God's Relationships

This page comprises God's relationships with minor and recurring characters.

Becky Rosen
Becky is a big fan of God, aka Chuck Shurley's the Supernatural books. After Lucifer is released from his prison, Chuck contacts an excited Becky so she can pass a message onto Sam and Dean, which she immediately does.

Chuck and Becky attend a convention together about Supernatural. Here, Chuck is shown to have a crush on Becky, but Becky is oblivious to his advances as she only has eyes for Sam Winchester, whom she tricked into coming. After Chuck does something heroic, Becky decides to "break up" with Sam and go and be with Chuck. Later on, the two break up since Chuck claims to have "too much respect for her" while Becky thought it was due to her sexual drive.

Chuck reveals in "Don't Call Me Shurley" that Becky was among a handful of boyfriends and girlfriends he dated.

His Creations
God enjoys creating new life and objects, and is known to have created a vast array of things. A major reason why God had a poor relationship with his sister was due to her habit of destroying whatever he created. God's oldest known creation is the Archangels.

At some point, God created the Leviathans, but he deemed them too dangerous. He thought the same for the Hellhounds. He chose to lock the former away in Purgatory while the latter was set to be annihilated, although one survived.

When God created humans, he deemed them his greatest and most successful creation, and ordered the angels to bow and serve them. Despite his initial enthusiasm, God came to despise humanity for their destructive nature, and chose to no longer intervene in their affairs in hopes that they would improve on their own.

God eventually took on the identity of a man named Chuck Shurley, and he began enjoying the pleasures of human society. He never returned to Heaven, leaving his angelic children to do what they want.

Death
God and Death came into existence around the same time, however, neither can remember who is older, but it was suggested that God is older because Amara didn't know Death but she knew God. It was also said that "In the beginning" there was only God and Amara, so it is likely that Death came into being sometime after God.

According to Death, the two have met before though its unknown what kind of standing they had. Death mentions to Dean that he will be the one to reap God when the world ends.

Shortly before The Darkness was released Dean killed Death. Death was present during the creation of the Leviathans, and found them entertaining, while God did not. The two share a fondness for unhealthy food.

It is unknown what his reaction was to Death's end at Dean's hands.

Angels
When it comes to angels, he treats them like humanity as a whole, despite they are his own children, never revealing himself to them but a few, never interfering no matter what happens and letting them choose their own paths, despite them being vastly different from humans.

His relationship to angels is somewhat paradoxical: though angelkind was created to serve his will and none other, not even their own, he left them behind, expecting them to find their own path, despite it standing against the very purpose of their existence.

He also ordered them to bow before mankind, not asking for it or their opinion on the matter, as explained by Lucifer, which suggested that he expected their obedience and only cared for their free will later on. Since Lucifer, the first angel who disobeyed God, was banished to Hell, he pretty much made an example of him, as angels would come to connect free will to Lucifer, which kept them from pursuing it, and he never encouraged angels to pursue it, either (Though it's worth noting he didn't want to order them to help him fight Amara, and wished to gain their support on their own free will).

It's unknown how exactly angels were ruled during his reign of Heaven, but the changes that occurred when Michael replaced him after his departure suggest that the difference was only minimal, since Michael would naturally try to handle things like his father did.

He also came to view them with apathy and cynicism, like humans. When Metatron asked why he abandoned the angels, he replied that all of them had disappointed him. Lucifer became his bitterest disappointment, Gadreel failed him and was put in the dungeons, Metatron was just an editor to him, Michael was left in the cage for being unable to offer help in his broken state, and he became displeased with his supposed favorite Castiel for having to rebuild him repeatedly, as well as the destruction caused by his actions by letting the Leviathans loose.

God has met a few of the angels personally and through them his opinion of both angels and humans somewhat changed as Metatron, a former corrupted angel helped him see the good of humanity even stating how much it changed him in a good way. God even tried making peace with Lucifer to get his aid in the fight with Amara and their talk was extremely tense.

