Naomi

Naomi is an angel that was responsible for sending 'an incursion' that claimed several angels' lives to save Castiel from Purgatory. Her exact status is yet to be shown but it appears she holds some authority in Heaven.

Season 8


Naomi makes her first appearance at the end of A Little Slice of Kevin. After Castiel confronted Crowley, she whisked Castiel to Heaven. She told Castiel she was responsible for saving him from Purgatory. Naomi asked Castiel to tell her information about the Winchesters, which Castiel did casually, much to his own surprise. Naomi then urged Castiel to help the Winchesters recover the tablet. Before she sent Castiel back to Earth, Naomi made it clear she wanted Castiel to report to her every now and then. She also promised that no one will even know when and if he reports to her. Castiel disagreed, but Naomi disregarded his resistance and merely smiled. True to her word, when she sent him back, he was unable to remember he had spoken to her. In Hunteri Heroici, near the summation of the episode, she yanks Castiel to Heaven, and has a brief word with him. She tells him she doesn't want him in Heaven unless she permits it, prompting Castiel to question what he should do, after which she asks him what he wants to do.

When Samandriel inadverdently revealed the existence of a tablet pertaining to angels, she ordered Castiel to assassinate the captured angel. Naomi was convinced it had to be done to protect the angels and heaven. She also wanted Castiel to bring Samandriel's remains to heaven so she could examine how much information Crowley extracted from Samandriel.

In Goodbye Stranger, Naomi works to indoctrinate Castiel to her control completly by having him kill hundreds of copies of Dean. After he does so ruthlessly, she sends him after the angel tablet. Naomi has Castiel lie that he is searching for the second half of the demon tablet when the Winchesters catch him at it and has him kill a demon before she can tell them the truth. Naomi allows him to keep Meg alive as she knows the location of the angel tablet, but orders him to kill Dean after they locate the tablet. She explains to the powerless Castiel that he was "broken" and she "fixed" him when he is unable to stop himself from attacking Dean and tells him to choose between Heaven and the Winchesters. Castiel manages to stop himself from killing Dean and when he picks up the angel tablet, it breaks her connection with and control over him. After Castiel leaves to protect the tablet from everyone including herself and Dean, Naomi travels to the crypt where it had been located and meets up with Crowley who shows a familiarity with her and indicates a possible sexual relationship between them in the past. Though she isn't happy, Naomi admits that Castiel is doing what he is meant to do: protect the tablet even though it apparently means protecting it from her. When Crowley starts to offer a deal to her, she simply disappears on him, leaving him annoyed as that is what he usually does. Naomi is later seen recieving a report that the angels have had no luck finding Castiel.

In Taxi Driver, Naomi approaches Dean to try to convince him that she is on his side. Naomi claims that she periodically met with Castiel, but wasn't intentionally spying on the Winchesters and that Castiel misinterpreted her orders when he tried to kill Dean. Dean doesn't trust her, but Naomi informs him that Sam traveled to Hell through Purgatory before disappearing. Later, when Sam tries to release Bobby Singer's soul into Heaven and Crowley stops it, Naomi intervenes. Though Crowley warns her the Winchesters will likely lock up Heaven too, Naomi simply tells him she hopes he gets locked up and will figure out the rest and goes to smite him when he calls her a bureaucrat, enraging her. Crowley flees and Naomi releases Bobby, allowing him to go to Heaven where he belongs. Naomi reaffirms to Sam and Dean that she wants what they do, Hell closed and then disappears.

In The Great Escapist, Naomi receives word from Ion that they are unable to track Castiel through Biggerson's, so she has him slaughter all the people in one to draw Castiel out. Once he is captured, she ruthlessly kills a woman and interrogates Castiel for the location of the angel tablet, in turn revealing that he took part in the slaughter in Egypt by angels and that she erased his memory of it. She has erased his and other angels memories many times, but Castiel is different, he never truly followed orders as he was supposed to. Crowley arrives and wounds Ion with a bullet made from an Angel Blade and kills the other angel with her. Naomi tries to smite Crowley, but when he fires at her, she disappears.

Powers & Abilities
While her exact rank in the Heavenly Host is unknown, Naomi is an undoubtedly powerful Angel with a high degree of authority over Heaven and its denizens. She is capable of easily smiting Crowley and stronger than even Fallen Angel/Seraph Castiel, thus she is one of the strongest characters in the series. As an angel, she likely possess all of the basic powers and weaknesses of an angel, and some unique ones. Her powers include:


 * Compulsion - Naomi could compel other angels to follow her command. During their conversations, Castiel replied immediately and in full to any question she put to him. She later forced Castiel to murder Samandriel, an order he was unable to refuse. She lost this control over him however after their connection was severed by the Angel Tablet.
 * Immortality - As an Angel, Naomi has the potential to live forever, she has been alive since atleast moses was in Egypt.
 * Invunerability - As an Angel, Naomi can't be killed by convential methods, but she is still vulnerable to angel blades.
 * Memory Manipulation - When Castiel was returned to Earth, he was unable to remember speaking with her. It was latter revealed that Naomi had erased Castiel's memory multiple times over the several millenia due to the Seraph's constant refusal to follow through with his given commands. It's also likely that she has also done this to several other angels in order to keep them aligned with Heaven's high commands.
 * Apporting - She was able to transport Castiel from Earth to Heaven and then teleport him back to the exact place and time without the Winchesters noticing. She could also prevent Castiel from re-entering Heaven again without her consent. She has also shown the ability to converse with Castiel in Heaven while Castiel himself was also present on Earth. She lost this control over him however after their connection was severed.
 * Super Strength - Naomi could easily lift Castiel, a Seraph, off his feet.
 * Angelic Possession - Was able to possess a human to walk on Earth.
 * Teleportation - Able to teleport from one place to another.
 * Holy White Light - During a confrontation with Crowley, Naomi tried to blast him with the light, but he fled before she could.
 * Telekinesis - Naomi can move objects with her mind. With a simple finger movement, she snapped a waitress's neck and pulled a chair to her by snapping her fingers.
