be evil. In "Tombstone", Castiel tells Jack that Kelly would be proud of him. In "Gods and Monsters", Jack visits his grandparents, Kelly's parents, claiming to be Kelly's friend, unable to tell them that she is dead or that he is their grandson. They show him photo albums with pictures of Kelly and remark on his resemblance to her. During "Byzantium", Jack dies and ascends to Heaven but leaves his personal Heaven to find his mother's. Jack finds Kelly enjoying a childhood memory before approaching her and revealing his identity. Turning her back to her adult form, Kelly is greatly shocked and happy to meet him with the pair hugging. It takes Kelly a while to recall she is dead before she inquires on Jack's reasons for being present, Kelly soon realizes that he's dead too and breaks down but he comforts her that Castiel did protect him but something happened. Kelly asks what's bothering, as he explains #The Shadow, a strange entity is chasing him. She hides her son and promises to stay by his side before Castiel arrives, having deduced Jack would be there. Castiel catches up with Kelly and soon tells them that Jack will be resurrected though part of his soul will be burned. Kelly is unsure about the idea, forcing Castiel to elaborate on the being chasing Jack, The Shadow, who wants to send him to The Empty, the resting place of angels. Kelly protects her son from the Shadow when it attacks, and witnesses Castiel make a deal with the entity to save Jack. Kelly then says goodbye to Jack, telling him to have a great life, before Castiel takes him back to Earth, resurrected. In "Moriah," Jack learns that Kelly's parents have learned that she is missing and possibly dead. In season 15's "Destiny's Child," one of the memories Jack experiences as his soul is restored is of talking with Kelly in Heaven. In "Inherit the Earth," after becoming the new God, Jack tells Sam and Dean that it is because of what he learned from them, Kelly, and Castiel that he is ready for his new responsibilities.Jimmy Novak
James "Jimmy" Novak, portrayed by Misha Collins, is the vessel of Castiel and a former ad salesman for AM radio with a wife and daughter. He is described by Castiel as a "devout man" who agreed to become Castiel's vessel after hearing his voice and undergoing a series of tests of faith. In Supernatural (season 4)#ep80, "The Rapture", after Castiel is forcibly taken back to Heaven for "re-conditioning", Jimmy is left alone and found by Sam and Dean. He describes being possessed by Castiel as "being chained to a comet". He wishes to return to his family, but Sam and Dean insist that he would put them in danger from the demons hunting him down for his association with angels. Jimmy sneaks back home to reunite with his family, but he and his family are attacked by demons, and his wife and daughter are kidnapped by them. Castiel returns and possesses Claire to vanquish the demons. Jimmy is fatally injured in the fight, and Castiel tells him he will now be at peace in Heaven. Jimmy begs Castiel to use him as a vessel instead of Claire to spare her the life of being an angel's vessel. Castiel accepts and possesses Jimmy again. Castiel reveals to Jimmy's daughter Claire, that Jimmy has been dead and his soul in Heaven since his vessel was destroyed in his first confrontation with Raphael in Supernatural (season 4)#ep82, "Lucifer Rising". Jimmy was reunited in Heaven with his wife, Amelia, after her death in "Angel Heart". In "All Along the Watchtower," Castiel uses Jimmy's name to rent a cabin for himself and Kelly Kline. After tracking the omens to the area, the Winchesters realize they have found the right spot when they learn Castiel used the name James Novak since that is his vessel. After Castiel's death in the same episode, the Winchesters give him a Hunter's Funeral by burning Jimmy's body in "Lost & Found." When Castiel is resurrected, Jimmy's body is restored to act as his vessel once again. As seen in season 13's "Exodus," the Apocalypse World Castiel also chose his world's Jimmy as his vessel unlike most of the angels of that world who have different vessels. The Apocalypse World Castiel's version of Jimmy has a darker more scruffier appearance, coinciding with the alternate Castiel's evil nature. He also appears to be blind in one eye. This Jimmy and Castiel are killed by the Winchesters Castiel. In season 14's "Gods and Monsters," Castiel talks about Jimmy with Lucifer (Supernatural), Lucifer's former vessel Nick. Castiel admits that while Jimmy was willing to be his vessel, he is dead, causing Nick to call Castiel a stone-cold body snatcher that is no better than Lucifer. Castiel tells Nick that in his millennia of existence, what befell Jimmy and his family is Castiel's greatest regret.Josie Sands
Josie Sands, portrayed by Alaina Huffman, is a Men of Letters initiate and the primary vessel of the Knight of Hell Abaddon. Josie first appears in Supernatural (season 8), season 8's "As Time Goes By" on the night of her final initiation into the Men of Letters. As later revealed, Josie was already possessed by the Knight of Hell Abaddon at this point and Abaddon was using Josie to get close to the Men of Letters Elders. During Josie's initiation, Abaddon attacks and kills all of the Elders aside from Larry Ganem who attempt to exorcise the demon from Josie with no luck. After being followed to 2013, Henry attempts to get Josie to retake control, but Abaddon claims that Josie is gone. Unable to kill Abaddon, Henry later shoots a bullet carved with a devil's trap into Josie's head, trapping Abaddon in Josie's body and rendering her powerless. Dean then cuts off her head and states an intention to cut the body up into tiny pieces and bury her in cement to forever entomb Abaddon. In "Clip Show," the Winchesters watch a video recorded by Josie and left in the Men of Letters archive of a failed attempt at curing a demon by Father Max Thompson in 1957. Later, they put Josie's body back together as part of their plan to use the demon cure on Abaddon. As a result, Josie's head is left sewed onto her neck, but her hands remain detached as a precaution. Abaddon reveals that she learned of Josie from Father Thompson before murdering him and possessed Josie to infiltrate the Men of Letters. After freeing herself, Abaddon flees in Josie's body. She reappears, still in Josie, in "Sacrifice" where though Josie's hands have been reattached, her head is still visibly sewn onto her neck. To defeat Abaddon, Sam sets her alight in Holy Fire, forcing Abaddon to flee Josie's body. If Josie had still been alive at this point, she died. In season 9's "Devil May Care," Josie's charred body is retrieved by a demon working for Abaddon. The demon performs a ritual that restores Josie's body to perfect condition and it is repossessed by Abaddon. It is unknown if the ritual also resurrected Josie as demons do not require a living vessel. While watching video footage of Abaddon helping a few demons get better vessels, the Winchesters are surprised to recognize Josie as Abaddon's vessel as they had thought her body damaged beyond Abaddon's use. For the rest of season 9, Josie remains the Knight of Hell's vessel. Josie appears in flashbacks in "Mother's Little Helper," where, shortly before their initiation, Josie and Henry are sent to investigate an apparent case of demonic possession in a convent. Josie, disguised as a nun, is revealed to be in love with Henry despite his being married with a son and is disgruntled by the nuns' treatment of her. After exorcising several demons, the two are confronted by Abaddon in the body of the Mother Superior. After Abaddon knocks out Henry and threatens to possess him, Josie volunteers to act as Abaddon's vessel to spare Henry. Abaddon is amused to realize that it is because Josie loves Henry and taunts her, but ultimately accepts her offer. After possessing Josie, Abaddon tells another demon she intends to use Josie to study the Men of Letters before she destroys them and then poses as Josie, successfully fooling Henry. She also subtly threatens Sister Julia Wilkerson, the only witness, into staying silent. In 2014, while investigating similar murders in town, Sam meets Julia who tells him about what she witnessed in 1958. Recognizing who Henry and Josie must have been, Sam is shocked to learn about the incident and discovers the truth about what Henry and Josie investigated which had been believed at the time to simply be a case of multiple demonic possessions. In "King of the Damned," Dean kills Abaddon with The First Blade while she is possessing Josie's body. The First Blade's effects appear to burn out Josie's eyes similar to an angel smiting and Dean, under the influence of the Mark of Cain, further mutilates her corpse before being stopped by Sam. If Josie had in fact been resurrected with the restoration of her body for Abaddon's use, she dies for a second time along with the Knight of Hell.Kevin Tran
Kevin, portrayed by Osric Chau, is a Prophet of the Lord who is chosen to interpret the Word of God after Sam and Dean break it out of the slab of stone it is trapped in. He is in advanced placement and is preparing for college when he is struck by lightning and chosen.

Castiel reveals that Kevin is a Prophet and can thus read the tablet which talks about the Leviathans. After two angels arrive to take him away and are driven away by Dean, they take him to Rufus' Cabin where they set him to work on translating the tablet. The angels return, but after Meg kills one to save Castiel, the others allow Kevin to finish the translation before taking him home. Kevin reunites with his mother, but they discover to their horror that the detective investigating his disappearance is the Leviathan Edgar in disguise. Edgar kills the two angels accompanying Kevin and takes him and his mother prisoner. Dick Roman later uses Kevin's mother to force Kevin to translate the tablet for him. After the Leviathans bring in a girl named Polly, Kevin manages to escape the room he's trapped in and learns of Dick's plan to poison coffee creamers to kill all the skinny people in the world, but is captured by Dick's assistant Susan before he can escape the building. During Sam, Dean and Castiel's break-in of Sucrocorp, Sam finds and rescues Kevin who reveals Dick's new plan to him and insists they need to blow up Dick's laboratory. In the lab, they find Dean and Castiel killing Dick and Kevin is shocked when Dean and Castiel disappear when Dick explodes. Kevin nervously tells Sam they have to leave because more Leviathans will be coming, but Crowley shows up and reveals he has it taken care of and kidnaps Kevin as a prize. It is later revealed that he wants Kevin to translate another Word of God tablet so he can learn how to open all the gates of Hell and release every demon in existence upon the world. Kevin tricks Crowley and escapes, going on the run for a year before Sam and Dean catch up to him. Kevin reveals that he has learned that it is possible to seal the gates of Hell forever and banish all demons from the Earth from the tablet and Sam and Dean decide to do so with his help. However, Crowley catches up with them and although they escape thanks to Kevin's quick thinking, Crowley murders his girlfriend in revenge. Kevin later convinces Sam and Dean to take him to see his mom who is surrounded by demons. After they rescue her, Mrs. Tran joins them in closing the gates of Hell, but they find the tablet stolen and being sold at an auction. Kevin's mom wins the auction by bidding her soul, but Crowley possesses her and gets away with the tablet. In the struggle, Dean tries to kill Crowley even though he is possessing Kevin's mother and in doing so, loses Kevin's trust. This along with the fact that Crowley warned him that the Winchesters have a habit of using people up and disposing of them when they no longer need them, causes Kevin to flee with his mother. He spends the next several episodes on the run from both Crowley and the Winchesters, but after his mother hires a witch to get the ingredients needed for the spell he used to kill the demons and escape, Crowley captures and tortures him to force him to translate the tablet. Sam, Dean and Castiel, who are alerted to his situation when Mrs. Tran calls them for help, arrive and rescue Kevin and get half of the tablet, but Crowley gets the other half and Kevin loses a finger, though Castiel is able to regrow it. They then call in Garth to look after the Trans and he takes them to his houseboat where Kevin works on translating the half of the tablet he has to no avail. Dean and Castiel later go to Kevin for help in preparing more demon bombs to rescue the angel Samandriel. Kevin is now so focused on translating the tablet that he has somewhat let himself go and has a disheveled appearance. He has also sent his own mother away so he can work in solitude, explaining to Dean that he can't enjoy the world he is trying to save until it is saved. Though he does not believe it is possible to get the ingredients needed for the bomb as they are rare, he gives them the list and Castiel is able to get them. It is shown in "Trial and Error" that Kevin lets himself go completely while he focuses on translating the tablet, believing that closing the gates of Hell will be the only way he can go back to a normal life. Eventually, after weeks of non-stop work, he cracks the instructions and calls Sam and Dean to let them know. Kevin learns that to close the gates, someone must complete three trials and recite an Enochian spell after each one. Kevin has only cracked the first trial which is to kill a hellhound and bathe in its blood. Despite Sam's advice to slow down, Kevin begins taking stimulants to keep awake and eventually calls Sam and Dean to inform them that he has learned that hellhounds are usually invisible but can be seen through an object scorched with Holy Fire, giving them a way to see the hellhound so they can kill it. In "Taxi Driver," Kevin is under so much stress that he is hallucinating Crowley in his head and that Crowley is mentally torturing him. Panicked, he calls Sam and Dean and hides, but has also deciphered the second trial: Sam must rescue an innocent soul from Hell and release it into Heaven. After Sam leaves to rescueApocalypse World Kevin Tran
In season 13's "War of the Worlds," an alternate universe Kevin appears as a Prophet loyal to Michael in Apocalypse World. He meets Lucifer and the latter informs him of his counterpart's status, which shocks him. Having a more black-and-white view of the world, Kevin sees Lucifer as evil due to his status as the Devil and apparently can't tell that Michael is just using him and doesn't care either way as Michael promises him a better life once he gets to the Winchesters world. Kevin finds a spell on the Angel Tablet that will open a rift to the Winchesters' universe, but it requires the grace of an archangel so Michael drains some of Lucifer's. Kevin's spell succeeds in opening a rift, but Lucifer uses the opportunity to escape through the rift which closes behind him. Kevin is excited by his success despite the fact that the spell only opens the rift long enough for one person to go through. Kevin is ordered by Michael to fix the problem. This version of Kevin and his actions are subsequently mentioned by Lucifer to Castiel after they reunite following Lucifer's escape from Apocalypse World. Lucifer warns Castiel of the danger of Kevin working to open another rift for Michael who intends to invade their world. Castiel later shares the story with the Winchesters in "Devil's Bargain." After hearing how Kevin used the Angel Tablet to find a way to open the rift, the Winchesters bring in Prophet Donatello Redfield to search the Demon Tablet for a similar spell. Though Donatello succeeds in "Good Intentions," his lack of a soul in comparison to Kevin causes the tablet's power to corrupt him. In "Unfinished Business," Kevin is found by Jack, Mary Winchester and a few resistance fighters in Michael's abandoned fortress. Kevin claims to have perfected the spell from the Angel Tablet for Michael who intends to use it to open a rift and lead and invasion of the Winchesters' universe. As Jack prepares to go after Michael, Kevin reveals that he has been left behind as a trap to break Jack by showing him that he can't protect everyone. Having been promised by Michael that he will be reunited with his mother in Heaven, a desperate Kevin refuses to be talked down and activates a sigil burned into his chest that effectively turns Kevin into a suicide bomb. The blast kills Kevin and three resistance fighters, though Jack survives unharmed and shields Mary from the blast's effects. As Michael hoped, the suicide bombing devastates Jack from his inability to protect the people he cares about. Its later shown that Kevin also lied about perfecting the spell for Michael and that the lie was a part of the trap as Michael had no way to open a rift until Lucifer provided him with the spell from the Demon Tablet in "Exodus."Linda Tran
