Rowena MacLeod

Rowena is a very powerful Scottish witch, and the mother of the demon Crowley, who was originally named Fergus Rodric MacLeod. She currently appears as the main antagonist in Season 10.

Background
Rowena considers herself a "natural" witch, claiming to be born with the gift of magic (as opposed to harnessing the power of demons.) She is presumably immortal, as she is known to have been alive for centuries. She frequently uses hex bags to kill her victims. In Girls, Girls, Girls, it was revealed that she created a demon killing spell in the 1800's that only she knows how to perform. Many of the spells that she uses are not easily withstood by humans, and cause them to die shortly after being affected. An example of this is the Attack Dog Spell.

Rowena was formerly part of the Grand Coven, but was dismissed by her superiors as a result of her violent and forceful use of magic.

Before appearing in Season 10, Rowena was briefly mentioned by Crowley. He described his mother as "dabbling in witchcraft" and said that she taught him a few things. However, Crowley did not mention her name.

Powers and Abilities

 * Immortality: Rowena is assumed to be immortal, as it is confirmed that she has been around since at least the 1600's.
 * Witchcraft: Being a witch, Rowena is very experienced in the use of spells and hex bags. She even has the ability to create some spells of her own (Defigere Et Depurgare). It is unknown whether or not the Attack Dog Spell is of her making.
 * Hex Casting: Due to being an old talented witch, she has absolute knowledge of hex bags, and are said to have taught Crowley how to use spells and hex bags back in the 1600s.
 * Astral Projection: In The Hunter Games, Rowena demonstrated this ability by crafting a spell which projected her awareness outside her body in order to spy on Crowley making a deal with Dean Winchester and Sam Winchester. She also used this gift as an advantage to turn Crowley's subjects against him, making herself his only trusted ally.
