God

God, also known as The Creator, The Lord, Heavenly Father, and the Man Upstairs, created the entire universe, and the Natural Order that even powerful beings like Death must follow. He always stays behind the scenes, not making his presence known publicly.

Having created everything, God has existed since before beginning of time, alongside Death.

Notable Creations
While God is the Creator of the Universe, He has created many notable beings and things, which were specifically created in this order.


 * Heaven: God's divine dominion, for noble and righteous souls, as well as angels.
 * Leviathans: The first beasts.
 * Purgatory: God's prison for monsters, specifically the Leviathans.
 * Archangels: The first and greatest of all angels.
 * Angels: Collectively all species under this title that isn't an archangel.
 * Earth: God's last masterpiece, according to Lucifer.
 * Humans: God's most beloved creations.
 * Hell: God's prison for evil souls and demons.

Powers and Abilities

 * Omnipotence: God can do anything and everything, and has easily created things, varying from the universe at large to humans. As put by Lucifer, "No one makes Dad do anything." God can open Lucifer's Cage without the Four Horsemen rings, as Dean Winchester incorrectly suspected it was God who got Sam Winchester out. He created Purgatory, Lucifer's Cage, and Hell to imprison his most dangerous creations, the Leviathans and Lucifer, respectively. Despite Castiel's disobedience, God chose to educate and forgive his young son instead, by healing and resurrecting him after his death at the hands of Raphael and later Lucifer. Only God is known to be all-powerful and perfect, and Death even stated that Castiel, powered with 30-40 million souls from Purgatory, was no God.
 * Omniscience: God has unlimited understanding, knowledge, and awareness of everything, including the future. Joshua once told the Winchesters that, "He knows already, everything you want to tell Him." However, Death claimed that neither he nor God can remember which of them is older.
 * Omnipresence: God is everywhere in the universe at once; however, His main being is somewhere on Earth.
 * Immortality: God is truly invincible and thus truly immortal, unaffected by time, disease, age, fatigue, or hunger. While unconfirmed to be true or false, Death once stated that he would reap God at the end of creation.
 * Teleportation: God can teleport himself and others anywhere He wants in the universe. For instance, He teleported Dean and Sam out of Lucifer's presence and onto an airplane.
 * Resurrection: God can bring anyone or anything back to life. Due to His lack of interaction or intervention, however, He does not do this often, though He is known to have resurrected Castiel at least three separate times.
 * Healing: God cleansed Sam of the demon blood he had consumed.

Physical Appearance
God's visage has only been seen by the Archangels, Jesus, and possibly the Fates and Death. His true form, if He has one, is beyond anything that anyone could perceive or understand. It was said that Dean's Amulet can detect God's presence; however, Joshua thought otherwise, as God can only be found if He wants to. Often when God does intervene, it's done behind the scenes, without physical interaction. Anna once mentioned that, out of all the Host of Heaven, only four of them have seen God; this has been shown to be untrue, or at least an exaggeration, as at least five heavenly beings have been known to seen God: Michael, Lucifer, Gabriel, Raphael, and Metatron.

Early history
In the beginning, God existed. He created Heaven, a place where He and His angels and noble souls would eventually reside. He then created the first beasts, the Leviathans. However, seeing the potential danger the Leviathans could cause, He decided to lock them away in Purgatory, which He created just for that purpose. God then created the five Archangels, Michael, Lucifer, Raphael, Gabriel, and Metatron, then He created angels, seraphs, and Cupids. The angels and Archangels called God their father, and existed only to glorify Him.

Soon, God created humans. He then asked all the angels to bow down to humans as His greatest creations and present more compassion towards them than to Him. Lucifer became envious, as he was the favorite son of Heaven, and saw that humans were flawed and murderous (both Death and Gabriel described this as essentially a "temper tantrum" as humanity had replaced Lucifer in the foremost of God's affections). Faced with this situation, he became increasingly more prideful, and convinced one-third of Heaven's Host to rebel with him. Lucifer went to Michael and asked him to stand with him, but Michael refused. A great and bloody battle ensued in Heaven where angels warred against angels. Michael and Lucifer fought in a cataclysmic battle until eventually, God caused the battle to cease by casting all the rebels, including Lucifer, out of Heaven. Out of anger against God, Lucifer corrupted a human soul, who would later be known as Lilith, into the first demon. God then had Michael personally cast Lucifer into Hell, specifically Lucifer's Cage.

