The Winchesters

Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles)

"I got a GED and a give-em-hell attitude."

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Adaptation Dye Job: He has black hair in Supernatural: The Animation and very light blond hair in the prequel comics.
The Alcoholic: By Season 7, he's about two steps away from becoming one, if he isn't already.
Anti-Hero
Back from the Dead: Repeatedly. To the point that it's almost a Running Gag.
Badass
- Badass Normal
- Like a Badass Out of Hell: After Season 3.
- Pop-Cultured Badass
Better Than Sex: The burgers they serve at his favorite St. Louis diner. Pity that Dean's Persona Non Grata.
Big Brother Instinct: Yeah, just try to hurt Sam and let see how well it goes for you.
Big Eater
The Big Guy: Subverted—Dean is the shorter of the duo, but is also the bruiser of the two.
- Little Big Brother
Blessed with Suck: Dean is totally immune to the hunger-inducing powers of Famine, which seems pretty cool. Except that Famine points out it's due to the fact that Dean is so dead inside that no form of self-indulgence would fill the void.
Break the Cutie: Repeatedly. Up to Eleven. Every single time things start to work out for him, he gets broken. And this has been going on for a loooooong time. In fact, an alternate title for this show could be "How to Break Dean Winchester" and you couldn't fault it, particularly from Season 2 onwards.
- Has now become a Trauma Conga Line.
Broken Hero
Butt Monkey
Casanova
Catch Phrase: "Son of a bitch!" Lampshaded in Season 5.
The Chew Toy
The Chosen One: For the Archangel Michael.
- Until Michael takes Adam as his vessel.
Deadpan Snarker
Deal with the Devil: His deal with the crossroads demon at the end of Season 2 to save Sam.
Death Seeker
Deus Angst Machina: The stunning amount of bad things that happen to Dean are starting to amount to this. The poor guy hasn't caught a break since Season 3.
Driven to Suicide
Extreme Doormat: A big one when it comes to his family.
Friend to All Children: Kids (human ones, anyway) are a pretty big soft spot.
Friendship Moment: Most of his scenes with Castiel.
Genre Savvy
Good Is Not Nice
Hates Being Touched
Heroic Self-Deprecation: Has real issues with self-worth and frequently takes this to suicidal lengths.
Human Mom, Nonhuman Dad: Dean is part of an inverted example in "The Slice Girls". Dean sleeps with an Amazon, she has his daughter in a few days and the daughter grows into teenage years quickly. She then tries to kill Dean, who hesitates to fight back, but Sam shoots her dead and saves Dean.
It's All My Fault: If anything can be slightly linked to him in any way, expect him to shoulder the burden and expect that burden to break him. Just see how the whole back-from-Hell thing worked out for him in Season 4.
Jerkass
- Ben calls him out on this in "Mannequin 3: The Reckoning."
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold
Knight Templar Big Brother
Loveable Rogue
Love Martyr
Messianic Archetype
Morality Chain: In later seasons for Sam AND Castiel.
- He fails Castiel spectacularly and jumps off the slippery slope when it comes to monsters, since Sam has his own problems and Bobby is busy.
Mr. Vice Guy
Nay Theist
Nietzsche Wannabe: Sometimes.
The Nicknamer
Obfuscating Stupidity: He built an EMF out of a walkman, but has a reputation for being not-so-smart.
Perma-Stubble
The Pornomancer
Pretty Boy: Although he'd rather be thought of as a Hunk.
Properly Paranoid: Of Ruby in Seasons 3 and 4. Turns out he was right.
Really Gets Around: Crosses into Ethical Slut territory. Frequently.
Sad Clown
Screw Destiny: His motto.
- His mission too in Season 5, when he, Sam and Cas nickname themselves "Team Free Will."
Sibling Yin-Yang: With Sam.
Single Tear: Has a slight tendency to cry like this each time Life kicks him in the nuts, which happens a lot. Ironic, given that he's the one who demands "No chick-flick moments" in the pilot.
Stepford Smiler
Survivor Guilt
They Killed Kenny: Especially in "Mystery Spot." Oh, ye gods, "Mystery Spot"!
Trademark Favorite Food: Dean loves pie.
Tragic Hero
Unwitting Pawn

Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki)

"You know me. You know why. I'm not leaving my brother alone out there."

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Anti-Anti-Christ
Anti-Hero
Apocalypse Maiden
The Atoner: In Season 5 (after the whole freeing-Lucifer-from-Hell business) and in Season 6 (after getting his soul back).
Back from the Dead
Badass
- Badass Abnormal: After drinking tons of demon blood and again after he loses his soul.

(to Castiel) "I'll find a way to kill you. And I don't sleep."

- Badass Bookworm
- Badass Normal: Before and after getting addicted to demon blood.
- Like a Badass Out of Hell
Beware the Nice Ones
The Big Guy: At 6'4", he's the tallest of the cast.
- Big Little Brother
Blessed with Suck: His premonitions or the fact that he's Lucifer's true vessel? Take your pick.
Break the Cutie
Broken Hero
Came Back Wrong
- YED taunted Dean with this possibility in the Season 2 finale.
- More than implied in Season 6. Confirmed in "Family Matters" (no, not the sitcom), when Castiel examines him and discovers that Sam no longer has a soul. He gets better (somewhat) in "Like a Virgin," only for it to get reversed by Castiel in the Season 6 finale.
Cartwright Curse: "Have you forgotten the average lifespan of your hook-ups?" So...
Celibate Hero: But not in Season 4 and Season 6.
The Chosen One: Though he's this for Lucifer.
Corrupt the Cutie
Fatal Attractor: His love interests have included a kitsune, a werewolf, and a demon, and those are just the ones confirmed to be supernatural. Dean uses this trope to deduce that the girl Sam is sexing up is the siren making people kill their loved ones in "Sex and Violence." Suprisingly, he's wrong.
Functional Addict: Demon blood. And detox is not fun.
Genius Bruiser: He was a straight-A student, a Mathlete, attended Stanford University on a full scholarship before the show started, and is often involved in the research part of hunting. This has never stopped him from kicking demon ass repeatedly.
Horror Hunger
I Just Want to Be Normal: Though by early Season 2, he drops this attitude and decides to devote his life to hunting in the wake of John's death.
Knight Templar Little Brother
Living Emotional Crutch: To Dean.
Loveable Rogue
Morality Chain: For Dean.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In his mission to kill Lilith for vengeance in Dean's death and trip to Hell, as well as to stop her from freeing Lucifer, he pretty much turns into a monster himself and ends up unwittingly breaking the final seal binding Lucifer to Hell by killing her.
Not Himself: In the first half of Season 6, due to no longer having a soul.
Psychic Powers
- - Only in early seasons. He has none at the moment.
- Mind Over Matter
- Precognition
- By Season 4, he's developed more control and skill over his abilities, to the point that he can exorcise, and later kill, demons with his mind.
Puppy Dog Eyes
Revenge Before Reason
Screw Destiny: Sam may have done some evil things (by accident), but that doesn't mean he wants to be the vessel for the goddamn Devil himself.
- That is, until he decides to say "Yes" to Lucifer, but only so he can re-take control long enough to jump into Lucifer's cage.
The Scully
Sibling Yin-Yang: With Dean.
The Soulless: In the first half of Season 6.
Sugar and Ice Personality: In later seasons.
Took a Level in Jerkass: In Season 4 and Season 6. Oh so very much in Season 6. (But only in the first half of S6, and that's because he was The Soulless at the time.)
Unwitting Pawn
White Sheep
Why Did It Have To Be Clowns?

John Winchester (Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Matthew Cohen)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence
Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other: He doesn't show the depths of his affection for his sons too much, but when he does, it tends to be both sweet and saddening.
Badass
- Badass Normal
- Like a Badass Out of Hell
Dead Ex Machina: In "All Hell Breaks Loose: Part Two." Subverted in "Long-Distance Call" - it was a monster pretending to be him.
Deal with the Devil: He makes one with Azazel in the Season 2 premiere to save Dean.
Disappeared Dad: Often left his children alone to go hunt, so Dean had to take on an almost parental role and help raise Sam. In fact, his absence actually kicks off the plot, as it's why Dean goes seeking Sam out at Stanford. Not to mention Adam, who, John rarely saw, although in this case it's more forgivable, since John didn't know he existed until Adam was twelve.
Heroic Sacrifice: Sacrifices his life in exchange for Dean's. Dean, however, is not grateful.
Hot Dad
Jerkass
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold
Papa Wolf: Uses one of his precious Colt's bullets to protect his sons, gives up his chance of revenge by giving Azazel the Colt and going to Hell in order to save Dean, and eventually crawls out of Hell to tear Azazel from his meatsuit when the demon was taunting and about to kill Dean. Say what you like about the guy, but he does love his kids.
Parents as People
Redemption Equals Death
Used to Be a Sweet Kid: John's not a villain, but it's still depressing to see how happy and innocent he was in the teaser of the pilot before Mary died and in the episodes where his sons travel into the past.
"Well Done, Son" Guy: With Dean, although lately Dean has realized how flawed John was and loses a lot of his hero-worship towards him. He also made Sam and Adam feel as if they had this relationship with him.

Mary Winchester (Samantha Smith, Amy Gumenick)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Action Girl: Well, she was a hunter when she was younger...
Action Girlfriend: While John was still a sweet, kind and innocent person, his girlfriend was busy kicking monster ass.
Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence
Badass
Dead Ex Machina: Saves her sons from the poltergeist in "Home."
Deal with the Devil: She was manipulated into making one with Azazel to save John, as revealed in "In the Beginning."
Death by Origin Story
Death Glare: When a time-traveling Dean and Sam interrupt former-hunter Mary's normal lifestyle, she gives them quite a deadly glare.
Hot Chick with a Dagger: Watch how she uses the angel sword/dagger in her fight against Anna in "The Song Remains the Same." She definitely knows how to handle weapons.
- Funnily enough, in that moment she actually looked eerily like how Sam wields pointy objects. Lamarck Was Right?
Hot Mom: Dean himself notes this in "In the Beginning."

"Sammy, wherever you are, Mom is a babe. I'm going to Hell. Again."

I Just Want to Be Normal
The Lost Lenore: To John.
Mama Bear: "You get out of my house. And let go of my son."
Missing Mom
Posthumous Character
Sacrificial Lion
Violently Protective Wife: She was not happy when Anna tried to kill John (along with Mary herself) to erase her sons' existence. Viewers got to see a nice fight between Anna and an angel-blade-wielding Mary.
Woman in White

Adam Milligan (Jake Abel)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Back from the Dead: Well, he IS a Winchester. It's what they do.
Blue Eyes
Chekhov's Gunman
Dead All Along: In "Jump the Shark," the "Adam" the Winchesters meet is a Ghoul using his form. How did he get into that form? By eating the real Adam.
Deadpan Snarker:

Sam: You may not believe it, but Dad *was* trying to protect you.
Adam: Well, I guess the monster that ate me didn't get that memo.

Deus Angst Machina: For someone who appeared in only three episodes, Adam has had a ridiculous amount of horrific things happen to him in each one. He's eaten alive by Ghouls, pulled out of Heaven, brought back from the dead, forced to claw his way out of his own grave, told (falsely) that he is The Chosen One, kidnapped, held hostage against Dean, tortured, rescued (only NOT), possessed by an archangel, incinerated, disintegrated, regenerated and, finally, dragged into the worst possible pit of Hell alongside Lucifer and Michael. And is still there. Note that Adam was an Ordinary College Student prior to this and that the only reason any of it happened to him is because he is a...
- Long-Lost Relative: To Sam and Dean.
Fate Worse Than Death: Ultimately Adam ends up locked in Hell with Satan and Satan's big brother, with no hope of escape, seeing as how any of the characters who could free him either don't care about him or are dead.
Refused by the Call
Uncanny Family Resemblance
The Unchosen One: Unintentionally. By saying "Yes" to Michael and being the vessel in Dean's place, he effectively proves that Michael's speech to Dean in "The Song Remains the Same" about how Destiny cannot be screwed was basically Michael talking out of his ass.
The Unfavorite: So Dean spends the first half of Season 6 trying to get Sam's soul back, because it's left in the cage with Michael and Lucifer, after Castiel removed Sam's mind and body almost immediately. When Dean first makes his deal with Death to get Sam's soul back, he tries to get Adam out as well. Death, however, refuses and forces Dean to choose between the two; Dean chooses Sam.