Linda Tran (played by Khaira Ledeyo in season 7, played by Lauren Tom in season 8 and onward) is Kevin's mother and is first heard when she calls him about a test he has to take in "Reading is Fundamental." When Kevin disappears, Linda grows frantic and calls the police and is relieved when two angels return him to her. However, the detective she called in to help turns out to be the Leviathan Edgar and he kills the angels and captures her and her son. In "There Will Be Blood," Linda is used as a hostage to force Kevin into translating the Leviathan Tablet for Dick Roman, but she is let go with a warning not to talk afterwards. A year later in "What's Up, Tiger Mommy?" she still hasn't heard from Kevin and is unknown to her, surrounded by demons, keeping an eye on her and protecting her. At Kevin's insistence, the Winchesters rescue her and she joins them in their quest to close the gates of Hell forever. Linda proves to be strong-willed, withstanding getting an anti-possession tattoo easily while comforting Kevin (and also indicating to her son's surprise that it is not her first tattoo) and later using her knowledge of tax law to intimidate a pawn shop owner into telling them what they need to know when nothing else works. At the auction, when all else fails, she bids her own soul to save Kevin, though she is warned that she will survive though she will wish she didn't. She refuses the offer of angelic protection for Kevin from Samandriel and is captured by Beau and Crowley who burn off her tattoo and Crowley possesses her to get the tablet. In the struggle that follows, Dean tries to kill her to kill Crowley and he flees her body, getting the tablet. Linda survives, but is left catatonic by the experience, though Sam and Dean believe she will recover due to her strong-willed nature. However, the incident shatters Kevin's faith in the Winchesters and he goes on the run with her. By the time of "A Little Slice of Kevin," Linda has recovered from her catatonia and looks for a way to strike back against Crowley by hiring a witch off of Craigslist to get the ingredients needed for the demon bomb. The witch brings enough ingredients for one bomb instead of all that Linda specified and betrays them to Crowley. Crowley leaves a demon behind to kill Linda as he leaves with Kevin, but Linda overpowers and captures the demon instead and calls Sam and Dean for help to rescue Kevin. She brings them the ingredients, Kevin's notes on how to build the bomb and the demon allowing them to locate Kevin and launch a rescue mission. While Linda wants to help, Sam handcuffs her to her steering wheel to keep her out of the way and out of danger. Kevin is rescued and Sam chides her for calling upon a witch for help. He and Dean call upon Garth to look after Linda and Kevin and he takes them to a houseboat he uses as a safe house. Kevin, wanting to work in solitude to translate the half of the tablet that Castiel retrieved, later sends Linda elsewhere, explaining to Dean that he can't enjoy the world he is trying to save until it is saved. In "Trial and Error", Kevin reveals that while he sent Linda away, he still does talk to her on the phone, but all she does is cry. In "Taxi Driver", Crowley finds Kevin, claiming that he captured Linda and tortured her for Kevin's location. Crowley states that Linda did not break, so he killed her and got the location off of her smartphone. In "Devil May Care," Crowley claims that he did not actually kill Linda and that she wishes that she was dead and promises to take Kevin to her if he releases him. Unsure whether to believe Crowley or not, Kevin doesn't free him, but decides to look for himself before being stopped by Dean who tells him that even if Linda is still alive, she is as good as dead. In "Captives," the ghost of Kevin returns to ask Sam and Dean to rescue Linda who he has learned is still alive from another ghost named Candy. With Candy's help, Sam and Dean track down Linda in a storage unit in Wichita, Kansas where she and Sam end up trapped together due to the demon Del who has been holding Linda captive and torturing her. Using her knowledge of electronics from helping Kevin with his school projects, Linda is able to get them out of the room they are trapped in and is devastated to learn of Kevin's death. After Del is captured, Sam and Dean let Linda kill him. At Linda's demand, they then take her to the bunker where Linda is reunited with the ghost of her son. Linda finds her husband's old ring, the object Kevin is attached to and decides to take him home with her despite the risks so she can look after him until he can enter Heaven. Kevin was later allowed to ascend to Heaven by God. In season 13's "Unfinished Business," the Apocalypse World version of Kevin reveals that his version of Linda died in front of him during the Apocalypse. Kevin has been promised that he will be reunited with Linda in Heaven if he suicide bombs the human resistance which he feels is his only chance to see his mother again. As a result, Kevin refuses to be talked down, though Jack and Mary Winchester survive the bombing.Lisa Braeden
Lisa Braeden, portrayed by Cindy Sampson, is a woman Dean spent a weekend with around 1999. In the third-season episode "The Kids Are Alright", Dean decides to visit Lisa and he discovers she has an eight-year-old son named Ben who shares his cocky attitude and love of classic rock. After Ben is kidnapped by a changeling who committed the murders, Lisa was furious and took off with Ben. She is next seen in "Mannequin 3: The Reckoning", after Maggie tells Ben to lure Dean into returning. Telling Crowley to kidnapping Lisa and Ben to give Maggie to kill them, Lisa is possessed by a demon and fatally shot in the heart, killing herMagnus
Magnus (born Cuthbert Sinclair), portrayed by Kavan Smith, is a former Man of Letters who has caused Sam and Dean trouble directly and indirectly on two occasions. Magnus was a powerful magician who was so good at spells, he was made the Men of Letters Master of Spells right after he was initiated into the order. He acted as Henry Winchester, Sam and Dean's grandfather's mentor and designed most of the warding for the Men of Letters bunker. However, he felt that the Men of Letters should be more proactive, using their knowledge to fight evil instead of hiding it away and protecting it. Magnus' ideas got so radical that after he created the Werther Box, a vault designed to protect an important decryption codex but with a deadly alarm system, he was kicked out of the Men of Letters on May 16, 1956. As a result, he survived the massacre of the order by Abaddon in 1958. Crowley became aware of his separation from the Men of Letters and attempted to locate him to get into the Men of Letters bunker, but failed to find him. At some point Magnus changed his name from Cuthbert Sinclair to Magnus, the name the Men of Letters use while going incognito, long enough that he hadn't gone by it in a long time by 2014 and built himself a warded impenetrable hideout where he collected important supernatural artifacts and a zoo of various creatures including vampires and shapeshifters. Due to his proficiency with spells, Magnus made himself immortal, looking forever to be in his 30s despite being much older. Several weeks before the events of "Blade Runners", Magnus tracked down the mythical First Blade and acquired it for his collection. Searching for the First Blade to kill Abaddon, Sam and Dean tracked down Magnus with the help of the Men of Letters files and Crowley and got him to talk to them by mentioning their grandfather and the Men of Letters. However, upon learning that Dean had theMick Davies
Michael "Mick" Davies is an operative from the British Men of Letters, portrayed by Adam Fergus. When he was a young boy, Mick was orphaned and spent some time living on the streets. In an attempt to get some money, he picked the pocket of a member of the British Men of Letters and accidentally stole a cursed coin. The British Men of Letters saw potential within Mick and sent him to the Kendricks School. At the Kendricks Academy, Mick was best friends with a boy named Timothy. He was also classmates with Arthur Ketch who called them "survivors" when describing their experience years later. One day in 1987, Mick and Timothy were pulled into the office of Doctor Hess, the Headmistress and one of the British Men of Letters Elders. To ensure they would follow the code absolutely, Doctor Hess left them a knife and told them only one of them could leave the room alive. While Timothy wanted to run, Mick reluctantly killed his best friend, per the code. This event would haunt him for the rest of his life. In "Season 12, Mamma Mia", Mick comes to America to return Toni Bevell to London, where she'll face consequences after establishing that she's gone way off her original mission, which was to identify American hunters and gain their trust. He first discovers Ms. Watt's corpse and calls Toni to inform her of his intentions, calling her a "bad girl". After Toni has a face-off with Mary Winchester, Mick arrives with Castiel at her location. He insists that he and the British Men of Letters wish to work with the Winchesters and he even gives them his number, but they don't trust him. In the car, he tells Toni that she must fly back to London, and that Mr. Ketch, whom he's already called, will take it from here. In "LOTUS", Sam calls Mick for help with Lucifer but hangs up when he gets Mick's voicemail. Realizing that the Winchesters are likely in trouble, Mick sends Arthur Ketch to help them, resulting in Arthur rescuing them from the Secret Service and supplying them with a device capable of exorcising Lucifer. In "First Blood", Mick is shown using a typewriter to discuss some of the events that were occurring in the episode. He is writing to his superiors, and he mainly talks about the Winchesters and American hunters in general. He is first shown trying to convince a hunter named Wally to work for the British Men of Letters. Wally's rejection leads Mick to remark that American hunters are "difficult". He then talks about Sam and Dean, who managed to escape Site 94, but they left survivors behind. He then remarks that it is Arthur Ketch's purpose to clean up "loose ends". He describes how Arthur took over Site 94 before the Government decided to shut it down completely. Lastly, Mick is shown talking to Mary Winchester, offering her the same things he offered Wally, but Mary shows interest instead. In "The Raid", Mick leads an operation with several American hunters to wipe out all of the vampires in America. Within a month, Mick's operation wipes out two hundred and thirty of the two hundred and forty one vampires in the Midwest. After Mary gets Sam to check out his operation, Mick shows him around and includes him in a briefing of their planned attack on the final vampire nest in the Midwest. Shortly afterwards, the compound comes under attack by vampires and Mick is shocked to learn that the Alpha Vampire is behind it as the British Men of Letters intel places him in Morocco for at least a decade. Mick is further shocked when Sam admits to having seen the Alpha Vampire in Hoople, North Dakota five years before. When Mary calls for everyone to show any weapons they possess, Mick has nothing useful and admits to having never taken a life before. While discussing options for taking down the Alpha Vampire, Mary has Mick show Sam the Colt, the one weapon the British Men of Letters possess capable of harming the Alpha. Sam is able to provide Mick with a ritual created by Bobby Singer to make more bullets for the Colt and Mick performs it moments before the Alpha Vampire breaks in and kills two hunters. After killing the two hunters, the Alpha Vampire announces his intention to force Mick to contact his superiors and tell them the mission failed before draining Mick on camera. Before he can follow through on his threat, Sam and Mary return and Sam arms himself with the empty Colt. As Sam negotiates with the Alpha Vampire, Mick discreetly shows him the bullet for the Colt he has palmed and then attacks Sam in apparent anger after Sam offers Mick up to the Alpha Vampire in exchange for the safety of himself and his family. In reality, Mick slips Sam the Colt bullet which he loads thanks to a distraction from Mary. As Mick and Mary watch, Sam kills the Alpha Vampire with the Colt. Following the battle, Mick berates Arthur Ketch who had been trying to recruit Dean in his own way and was thus away during the battle. Sam tells Mick that he is now in as despite everything that went wrong, they kill the Alpha Vampire and Mick's operation is making the world a better place. In "Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell", Mick sends Sam text messages with cases for the Winchesters to take. As Mick calls him at the end of the episode, Sam admits the truth to Dean who decides to give Mick a chance. In "Ladies Drink Free", Mick brings the Winchesters a werewolf case and asks to accompany them to get actual experience in the field. Though reluctant, Dean agrees to take Mick along. While the Winchesters talk to victim Hayden Foster's mother, Mick disguises himself as a doctor and examines her wounds, discovering that she has been bitten. Mick lies to the Winchesters about it and returns that night to kill Hayden with a silver nitrate injection as per British Men of Letters protocol, something he is visibly reluctant to do. After Hayden awakens and attacks him, clawing open Mick's shoulder, Mick uses the silver nitrate injection to kill her. The next day, Mick joins the Winchesters in investigating Hayden's "mysterious" death, seeming conflicted by his actions. He later accompanies Dean to a bar to interrogate Hayden's boyfriend with his behavior drawing Dean's suspicions. Dean realizes that Mick murdered Hayden and is enraged by his actions since Hayden was an innocent sixteen-year-old girl and as a pureblood werewolf, could have controlled herself. After Claire Novak is bitten, Mick advocates killing her while Sam wants to try a cure the British Men of Letters invented involving injecting the newly turned werewolf with the blood of their sire. As the Winchesters go to track down Claire's sire, they leave Mick with Claire, warning him that if he kills her, they will kill Mick. As Claire starts to turn, she begs Mick to kill her, believing that she cannot control herself. However, while Mick admits that all of his instincts are telling him to do it, he's starting to understand that his instincts are wrong and instead plans to tie up and sedate Claire. They are then attacked by Claire's sire, Justin, who kidnaps Claire and knocks Mick unconscious. The Winchesters return to find Claire gone and Mick waking up. Mick tells them that they can track Claire as he slipped a tracking device into her coat. Finding Justin's home through Mick's tracking device, Mick and Sam attack Justin with Mick jabbing Justin in the back with a syringe to get his blood. However, they are both quickly thrown off and Justin attacks Dean. Before Justin can kill Dean, Mick kills Justin with a silver bullet to the heart from behind. Mick then removes the vial of blood from Justin's back and uses it to cure Claire. The next morning, the Winchesters thank Mick for giving them a win and give him a second chance as a result. Mick is amazed by Claire's survival and curing and calls her a miracle to which Dean agrees with him. In "The British Invasion", Mick is haunted by memories of murdering his best friend Timothy as a child and visits the Men of Letters bunker where he spends all night drinking with the Winchesters after learning about Lucifer's child. The next morning, Mick receives word from Doctor Hess that they don't have time to convince the American hunters to join them and orders Mick to "assimilate or eliminate" them and sends her lackey Renny Rawlings to keep an eye on him. Mick and Renny join the Winchesters attempt to capture Kelly Kline. While initially successful, Dagon shows up, shrugs off all of their attacks and escapes. Eileen Leahy tries to kill Dagon with the Colt, but she teleports away, causing the bullet to kill Renny. Mick initially tries to kill Eileen per the British Men of Letters code, but Sam convinces Mick to follow his own code instead and he orders them to go. Later, Mick returns to his headquarters to find Arthur Ketch and Doctor Hess. Having learned his lesson from working with the Winchesters, Mick defends the Winchesters way of doing things as opposed to the British Men of Letters code. Mick tells Doctor Hess that their code would have a young boy murder his best friend but he's no longer a boy, he's a man now. In response, Doctor Hess signals Arthur who shoots Mick in the back of the head at point-blank range with a silenced pistol, killing him. Standing over Mick's body, Doctor Hess announces that the experiment with the American hunters is a failure and they are going to kill the Winchesters now. In "The Memory Remains", Arthur sends the Winchesters an email posing as Mick to send them on a case to get them out of the bunker. He poses as Mick again later in a text message to check that they are in fact gone. When the Winchesters call Mick to check in, Arthur answers and claims that Mick was recalled to London and "has a lot to answer for" after what happened with Dagon so they will now report to him. In "Twigs & Twine & Tasha Banes", Mary starts to get suspicious about Mick's disappearance as he hasn't responded to her phone calls or emails for weeks. Afterwards, Mary gets an email from "Mick" claiming that he is to remain in London for a few more weeks. Hearing Arthur talking about a package in the armory, Mary checks it out and discovers a box containing Mick's body, upsetting Mary. After finding Mick's body and finding information on hunters being chased by the British Men of Letters, Mary confronts Arthur who claims he was killed by a werewolf. However, Mary quickly realizes that Arthur is lying and in fact killed Mick himself since he was shot in the head which a werewolf is unlikely to do. In "There's Something About Mary," after learning of the British Men of Letters attack on American hunters, the Winchesters capture Lady Toni Bevell for answers. When they question what Mick thinks about it, Toni reveals that Mick is dead, much to their obvious shock and grief as the Winchesters had genuinely liked Mick.Missouri Moseley
Missouri Moseley, portrayed by Loretta Devine, is a very talented psychic residing in Lawrence, Kansas. She was a long-time friend of John Winchester. Missouri first met John on December 17, 1983, when he came to her for a reading. She said it was 'a few days after' Mary was murdered. Missouri said she was the one who opened his eyes to 'what was in the dark.' John took Missouri to his house, hoping she could tell him what killed Mary. Unfortunately, Missouri could not tell what it was, just that it was "real evil". Twelve years later, Missouri returns in season 13's "Patience." Missouri, who is revealed to also be a former hunter, contacts the Winchesters for help when a monster targeting psychics kills her protégé. Missouri helps Dean and Jody Mills determine that they are dealing with a Wraith and she receives a premonition of her own death. Missouri sends Dean and Jody away to protect her granddaughter Patience Turner, who is also a powerful psychic and allows the Wraith to kill her, having seen that this is the path that will ensure its destruction. With help from Patience, Dean kills the Wraith and avenges Missouri's death while also fulfilling her last wish to see her granddaughter protected. In the process, Patience learns that her father lied to her for most of her life about her grandmother.Nick
Nick, portrayed by Mark Pellegrino, is a widower and Lucifer (Supernatural), Lucifer's primary and most well known vessel. Though Nick himself only initially appears in person in season 5's "Pamela Barnes
Pamela Barnes, portrayed by Traci Dinwiddie, is a friend of Bobby Singer. A skilled psychic, she is bold and aggressive. Bobby calls upon her assistance in discovering what pulled Dean Winchester out of Hell inToni Bevell
Lady Antonia "Toni" Bevell, portrayed by Elizabeth Blackmore, is a Woman of Letters from British Men of Letters. In "Season 11, Alpha and Omega", Toni returns to her home in London only to get a call that something bad is happening. She heads to her basement where she observes a bulletin board decorated with information on the Winchester family. She bids her sleeping son goodbye and prepares to head out. Her servant gives her a few weapons before she leaves. When Sam and Castiel return to the Bunker after the sun was restored to normal, she uses the angel banishing sigil on Castiel and tells Sam that she is a member of the British Men of Letters. When she asks about Dean, Sam tells her he's dead. Toni tells Sam that she has come to take him to see the Boss at the London Chapter of the Men of Letters. She accuses him of playing with things - Archangels, Leviathans, the Darkness - bigger than he can handle. She soon fires a gun at him, leaving Sam's fate uncertain. In "Season 12, Keep Calm and Carry On", Toni brings Sam, who she shot in the leg, to Dr. Marion to have his injuries treated, paying him with $100,000 to not ask questions. Taking him to a farmhouse, Toni explains that the British Men of Letters have kept Britain safe from monsters for forty years and want to do the same with America. To this end, she demands information on all of the hunters in America, their leadership and how to contact them. When Sam refuses to tell her, Toni has Ms. Watt torture him for the information, but he continues to refuse. Though Ms. Watt suggests bringing in Mr. Ketch, Toni refuses as she doesn't like the man and instead decides to resort to mental torture, causing Sam to have hallucinations of dead people in an attempt to break his mind. However, when Dean calls her and threatens Toni if she doesn't turn over Sam, she sends Ms. Watt to kill him. Eventually, Sam apparently commits suicide as a result of his hallucinations, but in actuality tricks Toni and briefly overpowers her. Sam nearly escapes, but Toni manages to lock him in the basement once again. In "Mamma Mia", Toni uses a spell and potion to create a hallucination where she seduces Sam to get information from him. She is unable to get much before Sam sees through it and Toni resumes her physical torture. As she tortures Sam, Toni gets a call from Mick informing her that Ms. Watt is dead and he has come to bring her in as she's gone too far. Toni refuses to stop and captures Dean when he locates the farmhouse with help from Ms. Watt's cell phone and Castiel. Toni threatens to torture Dean instead but before she can begin, a resurrected Mary Winchester threatens her at gunpoint. Toni and Mary engage in a fight that ends with Toni cutting open her hand and mentally strangling Mary while Dean threatens her with Mary's gun. Toni demands the gun, stating Mary will die if she is killed and Dean pretends to comply. As Dean hands over the gun, he punches Toni unconscious, having recognized that she was using a Chinese mind control technique and that knocking her out would end its effects. The group is then interrupted by Mick who explains that Toni's orders were to make contact with the Winchesters but she went too far out of her belief of their being a malfeasance in the American hunters. Mick promises that Toni will be punished in London for her actions and departs with her. Toni remains steadfast in her desire to get answers, but Mick refuses though he tells her if necessary, he will do what he has to do to deal with the situation. To that end, he has called for Mr. Ketch, something that leaves Toni visibly uneasy. In "The Raid", Arthur Ketch has a drink with Dean and tells him that Toni's rogue actions were unforeseen by all but Arthur who "had a sneak peak at what a neurotic, overreaching time bomb she was." Arthur then explains that he and Toni used to date which Dean is not surprised by. In "Twigs & Twine & Tasha Banes" and "There's Something About Mary", Toni returns to brainwash Mary into being a remorseless killer for the British Men of Letters. Toni succeeds, but is lured into a trap and captured by the Winchesters. Toni informs them of Mick Davies' murder and confirms that her organization is likely responsible for the death of American hunters. At the bunker, the Winchesters are ambushed by Arthur Ketch and three operatives. After killing Arthur's men, a brainwashed Mary forces them to let Arthur go. Arthur then locks the Winchesters in the bunker, initiating a lockdown that cuts off all power, water and air which will result in their suffocation in two to three days. As Toni is a rival for heading the American operation, Arthur locks her in the bunker to die with the Winchesters. In "Who We Are" Toni claims that she is the only person that can undo Mary's brainwashing to get the Winchesters to spare her. For two days, the Winchesters and Toni work together to find a way out with a magical solution ultimately failing. As the three are on the verge of dying, Dean uses a grenade launcher to blast a hole into the sewers, a plan that Toni feels is insane. Dean then hits the bunker's manual override and save Sam and Toni. After learning that Jody Mills has captured Mary, the Winchesters demand that Toni break the brainwashing and she finally admits to lying to them about being able to do it. Toni suggests the Winchesters run and watches Sam's rallying speech to the American hunters with apparent interest. Toni agrees to help Dean enter Mary's mind using equipment at the bunker and asks in return that Dean give her a head start before killing Toni so that she can have a chance to see her son one last time. With Toni's help, Dean breaks Mary's brainwashing, but awakens to find that Arthur Ketch has murdered Toni while he was unconscious.Doctor Hess
Doctor Hess, portrayed by Gillian Barber, is a British Men of Letters Elder and the Headmistress of the Kendricks Academy. In 1987, Doctor Hess forced Kendricks student Mick Davies to murder his best friend Timothy as a test of Mick's loyalty to the British Men of Letters code. In "The British Invasion", Doctor Hess contacts Mick and orders him to "assimilate or eliminate" the American hunters. To ensure Mick's compliance, Doctor Hess sends her lackey Renny Rawlings to watch over him. Following the accidental death of Renny at the hands of Eileen Leahy and the Colt, Doctor Hess personally comes to the British Men of Letters compound, leaving Britain for apparently the first time. After determining that Mick has become too much like the American hunters, Doctor Hess has Arthur Ketch murder him and announces that they will now wipe out the American hunters, particularly the Winchesters. In "There's Something About Mary" and "Who We Are", Doctor Hess personally coordinates an operation to wipe out the American hunters. She suggests to both Arthur Ketch and Lady Toni Bevell that once it is over, she will place each of them in charge. As her operatives prepare to strike against the hunters, their families and any bystanders, an assault team of American hunters led by Sam Winchester attacks the British compound. Despite being heavily outnumbered and outgunned, the American hunters slaughter the British operatives, taking some casualties of their own. Desperate, Doctor Hess kills a hunter and retreats to the control room to call for extraction, but the people in Britain can't get her out. She is then confronted at gunpoint by Sam, Jody Mills and another hunter named Walt. Doctor Hess attempts to convince Sam that they still need each other as Lucifer has escaped and Crowley is dead. After a moment of consideration, Sam refuses Doctor Hess' offer and pointedly destroys the computer she was using to communicate with Britain. Enraged, Doctor Hess attempts to shoot Sam only to be shot through the head herself by Jody Mills. The American hunters then destroy the British compound, ending their operation and threat in America. In "All Along the Watchtower", Sam shares the intelligence Doctor Hess gave him on Lucifer with Dean and Mary. Sam is shown to believe Doctor Hess' claims as he recognizes Lucifer's vessel from the surveillance pictures Doctor Hess shared with him.Victor Henriksen
Victor Henriksen, played by Charles Malik Whitfield, was an FBI agent who pursued the Winchesters since the bank "robbery" in the season two episode "Nightshifter". He believed the Winchesters were serial killers responsible for the deaths that have occurred in various towns. He continued to pursue them when, in the season three episode "Jus in Bello (Supernatural), Jus in Bello", he finally captured them and held them in a small town jail while waiting for an FBI helicopter to arrive. However, demons arrived and destroyed the helicopter; one of them possessed Henriksen but was exorcised. Finally believing in the supernatural, he agreed to help the Winchesters as they fought off the demon horde. Afterwards, he agreed to tell the FBI that they were in the helicopter when it crashed. However, after the Winchesters left, he was killed by #Lilith, Lilith. Henriksen made another appearance in season four's "Are You There, God? It's Me...Dean Winchester". Lilith was breaking the 66 Seals to free Lucifer, and one of them was the Rising of the Witnesses. Sam, Dean, and Bobby met the ghosts of people they could not save, including Henriksen, who told them what happened after they left the jail at the end of "Jus in Bello". The ghosts terrorized the trio until they were put to rest.Mr. Wyatt
Sam's teacher at Truman High in 1997. Mr. Wyatt takes an interest in Sam after reading his precocious written assignment about hunting werewolves, which was supposed to be nonfiction. Wyatt interprets the work as an allegory and an in-depth character study about family dynamics, encouraging Sam to pursue the academic life he wants to attain without being shackled to family dictates. Sam and Dean return to Truman High in the season 4 episode "After School Special" to hunt a vengeful spirit that's been terrorizing the school grounds by possessing students and making them do hideous things to bullies. Sam takes some time to chat with Mr. Wyatt in a miniature reunion to thank him for giving him advice and acting as a counselor when he attended the school.Other supernatural beings
The Alpha Vampire
The Alpha Vampire, portrayed by Rick Worthy is the first member of the vampire species. He was created by Eve and spread vampirism afterwards. When Crowley starts a hunt for Alphas to locate Purgatory, he starts sending telepathic messages to his "children" to create as many new vampires as they can. Dean sees this message when he's briefly infected with vampirism and the Campbells use it to track him down and capture him. The Alpha is tortured, but eventually breaks free, killing Christian Campbell. After a fight, Christian, who is revealed to be possessed by a demon, gets up and injects him with dead man's blood, incapacitating him. Afterwards, Crowley arrives and takes him away. The Alpha is held with all the other captured monsters in Crowley's prison, but escapes before Castiel can kill him like he does the other Alphas and monsters in the prison. The Alpha makes a deal with the Leviathans to share humanity among both species with the Leviathan substance that makes humans more docile making it easier for vampires to feed. After several of his vampires die after feeding on infected humans, the Alpha flees to his retreat at an old monastery where Sam and Dean track him down. However, Emily, a young woman he'd held prisoner for twelve years, calls him to warn him that they're coming. The Alpha captures Sam and Dean who ask for his blood, explaining that the Leviathan substance was what killed his vampires and that he'd been betrayed. The Alpha refuses to listen and after hearing that Edgar has arrived, orders the hunters locked up. The Alpha confronts Edgar who confirms Sam and Dean's story, telling him that the Leviathans intend to use the fact that so many monsters feed on humans to wipe them out. When Edgar insults Eve, the Alpha attacks him, throwing Borax in his face, but Edgar overpowers him. Before Edgar can kill the Alpha, Sam and Dean, who broke free, attack and Sam decapitates Edgar. Grateful for their actions and understanding that they have a common enemy, the Alpha gives Sam and Dean his blood without a fight and allows them to take a young boy named Alan he has captured. As they leave, warning him not to keep Edgar's head too close to his body, the Alpha taunts them that they truly want to kill him instead of leaving it for another time and promises to "see you next season." The Alpha Vampire returns in "The Raid" when the British Men of Letters begin systematically wiping out all of the vampires in America. The Alpha Vampire leads an assault on the British compound where he faces off with Sam who arms himself with the Colt, the only weapon the British possess capable of harming the Alpha Vampire. Sam offers the Alpha Vampire a deal where he can have the British if he will leave the Winchesters alone to resume the old way of hunting. Sam is then attacked by Mick Davies and the Alpha Vampire by Mary Winchester before both are defeated. Sam then reveals to the Alpha Vampire it was all a distraction so he could get and load a bullet for the Colt. Impressed, the Alpha Vampire calls Sam a "clever, clever boy" before Sam shoots him through the head with the Colt. As the legendary gun's power works on him, the Alpha Vampire briefly laughs and smiles before dropping to the ground, dead.Amy Pond
Portrayed by Emma Grabinsky as an adolescent and by Jewel Staite as an adult. Amy was a Kitsune who grew up traveling around with her mother. In 1998, they crossed paths with Sam Winchester in Lincoln, Nebraska. Amy killed her mother to protect Sam, with whom she had grown close. Amy re-encountered Sam years later. Sam tracked her down after she committed a series of murders. Amy then reveals that she had only committed the murders to strengthen her sick son Jacob. Given the circumstances, and their history, Sam agrees to let her go and makes Dean promise to do the same. However, Dean later returns and kills Amy. He spares her son, who vows revenge. Dean lies to Sam about Amy's fate but is plagued by guilt. The truth is eventually revealed and is a source of conflict between the brothers for a time. Amy's name is a nod to the ''Doctor Who'' Amy Pond, character of the same name.Benny Lafitte
Benjamin "Benny" Lafitte (Ty Olsson) is a vampire who was a vampire pirate during his first lifetime until he met Andrea Kormos and fell in love with her, leaving his nest and stopping feeding on humans. He was eventually tracked down and killed by his nest mates and went to Purgatory where he spent around fifty years before Dean ended up there after killing Dick Roman. Benny saves Dean from another vampire and makes a deal with him: in exchange for Dean taking him with him, Benny will show him a portal out of Purgatory. Benny helps Dean find Castiel, warning him that traveling with an angel will get them killed, but Dean is insistent on all of them getting out. After Benny saves Castiel from Leviathans, he earns Dean's full trust and Dean carries him out of Purgatory in his arm. On Earth, Dean travels to Benny's grave and resurrects him. The two remain in touch but stay separate until Benny goes after his nest for revenge and to protect himself from further attempts on his life. After Benny is injured, he calls Dean for help and together they take down the nest, with Benny killing his maker. However, Benny is reunited with Andrea who he learns was turned into a vampire instead of being killed. She helps him out, but to Benny's heartbreak, he learns that she has changed and wants to take over the pirating operation herself and Dean is forced to kill her to save Benny. Needing something to keep him on the straight and narrow, Benny moves to his hometown of Carencro, Louisiana where he meets and secretly looks out for his great-granddaughter Elizabeth. Rogue vampire Desmond tries to get Benny to join him, but Benny refuses and Desmond leaves a trail of bodies to try to get Benny to agree, drawing the attention of insane hunter Martin Creaser and Sam and Dean. Dean and Benny hunt down and kill Desmond, but Martin tries to kill Benny, using Elizabeth as a hostage. Benny is forced to kill him in self-defense and is left in a deteriorating situation worsened by the fact that Dean soon afterwards cuts off all contact. When Sam gets trapped in Purgatory, Dean goes to Benny for help, knowing he can get Sam out. Benny agrees, telling Dean he feels he no longer fits in on Earth. Dean kills Benny who saves Sam andChuck Shurley / God
Chuck Shurley, also known by the pseudonym Carver Edlund and portrayed by Rob Benedict, is an author of a marginalized book series ''Supernatural'', which recounts everything the Winchester brothers have experienced during the show's run. After confronting him about his seemingly omniscient knowledge of their escapades, it is revealed that he is a Prophet of the Lord, and his works will become new gospels. Between the fourth-season finale "Lucifer Rising" and the fifth-season premiere "Sympathy for the Devil," he witnesses the death of Castiel at the hands of the archangel Raphael. Being the author of the ''Supernatural'' series, he attends the first ''Supernatural'' convention Sam and Dean were tricked into attending. When it turns out the hotel is actually haunted, he is forced to occupy the guests and the hotel staff while the Winchesters and a pair of cosplayers destroy the ghosts. When the hotel manager leaves and breaks the salt line, he dissipates the ghost with an iron post, unintentionally gaining the affections of Becky. In "Swan Song," Chuck is periodically narrating about the history of the Impala, his script having the same name as the episode. He informs Dean of the final battlefield between Michael and Lucifer, despite the angels wishing him not to know. At its conclusion, while ending the narration, Chuck smiles and disappears into thin air, leading some to question whether he is merely a prophet that is no longer needed or is actually God. Castiel later states that while he doesn't know what happened to Chuck, he must be dead as a new Prophet was chosen in the form of Kevin Tran and that only happens when the old Prophet dies. In the Season 10 episode "Fan Fiction" Chuck is shown to be alive as he reappears at the end of a play based on his books and comments that it was "not bad" when asked his opinion by the play's writer, Marie. In the Season 11 episode "Don't Call Me Shurley", Metatron is transported to a bar that he recognizes as one of God's constructs where he meets with Chuck. After Metatron criticizes his writing, Chuck reveals to the shocked Metatron that he is in fact God, having taken on the form of Chuck Shurley to have a more hands-on role. God explains that after the Apocalypse was averted, He traveled the world but has grown tired of everything and intends to let Amara destroy the world while He works on His autobiography with Metatron's help. God gives Metatron several insights into His actions, confirming He resurrected Castiel several times to aid the Winchesters and revealing he "turned off" Dean's amulet's ability to detect him. He also shows sympathy for Lucifer, stating that Lucifer is not a villain. God is generally apathetic to what's going on on Earth, but Metatron gives Him an impassioned speech about how humanity is better than Him because for all their flaws, they still try. After finishing his autobiography, God has Metatron read it while he plays "Dink's Song" on his guitar. On Earth, God stops Amara's insanity infection and resurrects those who died because of it. After finding Dean's old amulet glowing in Sam's pocket, the brothers follow it to the middle of the street where God, in the form of Chuck, is helping those affected by Amara. The Winchesters are shocked to realize that Chuck was God the whole time and God tells them they should talk. In "All in the Family", God proves who he is by transporting the Winchesters to the bunker and calling upon the spirit of Kevin Tran to confirm his story. The Winchesters then learn from Metatron that God intends to sacrifice himself to the Darkness to save the universe rather than fight her. After the Winchesters rescue Lucifer, God greets his rebellious son for the first time in millennia and heals his numerous injuries from Amara's torture. In "We Happy Few" there is great tension between God and Lucifer, but the Winchesters get them to have a sit-down in which God admits Lucifer was always his favorite and he feels he failed him by giving him the Mark. Lucifer and God reconcile and gather the witches, angels and demons to aid them in battling Amara since Raphael was dead, Gabriel was presumed dead, God couldn't bring them back in time, and Michael is insane. Together, they defeat the Darkness and God goes to transfer the Mark to Sam to imprison his sister once more, but the Darkness retaliates, leaving God mortally wounded. In "Alpha and Omega", God reluctantly aids the Winchesters in formulating a plan to kill the Darkness to balance the scales once he's dead. As God grows weaker and the universe dies with him, the Darkness teleports him to her location where Dean has convinced her to find another way. The Darkness admits she was jealous of no longer being everything to God and asks to have her brother back. The siblings reconcile and the Darkness heals the injuries she inflicted upon God, reversing the end of the universe. The two siblings then depart the Earth together for a "family meeting." Chuck/God later appears in the Supernatural (Season 14), season 14 finale "Moriah", where he tries to convince the Winchesters that Jack Kline has become too powerful and needs to be stopped. After much persuading, God manages to get the Winchesters on his side. However, As Dean prepares to execute Jack with the Colt, Sam realizes that God is enjoying the scene. The Winchesters and Castiel then discover that their entire lives have been nothing more than stories for Chuck/God's Sadistic Personality Disorder, sadistic amusement. When the Winchesters confront him on his manipulations (culminating in Dean telling him to "go to Hell"), God responds by killing Jack himself. As he prepares to leave, Chuck is shot and wounded by Sam, causing him to declare "The end" of their story, unleash the souls of hell and leave. Weakened by the Colt, Chuck seeks help from Amara in Reno. Amara, however, realizes that Chuck has never changed as a person, and leaves him trapped on earth. Chuck then meets with Becky, and tells her of his "ending" to the story of the Winchesters. When Becky is horrified by his idea, Chuck reveals himself to be God before presumably killing her and her family. God later traps Sam and Eileen in a casino, whose occupants he murdered. Knowing that Dean and Castiel are working to defeat him, Chuck shows Sam visions of the "future" if they win. In it, Castiel is corrupted by theThe Darkness
The Darkness, often called by her other name Amara, and portrayed primarily by Emily Swallow, is a supremely powerful primordial entity who has existed since before the beginning of time, along with her brother God. She is described as the darkness that existed before Creation. Sometime later, God came into being. He created the Archangels to fight a terrible war against her. Through the combined power of God and the Archangels, God sealed her away, not wanting to kill her, by using the Mark of Cain as both a lock and key. God revealed that he chose not to kill her in her weakened state as they both needed to be alive because light cannot exist without darkness, and killing Amara would disrupt the balance that reality is founded upon, destroying it. The Archangels battled her and thus knew of her existence, but she is so ancient and mysterious that the Demons and the Angels, besides the Archangels and Metatron, God's scribe, did not believe she existed. During the eleventh season, she escapes her prison to get revenge on her brother, but she and God reconcile by the end of the season. In season 15, Amara returns, enjoying a peaceful life on Earth and wanting nothing to do with her brother and his plans to destroy everything. The Winchesters discover that to kill Chuck, they must also kill Amara to avoid the universe coming to an end. After learning that Dean has betrayed her, Amara allows Chuck to absorb her so that they can once again become one. However, she is still alive somewhere within Chuck. After Jack absorbs Chuck's power and becomes the new God, he tells the Winchesters that he and Amara exist in harmony.Death
Death, portrayed by Julian Richings, is an immensely powerful entity also called The Grim Reaper or the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Pale Horseman. He is neither demon nor angel, and states he is "as old as God." In the climax of "Abandon All Hope", Lucifer performs a bloody ritual to raise Death, and to bind him to Lucifer's apocalyptic bidding. In "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid", Death goes to Bobby's hometown of Sioux Falls and resurrects many deceased locals as undead; this includes Bobby's wife. The revived at first appear and act normal, but soon take on feral states; this forces others to kill them in self-preservation. These events were an attempt to break Bobby, one of the few remaining influences keeping Sam from agreeing to be Lucifer's vessel. In "The Devil You Know", Bobby temporarily sells his soul to Crowley to locate Death. In "Two Minutes to Midnight" — Death's first corporeal appearance — Death arrives in Chicago to precipitate a storm which would kill three million. His vehicle is a pale white 1959 Cadillac. In a lengthy conversation with Dean, he reveals that this and other actions is the influence of Lucifer's binding spell, which Death wishes to break. He presents Dean with his ring, the final piece allowing the Winchesters to open Lucifer's cage and re-imprison Lucifer. "Two Minutes to Midnight" also introduces Death's taste for the typical, renowned, and often unhealthy local restaurant foods of the places he visits, which becomes something of a running gag. Death appears again in "Appointment in Samarra", in which Dean attempts to convince him to retrieve Sam's soul from Lucifer's cage. Death agrees to do so if Dean performs Death's duties for an uninterrupted 24 hours. Although Dean fails, the Horseman still restores Sam's soul, regarding the Winchesters as "useful". He also forms a wall between Sam's active consciousness and the debilitating memories of his time in Lucifer's cage. In season seven when Castiel proclaims himself God, the Winchesters summon and bind Death as part of a plan to stop Castiel; Death takes an instant dislike to him. He informs the angel that he is not God and that he is harboring something else within him, the Leviathans, that will soon break free. Castiel removes the Winchesters' bind and leaves. Death, of his own free will, creates another eclipse, giving the Winchesters and Castiel a chance to return the souls to Purgatory before they destroy his vessel. Castiel succeeds in sending the souls back, but the Leviathans manage to hold on and escape into the world. In "I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here," when Sam is dying, Death comes to reap him personally, intimating that he considers it an honor. He also states that, though he usually does not pass judgment, he finds all Sam's actions "well-played." Sam requests, and Death agrees, to make it so that Sam dies permanently, such that no one and nothing can bring him back to life. Ezekiel, in Dean's form, interrupts them, however, and Death allows them to talk, saying that it is Sam's choice if he lives or dies. Sam chooses to live, ultimately, and Ezekiel possesses him to heal the damage the trials inflicted. In "Brother's Keeper", Dean summons Death to kill him as he feels theEleanor Visyak
Portrayed by Kim Johnston Ulrich, Eleanor Visyak is a creature from Purgatory who is over 900 years old. She was released from there on March 10, 1937, by a spell performed by H.P. Lovecraft. She possessed the body of his maid, Eleanor. She has been living as a professor of medieval studies at San Francisco University. She has a romantic past with Bobby Singer. In "Like a Virgin", at Bobby's suggestion, Dean visits Dr. Visyak to gain information about dragons and how to kill them. She has a dragon killing sword - the Sword of Brunswick (or Braunschweig) - in her basement, which is stuck in a large rock. Dean extracts it using plastic explosives, breaking the sword in the process. While visiting Westborough, the son of Eleanor, who saw his mother possessed by a creature from Purgatory in 1937, Bobby sees a photo of the woman and realizes that it is the woman he knows as Eleanor Visyak. He finds her in a cabin - one of her 'safe houses' - and tells her he knows who she really is. She confirms his suspicions, but denies that she killed H.P. Lovecraft. Bobby warns her that Castiel is looking for her. He asks for the information about how to open a door to Purgatory, but she refuses to tell him, and also rejects his offer of protection. As she leaves the cabin at the end of the episode, Castiel appears and takes her. A flashback of Sam's in the finale "The Man Who Knew Too Much" reveals that he, Bobby, and Dean found her, fatally wounded, in an alley. She recounts her tortured at the hands of Crowley and Castiel, and admits that she eventually gave in and revealed the spell to access to Purgatory, which involves the blood of a virgin and the blood of a creature from Purgatory. Eleanor dies before she can reveal where Crowley and Castiel are.Eve
Eve, portrayed by Julia Maxwell and Samantha Smith (actress), Samantha Smith, is also known as the "Mother of All". Eve was last on Earth 10,000 years ago. She is the original propagator of the majority of supernatural beings. She has been trapped in Purgatory, where the souls of the supernatural go. Eve is released from Purgatory in "Like a Virgin" by a sacrificial ritual. In "...And Then There Were None", Eve creates a being - referred to colloquially as the Khan Worm - that can enter a person's body through the ear and control their actions. She plants it inside a trucker, who goes on to kill his family. It then passes to one of his co-workers who kills 12 people. While investigating the murders, it infects Dean who kills his cousin Gwen, and then infects Samuel, and finally Bobby who kills Rufus while possessed. While possessing Bobby, it tells Dean and Sam that it was created by Eve, who intends for supernatural beings to take over the world. After acquiring the ashes of a Phoenix, said to be lethal to Eve, Sam, Dean, Bobby and Castiel take the fight to her in "Mommy Dearest". Eve reveals that her actions are purely a response to Crowley, still alive, and his capture and torture of her children. She speculates that he is after the souls in Purgatory, and claims that she was satisfied with the natural order of humans and monsters coexisting (with occasional bloodshed on both sides) until Crowley forced her hand. Eve dies after biting Dean, who had Phoenix ash in his blood, to which Crowley takes her body for autopsy. In "There Will Be Blood!," when the Leviathan Edgar is very dismissive towards the Alpha Vampire, he calls himself a "son of Eve," but Edgar calls the Alpha a "mutt" and Eve was "barely worth being called one of us." When Edgar calls Eve a whore, the Alpha Vampire is enraged and attacks him.Dr. Hydeker
Dr. Hydeker, portrayed by Adrian Hough in his human form and Jeannie Epper in his real form, is a shtriga, a monster that feeds on the life force of children in ''Supernatural''. Hydeker is immortal, superhumanly strong and fast and nearly invulnerable to harm with lore stating that shtriga cannot be killed any weapon forged by God or man. However, he is vulnerable to consecrated wrought-iron rounds when he is feeding. In his true form Hydeker appears as a gray-skinned humanoid figure in a cloak with long clawed fingers. Hydeker's first known series of attacks were in Black River Falls, Wisconsin in 1893. Hydeker targeted dozens of children and worked as one of the doctors treating the mysterious illness, in reality the children's bodies wearing out due to their life force being drained which ultimately resulted in them dying after lingering for months. Every fifteen to twenty years, Hydeker would emerge again, feed on dozens of children and then disappear again. In around 1989, while active in Fort Douglas, Wisconsin, Hydeker was hunted by John Winchester. While John was out hunting and Dean Winchester, Dean was playing arcade games one night, Hydeker attempted to feed on the life force of a young Sam Winchester. John returned in time to drive Hydeker away. By the time John returned from dropping his children off at a friend's house for safety, Hydeker had vanished again. In 2006, Hydeker resurfaced again in Fitchburg, Wisconsin. John got wind of Hydeker's return and sent his sons the coordinates, knowing that Dean considered killing the creature that had targeted his brother unfinished business. In his human disguise, Hydeker was once again the doctor treating the children who had fallen into comas from his feeding. After Hydeker fed on the life force of Asher, the son of a local motel owner, Sam went through newspaper records to discover how far back the shtriga attacks went and identified Hydeker as the culprit through a picture from 1893 of Hydeker standing around one of his victim's bed with a bunch of other doctors. To kill Hydeker, the Winchesters convinced Asher's older brother Michael to help, knowing that Hydeker would target him next. As Hydeker went to feed on Michael, the Winchesters entered the room and shot him several times, but he survived as he had not yet begun feeding. During the fight that followed, Hydeker began feeding on Sam, but Dean caught his attention and shot Hydeker in the head, killing him. Dean then emptied several more rounds into his body which crumbled to dust. The life force Hydeker drained returned to his victims and they all recovered. The morning following his death, Michael and Asher's mother noted that Hydeker had mysteriously not appeared at work, a fact that the Winchesters did not comment on.Pestilence
Pestilence, portrayed by Matt Frewer, is one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, along with War, Famine and Death. He equates to the Green Horsemen, and wears an emerald-embedded ring. He can create and manipulate infestations, plagues, diseases, and other sicknesses. Upon Lucifer's rise, Pestilence spreads Swine Flu on Earth. It is later revealed that the flu was spread to distribute the Croatoan Virus in the form of a 'vaccine'. Dean witnesses the effects of this when transported to the future by Zachariah - approximately 90% of the planet's population is infected. When the Winchesters track Pestilence, he is revealed to be vengeful for the defeat of War and Famine. Castiel defeats the Horseman by removing his ring and, with assistance from Crowley, the spread of the Croatoan Virus is prevented. The eventual fate of Pestilence is unknown, but it can be assumed that he survived his defeat, albeit much weakened.Rowena MacLeod
Rowena MacLeod, portrayed by Ruth Connell, is an immortal and powerful witch and the mother of Fergus Rodrick MacLeod, who later becameThe Shadow
The Shadow, portrayed by Misha Collins, Erica Cerra and Rachel Miner, is the mysterious and powerful being inhabiting the Empty. Called the Shadow by Naomi, it is also referred to as a cosmic entity and the Empty itself by various characters. In season 13's "The Big Empty," the Shadow is awoken when Castiel unexpectedly wakes up in the Empty. Taking on the form of Castiel himself but with a more sinister voice, the Shadow explains that it and the Empty predate everything and that not even God has power in its realm. It attempts to torment and threaten Castiel into compliance, but he continually refuses and demands that it resurrect him instead. After Castiel threatens to keep it awake for eternity until they both go insane, the Shadow reluctantly resurrects the angel. In "Tombstone," Castiel briefly mentions annoying "an ancient cosmic being" into sending him back to life, but subsequently attributes his resurrection to Jack. In season 14's "Byzantium," the Shadow invades Heaven in search of Jack after the young Nephilim dies, feeling that he belongs in the Empty due to his half angel nature. The Shadow demonstrates its immense power by effortlessly blasting into Heaven, blowing open even the gates permanently sealed by Metatron years earlier and consuming the remaining angels. Secretly possessing the angel Dumah, the Shadow accompanies Castiel to Jack in #Kelly Kline, Kelly Kline's Heaven where it reveals itself and attempts to take Jack with it. Receiving a prayer from Dean that they are ready to resurrect Jack, Castiel offers to trade himself for Jack to the Shadow, pointing out that it could be waiting eons for him otherwise. The Shadow accepts the deal, but warns that it will come to collect when Castiel is truly happy. The Shadow departs Dumah and Heaven and returns to the Empty, restoring all of the angels to normal. In "Moriah," after being killed by God, Jack awakens in the Empty where he is greeted by the Shadow in its viscous humanoid form. The Shadow forms a smile on its face and appears to laugh at the confused Jack before Billie appears to tell Jack that they need to talk. In season 15's "Destiny's Child," the Shadow takes on the form of Meg Masters when Castiel returns to the Empty in search of Ruby (Supernatural), Ruby. Imitating many of the demon's mannerisms, the Shadow greets Castiel with Meg's trademark "Hello, Clarence," but is unable to collect on their deal as Castiel is not truly happy and it is working with Billie to stop God, having allowed Billie to resurrect Jack. Though annoyed, the Shadow reluctantly allows Castiel to converse with Ruby to find out the location of the Occultum. When Castiel prepares to leave, the Shadow explains that Billie has promised to send it back to sleep in exchange for the Shadow's help, something that the entity has been unable to do on its own since Castiel and Jack inadvertently woke it up two years before. Though the Shadow can't collect on their deal yet, it enjoys torturing Castiel while he is still within its power. After Jack takes Castiel out of the Empty, the amused Shadow simply comments that it will see him soon. In "Unity," the Shadow, still in the form of Meg, is discovered by Sam inside of Death's Library searching for Billie. The Shadow explains that Castiel's visit to the Empty caused the being to doubt Billie's trustworthiness. To Sam's shock and horror, the Shadow reveals that Billie's true plan is to take power as the new God once Jack kills Amara and Chuck, leaving a power vacuum. For its help, Billie has promised to help the Shadow return to its slumber. Though the Shadow has located Chuck's book in the library, only Billie can read it. Sam convinces the Shadow that he is working for Billie and the being reluctantly turns the book over to him. During this time, its revealed that the Shadow can't come to Earth unless it is directly summoned there due to precautions put into place by Chuck. In "Despair," to contain Jack's detonation, Billie teleports him into the Empty where he encounters the Shadow, still using Meg's form. The being is at first amused by his appearance until Jack explodes, engulfing them both. Both Jack and the Shadow survive, but after the being reforms, it is noticeably horrified and tells Jack that he made the usually silent Empty "loud," indicating that something has gone terribly wrong. At the same time, Billie confirms that the Shadow was telling the truth about her plans and that she really did lie to and manipulate the being. However, she feels safe on Earth as the Shadow can't come unless it is directly summoned. Billie eventually rescues Jack from the Empty after Sam returns Chuck's Death book, angering the Shadow who was causing Jack intense pain at the time. After being mortally wounded with her own scythe by Dean, Billie returns to her library which she has warded against the Shadow as a precaution. Later, Castiel realizes that the only way to stop Billie is to complete his deal with the Shadow which will summon it to take him. Castiel reveals his deal with the Shadow to Dean and completes it by confessing his love for Dean. The Shadow immediately opens a portal into the Empty in the bunker's dungeon and sends through two tendrils of darkness which absorb Castiel and Billie and pull them into the Empty. In "Carry On (Supernatural), Carry On,"Sully
Sully, a zanna, is an imaginary friend of Sam's, created in response to a string of imaginary friend murders. Zanna are normally only visible to the children to whom they're assigned, and have certain charm capabilities and the power of teleportation and telepathy among themselves; however, they are vulnerable to spells that expose their presence. Sam confided to Sully as a kid, and was almost convinced to leave behind his hunter family in pursuit of a monsterless life. However, Sam capriciously reversed course and exiled Sully. After his breakup with Sam, Sully attempted to mentor two girls, Audrey and Reese, which ended in the melancholy accidental death of Audrey during a game of tag. Reese dedicated her life toward retribution, acquiring magic and special blades that could kill imaginary friends from witches, and systematically began attacking Sully's immediate friend circle, starting with Sparkle and Nicky Mermaid, and almost fatally wounding air guitar playing Weems. When Sam and Dean intervene, Reese eventually forgives Sully, and Sam apologizes for dismissing him as a child.Creatures
Deities
Deity, Deities are god-like beings of different cultures that are also known as pagan gods. The deities were powerful beings many years ago, gaining power from their human followers as well as from human sacrifices. Due to the arrival of the Abrahamic religions, many deities were weakened, resulting in them having to take human sacrifices themselves. Many deities act on their own accord, gathering power or human sacrifices for themselves. In season one, Sam and Dean encounter the Vanir (performed by Mike Carpenter) in the episode "Scarecrow" where one of them appears as a scarecrow. In season three, Sam and Dean encounter Madge and Edward Carrigan (portrayed by Merrilyn Gann and Spencer Garrett) in "A Very Supernatural Christmas" where they are pagan gods of the winter solstice from an unspecified culture. In season five, Sam and Dean encounter a Leshy, Leshi in "Fallen Idols" who assumes the form of Abraham Lincoln (portrayed by David Livingston), Mahatma Gandhi (portrayed by Paul Statman), and Paris Hilton.