God continued to watch over and protect all His creation and children against anything that might hope to corrupt or hurt it, although it is inferred throughout the series that He is both miserable and lonely, as He feels guilt for letting Lucifer be corrupted and that few can sympathize with His feelings, save for those such as the angel Joshua, a fellow gardener. Though when talking to Michael in "Swan Song," Lucifer believes that, since God made everything, "He made me who I am. God wanted the Devil."

Season 4
Castiel claimed to Dean that God ordered him to rescue Dean from Hell.

Uriel later expressed disbelief in God, saying "there is no God," among other things.

Climactically, when Dean wondered where God was, Zachariah responded, "God has left the building."

Season 5
In "Sympathy for the Devil," Dean and Sam are trapped in the chapel of St. Mary's Convent while Lucifer is about to emerge from his cage. Suddenly, everything becomes bright, and the brothers find themselves on an airplane simultaneously passing over Ilchester, Maryland. Later, when Dean questions Sam about how he's feeling, Sam notes that it's weird because he's not shaking and doesn't have a fever like he normally does after drinking demon blood. Sam gives the credit to whomever saved them and put them on the plane.

In "Dark Side of the Moon," it is confirmed by Joshua that God put them on the plane, granted both brothers salvation in Heaven, resurrected Castiel, and cured Sam, which Joshua comments on being more than He has done in a long time. The angel then reveals God has been on Earth for some time and is lonely, but still speaks to him (Joshua) from afar, as He feels that Joshua can sympathize with Him "gardener to gardener." Joshua also relates a message from God to the Winchesters: "Back off." God feels that the Apocalypse is not His problem and that He has intervened on their behalf enough for them to solve the problem of the Apocalypse themselves. Joshua also reveals that he intends to let Dean and Sam keep their memories of their time in Heaven at God's order, as God wants them to remember this encounter.

Chuck is God?
At the end of the season finale Swan Song, the prophet Chuck Shurley is seen disappearing after finishing the last book of the Supernatural series. Though it is never revisited in the show, both Rob Benedict (who played Chuck) and series creator Eric Kripke have confirmed that Chuck is indeed God, and was acting from behind the scenes in order to preserve free will.[citation needed]

Season 6
In "The Third Man," Castiel states that God didn't let Sam out of Hell, although He obviously has the "muscle." Since "Swan Song," no one has seen any sign of Him (most likely even before as none of the angels knew where he was on Earth when he originally left Heaven). Even Balthazar states "Dad isn't coming back." Raphael later references Him when battling Castiel, stating "Somehow, I don't think God will be bringing you back this time."

In "The Man Who Would Be King," Castiel, desperate and morally ambiguous, tells God the story of how he attempted to free Sam from Lucifer's Cage, made a deal with Crowley to partner up with him to find Purgatory, and started the civil war in Heaven against Raphael. He prays to God to give him a sign, to which he receives no response.

In "The Man Who Knew Too Much," after Castiel absorbs millions of souls from Purgatory to gain power, he claims the souls as his own and is adamant on not surrendering their power. When Sam arrives and stabs Castiel, the Angel Blade doesn't kill him, proving that he is not an angel anymore. Castiel then proclaims himself as the new God, and gives the Winchesters and Bobby Singer an ultimatum: bow down to him or he will destroy them.

Season 7
In "Meet The New Boss," Castiel enters a church and kills a bigoted, hypocritical pastor by making him choke on his own tongue. Moments after doing this, he hears a voice speaking to him from afar, causing him to pause and grip the side of a pew. Upon hearing the voice, Castiel then looks at a stained glass window depicting Jesus (a physical manifestation of God) for a moment, before continuing onward and replacing the image in the stained glass window with his own. Later, while arguing with Death, Castiel asks Death where God is, but Death does not answer.

Near the end of Season 7, an ancient tablet sought by Dick Roman and subsequently stolen by the Winchesters is revealed to be one of the records of the Word of God, a message left by God Himself and dictated by Metatron when Creation was being formed. This particular record acts as an "in case of emergency" message relating to the Leviathans. This message reveals that God left the knowledge of how to destroy the Leviathans on this tablet in the event that they should ever escape from Purgatory, and that the only way to destroy them is with the Bone Of Righteous Mortal Washed In the Three Bloods of Fallen.

Season 8
After escaping Purgatory, Dean says the designer (God) of the box (Purgatory) didn't want him in there anymore than he did, so He created an escape route which only works for humans and any angels.