Hunters

Bobby Singer (Jim Beaver)

"Idjits."

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Abusive Parents: His father was a real ass.
Back from the Dead: Courtesy of a "new-and-improved" Castiel in "Swan Song."
- Then he gets shot by Dick Roman, only to come back as a ghost.
- Bobby has passed on now.
Badass
- Badass Bookworm: Sam is great at research, but Bobby can run circles around anyone when it comes to finding answers. Helps that over the years he's amassed a very impressive collection of books on the supernatural to stock in his library.
- Badass Beard
- Badass Normal
- Handicapped Badass: In Season 5.
Bi the Way: He did use tongue with Crowley.
- Though we're told this by Crowley, who may have just been needling him.
- "Did you know my first girlfriend turned out to be a--"
Calling the Old Man Out: Bobby gets one against the memory of his dead father in "Death's Door."
Catch Phrase: "Idjits."
- Famous Last Words
The Confidant
Cool Old Guy
Crazy Prepared: He slips all his guests holy water in case they're demons, and he made and hid copies of all his irreplaceable books, just in case they were ever destroyed. Bobby lampshades this in "Let It Bleed" by calling himself "a paranoid bastard."
- Taken to an insane degree when Bobby temporarily traps a reaper in "Death's Door" with ingredients found in his memories.
A Day in the Limelight: "Weekend at Bobby's"
Dead Little Sister: His wife.
Deadpan Snarker
Deal with the Devil: Makes one with Crowley in late Season 5. He gets out of it in Season 6.
A Death in the Limelight: "Death's Door"
Disabled Snarker: In Season 5.
Dying Moment of Awesome: Bobby's death in "Death's Door" is more like a Dying Episode of Awesome.
Go Into the Light: When he finally accepts his death in "Survival of the Fittest".
Grumpy Old Man
Honorary Uncle: In a flashback in "A Very Supernatural Christmas," younger Sam in said flashback calls him "Uncle Bobby."
Kill the Ones You Love: Got into hunting when he killed his wife after she became possessed.
Killed Off for Real: Mid-season seven...until he came back as a ghost. In the Season 7 finale, he passes on though.
My God, What Have I Done?: His reaction upon realizing he's become a vengeful spirit.
Mister Exposition: A function Bobby serves right up to the bitter end in "Death's Door".
Nice Hat
The Obi-Wan
Only Sane Man: He's the only character who can take a step back and see the bigger picture. Up to a certain point anyway; he starts to lose his perspective towards the end of Season 4.
Parental Substitute: Bobby makes it very clear, to him, Sam and Dean are his boys.
The Reliable One: As close as you can get to it in this show, anyway.
Revolvers Are Just Better: His handgun of choice is a Colt Peacemaker. He may just have a fondness for "Cowboy" guns, as he also uses a lever-action rifle.
Self-Made Orphan: He shot and killed his father when he was a kid and buried the body by the shed, in order to protect his mom from getting further abused.
Spirit Advisor: Complete with Yoda reference.
Team Dad

Ellen Harvelle (Samantha Ferris)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Action Mom
Back for the Dead
Bad Guy Bar: Was the boss of the Roadhouse until it was destroyed in the Season 2 finale. Granted, it was a place for hunters to meet, but not all of them are really good.
Badass
Cool Old Lady: She's not that old, but she is cool.
Distaff Counterpart: To John and Bobby, maybe. However, she's significantly warmer and well-adjusted than they are.
Dying Moment of Awesome
Facing the Bullets One-Liner: "You can go straight to Hell, you bitch!"
Heroic Sacrifice
Hot Mom
Mama Bear: The losses she has gone through in her life has made her protective of Jo as well as Sam and Dean. Although at first she showed this by restricting her daughter from hunting, period, when Jo went out to become a hunter she decided that becoming her partner was the best way to keep her safe.
My Beloved Smother: In Jo's opinion, at least, as "No Exit" proved.
Put on a Bus: For Seasons 3 and 4. Apparently, she was supposed to come back for the third season but negotiations fell through with her actress.
Sacrificial Lion
Senseless Sacrifice
Taking You with Me: Kills herself in order to stop hellhounds from pursuing Sam and Dean, and to avenge Jo.
Team Mom

Jo Harvelle (Alona Tal)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Action Girl
Back for the Dead
Deadpan Snarker
Disappeared Dad: Bill Harvelle, who got killed on a hunt with John Winchester, who may or may not have gotten him killed. When Jo learns about the spoiled part, it put a strain on her relationship with the Winchesters.
Damsel in Distress: In "No Exit" and "Born Under a Bad Sign".
Dying Moment of Awesome
Faux Action Girl: In Season 2. She became better in Season 5.
Go Out with a Smile
Knife Nut: Carries her dad's knife with her because she wants to feel close to him, and says she was known as the "freak with the knife collection" at school.
Like Brother and Sister: YMMV, but this it how her interactions with the Winchesters came off to some people, with Jo in the role of a mouthy little sister.
Put on a Bus: For Seasons 3 and 4 (because of the fans' hugely negative backlash towards her character).
Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Apparently redeemed herself in the eyes of many a fan in Season 5.
Sacrificial Lion
Senseless Sacrifice
Tomboyish Name
Took a Level in Badass: In Season 5.
Unrequited Love Switcheroo: With Dean. Okay, not really. She still has feelings for him, but turns him down when he makes advances on her in "Abandon All Hope..." because she has more self-respect than to give in.

Gordon Walker (Sterling K. Brown)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Badass
Cassandra Truth: Not quite how he expected, but alright.
Dead Little Sister: Has a literal example. Although he's the one who actually killed her, once she got vamped.
Fantastic Racism: If it isn't human, it has to die.
Foil: First to Dean and John, later to Sam.
The Fundamentalist: Humans are good. Monsters are bad. That's all there is to it.
He Who Fights Monsters
Jerkass Has a Point: Let's be honest--if he had killed Sam a few seasons earlier, hundreds, maybe thousands, of people would still be alive...
- Assuming, of course, that Sam stayed dead for a change.
Jumping Off the Slippery Slope
Karmic Death
Karmic Transformation
Not So Different: Well, aside from Lenore, Castiel, Bobby John, Lucky, Eleanor and whatever rare sympathetic monsters they find, Dean and Sam aren't much better than Gordon at treating or thinking supernatural creatures as human-like beings who have their good and bad sides. Dean takes it Up to Eleven in Season 7 by killing a Mommy Monster who was killing again to heal her sick child under the pretext that "she would just kill again" (basically the same excuse Gordon gave to try and kill Lenore), right in front of the child and promising to kill said child if he killed too. Oh, and Sam was the same in the previous season, but only because he was soulless.
Off with His Head: His favorite method of killing people. Also how Sam deals with him.
Our Vampires Are Different
Scary Black Man
Transhuman Treachery
Van Helsing Hate Crimes
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Genuinely believes he is the hero, and that Sam is The Antichrist.
- Funnily enough, technically speaking, he was kinda right.

Rufus Turner (Steven Williams)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

All a Part of the Job: Rufus gives this kind of speech to Dean, by way of pointing out that regardless of whether or not Dean gets out of his crossroads deal, his best hope is to end up like Rufus (i.e., bitter, secluded and alone, but alive rather than dead).
- He got killed off three seasons later, btw.
Ambiguously Jewish: He did say "I know what I want for Hanukkah" about Bobby's digger.
- In "And Then There Were None," at Rufus' funeral, Bobby confirmed he was Jewish, kosher aside.
Black Best Friend: To Bobby.
Cool Old Guy: "What? What am I, a heathen? I know what Craig is."
Drink Order: One bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue. He was also something of a general scotch connoisseur, but his favorite was Johnnie Walker Blue.
Informed Judaism
Killed Off for Real: In Season 6.
Magical Negro: Not in that he had powers beyond being a Badass (formerly) retired hunter, but in that he had a ridiculous amount of helpful connections who helped him to do everything from digging up Bela's dirty past to not only digging up intel on Crowley and his human life, but finding out that he had a son, what happened to said son, and where the artifact Bobby could use to summon said son's ghost was...and then successfully stealing it and hiding it from the police. Somewhat averted in that his motivations weren't really selfless as much as utilitarian.
- Justified on the connections and knowledge part: all of the older generation of hunters seem to be crazy prepared (see: Bobby) and extremely well connected (see: Ellen) simply by virtue of having been in the job for some years.
Noodle Incident: With Bobby.

Bobby: (on the phone) Suck dirt and die, Rufus. You call me again, I'll kill ya. (hangs up)
Dean: What's up with Rufus?
Bobby: He knows.

- In "And Then There Were None," Bobby says that he and Rufus used to be as close as Sam and Dean until something happened in Omaha. No real details are given, except that Rufus lost someone he cared about and swore to never forgive Bobby for it.
Police Brutality: At one point in "Weekend at Bobby's," Rufus is heard over Bobby's phone, shouting, "That is excessive force, officer! I know my rights!"
Twofer Token Minority

Samuel Campbell (Mitch Pileggi)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Anti-Villain: Type 2 in Season 6, he is working with Crowley, but only to get his daughter Back from the Dead.
Badass Grandpa
Back from the Dead
- Not anymore.
Bald of Awesome
- Bald of Evil: In Season 6.
Battle Couple: With Deanna.
Deadpan Snarker
Deal with the Devil: Turns out he made one with Crowley to bring Mary back. Nothing ever comes out of it, since Samuel dies (again) in "And Then There Were None."
Grand Theft Me: His possession by Azazel and the Khan worm in both of the episodes where he died.
Jerkass: Boy howdy.
Thicker Than Water: To Samuel, not so much. When he tries to pull this excuse on Sam and Dean, they tell him exactly how full of crap he is.
- To be fair, though, he does have a point. He met Dean once before he died (the first time), got possessed by Azazel, and forced to kill himself and his wife, all because of Dean's attempt to intervene and change the past. Samuel spent a year hunting with a soulless, amoral version of Sam whose cold-blooded actions apparently disturbed Samuel, if "Live Free or Twihard" and the flashbacks in "Unforgiven" are an indication. Even so, Samuel apparently did care about his grandsons since he did make attempts to help them in Season 6 as long as it didn't intefer with his deal with Crowley like when he gave Dean the cure for vampirism. When it came down to it, though, he loved and missed Mary, his daughter, more than he was willing to help Dean and Sam, grandsons he barely knew and were admittedly kind of dickish themselves at that point.

Christian Campbell (Corin Nemec)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Alliterative Name
Black Eyes of Evil
Demonic Possession: We never meet the real Christian Campbell, who has been possessed by a demon for a year when he is introduced.
Jerkass
Killed Off for Real
Long-Lost Relative
The Mole: For Crowley.
Torture Technician: Although, according to Meg, he isn't very good at it.

Gwen Campbell (Jessica Heafey)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Action Girl
Boom! Headshot!: She is killed by a possessed Dean in this manner.
Killed Off for Real
Locked Out of the Loop: Samuel may have forgotten to mention a few details to her...
Long-Lost Relative
Stay in the Kitchen: Is NOT pleased when told to stay behind and guard with Dean.
You Remind Me of X: Gwen believes she reminds Samuel of his daughter, Mary, which is why he tries to keep her out of the line of fire.

Mark Campbell (David Paetkau)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Killed Off for Real
Long-Lost Relative
Neck Snap: How the alpha shapeshifter kills him.
The Quiet One: Says less than ten words in both episodes he appears. Immediately lampshaded by Dean.

Garth Fitzgerald IV (DJ Qualls)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Adorkable
Can't Hold His Liquor: He got completely drunk after drinking one beer and thought this was a normal thing.
Cloudcuckoolander: "HI! I'M MR. FIZZLES! I'M YOUR FRIEND!"
What an Idiot!: Lampshaded by Bobby while he was on the other end of a phone call with him.

Bobby Better drop a dime to the FBI.

hangs up* *FBI Line rings*

Bobby Willis, FBI. (Beat) No, Garth, not me-the-FBI, the REAL FBI! How are you still alive?!

The Woobie:

Dean You don't suck.
Garth (completely sincere) Wow! That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me!

