Why does everyone keep saying that Lilith was the first demon created? The show is not accurate with the bible or wherever you heard that from. I have watched all eight seasons out so far 3 times and never heard anything about Lilith being the first demon, I have heard that from lore seperate from the show though.

IMO as far as Azazel and Lilith go, Azazel was ranked higher, and most likely more powerful and a lot more cunning. Azazel's blood was the blood that could give these children powers, that is why he was chosen to do it. More demon blood when you have some just increases the power (making the point someone made about Ruby's blood being gave him the strength to kill lillith unimportant to this debate). Azazel  set the whole thing up to have Lucifer resurrected. If it wasn't for Azazel it would have never happened. For him to be trusted with a task of that magnitude you would have to assume he was the highest. Also if I had to guess, since Azazel was the one who originally gave Sam his blood, I believe Azazel would have been immune to Sam's powers unlike Lilith.

Lilith did have to be killed for it to be the final seal. Ruby did mention at one point that with Azazel gone Lilith was rising to take control. Azazel was killed and not just sent back to hell so (this is speculation) I believe Lilith became the #2 by default, which is why it was her who needed to be killed to break the final seal.

Alaster was called the "Grand inquisitor of hell". I would rank him #3, yet this is all really close. Alaster was one of the most important demons being an expert in torture so he can get information out of you, though I highly doubt he was on the level Azazel and Lilith were. Though the demon blade did not work on Azazel, which raises questions because Lilith escaped the little girls body before Sam could stab her with it and also flew dean away from her when he was trying to attack her with it, if it wouldn't affect her, you would think she would have just taken it like Alaster and then did her white blast of light and catch them by suprise.

There are a lot of questions and it is all speculation, this is how I would rank it. I do not understand how people are so sure of their answers, especially when they use content to back it up that isn't even from the show -_-. They all seemed to have different abilities and immunities so it would be difficult to rate them by power, but as far as the rank in hell I am pretty sure that is the order.
