Jimmy Novak

Jimmy Novak was a man who was chosen by Castiel to be his vessel. A very devout Christian, he prayed for years to assist the Lord.

Background
Jimmy was your average Joe before Castiel called upon him. He would pray before they ate dinner (which he was strict about). Then when he fell asleep in front of the tv, it begins to go staticy. Jimmy notices this and goes to turn it off, but it won't turn off. Then he hears an ear piercing noise, and collapses on the floor.

Jimmy now can hear Castiel's voice, and Castiel asks Jimmy to prove his faith and stick his hand in a pot of boiling water. Which Jimmy does and is amazed by the fact that his hand is fine. His wife walks in on him with his hand in the pot and freaks out. Jimmy triese to reasure her, by telling her Castiel told him that no harm would come, but she is not convinced.

Later on, she tries to get him to take some pills due to her belief that Jimmy is going crazy. Jimmy refuses, telling her hes not crazy. Jimmy tells her that Castiel choose him, she respond by, Castiel the angel. Jimmy tells her that Castiel has talked to Jimmy a bunch of times now. He asks Amelia, doesn't she belief in god? And Angels? Why is it so hard to believe that they are talking to him? Amelia resorts by saying that he sells Ad times on AM radio, Jimmy interupted her by saying that Castiel says that hes special. Its in his bloodline. She asks what that means, Jimmy doesn't know but tells her that Castiel told him that God had choosen him for a higher purpose. Jimmy pulls her to the couch and tells Amelia that this is a blessing. This is the best thing to ever happed to him. Amelia says I thought we were the best things that ever happen to you. Amelia ends the conversation by telling Jimmy if he doesn't get help, she is going to take Clare to her mothers in the morning.

With no other opition, Jimmy gets ready to leave. On his way out he grabs his trench coat. Standing in front of his house, he calls to Castiel. He tells Cas that he wants to help and something about his family. Jimmy asks Catiel to talk to him, and then Castiel answers. Castiel convinces Jimmy to says yes, and Jimmy asks Castiel to promise to keep his family safe. Then he says Yes. Castiel comes and poscesses Jimmy's body. Castiel wearing Jimmy, leaves.

The Rapture
After a big battle, Castiel is thrown from Jimmy's body. Then Jimmy wakes up and see two men (Sam and Dean) in front of him calling him Cas. Jimmy responds by saying, not Castiel.

Side Effect of Poscession
Castiel once said that aside from Jimmy's devout faith he chose him as a vessel because there is something special about Jimmy's bloodline that allows him and others in his family to comfortably have an angel presence inside of them and not suffer ill effects, such as with the Archangels hollowing of their hosts, or Lucifer rotting his host.
