User blog:Enriant/Heaven and Hell

Okay, this is my first blog post and I would like if everybody shared their opinions in the and. So, we know Heaven and Hell all have an hierarchy, but we don't know much of it rather than some planes of authority. However, when I was thinking about it, I noted some similarities between the Angels and Demons who occupy it's ranks. If you agree or disagree, please comment below

First, all of them have a divine being who created them and only the highest-ranking among them have ever seen their faces. The Angels have God and the Demons have Lucifer (Quoting Casey in "Sin City" who stated that the Demons have Lucifer as their god)

Both of this "divine" beings had four inferior creations serving them directly, and after God left and Lucifer was imprisoned, these four creations came to represent the highest plane of authority in Heaven and Hell, and where so powerful that they ever pissed off their weaker siblings, who came after them. All this four creations surely saw their "god's" face: They are the Archangels and the White-Eyed Demons. In the series themselves, we only have two white eyes, however, in Bobby's Guide he mentions other two White-Eyed Demons locked away

They greatly resemble one another, more than just the number four: We have Michael, the oldest son and who became the ruler of Heaven and Angels after his father was gone. We also have Lilith, the oldest daughter who became ruler of Hell and Demons after her father was gone. Both are the highest level of authority inside their ranks and were the closest to their parents

Raphael was the one just below Michael in the hierarchy, the only other remaining Archangel in Heaven and who helped Michael regardless of what he needed, trying to complete the plan of Heaven to continue the Apocalypse but who didn't put true confidence in both the plan and in his father, instead relying on his older brother, Michael, to orders. We also have Alastair: The only other reminaing White-Eyed Demon on Hell and who has Lilith's second-in-command. He had a great role on Hell's plan to release Lucifer, but, like Raphael, he really didn't put much trust on his father and the plan and did it becuse he was obeying Lilith, his older sister - Remember that, different from Lilith and Azazel, Alastair never appeared to be rely on the plan and never show any great respect or devotion to Lucifer and the Apocalypse, and was several times stated to be following Lilith's orders

We don't know the other two Demons but we can still make a parallel between them and Lucifer/Gabriel, because both were not active in Hell, the same way Lucifer and Gabriel were not in Heaven. If we count Samhain as the third White-Eyed Demon, we can still make a parallel with Gabriel: Samhain was worshipped as a god by the Celts the same way Gabriel was worshipped as a god by the Norse. Also, Gabriel, in his first appearance, summoned several monsters who cause their problems in the episode, while Samhain also summoned several monsters during his only appearance

In Hell's hierachy, the White-Eyed Demons are immediately followed by the Yellow-Eyed Demons, whose only individual we knew of was Azazel. Also, the Archangels were followed by the Seraphim in Heaven's one, and we originally only knew of a single Seraph: Zachariah (Assuming he was one)

Both Zachariah and Azazel have antagonistic roles during two seasons and were direct subjects to the supreme leader at the time: Zachariah was Michael's servant and Azazel was Lilith's. Both appeared to have powers truly greater than the ones below them and had two direct subjects, one evil and one later to become one of the boys' allies: Zachariah had Castiel and Uriel, while Azazel had Meg and Tom. Both also had these two during the first season where they appeared, in which their evil subordinate was killed and the good one survived but strayed out of the original plan

Later, Cas became a Seraph. There is no other Yellow-Eyed Demon in Hell we know of, so we can make no direct parallel. However, I can think in a situation: Crowley. Yes: Crowley still has Red Eyes, but he is far above their level of power, although he initially was inside it, implying his power grew with time. When Cas became a Seraph, it was only after his second death out of four. Crowley never died, but he actually survived truly near-death four times: The first by the Colt, the second by Godstiel, the third by Abaddon and the last one by Rowena using Cas as a weapon. Like Cas, Crowley only showed visible power-ups after his second survival. Also, like Castiel, Crowley is very close to the boys, but this is in a mirrored relation: While Castiel is their ally, he became their enemy sometimes. In a mirror, Crowley is their enemy, but they ally somemtimes when they need to survive

Just below the Yellow-Eyed Demons, we have the Red-Eyed and the Black-Eyed. In Heaven's hierachy, we only have the normal Angels right below. However, I thought something: All classes of Angels have some distinct characteristic: Grigori was far powerful than Seraph even through the latter out-ranks them and they have Angel Swords. Rit Zien heal them but also give them short deaths if it is needed, Cherubim control emotions and etc. However, the Intelligence Angels do not. They have the same powers of the normal Angels, they just have a different, specific work. This relation, brought to the Demons, is the same: Red and Black Eyes have the exact same powers. However, Red-Eyed Demons have an specific job of making deals and claiming souls, so we would have them as parallels

And then, we have special classes: First, the Knights of Hell. They would, easily, be Hell's Grigori. The Grigori are stronger than Seraph although they are out-ranked by them. As far as we have seem, I could say the Knights are stronger than Yellow Eyes, even through they are out-ranked by them. The Knights of Hell are an order of Demons like Grigori was an order of Angels, and both were extinct because they got mad... And was later discovered they are actually not extinct and a few of them managed to survive. Also, like the Grigori have the Angel Swords, the Knights have the Marks of Cain (Both Cain and Dean held one at the same time, so I assume that all Knights have one)

Making the final correlations: Acheri to Cherub. Both didn't showed the need to use a physical vessel in order to interact with the physical world. While the Acheri assumed the form of children, the Cherub had child-like mentalities. Nephilm to Cambion. Half-angel/demon and half-human, extremely rare. Devas to Reapers. Reapers are Angels (sadly) who serve death and reap souls, and don't need a physical vessel. Devas are Demons who are brought to attack and kill their targarts, and don't need a physical vessel. They both can be summoned and controlled through magic. And, finally, the Seven Deadly Sins to the Rit Zien. The Seven Deadly Sins embody the worst and strongest of the sins who create all the others. Rit Zien, on the other hand, do not represent sin but rather virtues: Kindness (As they heal Angels in battles) and Mercy (And kill them if it's impossible to save them). Ephraim wasn't seemingly evil: He just didn't understand the human concept of sadness so he really didn't understanded what he was doing was wrong

So, this is my theory: Hell's Hierachy is made to mirror Heaven's and vice-versa. Any thoughts comment below, I would really like to read opinions:
