in A Very Supernatural Christmas | ||
Edward Carrigan was a Pagan deity of the Winter Solstice along with Madge.
History
Much like other pagan deities, he and Madge once had many willing worshipers who gave them sacrifices, taking over a hundred tributes a year, but with the coming of Jesus, they lost almost all of their followers, and without sacrifices they were weakened. They have lived for over 2 millennia.
Season 3
Madge makes wreaths out of Meadowsweet, and the people who buy the wreaths are taken for sacrifices. When she and Edward Carrigan find Sam and Dean snooping around in their blood-splattered basement, they take the brothers prisoner and start their ritual preparation for sacrifice. This involves cutting them both to obtain blood. Edward pulls out one of Sam's fingernails and is about to pull one of Dean's teeth when they are distracted by the doorbell, and the brothers are able to escape their bonds. Dean stabs Edward with a branch from a Christmas tree while Sam stabs Madge with another branch, killing them.[1]

Physical Appearance
Demonic appearance.
Edward appears as an ordinary citizen, but when light is shone onto his face, it reveals it to be bloody and inhuman.