When Lucifer/Castiel returned to Heaven for the angels' help against Amara, the angels wanted to hear this directly come from God after hearing that he was on Earth the whole time. They also locked up Heaven after hearing he was dying but seemed to open it up after the conflict was resolved by God being healed.

God also left earth without creating more angels, seemingly not caring that the angels were going extinct.

Gadreel
Gadreel was said to have been God's most trusted angel, to whom he gave the task of protecting God's most valuable creations, the humans. Gadreel was posted outside the Garden of Eden, but failed to keep Lucifer out under unknown circumstances, thus leading to the corruption of mankind.

His failure was said to be the reason why God left, though God stated that his angelic children had disappointed him as a whole. Presumably, as Lucifer had defied God at that point, Gadreel was the last angel whom God trusted, and Gadreel's failure was what ended God's trust in all the angels. Gadreel was subsequently imprisoned in Heaven, where he spent eons wishing to repent. He later died trying.

Joshua
After departing Heaven, Joshua was the only angel God still talked to, though not face to face, and only one-sided. Joshua suggested that it was because God was lonely and they were able to understand each other as "gardener to gardener." God spoke to Joshua so much that he was infamous for it and Joshua could exert a degree of authority against more powerful angels such as Zachariah by expressing God's will to them. When Zachariah chased the Winchesters through Heaven, God sent Joshua to save them and to give them the message to "back off". Unlike the high tier angels, Joshua appears to have faith that God will return to Heaven once more.

After The Apocalypse, it is unknown if God still spoke to Joshua. Castiel believed that Joshua still tended to God's throne room until the absence of a ruler drove Joshua to take charge himself. His rule was short-lived, and his death ended any chances of God speaking to him.

Lucifer
Lucifer was once God's most beloved and cherished son. God had also made him the most beautiful, and chose to entrust him with the Mark of Cain, believing Lucifer was strong enough to withstand it. Unfortunately, Lucifer was corrupted and developed a great deal of envy towards the newly-created humans. Lucifer regarded them as flawed, and refused to love them as God had commanded.

This drove God to cast Lucifer out of Heaven. To protect the humans, God assigned Gadreel, whom he now trusted most, to protect the humans. Gadreel failed in his mission, and Lucifer successfully corrupted them. God retaliated by creating a special Cage in Hell and ordered Michael to cast Lucifer into it.

This brought on a sense of betrayal within Lucifer, leading him to start The Apocalypse. God initially allowed his son to do as he pleased, though ultimately, he helped the Winchesters defeat Lucifer by providing Dean the location of the final battle. In Lucifer's eyes, the final battle to occur at Stull Cemetery was God's idea, since God had dictated that Lucifer would be killed by Michael. Lucifer accused God of making him the way he was because "God wanted the Devil!"

God never confirmed this accusation, nor did he express any remorse over Lucifer's re-imprisonment, which was made possible thanks to God. He did however, inform Metatron that Lucifer "was not a villain", implying a level of remorse for what he did.

Years later, Lucifer escaped the Cage a second time and with Castiel as his vessel, God's current "favorite" son. When Lucifer fell into Amara's clutches and suffered severe torture to lure God out, God did nothing due to his great bitterness and rage at Lucifer's disappointment. Indeed, merely suggesting he rescue Lucifer caused God to lash out at Sam and Dean. In spite of this, Lucifer defended God's name while speaking to Amara. In the end, Lucifer was rescued by Sam Winchester, who was driven to retrieve the archangel without God's help. God assisted near the end of the rescue mission by transporting the Impala back to the Bunker, Lucifer in tow, though he claimed it was due to "a prayer".