Angels

The Trickster / Gabriel (Richard Speight, Jr.)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Back for the Dead
Badass: Let's put it this way—he can bend realty, warp time, and is the only character in the entire series to make Lucifer doubt himself.
- Badass Boast: "They call me Gabriel." It's the way he says it, almost as if stating "you have no idea with who you are messing with." His cold and steely smile really helps the Badass factor.
- Took a Level in Badass
Berserk Button: Don't talk about his family.
Black Comedy: Makes his living on this trope.
Crazy Prepared: Kali took Gabriel's own Angel Blade and killed him with it! Oh wait, that's a fake.
A Death in the Limelight: "Hammer of the Gods"
Disproportionate Retribution: The crimes he commits in his first episode are typically on Asshole Victims. Problem is, it's hard to justify murdering a guy just for having an affair or testing on animals. In his second appearance, he hurls a man into a wormhole just for doubting they exist. Jerkass.
Great Gazoo: He comes off as this, albeit a very dark example. The Trickster's one of the funniest characters on the show, responsible for the Groundhog Day Loop and Trapped in TV Land incidents, so it's kind of easy to forget he started as a Monster of the Week who murdered and traumatized people in ironically amusing ways, mainly for shits and giggles.
Humans Are Flawed: His speech before Lucifer kills him could be the text written on that page.
- Rousseau Was Right: He commends us for being us and our ability to never give up, no matter the adversity we may face. Which is far more impressive in his eyes that anything the angels can come up with.
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice
- Repeatedly.
Jerkass: Definitely in his first and second episodes.
Jerkass Has a Point: Yes, the time loop was cruel; Sam and Dean constantly sacrificing themselves for the other is terrible. Sam did need to accept that he couldn't save Dean.
Karma Houdini: He's a cold-blooded murderer in his first two appearances and gets away twice. He then Heel Face Turns and all is forgiven before he's killed by Lucifer, making him one in the sense that, while he dies, he never receives any comeuppance for his previous behavior.
Karmic Trickster: How he likes to think of himself. He goes way too far, though.
Large Ham
Laughably Evil: If you like Dead Baby Comedy.
Me's a Crowd
Neutral No Longer: Gabriel spent untold millennia hiding from his family, and wants nothing to do with the imminent apocalypse (except when he tries to bully the Winchesters into accepting their roles and "getting it over with"). After a chewing-out from Dean, Gabriel does finally decide to stand up to his family by confronting Lucifer. Though he doesn't survive, he does strike a nice blow for Team Free Will.
Reality Warper
Redemption Equals Death
Sad Clown
Shapeshifter Default Form
Smug Snake: It's funny that he enjoys targeting the arrogant and the smug, because that's exactly what he is.
Stealth Mentor
Sweet Tooth
Trickster Archetype: Guess why...
Trickster Mentor: To Sam and Dean. To everyone else, he's just an ass.
Video Will: He leaves one for the Winchesters. In the form of a porno.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: He put Sam through near-endless trauma in his second episode because he was genuinely trying to teach him a lesson: Constantly sacrificing himself to save Dean is only going to make things worse for both.

Castiel (Misha Collins)

"I'm the one that gripped you tight and raised you from perdition."

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Adorkable
Angelic Beauty
Anti-Hero: Began as a Type III (his first appearance; if you're on the side of good, you need not fear him), but is now definitely a IV. At the end of "The Man Who Would Be King," it's implied he's about to tip straight into Type V.
- And in the Season 6 finale, he goes straight into Villain Protagonist territory.
  - And then in the Season 7 premiere, he realizes the error of his ways and pulls a Heel Face Turn, only to get taken over by the Leviathans.
Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence
Asexuality: He gets nervous at brothels (though this is arguably due more to him being in a "den of iniquity"), displays curiosity about human sexuality, and has even tried kissing, but for the most part, he's portrayed as asexual.
- However, his future self from a post-appocalyptic world seems to love orgies.
  - Technically that's not his "future self"—something quite obvious as of the end of Season 6--but either an alternate future self or just part of an illusion Zachariah came up with. Why Zachariah chose to have him adopt that personality to show Dean is still a mystery.
- In episode 7.21, "Reading Is Fundamental", he admits finding it boring to watch over humanity at times - the wars and sex got repetitive.
Ascended Extra
Asskicking Equals Authority: A subversion at first, as he seems to be fairly low-ranked despite how much ass he kicks. As the series goes on, he becomes less powerful and a traitor, then loses his angelic status entirely. BUT THEN, after standing up to both Michael and Lucifer, he gets revived by God (again), more powerful than ever. He then returns to Heaven as the "new sheriff in town," as Michael, Lucifer and Gabriel are all out of the picture, and eventually ends up having to deal with the remaining archangel, Raphael.
The Atoner: For his actions in Season 6 and going off the deep end as God after he regains his memories mid-way through Season 7.
Back from the Dead
Badass
- Badass Adorable
- Badass Baritone
- Badass Bookworm: Don't piss off the nerd angel.
- Badass in a Nice Suit: Though being an angel possesing a human body, his stance and body language is way off, preventing the trope from being used to full effect. See also Unkempt Beauty below.
- Badass Longcoat
- Little Miss Badass: When he's possessing Jimmy's daughter Claire in "The Rapture."
- Took a Level in Badass
  - Let's just say that whenever Castiel shows up, random acts of badassery are sure to follow.
Berserk Button: Don't mess with the Winchester brothers.
Big Bad Friend: Throughout Season 6 and more so in the finale.
Blue Eyes
Breakout Character
Broken Angel: As of "Dark Side of the Moon."
- Though he seems to have regained his faith in God after being resurrected a second time in "Swan Song."
  - Scratch that last point; he's become even more broken, as revealed in "The Man Who Would be King"--he's working with Crowley, spying on the Winchesters, losing his faith in God, and doesn't know what to do.
Brought Down to Normal: As of "Two Minutes to Midnight." But this gets reversed in the fifth season finale.
- This also happens to him in the Bad Future of "The End."
Chaste Hero: This trait was completely absent in his future self in "The End", however.
Cloudcuckoolander: Taking on Sam's pain has apparently caused his personality to change into this. For perspective, he will occasionally ask someone to "pull his finger" and tried to play a game of Sorry! while having a serious conversation with Dean.
The Comically Serious: "Assbutt?"
Corrupt the Cutie: No one in this show is going to pass up the chance to corrupt a virgin angel with a conscience. Just ask Dean, Meg, Ellen, Jo, Balthazar, Lucifer, etc.
- In Zachariah's Bad Future, he actually succumbs to hedonism, but then again, it's Zachariah.
A Day in the Limelight: In "The Man Who Would Be King."
Deadpan Snarker: He actually gets better at sarcasm the longer he spends time on Earth.
- He has also learned to be very subtle about it:

Castiel: Sam, Dean, I have to get back.
Dean: You're leaving?
Castiel: I'm in the middle of a civil war.
Dean: You better tear the attic up, find something to help Sam.
Castiel: Of course. Your problems always come first.

Deal with the Devil: He makes one with Crowley to find Purgatory and gain the souls there.
Demonic Possession: It isn't exactly stated whether Castiel himself got taken over from within by the Leviathans at the end of "Meet the New Boss" or whether they just hijacked control of his vessel, Jimmy Novak. Either way, Castiel clearly wasn't in control anymore, especially considering the change in voice from a deep monotone to one that sounds more like an insane Misha Collins.
Deus Exit Machina: Even as a low-ranked angel, he was way too powerful, forcing the writers to turn to this trope (usually using the angel-banishing sigil). This was a major reason his appearances were mostly cameos in Seasons 4 and 6.
Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: His line to Raphael in "Free to Be You and Me" as he and Dean are leaving the house where Raphael is trapped inside a ring of holy fire.

Raphael: Do not leave me here, Castiel. I will find you.
Castiel: Maybe one day. But today, you're my little bitch.

Disappeared Dad: Kind of worse when you realize his "dad" is God.
Does Not Understand Sarcasm: He seems to be getting the hang of it as of Season 6.

Castiel: (to Bobby) You're right. Pardon me for highlighting their crippling and dangerous empathetic response with (uses air quotes) "sarcasm."

Emotions vs. Stoicism
Face Heel Turn: Slowly happens throughout Season 6, and finally occurs fully in the season finale.
- Heel Face Turn: When he realizes how badly he's screwed up by messing with Purgatory, he agrees to return the souls.
  - And promptly dies.
    - It's technically Heel Face Revolving Door from his very first opinion to the last - season 4 already had him switching allegiance several times.
- As of "The Born-Again Identity", it looks like Cass is back to Face.
The Extremist Was Right: His plan to team up with Crowley to find Purgatory, then crack it open and absorb all of the souls inside in order to gain enough power to defeat Raphael. Well, it worked, but...
Fallen Angel: Resigned from Heaven.
- Though in the last episode of Season 5, someone (presumably God) granted him full angel status once again, and he became in charge of keeping Heaven whole.
  - In Season 6, it became worse. See Broken Angel above.
The Fatalist: All angels take this view; Castiel was the first to avert it.
Foe Yay: Most blatantly with Meg.
- Occasionally with Dean, when they argue.

Castiel: *glares*
Dean: Cas, last person that looked at me like that, I got laid.

- - And Crowley, who likes to hurl suggestive remarks at Castiel every chance he gets.
A God Am I: In the Season 6 finale, he absorbs all the souls of Purgatory and proceeds to declare himself the new God.
The Gods Must Be Lazy
Good Is Not Nice
Good Powers, Bad People: Once he starts working with Crowley, he seems to stop resurrecting people and start Mind Raping them.
Good Wings, Evil Wings
Have You Seen My God?
Heroic RROD: The stress of containing the souls of Purgatory (and the Leviathans) causes his vessel to start decaying and nearly kills him.
Hero of Another Story: In Season 6, after the Apocalypse was over, Castiel was in charge of trying to hold Heaven together and leading his own faction of angels against Raphael and his followers, who were still hell-bent on re-starting the Apocalypse while Hell was in disarray. Frankly, the depiction of such a war would've been beyond the writers and the special effects team, so it took place mostly off-screen.
Ho Yay: With Dean and Balthazar.
I Did What I Had to Do: As of Season 6, he's doing/done a lot of things he'd rather not do, but finds he has no choice, since he has to lead half of Heaven against the other half in a bid to prevent Raphael from re-starting the Apocalypse. He also kills another angel, despite saying he doesn't want to, and even pleads with the angel beforehand.
- He also takes this attitude in "My Heart Will Go On" when Fate calls him out on having Balthazar alter history in order to create thousands of new souls to back his side of the war.
- As of "The Man Who Would Be King," this has been taken to a whole new level.
Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: All throughout Season 6.
Knight Templar: What he's become in Season 6, in regards to the War in Heaven. To the point that he's working with Crowley, of all people.
Lack of Empathy / No Sympathy: Castiel may be one of the few angels with a sense of ethics and he might tend to be portrayed as a Woobie (especially in fandom), but the fact that he's an angel first and foremost means that he doesn't have the kind of empathy allowed to humans. This allows him to think little of killing children, wiping out entire towns, and murdering his own kin.

After Dean tells him that he and Sam have been murdered in "Dark Side of the Moon":
Castiel: (flatly) My condolences.

Limited Wardrobe: And how—Cas has had the same tie-and-trenchcoat ensemble since his debut in Season 4.
Literal-Minded
Mind Hive: At the end of Season 6 and the premiere of Season 7. Although he gives most of them back at the end, he still has some in him.
Mr. Fanservice
No Sense of Humor
No Sense of Personal Space
No Social Skills
Odd Friendship: With Dean. And possibly Bobby and Sam.
Only Sane Employee: In Season 6.

To another angel in "The Third Man":
Castiel: Why won't any of you listen!?

Parental Abandonment: The main reason for his fall to Earth in Season 5. God is still missing in Season 6, but Castiel continues to follow Him by leading on side of a civil war.
- Not anymore.
Perma-Stubble
Pretty Boy: Well, he's possessing one (seeing the real him would, y'know, burn your eyes of your skull).

Game show host: Mr Trickster does not like pretty-boy angels!