Mercury poses as the desk clerk who does most of the creation of the Elysium Hotel, Isis poses as a waitress, and Zhao Shen is implied to work as the hotel chef due to him mostly being in the kitchen. Their meeting is to discuss what to do about the threat of Lucifer and the approaching apocalypse. Gabriel infiltrates the meeting passing himself off as Loki up to the point where Kali remembers him. Sam and Dean warn them that Lucifer will overwhelm them. The pagan gods are persuaded to release the remaining humans. When Lucifer arrives at the Elysium Motel upon being summoned by Mercury, he kills Mercury and the pagan gods until only Kali remains. She is evacuated by Sam and Dean while Gabriel fights Lucifer. In season six, Sam and Dean encounter Veritas (portrayed by Serinda Swan) in "You Can't Handle the Truth."

The episode "Remember the Titans" had Sam and Dean encountering Zeus (portrayed by John Novak) and Artemis (portrayed by Anna Van Hooft) who were hunting Prometheus. In season nine, Sam and Dean encounter Vesta (mythology), Vesta (portrayed by Lindy Booth) in "Rock and a Hard Place." In season ten, Sam and Dean encounter Calliope (portrayed by Hannah Levien) in "Fan Fiction" where she was interfering with a play adapted from Chuck Shurley's book by manifesting a copy of the Vanir's scarecrow form. In season twelve, Sam and Dean encounter Moloch (portrayed by John DeSantis) in "The Memory Remains." In season thirteen, Sam and Dean encounter Yokoth and Glythur in "The Thing" where they came from another reality. Both of them were killed by God. The episode "Unfinished Business" featured the real Loki (portrayed by Richard Speight Jr.) who had a history with Gabriel where he freed Loki from his imprisonment that Odin placed him in. Loki later double-crossed him and then went after Gabriel years later to exact revenge for what Lucifer did to Odin. Gabriel was able to slay Loki. In season fourteen, Sam and Dean encounter Anubis (portrayed by Sean Amsing) in "Byzantium" who worked in Heaven and heard their tales. In season fifteen, Sam and Dean encounter Fortuna (portraye by Lynda Boyd) and her demigod son Pax (portrayed by Stephen Huszar) in "The Gamblers" where they learned the history of the pagan gods from Fortuna. It is revealed that God created the deities so humanity can blame them for his mistakes and that they also can make great stories.Djinn
Jinn, Djinn are a race of monsters appearing in ''Supernatural''. Unlike common lore, they do not actually grant wishes, and instead put their victims into a dream-state where they play out a fantasy in their mind where their wish has come true while the djinn feeds off of them. Other djinn have shown the ability to instead place their victims in a sort of waking nightmare state where they hallucinate their worst fears before being killed. A bastard offshoot exists as well, feeding on fear instead of desire and instead of putting people into states where they imagine their greatest desire, they are put into a nightmare where they experience their worst fear. Both kinds of djinn, the regular djinn and the bastard offshoot can be killed by a silver knife dipped in lamb's blood. Regular djinn poison can be cured using an antidote developed by the Campbell family, but the antidote does not work on the bastard offshoot's poison. This is speculated to be because they are a different kind of djinn and need a different kind of antidote. Another way of saving a person under the influence of djinn poison is to wake them from their dream state which breaks the loop they are in and ends the effects of the poison. In Supernatural (season 2), season 2's "What Is and What Should Never Be (Supernatural), What Is and What Should Never Be," the Winchesters hunt a djinn who apparently grants Dean's wish that his mother never died. As a result, Dean awakens in what is apparently an alternate reality where Mary Winchester is still alive, John Winchester died of natural causes years before, Sam is engaged to Jessica Moore and Dean is somewhat detached from his family though he has a beautiful girlfriend named Carmen Porter. While originally happy, Dean is distressed by his distance from his family and the discovery that the people the Winchesters saved died in the alternate reality without Sam and Dean there to save him. He is also haunted by visions of a young woman he found hanging in the djinn's lair. Dean decides to track down the djinn and reverse his wish, accompanied by a reluctant Sam. Upon arriving at the djinn's lair, Dean comes to the realization that he is not in an alternate reality after all but instead is in dream state while the djinn feeds on him. Despite his imagined family trying to convince him to stop, Dean commits suicide in the dream which awakens him in the real world where Sam finds him. Dean kills the djinn as it tries to put Sam into a similar state and they rescue the young woman, the djinn's other victim, who survives. In the Supernatural (season 6), season 6 premiere "Exile on Main St.," Dean is targeted for revenge by three djinn a year after quitting hunting in revenge for the death of the djinn in "What Is and What Should Never Be" who they identify as their father. Posing as Dean's waitress, one of the djinn, Brigitta, poisons Dean who experiences intense hallucinations, ending with an attack by the long-deadGhosts
Ghosts are one of the most recurring monsters of the week on ''Supernatural'', appearing at least once each season. In the show, there are several different types of ghosts that appear including: * Buruburu - A type of ghost that is born of fear and strikes people with the ghostly sickness. The episode "Yellow Fever" featured one made from the spirit of Luther Garland (portrayed by David Mattey) who was chained to a truck and dragged up and down a gravel road to death by Frank O'Brien. Sam and Bobby scared him to get him to rest since Buruburus can be defeated with fear. * Death Echoes - A type of trapped ghost that reenacts their own death in a loop. In "Ghostfacers" Sam, Dean, and the Ghostfacers encountered Death Echoes of the people whose bodies were stolen by Freeman Daggett. Alan Corbett of the Ghostfacers became Daggett's latest victim. * Death Omens - The Death Omens are an indicator where a person that is visited by it is going to die. They can manifest in different places at once. Isaiah Merchant (portrayed by Linden Banks) from "Provenance" was the first Death Omen that appeared after he was killed by his adoptive daughter Melanie. Claire Becker (portrayed by Shannon Powell) from "The Usual Suspects" is a Death Omen that was killed in life by Detective Peter Sheridan where she tried to warn people about his corruption. Espirito Santo is a ghost ship from "Red Sky at Morning" who appeared before anyone who murdered a member of their family. Cole Griffith (portrayed by Alexander Gould) from "Death Takes a Holiday" became a Death Omen to warn the Winchesters about the plot of Alastair and the Reapers. Leticia Gore (portrayed by Teagan Rae Avoledo) from "The Real Ghostbusters" was a Death Omen who tried to warn the Winchesters about the Ghost Orphans. Kate Fox (portrayed by Jennifer Koenig) from "The Mentalists" was a Death Omen who tried to warn people about the spirit of her sister Margaret killing them at the hands of Jimmy Tomorrow by giving them visions of their death. Victoria Dodd (portrayed by Elysia Rotaru) and Dexter O'Connell (portrayed by Derek Gilroy) from "Of Grave Importance" were Death Omens who tried to warn people about Whitman Van Ness. Lucas Kellinger (portrayed by Christian Convery) from "The Foundry" was a Death Omen that tried to warn people about the actions of Hugo Moriarty. * Poltergeists - * Spectres - The ghosts of people who were evil in life. * Vengeful ghost, Vengeful Spirits - The ghosts of people who want revenge for a wrong committed to them in life. Mary Worthington (portrayed by Jovanna Burke) from "Bloody Mary" was the first vengeful spirit they encountered where she was originally killed by a surgeon named Trevor Sampson and was based on Bloody Mary (folklore), Bloody Mary. * Violent Spirits - A type of dangerous ghost motivated by cruelty. The ghost of Jacob "Hookman" Karns (portrayed by Sean Millington) from "Hook Man" fed off the repressed emotions while murdering those he claimed had sinned. The ghost of Sanford Ellicott (portrayed by Norman Armour) from "Asylum" continued his barbaric experiments. The ghost of Melanie Merchant (portrayed by Jodelle Ferland) from "Provenance" haunted anyone who came in contact with her family's portrait. The ghost of serial killer Henry H Holmes (portrayed by Stephen Aberle) from "No Exit" continued killing people after his death. The ghost of the nurse Delores Glockner (portrayed by Andee Frizzell) from "Folsom Prison Blues" continued murdering people that entered her ward. The ghost of Freeman Daggett (portrayed by John DeSantis) from "Ghostfacers" killed people that entered his house on a leap year. The ghost of P.T. Sandover (portrayed by John Hainsworth) from "It's a Terrible Life" had his co-workers work hard to perfection and drive them to suicide if they fail. The Ghost Orphans (portrayed by Connor Stanhope, Connor Beardmore, and Luke Gail) from "The Real Ghostbusters" went on a rampage at a "Supernatural" convention. The ghost of Margaret Fox (portrayed by Mia Igimundson) from "The Mentalists" was used by Jimmy Tomorrow to kill fake psychics. The ghost of Whitman Van Ness (portrayed by Antonio Cupo) from "Of Grave Importance" had killed his fiancé and also bound the ghosts of his victims to his house as well as killing and binding anyone who entered the house. The ghost of Hugo Moriarty (portrayed by Cameron Grierson) from "The Foundry" killed any children that lived in his former house ever since the loss of his daughter. The ghost of Avery Meadows (portrayed by Sacha M. Romano) from "Advanced Thanatology" tracked down two boys who stole his doctor's mask. The ghost of John Wayne Gacy (portrayed by Chris Nowland in "Lebanon", Shaun Magee in "Moriah", Sean Tyson in "Back and to the Future") appears as a violent spirit and was found in his cigar box following Terry's death." The ghost of Francis Tumblety (portrayed by Lane Davies) was the person who operated as Jack the Ripper as revealed in "Raising Hell". The ghost of the witch Jacinda (portrayed by Alex Sturman) from "Golden Time" assisted her living relatives into reviving her after having been previously killed by Rowena. * Women in White - Female ghosts in white clothes that kidnap men and children and are loosely based on La Llorona. Constance Welch (portrayed by Sarah Shahi in the pilot, Shanae Tomasevich in "Moriah" and season 15) is a known Woman in White who drowned her children in a bathtub after finding her husband Joseph cheating on her and committed suicide. She haunted the highways near her home and killed anyone who got close. When Sam and Dean drive the car into the house where she briefly attacks them, Constance is confronted by the ghost of her children and dragged into the afterlife. During the show, numerous methods are employed to put the various ghosts to rest, but the most commonly used is salting and burning their human remains. Generally when a spirit's remains are salted and burned, they go up in flames. However, sometimes this is not possible due to cremation and they are attached to an object that must be salted and burned as well. Sam and Dean regularly use iron objects and rock salt shotgun pellets to battle ghosts as iron and salt repel them for a while. In Supernatural (season 7), season 7, hunterLeviathans
Leviathans were first introduced as another primary "creation" of God in the Season 7 premiere. According to Death, the Leviathans were among God's earliest creations but were sealed in Purgatory because they were a threat to His other creations. Castiel accidentally absorbs them, along with the souls in Purgatory, during his attempted apotheosis, and the Leviathans free themselves. Once free, they organize a hierarchy with the Leviathan possessing the businessman Richard "Dick" Roman as the leader, though Crowley claims that this being has always been their leader. The Leviathans are portrayed as virtually indestructible, voracious, and stronger than demons and low-level angels. They can Shape-shifting, shape-shift into humans, but to do so, they must use traces of their DNA. Leviathans not only replicate the corporeal form of a human, but also their memories and skills. They also have the ability to kill angels with brute force alone. Leviathans' weaknesses include magic, borax, and decapitation, though none of these are lethal. One way for a Leviathan to die is for it to be eaten by a Leviathan. Late in season seven, the characters find a tablet containing the "Word of God" that reveals a Leviathan can be killed by using "a bone of a righteous mortal washed in the blood of the three fallen." When this happens, the Leviathan liquefies and explodes. In season seven, the Leviathans, led by Roman, plan to turn humankind into a farmed, Leviathan food source. They intend to do so through chemically decreasing their intelligence via food adulterants and curing their diseases, including cancer. The Winchesters put a stop to this during the season finale, with Dean and Castiel killing Roman, which, as a side consequence, sends them to Purgatory. Killing Roman, the only Leviathan leader that there has ever been, severely weakens the Leviathans, as they are now directionless. According to Crowley, they will now be regular monsters, albeit ones that are much harder to kill. The remaining Leviathans heavily involved in the plan for humanity are slaughtered by Crowley and his army in the confusion, but Crowley indicates that there are more. By season 8, all the Leviathans' influence appears to have disappeared from the Earth though there are apparently some still out there as it is suggested in "Pac-Man Fever" that they are responsible for mysterious deaths. Not all Leviathans may have escaped from Purgatory through Castiel, as four were seen there during Dean and Castiel's time in the realm, attacking them. Castiel indicates that there are even more and states that they are relentlessly hunting him. One of his last memories before escaping Purgatory is of Leviathans chasing him.Chet