Father and son were reunited for the first time in eons, and the first thing they said to each other was how much the other had changed. God healed Lucifer of his injuries, and tried his best to communicate peacefully with him, but Lucifer was dismissive towards God, and became furious when God put a safe guard on Sam and Dean to prevent Lucifer from harming them. Lucifer did not believe one "cosmic band aid" was enough to make up for the years of neglect, and Lucifer proceeded to throw a tantrum until God was willing to apologize.

The two agreed to speak to one another at Sam and Dean's insistence. Initially, God put all the blame on Lucifer, but eventually admitted that he had made the mistake of choosing favorites, of expecting too much from Lucifer when he handed him the Mark, and locking him away for his own mistake. He apologized, and Lucifer forgave him.

They joined each other in the assault against Amara, but God's plan to re-imprison Amara failed. Lucifer tried to rescue his father from his enraged aunt, but was forcibly removed from his vessel while God was left to die on the floor. Due to Dean's intervention, God and Amara reconciled, and together they departed the Earth without a second thought.

Lucifer was left feeling betrayed, used, manipulated and abandoned. His anger and misery soon drove him to mercilessly manipulate, kill and torture humans since God's actions gave him no reason to care about them or anything. Lucifer was left with no plan but a desire to seek out fun and cause destruction, much to the chagrin of the Winchesters. Lucifer felt God's apology was only a tactical move to gain his support, though how much of this is true remains unconfirmed.

During a talk with Jack, Lucifer called God a strict guy but remarked he should have cut him some slack about being a father. When Gabriel stated God was right to imprison Lucifer since he was jealous of humanity and corrupted them to prove a point, Lucifer was reduced to tears.

Metatron
Metatron was an ordinary angel who was assigned to be God's Scribe by God himself, since he was "the closest to the door" when God walked into the room. When Metatron wrote down God's word, they presumably had a good time together, since Metatron claimed to have made God laugh twice. Both departed from Heaven after the first Heavenly war, each taking up residence on Earth.

After the Darkness was unleashed, God brought Metatron to his hiding place so he could help edit his newly-written autobiography. At first, Metatron isn't aware of him being God instead a talentless writer and insulted his work. This all occurred before God reveals he is aware of his actions and shows his true form which causes Metatron to become surprised and excited at seeing him as he takes back his words. They talk for a while with both laughing at the thought of restoring Metatron's angel status before discussing God's activities and fighting against the Darkness. Metatron soon question God's abandoning of him and the angels as he asked the reason with God stating he disappointed him along with his creations. Metatron even insulted him, which resulting in God throwing him out of the bar and insult him by stating he was nothing special. Despite this, Metatron was gleeful at this and they talked more.

They soon discussed Metatron's attempt to be God, which he states was for attention. Metatron then turned to God's true intention to sacrifice himself and let the Darkness destroy the world. He pleads with his father to assist humanity as they never gave up, with his words being a success.

Metatron is later killed during a rescue mission by the Darkness and its unknown what God's reaction was to his death.

Michael
Michael is God's firstborn son. For most of his life, Michael sought to be "the good son" by doing whatever God wanted. When ordered to bow to mankind, Michael bowed, and when ordered to cast Lucifer into Hell, Michael did just that. Shortly after this, however, God departed from Heaven without a word, forcing Michael to take up leadership of Heaven for eons. Despite Michael's good intentions, it is implied God is disappointed in him just like he was with his other creations.

Thinking the Apocalypse was God's wish, Michael decided to let it happen, and punished any angel who disagreed with his plans. When confronting Lucifer at Stull Cemetery, Michael refused to back down for he believed he was doing God's will. Their fight was interrupted by the Winchesters, and Michael was subsequently imprisoned in Lucifer's Cage, where he still remains. God noted that Michael was in no condition to help in the fight against Amara and showed no obligation to release him from the Cage.

Raphael
At an unknown point, God under his guise as Chuck Shurley was recognized by Heaven as a Prophet, so Raphael became his protector and guardian. Raphael was unaware that Chuck was in fact God, as he believed God to be dead and the world no longer had a god. Despite his belief, Raphael showed respect towards God as he defended him from Dean's words but showed resentment to him for leaving Heaven.

