Chuck Shurley

Chuck Shurley is a Prophet of the Lord. He appears as a human writer who has published numerous novels that record every detail about the lives of Sam and Dean Winchester. Each novel recounts one episode of the TV show. He was inspired to write these by visions he kept having--visions that left him with headaches, which led him to drink liquor. The series has only had mild success, and he lost his publisher after he wrote that Dean Winchester went to Hell. He has a rabid following, however, who enthusiastically write about the novels in chat rooms, and arranged to have a convention, as shown in the episode "The Real Ghostbusters". He continued to write, however, as his visions compelled him. He did not know that Sam and Dean were real until they found out about the novels and sought him out, angrily confronting him at his rundown shack where he lived. Also, because Chuck is a prophet, an archangel, who demonstrates powers strong enough to scare even Lilith, is his guardian and protects him at all costs. His books contain some details that even Sam and Dean do not know.

In Swan Song, and after completing the final chapter in the story of the Winchester brothers' quest to avert the Apocalypse, Chuck smiles and vanishes after noting that "nothing really ends". Some interpret this to mean that he himself was God.

Season 4
Chuck is the author of the not so popular series "Supernatural". Sam and Dean discover him when are assumed to be LARPing (Live Action Role Playing). They discover that this series has every detail of their lives up to when Dean goes to Hell. So as Chuck is writing his next chapter, they appear at his door. They introduce themselves as Sam and Dean, and Chuck shuts the door on them. Sam and Dean don't give up and demand how Chuck knows about their lives. The boys continue to prove their existance to Chuck and when they tell Chuck their last name, he believes them. Chuck begins to apologize for things he thought he did, mostly because now he thinks hes a god. Dean and Sam convince him otherwise, but still unsure on how Chuck is tuned into thier lives. Chuck reveals that he had actually never stop writing and just write himself into the story. Chuck gets vision of Sam and Lillith, together. So he calls the Winchesters and gives them the script. Sam later calls Chuck to the motel to see if he knows about the Demon Blood. Chuck comfirms it and tells Sam that the story looks like it going to all rest on Sam's shoulders. After Dean's failed attempts to stop Chuck's story, he confronts Chuck about it. Castiel appears and tells Dean that Chuck is a prophet of the Lord. Chuck is just as shocked as Dean in light of this new information. Later Castiel reveals to Dean that all prophets have archangels tied to them, giving Dean the idea of bringing Chuck to their motel room to stop Lillith and Sam. So Dean drags Chuck to the motel room and Chuck's archangel comes. After Sam and Dean leave, Chuck has a vision which he rushes to tell the boys but is stopped by Zachariah.

In Lucifer Rising, Chuck finishes his manupage of "Supernatural-Lucifer Rising", and is ordering some girls for the night on the phone. He hangs up when he sees Castiel and Dean popping into his house. He says "This isn’t supposed to happen," implying that what was happening, he did not see in a vision. Dean looks over the story for Sam's location and discovers hes at St. Mary's Convent. Chuck tells them this is not whats suppose to happen and Castiel replies, "Yeah, well we’re making it up as we go." Then Chuck's archangel comes and Castiel sends Dean to stop Sam. As Castiel waits for the archangel to appear, Chuck puts his hand on Castiel's shoulder.

Season 5
In "Sympathy for the Devil", Dean and Sam go to Chuck's house to find Castiel. When they arrive Chuck hits Sam with a plunger. He is amazed to see that Sam is alright. He explains to the brothers that in his last vision, Sam went "full on Vader" and his eyes turned black like a demon. Dean then asks Chuck where Castiel is. Chuck tells them that the archangel destroyed him. While Dean and Sam are talking, Chuck interrupts them saying that he can hear the angels talk. Zachariah and two other angels then teleport inside Chuck's home. Zachariah attempts to get Dean to come with them after explaining that they need to strike now before Lucifer finds his vessel, but Dean refuses and banishes the three angels using a blood seal. Later, Chuck speaks with Becky Rosen through a video web chat. He tells her that everything in his books are real and that he needs her to give Dean and Sam a message since he is being watched. When Becky finds the brothers, she tells them that Chuck's message is that he had a vision that Michael's sword is on Earth and that the angels lost it. Sam asks if Chuck knew where it was, but Becky says it's in a castle on top of a hill made up of 42 dogs, which made no sense to them. Dean later figured out that Chuck was referring to an business card his father had for Castle Storage in upstate New York on 42 Rover Hill.