Quizzical Tilt
Rebel Leader: Seems to be his role in Heaven circa Season 6 against Raphael, and the main reason he's not been around too much.
Redemption Equals Death: Subverted. At the end of the Season 7 premiere, Castiel tries to fix everything he's screwed up as well as trying to make amends with the Winchesters before he dies. However, he's unable to stop the Leviathans and it later turns out that he survived the encounter.
Sealed Good in a Can: Since he had absorbed Sam's insanity, he was residing in an asylum, waiting to be brought out.
Semi-Divine: In Season 5, after rebelling against heaven to help the Winchesters save the world from the upcoming apocalypse, he steadily loses his divine power until he's basically human by the end of the season.
Slasher Smile: Oh boy. Happens twice in the premiere of Season 7, once before he starts a massacre, then again to show that, yes, Castiel is pretty much gone.
- Though it's implied in that first case -- and outright stated in the second -- that it was the Leviathans doing the smiling.
Someone Has to Die: A non-lethal version in which Castiel decides to make amends for busting Sam's wall by absorping his Hell memories into himself, restoring Sam's sanity and ending up in the nut house as a result. Well, you break it, you buy it...
The Spock
Spock Speak: Most of the time, but he starts acting more human as he gets more Character Development.
The Starscream: To Crowley in Season 6.
Stealth Hi Bye: Sometimes without Hi or Bye.
The Stoic
- Not So Stoic
Straight Man: He takes Bud Abbott's deadpan shtick to a whole new level because he usually has no clue what the joke is or even that there is one, which makes him come off just as hilarious as Dean. Highlighted by having a Bizarro future version of him be mucho mellow.

Dean: Are you...stoned?
Castiel: Generally, yeah.

Superpower Lottery: Let's see—Castiel has shown Super Strength, Nigh Invulnerability, Flight, teleportation, sonic voice, the ability to travel through time, Telepathy, telekinesis, dream-walking, immortality (can't be killed by anything but another angel), an eye-searing true form, Invisibility, and possibly other powers he hasn't displayed yet. However, these are implied to be standard to any angel.
- What makes him special, however, is his twice-used, God-sanctioned, escape-death-free card, for being obedient to God's true will.
Tin Man
Tragic Hero: Begins pretty much as soon as he shows up, and reaches completion in "The Man Who Would Be King," which intentionally presents him as such, even identifying the Fatal Flaw of Pride and showing nearly all of his slide into darkness.

Castiel: That's everything. I believe it's what you'd call a tragedy, from the human perspective.

Trenchcoat Brigade
Unkempt Beauty: The stubble, wind-blown hair, loose tie and hobo trenchcoat shouldn't be that attractive, but on Cas, it works, so much so that he's right up there with Dean as the most fetishized character in the fandom.
Utopia Justifies the Means: After becoming God, he slays Raphael's followers and starts going after sinners on Earth.
Villain Protagonist: By the end of Season 6.
- He comes to his senses in the Season 7 premiere.
We Have Reserves: Crosses over with Fridge Horror. In the Season 6 finale, Castiel backstabs Crowley and sends him away. When Crowley returns with Raphael in an Enemy Mine situation, he forces Castiel to leave, taking the Real!Blood with him. They discover too late that Castiel swapped the blood beforehand. However, this meant Castiel knew Crowley would return with a vengeance, and still put up his fellow angels as guards in the warehouse. He knowingly sacrificed his own men in his bid to become God. A far cry from when he tried to teach angels free will.
"Well Done, Son" Guy
Well-Intentioned Extremist: If you've read all the spoilers so far in his character sheet, you'll know why he's here.
Wham! Line: "I am an angel of the Lord."
- And, "I am your new God."
With Great Power Comes Great Insanity
What the Hell, Hero?: He's working with Crowley, lying and scheming behind the Winchesters' backs, ready to sacrifice human souls for his goal, and okay with changing history such that 50,000 people die horribly. At any rate, this is definitely what Sam and Dean are thinking.
- At the end of Season 6, he does a complete Face Heel Turn and declares himself the new God.
  - And at Season 7, he completes a Heel Face Turn.
Wolverine Publicity: Especially in Season 6, where he's given his own solo TV bumper and publicity stills alongside the Winchester brothers, despite having less than 50 minutes of screentime throughout the entirety of the season.
Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds
The Worf Effect
You Are in Command Now: After the averted Apocalypse and the deaths/imprisonments of the archangels, Castiel finds himself going from a foot soldier (though one in charge of other angels like Uriel) to the acting "sheriff of Heaven", though he was challenged by Raphael, the only remaining archangel.

Uriel (Robert Wisdom, Matt Ward)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Badass in a Nice Suit
Bald of Evil
Cain and Abel: With Castiel. Uriel even tried to kill him after Cass refused to join him in serving Lucifer.
Face Heel Turn
Fantastic Racism: Derisively refers to humans as "mud monkeys" and "plumbing on two legs."
Good Is Not Nice
Have You Seen My God?
Humans Are the Real Monsters
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: By Anna in "On the Head of a Pin."
Jerkass
Light Is Not Good
Literal-Minded
The Nth Doctor
Scary Black Man: This seems to be his default vessel choice, as seen in "The Song Remains the Same."
- Though it makes sense, since being the vessel for a specific angel runs in certain bloodlines. The vessel in "The Song Remains the Same" was probably the present-time vessel's father or uncle or something.
  - I was under the impression that they were the same guy; the present-day vessel was middle-aged, while the vessel in "The Song Remains the Same" looked to be about twenty-something.
  - I always thought angels keep their vessels pretty status quo...like how they don't need food or sleep, so I assumed they also wouldn't age.
Sixth Ranger Traitor

Anna Milton (Julie McNiven)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Angel Unaware
Back for the Dead
Badass
- Badass Boast: She gets two in "On the Head of a Pin":

Castiel: We still have orders to kill you.
Anna: Somehow, I don't think you'll try.
And, later:
Uriel: There is no will! No wrath! No God.
Anna: (to Uriel, after she stabs him with an angel-killing sword) Maybe, maybe not. But there's still... me.

Being Tortured Makes You Evil: It's implied her Face Heel Turn in "The Song Remains the Same" is a result of her imprisonment in Heaven.
Big Damn Heroes: She saves Castiel from a royal beat-down by Uriel in "On the Head of a Pin."
Brainwashed and Crazy
Break the Cutie: The very first episode she's in has her locked in an insane asylum for hearing angels talking about the Apocalypse, her parents slaughtered by demons to get to her, Alastair hunting her down to "interrogate" her, and angels trying to kill her. Things... do not get much better for her from then on.
Damsel in Distress: She was one, before she remembered she was an angel and she regained her powers, which led to:
- Took a Level in Badass
Emotionless Girl: After becoming an angel again.
Evil Redhead: In "The Song Remains the Same."
Face Heel Turn
Fallen Angel
God in Human Form
Hearing Voices: When she was human, starting the same day Castiel saved Dean from Hell.
Kill Her With Fire: Courtesy of Michael in "The Song Remains the Same."
Killed Off for Real
Laser-Guided Amnesia: After she ripped out her grace and was reborn a human, she still apparently remembered who and what she really was, to some extent, since she said that her human father wasn't really her dad and believed that her real father (God) was going to kill her when she was a little girl. Therapy helped her repress her memories of being an angel until Pamela used hypnosis to make her remember.
Meaningful Name: Paradise Lost, by John Milton. Also a Shout-Out.
- There's also an angel named Haniel/Anael in Jewish mythology. Said angel is powerful and high-ranking enough to be considered an archangel and is associated with the planet Venus (which is supposed to represent love and beauty). Hmm. Which angel do we know who is Badass, Castiel and Uriel's boss, pretty in human form, and Dean's Love Interest?
Stealth Hi Bye: Does quite a few of them, including one while Dean is driving:

Anna: (suddenly appearing in the backseat) Hey, guys.
Dean: Ah! (jerks steering wheel, but manages to get the car under control)
Anna: Smooth.
Dean: You ever try calling ahead?
Anna: I like the element of surprise.

Well-Intentioned Extremist

Zachariah (Kurt Fuller)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Badass in a Nice Suit
Bald of Evil
Celestial Bureaucracy: Zachariah occupies one of the Holy Host's higher echelons, apparently just one step below Michael, the de facto Lord of Heaven.
Council of Angels
Evil Is Petty: He says it himself in "Dark Side of the Moon":

"Lucifer may be powerful, but I'm...petty."

Evilly Affable
Fantastic Racism: Derides humans as "maggots" and "smelly things."
Faux Affably Evil
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: By Dean in "Point of No Return."
Jerkass
Killed Off for Real
Light Is Not Good
Reality Warper: Never confirmed outright, but Dean speculates that the "future" that Zachariah sent him to was either a hallucination or a pocket universe that the angel created.
Smug Snake

Lucifer (Mark Pellegrino, Jared Padalecki, various)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Badass
- Badass Boast:

Baldur: You think you own the planet? What gives you the right?

Lucifer: (sticks his arm through Baldur's chest, killing him) No one gives us the right; we take it.

Bad Boss: He created the demon race, but he has no compassion for his creations despite how much they admire him. They're just Cannon Fodder that will be eradicated along with the humans.
Berserk Button: "No one dicks with Michael but me." Cue Castiel exploding into a bloody mess.
Big Bad: He is the Devil, so...
- Bigger Bad: Everything Azazel and Lilith did in Seasons 1-4 was about trying to get him out of his cage.
Big Brother Mentor: Implied to have been one to Gabriel.
Blond Guys Are Evil Satan with blond hair and blue eyes?
Cain and Abel: With Michael.
A Chat with Satan: Of course. No surprise.
Deadpan Snarker
Dissonant Serenity: His massacre of the pagan gods.
Evil Is Deathly Cold: "Most people think I burn hot. It's actually quite the opposite..."
Evil Plan: Wipe out the human bastards.
Fallen Angel
Fantastic Racism: Towards humans, demons, and pagan gods. In fact, the only group he shows any compassion for are other angels, trying to tempt Castiel into joining him at one point.
Faux Affably Evil
A Form You Are Comfortable With: Poses as his vessel's (Nick) dead wife in a dream to gain permission to possess him, and assumes Jessica's appearance the first time he and Sam "meet".
Hallucinations: from season 7.
Hannibal Lecture: Gives one to Mercury in "Hammer of the Gods":

"You know, I never understood you pagans. You're all such...petty little things. Always fighting, always happy to sell out your own kind. No wonder you forfeited this planet to us. You are worse than humans. You're worse than demons. And yet you claim to be gods! ( kills Mercury) And they call me "prideful.

Hey, It's That Guy!: Hey, he can't be a bad guy; he's trying to keep the Man in Black from leaving the island!
Humans Are the Real Monsters
It's All About Me: How dare God show any attention to the hairless, murderous apes than to someone perfect and wonderful like Lucifer.
The Kid with the Remote Control: Many people call the Apocalypse a temper-tantrum thrown by Lucifer, especially Death.
Kill All Humans: His goal in Season 5.
Knight Templar: Somewhat. Lucifer viewed humans as murderous apes who ruined planet Earth, which he referred to as God's last perfect masterpiece. His Humans Are the Real Monsters belief, as well as his self-centered, self-righteous personality, cause him to rebel against God and turn a human into a demon (Lilith) to prove his point about the evil inherent in them.
Light Is Not Good: "I am an angel."
Limited Wardrobe: Though he had enough sense to change out of his vessel's PJs, he wears the same costume in all his appearances. Wedding ring included.
The Man Behind the Man: Azazel/YED was working for him.
Man in White: When he's possessing Sam in the Bad Future visited by Dean in "The End."
Manipulative Bastard: Uses Nick's pain of losing his family to gain control of him.
- In "Repo Man", it turns out that he's been appearing to Sam throughout the entire season. Finally, he uses Sam's concern for a missing Dean to his advantage, at which point Sam stops ignoring Lucifer. At the end of the episode, Lucifer states that now Sam can't make him go away.
Mind Screw: Claims to be pulling one on Sam in the Season 7 premiere.
More Than Mind Control: Has used this to successfully gain control of Nick and in another episode, he attempted (but ultimately failed) to recruit Castiel.

(In "Sympathy for the Devil"):
Lucifer: This is your choice...You people misunderstand me. You call me "Satan" and "devil", but do you know my crime? I loved God too much. And for that, he betrayed me — punished me. Just as he's punished you. After all, how could God stand idly by while that man broke into your home and butchered your family in their beds? There are only two rational answers, Nick — either he's sadistic, or he simply doesn't care. You're angry. You have every right to be angry. I am angry, too. That's why I want to find him — hold him accountable for his actions. Just because he created us doesn't mean he can toy with us, like playthings.
Nick: If I help you...can you bring back my family?
Lucifer: I'm sorry. I can't. But I can give you the next best thing. God did this to you, Nick. And I can give you justice. Peace.
(In "Abandon All Hope"):
Lucifer: "Castiel. I don't understand why you're fighting me, of all the angels...I rebelled, I was cast out. You rebelled, you were cast out. Almost all of heaven wants to see me dead, and if they succeed, guess what? You're their new public enemy number one. We're on the same side, like it or not, so why not just serve your own best interests? Which in this case just happen to be mine?"

