'''Ephraim''' was a special type of [[Angels|angel]] known as the [[Rit Zien]].
'''Ephraim''' was an [[angel]] hailing from a special class, [[Rit Zien]]. He fell to the [[earth|Earth]] from [[heaven|Heaven]] due to the [[Expelling Angels|spell]] cast by [[Metatron]]. Upon arrival, he took the [[Vessels|vessel]] of [[Ephraim's vessel|a man]] who had recently become very religious. While on earth, he continued his work as a medical angel--healing the sick and, more importantly, bringing swift and virtually painless death to the gravely injured or emotionally despondent by smiting them. His first victim was his vessel's wife. He came across [[Castiel]], who Ephraim wanted to help by ending his pain once and for all. With the help of Dean, Castiel killed him with an [[Angel Blade]] when he tried.

Season 9

After falling to Earth, Ephraim gained a vessel in the form of a man who had recently become deeply religious and a follower of the Reverend Buddy Boyle.

His vessel's wife was his first victim and he went on to kill four more people, drawing the attention of Castiel and Dean Winchester. While most of these people were suicidal or in bad emotional states, Ephraim also killed a girl who was simply upset over a bad breakup with her boyfriend. Ephraim eventually tracked Castiel's deep pain to a house where he was babysitting and confronted him. Castiel thought he was there for his manager Nora's baby, Tanya, as she was sick and crying, but Ephraim wasn't: he was there for Castiel's pain. After trying to reason with Ephraim, Castiel attempted to banish him but failed.
