Boyd Loughlin

Boyd Loughlin was a powerful witch and a member of the Loughlin Family.

History
Boyd was a member of the Loughlin Family, a powerful family of druidic witches who came to the United States in the early 20th century. The Loughlin Family had many witches come to live with them to study their magic for a price. Amongst these was Rowena MacLeod after she was kicked out of her homeland by the British Men of Letters, but Boyd and his siblings treated Rowena cruelly. While powerful, all of the family but Boyd and his siblings Catriona and Gideon were killed by hunters. The three siblings managed to escape with the Black Grimoire, their spellbook, but were believed dead aside from a few rumors by all including other witches.

In 2017, while living in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, the siblings' accountant Barry Gilman ripped them off. While Gideon urged Catriona to let it go, she hexed Barry to have his stomach filled with money to kill him. This drew the attention of hunters Sam and Dean Winchester, the latter of whom killed Gideon, but not before Gideon cursed him to lose his memory. The next night, Catriona and Boyd discovered Gideon's body and were enraged, deciding to bring their brother back by switching his soul with Sam's. Tracking down the siblings, Sam attempts to force Catriona to give him what he needs to break the curse, but instead she and Boyd ambush Sam and knock him out.

As the siblings prepare the ritual, Catriona hears someone enter the house and is surprised to find Rowena. After learning who Rowena is, Catriona taunts her about their past and the two witches engage in battle. Boyd was preparing the rest of the ritual but Sam broke free of his bounds and fought Boyd. Catriona quickly pins Rowena to a wall with telekinesis and throws a glass shard at Rowena's head, barely missing her. Before Catriona can try again, Dean enters armed with a gun, amusing Catriona as bullets can't hurt her. However, Dean holds up a note with "witch-killing bullets" written on it before shooting Catriona in the head, killing her. Boyd and Sam then came out of the room and were confronted by Dean. Dean was confused and didn't know who to shoot. Sam told him he was his brother and Dean shot Boyd. Rowena then cured Dean of the curse by using a spell from the Black Grimoire.