Not So Different: Invokes this trope with Sam in "Abandon All Hope."

(to Sam) "I was a son, a brother--like you. I had an older brother whom I loved, idolized. And one day I went to him and begged him to stand with me. But Michael...Michael turned on me. Called me a "freak," a "monster." And he beat me down. All because I was different. All because I had a mind of my own. Tell me, Sam--any of this sound familiar?"

Satan Is Good: Subverted. He sincerely wants you to think this, and in his first few episodes at times, you might even be tempted to believe him, but ultimately he's an egotistical monster and was once referred to by Death himself as a child having a cosmic temper tantrum.
Sealed Evil in a Can
Soft-Spoken Sadist: He's very calm, cool-headed, and acts in a casual, gentle and polite manner. That doesn't stop him from torturing and killing to get what he wants.
Torture Technician: He took an innocent human and tortured her until she lost her humanity and became the first demon, Lilith. He's also been torturing Sam while he was in Hell and also after Sam had escaped from Hell.
Villains Never Lie: "Contrary to popular belief, I don't lie. I don't need to."
Xanatos Gambit: Lucifer's trying to summon Death and use him as a pawn. While Sam is trying to stop him, Lucifer says that Sam could just say "yes" and end this conflict. Either Lucifer will get Sam to be his vessel (one of his main goals) or he'll just go ahead and use Death (as well as the other horsemen) to bring destruction on Earth.
- By the season finale, Lucifer actually gets to use Sam as his vessel just like he had predicted.
Yandere: "I was punished for loving God too much" and "Because I loved Him" (the reason he was cast down by God, or so he claims...)

Raphael (Demore Barnes, Lanette Ware)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Arch Enemy: To Castiel in Season 6, with them leading opposite sides of Heaven's civil war. Though one can argue that their feud went back to Raphael's first appearance in Season 5.
Authority Equals Asskicking: One of the four top dogs in Heaven, his mere presence on Earth caused a massive thunderstorm that blacked out the entire Eastern Seaboard of the United States. For a healthy dose of Fridge Horror, he was not the most powerful archangel, so who knows what Michael is really capable of...
Badass: He might've been a grade-A Jerkass, but the sheer level and magnitude of his powers was like no other being seen in the series, ironically looking far more impressive than Michael, the strongest archangel in Heaven, and tying with Lucifer as the most visually powerful and impressive of the archangels.
- Badass in a Nice Suit: From "The Third Man" onwards.
Blow You Away: Father Reynolds, while administering Last Rites to Father Gregory's spirit in "Houses of the Holy," called Raphael "Master of the Air." Later, when Raphael appeared to Dean and Castiel on Earth, an incredibly powerful storm was blowing outside, and increased with intensity as the scene went on, eventually beginning to destroy the house they were standing in.
Do Not Taunt Cthulhu
The Fundamentalist
Gender Bender: In "The French Mistake." Or as close as gender-less being as come to this.
A God Am I: A shade of it; in Season 6, when Castiel asks Raphael how the angels can justify trying to re-start the Apocalypse, he says it's what God wants. When Castiel asks how he knows that, he says it's because it's what he wants. At the very least, he's appointed himself as the ultimate interpreter of the absent God's will, which is much the same thing, and seems to think he can boss Castiel around purely due to both his higher rank and superior power. Worst case scenario, he may even have been the one who talked Michael and some other angels into going along with the Doomsday scheme.
- And in the Season 6 finale, he thwarted Castiel's plan to become the new God...in order to hijack it for himself. Unfortunately for him, he got Out-Gambitted along with Crowley by Cas and killed shortly after.
God Is Dead: He was of the belief that his "Father" is dead. When asked why by Castiel, Raphael simply answered: If God was really alive, why wouldn't He stop the horrors of the 20th and the 21st centuries, including the coming Apocalypse?
Good Wings, Evil Wings
Holy Hand Grenade
Jerkass
Light Is Not Good
Karmic Death: Raphael killed Castiel (off-screen) by blowing him to pieces. Guess what Cas visits upon him in the Season 6 finale.
Killed Off for Real: In "The Man Who Knew Too Much," by Castiel.
The Nth Doctor
Scary Black Man: He might not have been as physically imposing as Uriel, but in terms of demeanor, attitude and possible danger level and the threat he was, he made Uriel look incredibly sad in comparison and as threatening as baby puppies.
- In "The Third Man," he completely trashed Castiel and could only be stopped by Heaven's answer to nuclear weapons. It only killed his vessel.
Shock and Awe
The Stoic:

Raphael: Do I look like I'm joking, Castiel?
Castiel: You never look like you're joking.

- Emotionless Girl: In his back-up female vessel.

Michael ( Matthew Cohen, Jake Abel)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Badass: He's the first and most powerful of all the angels, exemplified by Castiel asserting that he will simply kill Lucifer if the two were to duel each other, rather than fearing the reverse outcome.
Cain and Abel: With Lucifer.
Celestial Bureaucracy: He became the ruler of Heaven itself in God's absence.
Because Destiny Says So / You Can't Fight Fate: That's what he believes.
Big Brother Mentor: It's implied he was this to Lucifer.
Big Damn Heroes / Deus Ex Machina: In "The Song Remains the Same."
The Dutiful Son
Good Is Not Nice
Jerkass: "The Song Remains the Same" gives some hints that he is notably less so than most of his brethren.
- However, he calls Dean a "maggot" in "Swan Song."
Light Is Not Good
Not So Different: Just like his little bro Lucifer pulls this with Sam, so Michael does the same to Dean in "The Song Remains the Same."
The Nth Doctor
Take a Third Option: Michael decided he'd have to make do with Adam because Dean was out of the question. This didn't work out too well for him...

Balthazar (Sebastian Roche)

Sorry, you have me confused with the other angel. You know, the one in the dirty trenchcoat who's in love with you? I...don't care.

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Bargain with Heaven: In "The Third Man," he sold pieces of the Staff of Moses to humans in exchange for their souls.
Big Damn Heroes: He saves Castiel from Raphael with Lot's Salt in "The Third Man."
British Accents
Deadpan Snarker
Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: "Tell Raphael he can bite me."
Faking the Dead
The Hedonist
Heel Face Turn: In the last two episodes of Season 6, he allies with the Winchesters to stop Crowley and Castiel from opening Purgatory. He pays for it.
Ho Yay: With Castiel.
I Owe You My Life: The reason Castiel freed him and let him escape.
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: In the Season 6 finale.
Jerkass
Killed Off for Real: By Castiel in "The Man Who Knew Too Much."
The Nicknamer: He refers to Castiel as "Cassie" and Raphael as "Raffy".
Redemption Equals Death
Screw Destiny: Not just the present and future, either. Just because he hated that movie with Leonardo Di Caprio.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: For Gabriel: they share the same personality and they instigate the weirder plots and situations Sam and Dean find themselves in ("The French Mistake," anyone?). They're even killed in the same manner - a Heel Face Turn followed by getting betrayed and stabbed their own brother.
We Used to Be Friends: Castiel feels quite betrayed to see what his old friend has become.
- Works both ways when Balthazar decides that what Castiel is doing doesn't sit right with him.

Demons

Meg Masters (Nikki Lyn Aycox, Jared Padalecki, Rachel Miner)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Befriends Sam in her first appearance before he knows she's a demon by bonding with him as two fellow hitch-hikers.
Black Eyes of Evil
Blondes Are Evil: Well, she possessed a blonde in Season 1...
Dark Action Girl
Dead Little Sister: To be accurate, her first host body had one.
The Dragon: For Azazel.
Dying as Yourself: Meg was thrown out a several story high window but her powers kept the body alive. Episodes later, Dean and Sam exorcise the demon from her body, and the real Meg thanks them right before dying from the injuries.
Enemy Mine: Makes a... shaky alliance with the Winchesters in the sixth and seventh seasons.
Foe Yay: With Sam and Castiel. Also with Dean, to a lesser extent.
Gender Bender: She once possessed Sam to torment the brothers and made him kill other hunters.
Hero-Killer: Killed Pastor Jim and Caleb, both of whom were old friends of the Winchesters and implied to be Heroes Of Another Story. She is also responsible for the deaths of Jo and Ellen.
Karma Houdini: Seven seasons in, and Meg is still alive. Somehow.
- Meg has now been taken by Crowley to Hell, so karma eventually gets her in a way.
Known Only By Their Nickname: Since the demon's real name is never revealed, the characters (and fans) just call her Meg, after the girl we first see her possessing. It could have been revealed in "Caged Heat", but...

"Meg": Crowley.
Crowley: Whore.

The Nth Doctor
Put on a Bus
- The Bus Came Back
The Renfield: To Lucifer.
Slashed Throat: Her M.O.
Too Kinky to Torture: Laughs at both Dean and Christian when they try. She also claims what Christian is doing to her is nothing compared to what her host has already suffered.

Meg: This is kind of a turn-on, Dean, you hitting a girl.

Torture Technician: Trained as a torturer in Hell under Alastair.

Azazel aka The Yellow-Eyed Demon (Fredric Lehne, various)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Arch Enemy: To the Winchesters, especially John.
Big Bad: For Seasons 1 and 2.
The Chessmaster
The Chooser of the One: He chose a variety of possible candidates before narrowing it down to the one who would release Lucifer and become his vessel.
Deal with the Devil: Made one with John in the Season 2 premiere. Also manipulated Mary into making one in the past, as revealed in "In the Beginning."
Demon Lords and Archdevils: A very high-ranking demon, and the only one to answer directly to Lucifer himself. His existence alone kept other demons from targeting Sam.
The Dragon: For Lucifer.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: His "children". He tortures and nearly kills Dean for killing one and sending the other to Hell.
Evil Genius
Eyes of Gold: His trademark. Just the mention of "Yellow Eyes" or "Yellow-eyed demon" around people makes them really scared.
Faux Affably Evil
The Heavy: In Seasons 1 and 2. One might argue he's this for the majority of the show.
Hellish Pupils
Known Only By Their Nickname: He is only referred to as "The Yellow-Eyed Demon" or some variation during the two seasons he appears. We only discover his real name from a third party well after he has been killed.
The Man Behind the Man: Has been in both positions.
Manipulative Bastard
My Death Is Just the Beginning: He doesn't get to say it, but boy, is it true.
- Not really, his death certainly was not part of his plan. His plan had just been set into motion to the point that his death, didn't stop it.
No Name Given: His name wasn't revealed until four episodes after his death.
The Nth Doctor
Oh Crap: When he sees that Dean has the Colt, and a clear shot.
One Shot Kill: Dean visits this upon him via the Colt. To be fair, he really didn't see it coming. His plan keeps right on working, anyways.
Red Right Hand: His yellow eyes.
Uh-Oh Eyes

Crossroads Demon (various)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Deal with the Devil: Their job.
A Form You Are Comfortable With
Hannibal Lecture
Hot as Hell
Little Black Dress
- The Men in Black: The (male) crossroads demon from one of Sam's flashbacks in "I Know What You Did Last Summer" was dressed like this.
Red Eyes, Take Warning

Ruby (Katie Cassidy, Genevieve Cortese, various)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

"On the bright side, I'll be there with you. That little fallen angel on your shoulder."

Action Girl
Anti-Hero: She's the brothers' ally all right, but she's also willing to do things like kill a virgin and cut out her heart to save everyone else, and get Sam addicted to drinking her blood in order to make him strong enough to kill Lilith.
Badass
Becoming the Mask: According to Eric Kripke and her Season 4 actress, Ruby really did come to care about Sam, but it's debatable whether she genuinely loved him or loved what he could do.
Black Eyes of Evil
Blondes Are Evil: In Season 3.
Consummate Liar
The Corrupter
Dark Is Not Evil
- She proves herself to be on Sam's side once and for all in the fourth season finale, when she helps him off the Big Bad, thus tricking him into starting the Apocalypse, which was her goal all along.
Deadpan Snarker
Deal with the Devil: How she got to be the way she is.
The Dragon: For Lilith and Lucifer.
Evil Counterpart: To Anna. Both are benevolent supernatural beings who betrayed the rest of their kind. Both help the Winchesters. Both sleep with one of the brothers, an episode apart. Plus, both turn evil and are killed off.
Evil Mentor: To Sam.
Foe Yay: With Sam.
- They sleep together in "I Know What You Did Last Summer" (and likely after that, too).
Friendly Neighborhood Demon
Good Is Not Nice
Heroic Sacrifice: Came close to going through with it in "Jus in Bello". When she finds out that the Winchesters don't have the kill-anything Colt anymore, she immediately starts planning to do a spell that'll take out every demon in the area, including herself, to end their attack. Our Heroes figure out another way, of course, not that it saves the people in the police station from Lilith...
Hoist by His Own Petard: She gets killed by the demon-killing knife she gave the brothers.
Jerkass: Especially to Dean (who tends to instigate it).
Killed Off for Real
Knife Nut
Manipulative Bastard: Self-admitted. It comes with the whole "being a demon" thing.
The Mole
My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Ruby's a demon but she's on our side, right? Wrong.
Noble Demon: A literal version.
The Nth Doctor
Sassy Black Woman: Briefly.