When Lilith came in contact with Chuck, Raphael descended upon the motel room they were in, with the intent of smiting the demon, until she fled. When Castiel rebelled, Raphael descended again and destroyed Castiel, as well as much of the inside of Chuck's house. He did not appear to Chuck again after that.

Raphael seemed to have changed his view of God being dead as he doubted he'd resurrect Castiel a third time.

Gabriel
His fourthborn son. Gabriel was the only one of the Archangels to agree with God's view on humanity and readily bowed to them. Like his father, Gabriel left Heaven out of disgust for his family's fighting and stayed on Earth for centuries. Gabriel did not appear to resent God for leaving and still loved him though mocked Castiel's search for him. God also chose not to resurrect Gabriel in the fight against The Darkness. He was unaware Gabriel faked his death and concealed his presence from him for years. Gabriel also pointed God left his creations behind and he could do the same as he refused to help with Alternate Michael. After Gabriel decided to help, he defended God from Lucifer after the latter talked about him to Jack (God's grandson). He even stated God was right to imprison Lucifer since he was jealous of humanity and corrupted them to prove a point.

Zachariah
Zachariah was shown to be dismissive of God since he wasn't ruling Heaven anymore, telling Dean that "God's left the building" with a distinct lack of respect. Despite this, Zachariah still remained afraid of God as he appeared frightened when Castiel implied he was the one who resurrected him and when Joshua conveyed a message from God to release the Winchesters and reminded Zachariah "you know how he is about that whole wrath thing." This was enough to get Zachariah to back off for a time but he soon resumed his efforts to get Dean to say "yes" despite God's orders.

Zachariah unknowingly met God while he was posing as a Prophet named Chuck Shurley and was somewhat rude to him even stating he was expendable since he'd be resurrected if he died. God gave off the belief that he didn't know the angel but most likely did to hide his cover from his children.

Marie
Marie is a school girl responsible for creating a Supernatural fan fictional musical. Although this attracted the attention of the deity Calliope, Sam and Dean were able to save the day. God, as the publisher of the story, came to see the musical and was greeted by Maria. She asked him what he thought, despite the imperfections. God answered that it was "Not bad" and smiled.

Mistress Magda
Before the confrontation at Stull Cemetery, Chuck awaited for a call from a Mistress Magda, who was shown to be a blonde bombshell wearing a bikini on a magazine or newspaper on his desk. Whether or not she ever called or dated Chuck remains unclear, but she was most likely a reference to Mary Magdalene, a woman Jesus was said to have been in love with.

Rowena MacLeod
Upon meeting her inside a warehouse, he showed no ill will and greeted her casually. Rowena was very shocked to meet him in person, she apologized for everything she did in her life, as God admitted to quietly rooted against Rowena for sometime. Though he confessed that she was one of his "guilty pleasures", much to her delight and to the disgust of Crowley and Dean.

During the attack against Amara, Rowena sided with God and his allies. After God was left fatally injured by Amara, Rowena spent most of her time tending to him and helping him stand. Although God was well aware of Rowena's nature to snuggle up to powerful individuals, he still found her kindness a comfort. The two also shared an opinion on children. Their bonding session was acknowledged by Crowley when he told God that he would not be calling him "Dad".

After God left the Earth with his sister, he left a profound effect on Rowena. Having spent all her life desiring for power because it would bring true happiness, Rowena realized from God and Amara that power did not in fact bring happiness, since the two most powerful beings in the Universe still struggled over sibling rivalry.

Sera Siege
Sera was Chuck's publisher, who also knew him by his "real name", Chuck Shurley, and not just Carver Edlund. She is among few people encountered by the Winchesters who enjoys the Supernatural books, and wishes more people would enjoy them too. Like most fans, she wears a fake anti-possession tattoo.
