Novak Family

The Novak Family are the descendants of Ishmael, making them a long line of vessels for Castiel.

Known members

 * Jimmy Novak (deceased) - He is the husband of Amelia and father of Claire, and the true vessel of Castiel, to whom he would give consent to possession twice, and ultimately died at the hands of the archangel Lucifer. His soul is in Heaven while his body continues to be used by the angel.
 * Amelia Novak (deceased) - She is the wife of Jimmy and mother of Claire. When Jimmy first mentioned angels, Amelia did not believe him, and deemed he was crazy. After witnessing Jimmy become possessed a second time, she decided to search for him, leaving Claire with her mother. She was eventually manipulated and killed by Tamiel. Her soul exists in Heaven with Jimmy.
 * Claire Novak - She is the daughter of Jimmy and Amelia. Claire briefly became the vessel of Castiel so the angel could save her family. She would later suffer neglect when her mother left to look for Jimmy. She eventually befriended the Winchester brothers and went to live with Jody Mills. She is also a hunter.
 * Gregory Novak - mentioned in Supernatural: War of the Sons, is the father of Jimmy and grandfather of Claire.

Allies

 * Sam and Dean Winchester - The brothers tried to protect the Novaks from demons in "The Rapture", and briefly took care of Claire while helping her search for her mother.
 * Castiel - He is the angel who can possess members of this family without damaging them. Although he was blamed for breaking the family up, Claire forgives him.

Enemies

 * Demons - Jimmy's separation from Castiel by the angels prompt demons to check him out, to see how he worked. They eventually decided to just kill him and his daughter, but failed.
