Kevin Tran

Kevin Tran is a an normal high school student whoses life gets turned upside down when he becomes a prophet.

Season 7
Kevin was a normal kid studying for his university exams when he is struck by lightning. Waking up the next day, he is compelled to take his mother's car and go after the tablet. He steals the tablet from the hospital while nobody's looking and makes a run for it. However he is chased and eventually caught by Sam and Meg.

He explains to the brothers that he couldn't explain what happened or why he feels compelled to keep the tablet close to him. However he informs them that he can read it, although it is hard to focus on for a long time.

Two angels, Hester and Inias appear to take him to the desert, a rite for every Prophet in order to read the Word. However they are banished by Dean using a sigil. Kevin freaks out but then calms down. He accompanies the brothers, Meg and Castiel to Rufus's cabin.

After he has translated the tablet, the Winchesters allow the angels to take him. The angels agree to return Kevin to his mother, and watch over him. Unfortunately, Edgar the Leviathan is waiting for them at Kevin's home. He kills both of Kevin's angel escorts and kidnaps Kevin.

In There Will Be Blood, he is sitting bound and gagged in a conference room. Dick Roman removes the tape from his mouth and has Edgar unbind him. Dick tells Kevin to translate the Word of God (which Edgar stole when he kidnapped Kevin). When he initially refuses, Edgar turns on a live video feed, showing his mother being held hostage with a blade to her neck. He translates the tablet for the Leviathans, and Edgar releases his mother. Dick, however, says that he needs Kevin to stay a little while longer (presumably so that he doesn't warn the Winchesters).

In "Survival of the Fittest", he is seen in a waiting room where he meets Polly - a brainwashed human test subject. He tries to converse with her, but quickly realizes she's too "stoned" to care about anything. He later escapes the room but is caught by Susan after spying on Dick, finding out the Leviathans plans, and is taken to a room and is bound and gagged to a chair. Sam comes and rescues him and Kevin tells Sam they need to destroy the lab. Sam and Kevin later go and find Dean, Castiel and Dick Roman and witness Dick's death. Dean and Castiel inexplicably vanish. Moments later, Crowley shows up with 2 Demons and orders them to take Kevin. His whereabouts are unknown.

Powers and Abilities
Despite being a Prophet, Kevin seems to have no Angelic form of protection like Chuck. This is likely due to the lack of Archangels to protect him, as well as Castiel's garrison all being murdered or gone into hiding.


 * Capability to read the Word of God - He was able to translate the stone tablet which had the Word of God written upon it. He was also able to reconnect pieces of the stone back together when it was broken into pieces.

Trivia

 * Kevin is a vegan.