Chet (played by Sean Owen Roberts) is a Leviathan stationed at a credit card company. When a flagged alias that was registered by the Winchesters was used, Chet begins to hunt the Winchesters down, tracking them to their hotel room in Prosperity, Indiana. While he easily dominated the brothers, a witch that the Winchesters helped disabled Chet and allowed them to escape. Using copious amounts of chains, the brothers took Chet to Bobby Singer's to determine his weakness. While the brothers attempted to stop a pair of Leviathan doppelgangers, Bobby attempted to find a way to kill or hurt Chet. Nothing worked, until a Borax cleaning product used by Sheriff Jody Mills upstairs dripped from the ceiling; the chemical was significantly more painful and corrosive than anything else used, which Bobby affirmed to be the most effective countermeasure to Leviathans, in tandem with decapitation as long as the head was kept away from the body. Ultimately Bobby decapitated Chet who had at that time assumed Bobby's own form to taunt him and had Sheriff Jody Mills drop his head into a river while he encased Chet's body in concrete.Dick Roman
Dick Roman (played by James Patrick Stuart) is a billionaire businessman whose secret identity is that of the nameless leviathan leader. Shortly after they were unknowingly released by Castiel, the leviathans infiltrated human society, with their leader murdering and impersonating the real Dick Roman. Dick is shown to have a hatred of demons that exceeds even his feelings about humanity, rejecting the demon Crowley's (Mark Sheppard) offer to join forces with him and telling the current leader of Hell that he might wipe his kind from the Earth. In "How to Make Friends and Influence Monsters", Dick visits an experimental facility run by a leviathan impersonation of one Dr. Gaines, disappointed by the newspaper articles stemming from the drugs used, and makes him eat himself. When his henchmen capture Bobby, Dick attempts to stop the Winchesters' rescue attempt, fatally wounding Bobby on their escape. Dick is later revealed to be after something from archaeological digs, and assigns Charlie to break Frank's hard drive. Unknown to him, she cracks it, learns the truth about him and the rest of the Leviathans, and then teams up with the Winchesters to erase the drive and find out his plans. The Winchesters switch the item he was looking for with a Borax bomb that explodes in Dick's face. Realizing that Charlie betrayed him, he orders the building locked down and goes after her, but the Winchesters break in with the help of Bobby's ghost and Bobby holds Dick off long enough for Charlie and the Winchesters to escape. Dick has Edgar kidnap Kevin at the end of "Reading is Fundamental" and threatens Linda to get Kevin to translate the Word of God tablet in "There Will Be Blood". Dick correctly predicts that the Winchester brothers are planning to get the blood of the Alpha Vampire and of Crowley for the leviathan-killing bone described by the tablet; after sending Edgar on an ill-fated mission to kill the Alpha Vampire before the Winchesters can attain the alpha's blood, Dick summons and traps Crowley. Rather than kill the demon, however, Dick makes a deal with Crowley: in exchange for Crowley giving the Winchesters the wrong blood as part of a trap, the demons will get a free rein with humans in the world, excluding America, which is the place where the leviathans are currently targeting for its abundant food source. Foreseeing Crowley's betrayal, Dick also arranges for several decoys of himself positioned in Sucrocorp to fool the Winchesters into wasting the bone on a fake. However, Dean and Castiel ultimately find and confront Dick, whom Castiel is able to identify due to the brief time that the leviathans used him as their host. When the bone seemingly fails to work, Dick initially believes that he has won, only to find out that he himself has been tricked when Dean kills him with the real bone, sending him back to Purgatory. As an unintended consequence of using the bone, however, Dean and Castiel are pulled into Purgatory with him.Dr. Gaines
Dr. J. Gaines (played by Cameron Bancroft (actor), Cameron Bancroft) is a Leviathan using the surgeon's form, although his original form was taken from a young girl named Annie. Under orders from Edgar, he killed the real Dr. Gaines and took his identity. Gaines is responsible setting up a system of feeding on patients at Sioux Falls General, thereby reining in the Leviathans' indiscriminate feeding. Gaines also appears to be the one responsible for conducting the experiments on Sucrocorp, modifying food to make humans docile, dumb and hungry. Gaines is "bibbed", a form of punishment where he was forced to eat himself alive in a bib under Richard Roman's orders, since his experiments attracted the attention of the media.Edgar
Edgar (played by Benito Martinez (actor), Benito Martinez) is the first Leviathan introduced in the series, taking the form of a demolitions expert and working under orders from "the Leader" - which will be later revealed to be Dick Roman - sent to lead in those feeding indiscriminately and to kill Sam, Dean and Bobby when they interfered on his plans. After observing the new system for feeding developed at Sioux Falls General, he torches Bobby's house and confronts the Winchesters, breaking Dean's leg and knocking Sam unconscious. Dean crushes him with a car from Bobby's scrapyard, but he is later revealed to have been unharmed and continues to pursue the Winchesters and Bobby. After that, Edgar still worked underground under Dick's order, supervising Sucrocorp project. When the clay tablet that contained the Word of God was stolen by the Winchesters. Dick ordered Edgar to stop them, so he took the form of the detective Collins (played by Eric Floyd) and searched for Kevin Tran, the teenager prophet destined to keep the word. After two Angels return Kevin to his mother's house, Edgar easily kills the two. He later helps Dick force Kevin Tran to translate the Word of God for them and tries to kill the Alpha Vampire. However, Sam decapitates him while he is distracted and as a result of his betrayal, the Alpha gives Sam and Dean his blood for the weapon they are creating. Edgar is left to the Alpha with a warning to keep his head away from the rest of his body.Shapeshifters
Shapeshifters are one of the most commonly appearing monsters in ''Supernatural''. While shapeshifter is a somewhat general term, members of the species have also been shown using it when discussing their species with others. In particular, shapeshifter David Lassiter called himself a shapeshifter to Ennis Ross in season 9's "Bloodlines" and proceeded to describe what it meant. Having a human appearance, they are able to shapeshift into whomever they like, living or dead and perfectly mimic their appearance. As seen on a few occasions, unlike most monsters, shapeshifters are not created through a person being turned but are in fact made through sexual reproduction with one shapeshifter parent and one regular human parent. Most shapeshifters shed their skin when changing appearances, but in Supernatural (season 9), season 9 a few were able to change form without shedding skin similar to the Alpha Shapeshifter, the very first shapeshifter. They are vulnerable to silver which burns them on contact and kills them when they are stabbed or shot through the heart with it. On camera, their eyes give off a glow referred to as a retinal flare which helps to identify them. Unlike many monsters, shapeshifters are not hunger-based and instead retain human impulses and desires which they use their powers to act upon. As a result, shapeshifters that are evil consciously choose to be rather than because of some innate impulse. On a few occasions, a shapeshifter has turned out to commit a murder or murders originally attributed to ghosts due to their ability to mimic the dead making it seem like the ghosts of the people they impersonate have come back for revenge. While some shapeshifters simply cycle through different forms and never seem to settle on one particular look, others have been shown to have a preferred appearance that they use as their base form for when they are not impersonating someone. It is never made clear if this chosen base form is simply a preference for the shapeshifter or is in fact what they originally looked like. Shapeshifters do not appear to be able to sense others of their kind as the Winchesters encountered a shapeshifter in season 13 that could not tell that her ex-boyfriend, another shapeshifter, was impersonating one of her patients. She also could not tell which it was once she knew that he was. A shapeshifter first appears in Supernatural (season 1), season 1's "Skin," Sam and Dean's first encounter with one over their entire hunting career. Having taken the form of Sam's college friend Zach, the shapeshifter had framed him for murdering his girlfriend and was targeting couples by taking on the form of one member while they were away and harming their partner. In the form of Dean, the shapeshifter attacked a SWAT team sent to apprehend it, effectively framing him for its crimes. In the end, Dean killed the shapeshifter with silver bullets to the heart as it tried to kill Sam. The Winchesters then used its body, still in Dean's form, to fake his death and exonerating Zach and everyone else the shapeshifter framed at the same time. The shapeshifter's crimes play an important role in the Winchesters' relationship with the law, particularly as Dean becomes wanted for them once he is revealed to still be alive. Another shapeshifter appears in Supernatural (season 2), season 2's "Nightshifter" where it has been taking on the form of bank employees to commit robberies. It comes to the Winchesters' attention when former security guard Ronald Resnick shows them security footage which features the shapeshifter's retinal flare. An attempt by the Winchesters to foil its next robbery is interrupted when Ronald takes over the bank, believing it to be a "mandroid" with laser eyes. The shapeshifter ends up killing and impersonating several people while the situation escalates with Ronald being killed by a SWAT sniper and the FBI getting involved. In the end, Dean manages to kill the shapeshifter with a silver letter opener and the Winchesters escape, but with the FBI now after them. In Supernatural (season 4), season 4's "Monster Movie," the Winchesters encounter an unnamed shapeshifter obsessed with old monster movies who takes on the form of Count Dracula (portrayed by Todd Stashwick), the Larry Talbot, Wolfman, and the Mummy (undead), Mummy complete with special effects, confusing them until Sam rips his ear off by accident and realizes its shapeshifter skin. The shapeshifter indicates that a life of rejection for his nature drove him insane and he found solace in old monster movies. Ultimately, the shapeshifter in the form of Dracula is killed with silver bullets by a waitress he had developed an infatuation with. Playing up the act until his rather dramatic death, the shapeshifter decides that "this is how the movie should end" and is satisfied with his end. In Supernatural (season 6), season 6's "Two and a Half Men," Dean, recently returned to hunting, works with Sam and the Campbell Family on the case of abducted babies which turn out to be shapeshifter babies with their father chasing after them. The Winchesters rescue one of the shapeshifter children whom they dub Bobby John and kill his father, but come under attack by the Alpha Shapeshifter, the first shapeshifter and father of the entire species. The Alpha Shapeshifter easily withstands everything that is thrown at him, including a silver knife to the heart and escapes with Bobby John. The Alpha Shapeshifter returns in "Caged Heat" where he has been captured by the demonVampires
Vampires are ''Supernatural's'' most common monsters, appearing in every season exceptWerewolves
Werewolf, Werewolves are one of the most recurring types of monsters on ''Supernatural''. In the earlier seasons, werewolves are generally just mentioned in regards to old hunts or wrongly suspected as a culprit, making only a single appearance in Supernatural (season 2), season 2. It is not until their second appearance in Supernatural (season 8), season 8 that werewolves emerge as a more common type of monster. Werewolves are people who can change their appearance to gain claws, fangs, fur and superhuman abilities. Unlike most common lore and portrayals, werewolves do not change completely into a wolf-like appearance or a bipedal wolf-like appearance in this show. In ''Supernatural'', werewolves can be created both through being bitten and through sexual reproduction. ''Supernatural'' features two types: * Regular werewolves are the type that the Winchesters hunted in their earlier years while purebloods are the type featured in the later seasons of the show. Regular werewolves have no control of themselves and run on pure instinct. They appear to change while sleeping and the person lacks any memory of their actions. Regular werewolves are bound to the full moon for their change. * Pureblood werewolves, which are from generations closer to the Alpha Werewolf, the first werewolf, can control the change which can happen at any time. Unlike regular werewolves, purebloods remember what has happened when they have transformed and if they choose, can control themselves rather than running on instinct alone. They can control their cravings and survive by feasting on animal hearts rather than human hearts if they so choose. Werewolves of both types can be killed by silver to the heart and it is generally believed that there is no cure for lycanthropy. John Winchester believed that killing the sire werewolf would cure anyone they turned, but this turned out to be false. Other hunters, including Bobby Singer, were aware of this and believed there to be no cure. In season 12, a group known as the British Men of Letters developed an experimental cure using the live blood of the sire werewolf which member Mick Davies called plasma therapy. It has to be administered during the early stages of lycanthropy and the werewolf cannot have killed anyone. Also, the sire werewolf has to be alive when the blood is drawn, complicating matters even further. Prior to the episode, the cure had only ever worked on rodents and even then only a single test subject out of ten. Their one-human test subject died in agony, causing the organization to abandon work on the cure. During the episode "Ladies Drink Free," Claire Novak becomes the first ever cured werewolf and while the cure works, it is excruciatingly painful for her and appears to work over a protracted period of time. In Supernatural (season 2), season 2's "Heart," the Winchesters hunt a werewolf in San Francisco and discover that Sam's new love interest Madison (portrayed by Emmanuelle Vaugier) is a werewolf. The Winchesters determine that Madison was bitten by another werewolf who has been targeting prostitutes a month before and set out to try to save her. Following a theory in their father's journal, Dean kills the sire werewolf, Madison's neighbor Glen, in hopes of severing the bloodline to cure her. However, while sleeping with Sam that night, Madison transforms and escapes. With all other hunters stating that there is no cure, includingWitches