Maid: (enters and gives Sam a piece of paper) I'm at this address.
Sam: (beat) I'm sorry. What?
Maid: Go now. Go through the bathroom window, don't stop, don't take your car, don't pass go. There are demons in the hallway and in the parking lot.
Sam: (realizing) Ruby?
Ruby: Okay, yes, so I'm possessing this maid for a hot minute. Sue me.
Sam: What about-
Ruby: Coma girl? Slowly rotting on the floor back at the cabin with Anna, so I've got to hurry back. See you when you get there. Go!

Sexy Mentor: To Sam in Season 4.
Sixth Ranger Traitor
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Her character could be summed up as "Meg plus Heel Face Turn." Possibly lampshaded in "Sympathy for the Devil" when Dean confuses Meg for Ruby despite having personally killed the latter only one episode ago.
Ted Baxter: "I am awesome!"
Took a Level In Kindness: YMMV, but Ruby comes off as nicer (read: less bitchy) after Season 3.
Waif Fu: Uses martial arts a lot more than she does telekinesis or other demon powers. Justified in her case, since she's a superpowered demon and thus capable of taking a punch and throwing it back.
Was Once a Man: Like all demons, she used to be human until centuries of torture in Hell irrevocably altered her. Unlike other demons, she seems to remember her humanity and wants to help Sam and Dean defeat Lilith.
What the Hell, Hero?: In "I Know What You Did Last Summer", Sam calls her out on the fact that for a self-proclaimed Noble Demon she's still possessing people against their will (which led to the death of her Season 3 host). She apparently listens to him, and chooses to possess a comatose girl just after she dies.
Wicked Witch
Woman in Black

Lilith (various)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Badass
Barrier Maiden: She is the final seal keeping Lucifer in Hell.
Big Bad: For Seasons 3 and 4.
Blondes Are Evil
Creepy Child
Die Laughing: She grins and laughs as Sam is slowly and painfully killing her, probably because she think it's funny that he's turned himself into a monster to stop the Apocalypse and is doing just that.

Castiel: (to Dean, in another episode) Lilith has a certain sense of humor.

The Dragon: To Lucifer. She might be even higher ranking than Azazel.
Eats Babies
Enfante Terrible: When possessing a little girl.
Foe Yay: With Sam.
The Heavy: Season 3 and 4's.
Monster Progenitor: Was the first demon.
- Was Once a Man: Used to be a human being, until Lucifer stripped her of her humanity and turned her into a demon via torture as a middle finger to God.
My Death Is Just the Beginning
Prophet Eyes
Thanatos Gambit: Pretty much the entire demon storyline, including her death, is her attempt to release Lucifer from Hell.
Woman in Black: In "The Monster at the End of This Book."
Woman in White: In "Lucifer Rising."

Samhain (Don McManus)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

All Hallow's Eve: Samhain is the inspiration for it in Supernatural.
One-Scene Wonder: Gets summoned and sent back to hell to never be seen again within the same episode.
The Quiet One: Most demons are quite chatty. After saying a few lines when he is first summoned, he doesn't say another word for the rest of the series.
Summon Magic: Can summon monsters including zombies and ghosts.
Ungrateful Bastard: Kills the witch who summoned him and calls her a whore.
Weaksauce Weakness: Has horrible vision, which is why masks can fool him. However, unlike most demons, he is immune to iron.

Alastair (Mark Ralston, Christopher Heyerdahl)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Ambiguously Gay: The lisp, man, the lisp!
Deadpan Snarker: Often. When threatening Dean with a return trip to Hell because Dean didn't torture him well enough, he replies: "We'll see you back in class, bright and early, Monday morning." Surprisingly maintaining deadpan while kicking Dean's ass.
Evil Mentor: To Dean and Meg.
Infernal Bureaucracy
Knife Nut
The Nth Doctor
Oh Crap: He laughs at the idea of Dean torturing him, and mocks him at the idea of using of holy water. Then he sees Dean filling a syringe with holy water...
Prophet Eyes
Theme Naming: Alastair and Crowley.
Torture Technician

Crowley (Mark Sheppard)

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a little Hell to raise.

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Affably Evil: Yes, he's evil. But at least he is classy.
Ambiguously Gay: Though it gets less ambiguous with every appearance.
- By this point, there is a very strong Bi the Way vibe.
Beard of Evil: Starts sporting one in Season 7.
Bigger Is Better in Bed: Implied to be the reason why Crowley sold his soul.

"Just trying to hit double digits."

- Biggus Dickus
British Accents
Card-Carrying Villain: Makes no pretense of who or what he is from the word "go."
Consummate Liar
The Corrupter: To Castiel, though this ultimately comes back to bite him in the ass in the Season 6 finale.
Curb Stomp Battle: In "Caged Heat," even after Sam, Dean and Meg have him apparently right where they want him, he manages to completely overpower them so fast, it's almost ridiculous. Bonus points for the look of bored amusement in his face after this happens.
Deadpan Snarker
Deal with the Devil: The big boss of these things.
- As it turns out, he made one himself when he was human. For an extra three inches of cock.
Disc One Final Boss: His few appearances in Season 6 suggest that he'll be the new Big Bad, but he's killed off halfway through the season by Castiel.
- But then in "Mommy Dearest," we find out that he faked his death, and really is the Big Bad.
  - Aaaand then, in the last few minutes of the season, he gets ousted from the position by Cas tiel.
Embarrassing First Name: He wasn't always Crowley. In life, his name was Fergus MacLeod.
Embarrassing Nickname: Apparently, all the demons call him "Lucky the Leprechaun" behind his back because of his original name which, as Bobby points out, is Scottish, not Irish.
Enemy Mine: With the Winchesters. On more than one occasion. And once he commits to a cause, he will do whatever it takes to see it through. He even takes on the role of the Heroic Comedic Sociopath for a while when on the run from Lucifer.
Even Evil Has Standards: He may twist the wording of a deal to his benefit, but he never breaks a deal, as he explains to a minor Crossroads Demon who had been killing "clients" ahead of schedule.

"This isn't Wall Street; this is Hell. We have a little something called integrity!"

Evil Brit
Evil Counterpart: In a sense, to the Trickster/Gabriel. He is a demon while the other is an angel. Both are Affably Evil. Both are the fifth season's Ensemble Darkhorses. Both help Dean and Sam. Both resigned from their job in Hell and Heaven. And finally, neither of them want the Apocalypse to happen.
- He's also this to Castiel, in that neither wants the Apocalypse to happen, both help the Winchesters, and both get cast out from their respective groups based on the previous two facts.
  - Both he and Castiel also try to introduced a new way of doing things to demons and angels, respectively, only to be met with opposition.
Evil Versus Evil: He helps the Winchesters to try and stop the Apocalypse, but bear in mind that he's still a demon. That just means he's less evil than Satan himself.
- And in Season 6, we find that he and Eve, the Mother of All (non-demon) monsters, don't get along either.
Face Death with Dignity: Subverted. He's fully willing to face death, but Castiel doesn't want to kill him.
Faking the Dead: In Season 6, after Castiel "kills" him. Turns out they're actually working together and set the whole thing up.
Friendly Enemy: Played with, especially at the end of Season 5. Ultimately he's still a demon who crawled his way to the position of King Of Hell WITHOUT the angelic power someone like Lucifer had to back him up, so the Winchesters know damn well not to trust him. But he's honest with them (most of the time) and he doesn't play the mind tricks that Lucifer or Ruby did.
Genre Savvy: When Castiel tells him not to worry about the Winchesters, he's almost outraged and spits out a list of super-powered heavyweights that said the same thing about them, all of whom are either dead or locked away at the Winchesters' hands. All by two human boys who "shouldn't have been any trouble for them."

Crowley: Am I the only game piece on the board who doesn't underestimate those denim-wrapped nightmares?!

Hey, It's That Guy!: Mark Sheppard had to appear at one point, after all.
Ho Yay: Not only is he Ambiguously Gay, he also kisses every guy who makes a deal with him. And he has pictures to prove it.
- He also loves to drop double entendres and situational puns. All the time.
- It is extra amusing at the end of Season 6 because the main target for his witty remarks and flirting is his business partner, Castiel. Needless to say said remarks go straight over Cas' head.
Laughably Evil
Long-Lost Relative: His son Gavin. Father and son both hate each other. Crowley suggests that Bobby torture Gavin's ghost, and Gavin rats Crowley out, thus allowing Bobby to get his soul back.
Man of Wealth and Taste
Manipulative Bastard:In the Season 7 finale, due to his manipulations, Dick Roman is killed and Castiel pays for betraying him as he ends up in Purgatory along with Dean.
Meaningful Name: Crowley being either Aleister the occultist, or AJ (formerly Crawly) of Good Omens.
Noble Demon
Only Sane Employee: He seems to think of himself as this, as far as Hell is concerned. Especially since getting promoted and finding out that trying to show demons a new way of having things work...doesn't work.
- Well, now he's the Only Sane Employer. And, considering what his industry is, this is probably true.
Out-Gambitted: By Castiel in the Season 6 finale.
Playing Both Sides: Does this to the Winchesters and the Leviathans in the Season 7 finale.
Sarcastic Clapping
Screw This, I'm Outta Here / Villain Exit Stage Left: In "The Man Who Knew Too Much," he quips "Exit stage Crowley" and disappears, following Castiel absorbing all the souls of Purgatory and becoming the new God.
Suddenly Shouting: He does this a lot.
Vetinari Job Security: Is starting to move into this position since becoming King Of Hell. Neither the good guys nor most of his fellow demons want the chaos that would result from removing him.

Monsters and Supernatural Beings

Azazel's Special Children -- Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki), Max Miller (Brendan Fletcher), Andy Gallagher (Gabriel Tigerman), Ansem Weems (Elias Toufexis), Scott Carey (Richard de Klerk), Ava Wilson (Katharine Isabelle), Lily (Jessica Harmon), Jake Talley (Aldis Hodge)

A description of the characters goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Abusive Parents: Max's father and uncle.
Blessed with Suck: All of them.
Bury Your Gays: Lily's reference to having a girlfriend (unless you interpreted what she meant as "my friend who is a girl" like the anime adaption did).
Cain and Abel: Andy kills his fraternal twin brother, Webber/Ansem to stop him from killing more people, shortly after he finds out they're related.
Compelling Voice: Andy and Ansem.
Corrupt the Cutie
Distaff Counterpart: Ava shares Sam's visions and dead fiance. Even when they go off the deep end, how their powers develop mirror each other's - Ava controls demons to kill others, Sam exorcises and kills demons with his brain.
Driven to Suicide: Max. Also how Ansem kills his victims.
Evil Twin: Ansem to Andy.
Face Heel Turn: Ava and Jake, both decent people turned evil in their desperation to survive Azazel's "contest".
Happily Adopted: Andy.
Killed Off for Real: All except Sam, who came back from the dead thanks to Dean's deal with the crossroads demon.
Last of His Kind: Sam, even though Jake initially won the competition.
Mind Control: Andy and Ansem. Ava develops Mind Control over a certain type of demon and uses it to kill the other Psy-Kids.
Mind Over Matter: Max.
Missing Mom: Some of the kids' moms were telekinetically pinned to the ceiling, gutted, and burned alive by Azazel when they were babies because they interrupted him as he was feeding the babies his blood. This includes Sam, Max, Andy, and Scott.
Neck Snap: Ava gets killed this way by Jake to save Sam.
Plucky Comic Relief: Andy, whose reaction to developing the ability to project images into people's heads is to torment a Jerkass by making him think about gay porn.
Precognition: Sam and Ava.
Psychic Powers
Separated at Birth: Twins Andy and Ansem were adopted by different families. They reunite in a Season 2 episode, but it does not go well...
Shock and Awe: Scott.
Super Strength: Jake.
Touch of Death: Lily.
Tyke Bomb
With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Max, Ansem, Ava, Jake, and eventually Sam. The only exception seems to be Andy, who got stronger (on his own) but not crazier.