Witchcraft, Witches are magic users appearing throughout ''Supernatural''. According to witch Rowena MacLeod, the Grand Coven classifies witches into three categories: The Naturals, the Borrowers and the Students. The Naturals are witches born with natural power and are rare, Borrowers are witches who gain their powers through demon deals while the Students are witches who learn either on their own or are taught by other witches, but lack innate power and do not get it from a demon. Owing to the nature of the source of their powers, Borrowers are condemned to Hell as they have sold their souls for power. On ''Supernatural'', witches mainly act through hex bags, a small cloth bag full of ingredients that acts as a medium for their spells. As a result, destroying the hex bag is usually enough to break a spell. Witches also often carry spell books known as grimoires. Examples are the ''Book of the Damned'' and the ''Black Grimoire'' which play major roles in the later seasons of the show. As they are human, witches can die with the weaker witches being able to be killed through simple mortal injuries though stronger witches tend to be invulnerable to normal methods of harm. In season 11's "Love Hurts," Dean notes that being stabbed with a knife would only slow down a powerful witch rather than kill her. On several other occasions, powerful witches have scoffed at the idea of bullets harming them. In the earlier seasons, witches are more often than not killed by demons they have been dealing with than the Winchesters themselves. In Supernatural (season 8), season 8's "Man's Best Friend With Benefits," the Winchesters succeed in using a witch-killing spell learned fromWraiths
Wraiths are a series of monsters appearing in ''Supernatural'' that feed on brain fluids through a bone skewer that emerges on their wrist and is stabbed into the victim's head. Wraiths commonly target humans in mental hospitals, because no one will believe them if they say a monster is after them. Through their touch, they can dose their victims with high levels of dopamine and cause them to hallucinate which makes the victim even more delicious to the wraith in question. Though they appear human outwardly, in mirrors their true distorted appearance is visible. Wraiths are highly vulnerable to silver, which burns them badly. Unlike most monsters that are vulnerable to silver, they do not appear to need to be stabbed in the heart with silver to be killed by it. In season 5's "Sam, Interrupted," the Winchesters are contacted by hunter Martin Creaser who is convinced that a monster is preying on patients in a mental hospital where Martin is institutionalized, framing the deaths as suicides. Martin is able to determine that they are dealing with a wraith whom the Winchesters unknowingly fall victim to, beginning to hallucinate due to the wraith's poison. Owing to their hallucinations, Sam assaults a doctor he believes to be the wraith with a silver-plated letter opener and nearly kills the man before Martin stops him after noticing the man's lack of reaction to being cut by the letter opener. Dean eventually discovers that the true wraith is the nurse who admitted them to the mental hospital, having taken the chance to infect them at the time. After Dean and Martin stop her from killing her next victim, the wraith goes after a restrained Sam and explains that psychiatric patients are more delectable to her. As the wraith prepares to kill Sam, Dean bursts in and manages to kill the wraith with a silver-plated letter opener to the heart. The wraith's death ends her effect on the Winchesters who quickly make their escape. In Supernatural (season 6), season 6's "Mommy Dearest," wraith traits, particularly their bone skewer, are amongst the monster traits incorporated by Eve into her newest creation that Dean dubs Jefferson Starships. In season 9's "Bloodlines," a wraith named Marv acts as a bodyguard to shapeshifter Sal Lassiter. When Ennis Ross gets angry when Sal is served first at an upscale restaurant, Marv steps in, but is stopped by Sal while Ennis notices Marv's distorted reflection in a mirror. During the attack on the VIP club by an insane hunter, the man kills Marv by slashing open his throat and chest with handmade silver claws. Ennis later tells the Winchesters about what he witnessed with Marv's face and Sam identifies him as a wraith and explains how mirrors and cameras can sometimes reveal a monster. In season 12's "Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell," a wraith is amongst the monsters Dean kills with a wire-wrapped baseball bat while on a hunt assigned in secret by British Men of Letters operative Mick Davies. In season 13's "Patience," the Winchesters are called by psychic Missouri Moseley after a monster starts targeting psychics. The case is investigated by Dean and Jody Mills who determine with Missouri's help that the culprit is a wraith. The wraith turns out to have gotten a taste for psychics after feeding on one in a mental hospital. After killing Missouri, the wraith targets her psychic granddaughter Patience Turner who manages to escape. The wraith later captures Patience who is located by Dean and Jody with the help of Patience's father James. As the group arrives, Patience experiences a premonition of the wraith killing them one by one and manages to warn each in time to prevent their deaths. After a struggle, Dean manages to kill the wraith by stabbing it in the side with Jody's silver knife.Types of demons
Demons are corrupted human souls that have endured many years of torture in Hell. Demons are malevolent beings, returning to Earth to commit chaos and violence. Many commit chaos at their own accord, doing so because they find it fun. Some demons manipulate humans into causing chaos and events that will get their souls sent to Hell upon death.White-eyed Demons
The top-tier demons are the white-eyed demons, and as the commanders-in-chief of the demonic host, submit only to Lucifer himself. They are supposedly the first original demons: Lilith is known to be the oldest and as stated by the showrunners, Alastair is the second-oldest demon in the show's existence. Lilith was able to shoot burning beams of light while Alastair could fight and defeat an angel. Alastair proves highly immune to Ruby's knife as he was unaffected if he's carves and twisted through the guts and was even immune to pure angel-smiting. Lilith on the other hand was hinted to be immune to holy water and proved highly resistant to Sam's psychic powers. The only thing that can trap a white-eyed demon is an old Enochian devil's trap. The only known white-eyed demons are Lilith and Alastair.Yellow-eyed Demons
The Princes of Hell are the yellow-eyed demons and the demon army generals. They are considered to be the first generation of demons created by Lucifer. Yellow-eyed demons have yellow irises and possibly black pupils as well as white skleras. The Yellow-Eyed demon Azazel was established to be impervious to holy water. However, a devil's trap constructed of iron rails at the corners of which churches were stationed successfully trapped him. Azazel was killed by the colt in "All Hell Breaks Loose". Until season 12, Azazel was the only known demon with Yellow Eyes. Ramiel was unaffected by a demon-killing knife, an angel blade, devil's-trap bullets since he was naturally immune to devil's traps. Ramiel was killed by The Lance of Michael. Dagon had the power to kill and destroy angels. The fourth Prince of Hell, Asmodeus was the weakest of Lucifer's creations and was hinted to be the youngest of the yellow-eyed demons. Through the grace of the archangel Gabriel, Asmodeus became the strongest of the yellow-eyed demons. However, the archangel Gabriel was able to effortlessly destroy him. After the death of Asmodeus, the Princes of Hell were extinguished.Red-eyed Demons
Red-eyed demons are known as crossroads demons. These demons make deals. It is not known whether black-eyed demons or red-eyed demons are more powerful. However, Hell's Hierarchy of demons gives the red-eyed demons a higher authority through their occupation to make deals with souls. Humans summon red-eyed demons at a crossroads to make a deal. Red-eyed demons seal their deal with a kiss. The person making the deal will benefit from the deal they made. Ten years after the deal, hellhounds kill the person who made the deal and their souls fall to Hell. Of the red-eyed demons, Crowley is the most powerful. Crowley became the King of Hell after the deaths of Lilith, Alastair and Azazel.Black-eyed Demons
The most common and weakest of their species are the black-eyed demons. These demons serve as soldiers, thugs, henchmen and minions. The black-eyed demons are often portrayed as mindless drones. Their powers and abilities include flying via smoke form, superhuman strength, superhuman stamina, invulnerability, immortality, telekinesis, and possession. Their weaknesses are exorcism, holy water, iron, rock salt, devil's traps, hallowed ground, holy fire, palo santos, Ruby's knife, the first blade, deaths scythe, angel blades, lance of michael, and the Colt. Cain trained the first fallen and the first born demons, forming an elite army known as the Knights of Hell. The Knights of Hell are resistant to the ancient demon-killing knife of the Kurds and holy water, and can only be killed by the First Blade. The Knights were mostly wiped out by Cain in 1863 with the last two Knights, Abaddon and Cain, eventually being killed by Dean Winchester.Demon Mutations
Demons mutations are very special demons, Samhain being the most special of said demon mutations. They're terrifyingly special, and they rank separately in the hierarchy of Hell, acting under Samhain, the Lord of the Dead, according to the writers. They don't have subordinates, unlike other demons, whose are black-eyed demons. Being special, they are not vulnerable to demon weaknesses. At least one of there was even capable of summoning ghosts and other undead, and said to be able to summon monsters. Demon mutations do not have to possess humans and can even materialize in the shape of a young girl to attract people nearby to kill them. So far, the only known demons of this type are Samhain, the Seven Deadly Sins, and Acheri, as well as the Croatoan Virus.Hell's Hierarchy of Demons
* White-eyed Demons - Second-in-command to Lucifer himself, since they are the Hell's demon chiefs of staff and the white-eyed demons serve him as representatives and enforcers. ** Lilith is known to be the first demon ever created (by Lucifer himself) and the Queen of the Crossroads. Lilith was trapped in Hell until 2007 when she was freed when the Devil's Gate was opened. She proceeds to break the seals to Lucifer's Cage until only one remains. Sam killed Lilith using the powers he gained from drinking demon blood. However, it turned out to be a trick, as Lilith's death was the final seal to opening Lucifer's Cage. This allows Lucifer to escape and set about beginning the Apocalypse. ** Alastair is hinted to be the second demon ever created, and serves as Hell's master torturer. Alastair is said to be ruthless when torturing souls, being so ruthless even the demons fear him. He works alongside Lilith in breaking the seals to Lucifer's Cage. He was killed by Sam who used his powers from drinking blood to smite Alastair. * Whitish-eyed Demons - The only so far known whitish-eyed demon is Samhain. He is the Lord of the Dead. Samhain walks the Earth every 600 years. His rising is one of the 66 seals to Lucifer's Cage. He was risen in 2008 and, therefore, broke a seal to the Cage. He was exorcised back to Hell by Sam using his powers. * Yellow-eyed Demons - The Princes of Hell are the demon army generals and they are said to be the next rightful rulers of Hell. As stated in the episode ''Stuck in the Middle (With You)'', they are said to be the oldest of the old demons and turned by Lucifer himelf. For much of the series, Azazel was the only known demon of this type, while all other demons were depicted as having black or red eyes; until Azazel's proper name was known, characters referred to him simply as "the Yellow-Eyed Demon." * Red-eyed Demons - The crossroads demons are the demon deal-makers. They make deals to buy a human soul in exchange for granting wishes, a standard deal that typically lasts for ten years. After the deal period has expired, this person is killed by a hellhound and his soul will go to hell unless the person can find a way to make a second bargain with the demon. To make a second bargain, however, the person must offer something more valuable than their soul. * Black-eyed Demons - The most common demons are the soldiers, thugs, henchmen, minions and the masses. The black-eyed demons could be trained by powerful demons like Alastair to become powerful black-eyed demons, like Meg.Other creatures