Tessa (Lindsey McKeon)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Dark Is Not Evil
Damsel in Distress: In "Death Takes a Holiday."
Don't Fear The Reaper
Expy: Of Death from The Sandman.
A Form You Are Comfortable With
The Grim Reaper: Not THE Grim Reaper, just a Reaper. She may be Dean's Reaper though.
Shiny Midnight Black

Lenore (Amber Benson)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Brainwashed and Crazy: Offscreen, but in Season 6 Eve uses their mental link to make her nest feed on humans.
Cold-Blooded Torture: Gordon does this to Lenore when he captures her in "Bloodlust".
Cute Little Fangs: Not really; they look like shark teeth.
Friendly Neighborhood Vampires
Kill It with Fire
Killed Off for Real
Mercy Kill: Castiel kills Lenore at her own request after she tells them where Eve is, wanting to be stopped before she is forced to attack humans again.
Vegetarian Vampire: Her nest feeds off of cattle instead of humans to avoid be killed by hunters. She forbids one of her vampires from killing Sam and resists the urge to drink blood when Gordon cuts Sam's arm over her face.

Pamela Barnes (Traci Dinwiddie)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Blind Seer: She becomes blind after seeing Castiel's true form.
Deadpan Snarker
Disabled Snarker
Eye Scream: Ouch.
Fearless Fool: "Sorry Castiel, I don't scare easy." Too bad.
Killed Off for Real
A Plague on Both Your Houses: Before she dies, she tells Sam and Dean to tell Bobby to go to Hell for introducing them to her in the first place, which cost her her eyes and her life. She later appears to have changed her mind because, in Heaven, she is happy and at peace.
Prophet Eyes: Her fake eyes, which make her look "extra psychic."
Psychic Powers

God / Chuck Shurley (Rob Benedict)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

All Powerful Bystander
Deus Ex Machina: It's revealed in "Dark Side of the Moon" that He was the one who rescued Sam and Dean and resurrected Castiel in "Sympathy for the Devil."
Disappeared Dad
Divine Intervention
Have You Seen My God?
Man in White: At the end of "Swan Song" where Chuck is implied to be Him.

The Four Horsemen -- War (Titus Welliver), Famine (James Otis), Pestilence (Matt Frewer) and Death (Julian Richings)

A description of the characters goes here.

Tropes exhibited by these characters include:

Bad Boss: Famine either uses the demons under his orders as sacrifice or as lunch.
Cool Car: Each one of them has one. War has a red Mustang, Famine has a black Chevy, Pestilence has a greenish-grey Pinto, and Death, the last we see, has a white Cadillac Eldorado.
- Well, some are less cool than others. However, they are all puns, as each type of car is named after a horse, and is the color of horse that each respective horseman rides.
  - Of course, they mixed two of them up; in Revelation, Death rides the pale horse while the white rider is generally labeld as Pestilence. Possibly lampshaded/foreshadowed earlier in the series when Alastair said about Death, "You know he doesn't really ride a pale horse?"
Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: War, thanks to Ruby's knife ("C'mon, kids, you can't beat War!"), Famine (courtesy of Sam and his demon powers, which Famine forced back on Sam) and Pestilence, thanks to the last bit of angel left in Castiel.
Evil Old Folks: Famine.
Evil Tastes Good: Famine's favorite food? Human souls, but he could go for some demons too. And they are DELICIOUS!
Fingore: War and Pestilence both get their ring fingers cut off.
Four Is Death: And you can add War, Famine and Pestilence.
Gotta Catch Them All: The Horsemen's rings are the keys to trap Lucifer again.
Hey, It's That Guy!: War seems on good terms with Lucifer, but it wasn't always the case.
- He may be Death now, but Julian Richings used to be a gravedigger.
- Don't forget Jim Taggart as Pestilence.
Humans Are the Real Monsters: War thinks that we only need a little push to all kill each other, and Famine is not a big fan of our tendencies for always wanting more than what we can handle. Pestilence considers that bacteria and microbes aren't chaotic or destructive; we are. At least, Death is not so hard; he just sees us as incredibly insignificant.
Master of Illusion: War uses his ring to confuse two groups of humans by making them think that members of the other group are demons.
Plaguemaster: Pestilence.
Quirky Miniboss Squad: Four powerful beings that have to be beaten before going for the Big Bad.
- Unconfirmed to be either angels or demons. They can't be killed in any normal way, are not confirmed to have to be possessing anyone, and Death, at least, claims to be just as old as God and capable of killing Him.
Ring of Power
Smug Snake: War.

Death (Julian Richings)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Blue and Orange Morality: Seems to operate this way.
Captured Super Entity: In Season 5, he is magically bound to do Lucifer's bidding. In Season 7, Dean and Sam bind him to their will.
The Comically Serious
Complete Immortality: Death claims he is the one thing in existence that will last forever.
Cosmic Entity
Deadpan Snarker

Dean: You're not serious?
Death: No, I'm being incredibly sarcastic.

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Death tells Dean matter-of-factly that at the end of time, he will reap God.
Did We Just Have Tea with Cthulhu?: In all three of his appearances thus far.
Evil Old Folks: Though he's not so much evil as very mean.
The Fog of Ages: Death is either as old as God or even older; he can't remember anymore. According to him, God Himself can't remember that far back, either.
- He also claims that he's going to be the one to reap God at the end of time, potentially making him the oldest known entity in the Supernatural universe.
The Grim Reaper: Guess who...
Jerkass
Lean and Mean: Discussed by Karen Singer, Bobby's wife.

Karen: When I came back, there was a man at the grave. He was so thin, like a skeleton.

Leitmotif: "O Death" is pretty much used as one the first time viewers see, well, Death.
Mister Exposition: Gives info on how to trap Lucifer again and later about the Leviathans.
No, Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Dine: Death offers Dean a seat and a meal in the first two episodes they meet. He's very civil about it.
Non-Malicious Monster: Death isn't interested in Lucifer's plan for bringing about the Apocalypse. He's not terribly interested in Earth, as it turns out...but it doesn't stop him from killing everyone in the restaurant where Dean meets him, apparently just by his presence.
The Omniscient: He appears to be this, although there are limits to his knowledge (such as assuming instead of already knowing what Sam, Dean, and Bobby summoned him for in episode 7x01, and surprise at being informed that they want him to kill "God"—i.e. Castiel). If not absolutely, he is at least functionally omniscient.
Reasonable Authority Figure: Death is much more level-headed and temperate than his "brothers," even though that doesn't stop him from being sarcastic.
- In the first episode of Season 7, he even gives the Winchesters advice on what to do after they bound him, which is what he was so angry at Lucifer about that he told them how to defeat him. And brings an eclipse to aid in the spell to open Purgatory a second time. He's arguably the most reasonable super-powered being on the show. Though he did say he'd kill them if they ever tried to bind him again.
  - Considering that a certain archangel pulled the same stunt on him a couple seasons earlier, his anger and subsequent threat of swift death if they ever tried to bind him again is justified.
Subbing for Santa: In "Appointment in Samarra," Death agrees to retrieve Sam's soul if Dean will act as him for one day.
Summon Bigger Fish: In "Meet the New Boss," after Castiel declares himself the new God, the Winchesters--with an assist from Crowley--bind Death to their bidding so they can have him kill Castiel. It doesn't do much good, as Castiel frees Death from the Winchesters' control.
Suspiciously Specific Denial: Death doesn't care about humanity, Earth or helping Dean. He's very specific about that, while giving Dean advice on saving Earth and humanity.
Tall, Dark and Snarky
Time Abyss: With massive amounts of Nightmare Fuel, Uncanny Valley, Cryptic Conversation, and all other manner of unsettling tropes. In his few appearances he has explained several times that he will persist throughout eternity, and is the only thing that could truly never die.

Death: This is one little planet, in one tiny system, in a galaxy that's barely out of it's diapers. I'm old, Dean. Very old. So I invite you to contemplate how insignificant I find you.
Dean: I gotta ask, how old are you?
Death: As old as God. Maybe older. Neither of us can remember anymore. Life, Death, chicken, egg.

Touch of Death: Obviously.

Alpha Vampire (Rick Worthy)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Badass Boast: "When your kind first huddled around the fire, I was the thing in the dark. Now you think you can hurt me?"
The Dreaded: The Winchesters haven't forgotten the fact that it took twelve hunters (most of whom died) to bring him in the last time and treat the situation with the appropriate gravity.
Enemy Mine: Gives the Winchesters his blood, which they need to kill the Leviathans and allows them to go free after he learns that the leviathans are trying to stomp out all other monsters, including his kind, to preserve their food supply.
Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: You just don't call Eve a whore in front of the alpha vamp and walk away from it. Edgar found this out the hard way. God knows what'd happen if the alpha learned that Dean was the one who killed her...
Family Values Villain: Shows shades of this. Considers all vampires his children and even his snacks call him "Daddy".
Genre Savvy: He had borax on hand in case the leviathans tried to betray him.
- It gets better. He probably didn't even know about their weakness to borax until Dean mentioned it. He could have ignored the suggestion but he didn't and it saved his life. That's one smart vampire, dude.
Implacable Man: It takes more than chains, dead man's blood, and demons to keep him down.
Last of His Kind: According to Crowley, he's the only alpha who didn't die in Season 6.
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: When the Alpha Vampire says to Dean, "See you next season," it's actually a metaphor for the way the Winchesters hunt, focusing all their efforts on one Big Bad per year.
Like a Badass Out of Hell: Offscreen, no less.
Monster Progenitor: All vampires descend from him.
No Honor Among Thieves: He believed the leviathans would let other monsters in on their big plan to turn the human race into a burger franchise, because they're all "family", related by Eve. He seemed genuinely upset when Edgar told him that they're actually trying to kill him and his children so they don't have to "share".
Scary Black Man
Stockholm Syndrome: The virgin he keeps around for food doesn't want to be saved when offered the chance and calls him "Daddy".
Super Senses: Like all vampires. He could even sense that Sam had no soul in Season 6.
Too Badass To Torture: "Ouch. Stop. That hurts." All in slightly-bored deadpan.

Dr. Eleanor Visyak (Kim Johnston Ulrich)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Chekhov's Gunman: Originally introduced as a contact of Bobby's, she's revealed at the end of Season 6 to be an escapee from Purgatory, and the only one who knows how to open a portal there.
Humanoid Abomination
Interspecies Romance: With Bobby in the past.
Killed Off for Real: In "The Man Who Knew Too Much."
Really Seven Hundred Years Old

Eve, the Mother of All (Julia Maxwell, Samantha Smith)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Achilles' Heel: Phoenix ash is her only weakness. Even if phoenix ash has been drunk by Dean; that blood is lethal to her due to phoenix ash being in it.
Assimilation Plot: In "Mommy Dearest," we find out that her ultimate goal is to turn all humans into hybrid creatures, so that all their souls will belong to her in Purgatory and denying any to Crowley.
Big Bad: Of Season 6 but this is subverted when she is killed in "Mommy Dearest", making her the Disc One Final Boss to Crowley and ultimately to a power-mad Castiel.
Black Sheep: Suggested to be one in Season 7 as both her and her children are looked down upon by the Leviathans who are implied to be related to her and by extension her children.
Disc One Final Boss: For the second half of Season 6.
Does Not Like Shoes / Foot Focus
Evilutionary Biologist: Has a few shades of this. She's not much interested in humans, except as potential test subjects to help her create the perfect monster.
Evil Versus Evil: She reveals in "Mommy Dearest" that she's come to Earth in response to Crowley hunting her "children" and is preparing to go to war with him.
A Form You Are Comfortable With: Subverted. In "Mommy Dearest," Eve takes the form of Dean and Sam's mom just to mess with them.
Fun with Acronyms: Fans call her the "Mother Of Monsters."
Glamour Failure: By seeing her on security tape footage, it's very clear she is not human.
Hoist By Her Own Petard: She bites Dean to try and turn him into one of her hybrid creatures, only to find out that he had previously ingested some Phoenix ash (her one weakness). Cue gory death.
Hot Mom: After all, she is the Mother of all monsters and the vessel she's in is gorgeous.
Humanoid Abomination: She's an Eldritch Abomination possessing a girl her Mooks tossed into Purgatory.
Killed Off for Real
Mama Bear: Do not hurt her children. She does not care if you are the King of Hell or not, she will hunt you down.
Meaningful Name: The fact that her name's "Eve" and she's the mother of all monsters can't be a coincidence.
Monster Is a Mommy
Mother of a Thousand Young
One Bad Mother
Woman in White

Leviathans -- Dick Roman (James Patrick Stuart), Dr. Gaines (Cameron Bancroft), Edgar (Benito Martinez), Chet (Sean Owen Roberts), Agent Valente (Morgan David Jones)

A description of the characters goes here.

Tropes exhibited by these characters include:

Achilles' Heel: The only way to kill a leviathan is to stab it with a bone of a righteous mortal dipped in the blood of a fallen angel, the King of Hell and a father of the fallen beasts (an alpha monster, the first of a monster species). This weakness is fairly hard to use against them because of meeting the above conditions and that they managed to keep it a secret until "Reading is Fundamental". As for their other weakness, see Weaksauce Weakness below.
Big Bad: For Season 7, more specifically Dick Roman.
Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu: Turns out killing a Leviathan drags the nearby souls who killed them into Purgatory.
Corrupt Corporate Executive: Dick Roman, the man possessed by the head leviathan, is one of the richest men in America, and since his possession has slowly started becoming the most powerful, via multiple massive corporate takeovers.
Dangerously Genre Savvy: Despite being Smug Snakes, Dick Roman and the Leviathans have their moments. For example, when the Winchesters are gathering what they need to kill the Leviathans -- a bone from a righteous mortal and blood from a fallen angel, the King of Hell, and an Alpha monster—Dick summons the current King of Hell, Crowley, and traps him in his office, therefore ensuring that the Winchesters need to go into his office before they can finish the weapon.
- Gets better in the finale, as Dick has several other Leviathans copy his identity, so the Winchesters don't know which one to attack.
Demonic Possession: They take control of Castiel, or at least hijack his vessel Jimmy, at the end of the Season 7 premiere. Noticeable was the change in tone of voice from Castiel's deep monotone to one that sounds more like an insane version of Misha Collins's normal voice.
- In the following episode, Jimmy's body is about to be destroyed by their power, so they disperse, mass-possessing an unknown number of people across the country.
Eldritch Abomination
Evil Laugh
Fantastic Racism: They seem to share Lucifer's opinion on humans and demons.
- They also despise the monster races sired by Eve (vampires, werewolves, etc), viewing them as mutts who're taking up their food supply. Because of this, they've specifically engineered their human complacency drug so that it poisons monsters as a side effect.
Faux Affably Evil: Most of them tend to come across as this.
Fight Off the Kryptonite: Dick Roman pulls a villainous version of this trope by enduring a sustained barrage of borax-based cleaning products by the Winchesters long enough for him to catch up to them and fire the shot that ultimately killed Bobby Singer.
Hero-Killer: Just one of these guys (Edgar, who's implied to be little more than a Mook Lieutenant) delivers a worse beating on the Winchesters than they've ever received on the show, with the (possible) exception of Lucifer. Afterwards, Dean actually calls an ambulance, which—as the Television Without Pity recapper pointed out—he's never done before in the entire series' run.
- As of "Death's Door", Dick Roman has successfully killed Bobby Singer.
- In "Reading is Fundamental", a lone leviathan is revealed to be able to slaughter angels with disturbing ease.
  - In "Survival of the Fittest", it is revealed that the Levianthans have killed an entire garrison of angels.
Human Resources: Dick Roman wants to turn all of humanity into complacent and stupid food sources for the Leviathans. They consider seven billion humans to be a limited resource.
I'm a Humanitarian: Not much of a surprise on this show, but their first instinct/threat regarding anything seems to be "Eat him."
- One of the only ways to kill leviathans is to have them eat themselves or each other.
It's Personal: They got Castiel and Bobby killed. Dean's method of coping with this is to single-mindedly devote himself to taking them down, in a way that'd make John Winchester proud. (Or seriously concerned.)
Killed Off for Real: Dick Roman, after being stabbed with what is described in Achilles' Heel. However, it is an example of Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu, as killing a Leviathan brings those who killed it into Purgatory.
More Teeth Than the Osmond Family
Names to Run Away From Really Fast: Just watch Dean's reaction after Death first mentions them in "Meet the New Boss."
Nigh Invulnerable: They shrug off being shot point-blank with silver, and Edgar survived having a car dropped on him.
Sealed Evil in a Can: Let's put it this way -- God created Purgatory "just to lock those poisonous, clever things away."
Slasher Smile
Slave to PR: As Dean notes to Roman, being in a celebrity's body means he can't just kill Dean himself, particularly in public.
Space Whale Aesop: In "Slash Fiction," Bobby didn't see the point of Sheriff Jody Mills cleaning up Rufus' cabin. After testing every monster weakness imaginable on the captive leviathan, the thing gets burned by borax that leaked into the basement while Jody was scrubbing the floor above. A lot of lives could have been saved if the average hunter was more into household chores.
Smug Snake: Many of them, Roman especially.
Villains Blend in Better: They seem to be adapting to the modern world fairly well, considering they predate everything on Earth. Justified since they gain the memories of anyone they possess or shapeshift into (though they need DNA for shapeshifting).
Villain with Good Publicity: Pretty much everyone outside of the main characters and some of the side characters believe that Dick Roman is a businessman and a nice one too. In one episode, someone endorsed him for the Presidency. This is Justified though with the implication that Dick makes in "There Will Be Blood" that he is replacing media figures with Leviathans that are in human forms, so he can look popular in the public eye. Of course, most people do not know about his plan.
Voluntary Shapeshifting: Combined with their Demonic Possession, leviathans can be virtually anybody.
Weaksauce Weakness: They're immune to every monster-slaying technique and implement that's ever appeared on the show (including decapitation), but are damaged by borox, a common ingredient in cleaning supplies, that burns them like acid. Oddly enough, they were just as surprised at the revelation of this weakness as everyone else.
- It's safe to assume there wasn't any borax in Purgatory, making it impossible to them to learn of this Weaksauce Weakness.
Wham! Line: "This...is going to be...so much fun."
- Also, "Cas is gone. He's dead. We run the show now."
- And from "Reading is Fundamental", "Rock beats scissors...leviathan beats angel."
You Have Failed Me...: When Dr. Gaines' plan to use drugged fast food to make humans more complacent draws unwanted attention, Roman kills him—by forcing him to eat himself.
- Turns out this is standard protocol—unless you've really managed to piss Dick off, in which case he'll just eat you himself.

Agent Victor Henrickson (Charles Malik Whitfield)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Back for the Dead
Badass: All it took was a phone conversation with Dean for the Brothers Winchester to realize how screwed they were. Though this came dangerously close to a Creator's Pet-type conversation.
- Badass Beard
- Badass Normal: Arguably even moreso than the other Badass Normals in the series since Hendrickson does not have the occult knowledge they do.
Determinator
FBI Agent
Heel Face Turn: In his last episode he ends up helping Sam and Dean fight off legions of demons and it is even implied that Hendrickson may become a hunter afterwards. Then Lilith shows up and slaughters everyone, him included.
Inspector Javert
Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner: To standard operating procedure in his first appearance. When a cop on a case he's about to take over says: "I'm sure you're going to say you'd like me to cooperate and...," he responds with: "I don't give a rat's ass what you do. You can go eat a donut and bang your wife for all I care."

Lisa and Ben Braeden (Cindy Sampson and Nicholas Elia)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Calling the Old Man Out: Ben, to Dean.

"You're a liar, Dean. You say family is so important, but what do you call people who care for you, who love you even though you're a dick? You know you're walking out on your family, right?"

Generation Xerox: Ben to Dean, as seen in "The Kids Are Alright." They aren't actually father-and-son, but...
Hot Mom: Lisa
I Have Your Ex-Girlfriend and Not-Kid: Crowley kidnaps them in "Let It Bleed."
It's Not You, It's My Enemies
Laser-Guided Amnesia: Castiel does this to them on Dean's request to protect them from his enemies after they are kidnapped to use as leverage against him and Lisa nearly dies as a result.
New Old Flame: Lisa to Dean in her debut.
Stuffed Into the Fridge: Suprisingly averted given what usually happens to the boys' love interests, though the Braedens do appear to have been permanently removed from the series.
Understanding Girlfriend: Lisa until vampire!Dean comes to her house, freaks her out, and shoves Ben.

Bela Talbot (Lauren Cohan)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Abusive Parents

British Accents
Chronic Backstabbing Disorder

Deadpan Snarker
Deal with the Devil: Her deal when she was 14 to get rid of her parents.
Debt Detester
Evil Brit: Or at least, Downright Nasty Brit.
Expy: Of Catwoman to Dean's Batman. No, they didn't get together.
Foe Yay: With Dean.
- Sam at one point has an erotic dream about her, which freaks him out.
Freudian Excuse
Green Eyes
Hoist by His Own Petard: Had she asked for help to begin with, the guys would have helped her.
Killed Off for Real
Laser-Guided Karma
Moral Event Horizon: Crossed it in-universe in "Dream a Little Dream of Me" when she took advantage of the Winchesters' concern for Bobby to steal the Colt and thus shoot down the last chance Dean had to escape his deal. She may have crossed it even earlier when she shot Sam or when it was revealed that she had murdered a family member.
Only Known by Their Nickname: Even Bobby thinks that "Bela Talbot" is her real name, but as revealed in "Time is on My Side", her real name is Abbie.
Rape as Backstory: Implied in a flashback.
Rich Bitch
Self-Made Orphan: In a roundabout fashion. She actually got a demon to kill her parents.
Smug Snake
Taking You with Me: She tells Dean about Lilith holding their contracts just before she gets killed so he will kill the bitch.
Villainous Breakdown: Bursts into tears as the hellhounds come for her.
Wig, Dress, Accent
Wild Card

Chuck Shurley (Rob Benedict)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Angel Unaware: Or prophet, at least.
- In the Season 5 finale, however, it is implied he is actually God.
Author Avatar
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass
God in Human Form: Implied in "Swan Song."
Meta Guy: Chuck, a prophet who writes about the Winchesters adventures in trashy pulp novels. He apologizes for some of the badly-written episodes and even makes a remark about Sam's character arc for the season making him less sympathetic. At some points, his remarks smack of Author Avatar-ness. It's done surprisingly well, though.
Perma-Stubble
Put on a Bus

Becky Rosen (Emily Perkins)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Abhorrent Admirer: How Sam regards her.
Audience Surrogate: She's a Winchester fangirl with little respect for boundaries, such as the ones between the fictional characters in the "Supernatural" novels and the actual people she meets. For some reason, she's not very popular in the fanbase.
Cute and Psycho: In "Season 7, Time for a Wedding!"
Love Makes You Crazy
This Loser Is You: She is basically a Take That to the more rabid fangirls.
Yandere: For Sam. She drugs him with love potion, ties him to her bed when it wears off, and almost sells her soul so that he'll fall in love with her.
Yaoi Fangirl: Her introductory scene has her writing a Wincest Slash Fic.

Sheriff Jody Mills (Kim Rhodes)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Action Mom: Joins the hunters in fighting off a townful of zombies in "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid."
Deadpan Snarker
Fair Cop
Offing the Offspring: Subverted when Sam kills her zombified son, who has already killed her husband, to spare her from having to do it herself.
Reasonable Authority Figure
Ship Tease: With Bobby.
Team Mom

Frank Devereaux (Kevin MacNally)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Conspiracy Theorist
Dead Little Sister: His wife and two children.
Grumpy Old Man
Killed Off for Real: At the end of "Out with the Old". Maybe. When Sam and Dean go to his basecamp, it looks like there was a struggle and blood is everywhere. Take into consideration the episode title plus the show's usual treatment of characters, and poor Frank's probably gone for good.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: For Ash and Bobby.

Kevin Tran (Osric Chau)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

An Offer You Can't Refuse: Dick uses Kevin's mom to force Kevin to give him the translation of the Word of God after the offer of a letter of recommendation to Princeton fails.
