“	"I am not hiding. I'm just done watching my experiments' failures."	”
	— God in Don't Call Me Shurley

God, known to Sam and Dean Winchester as Chuck Shurley, is a powerful primordial being who created the universe and nearly everything it contains, including the human soul. With Death's demise, the Darkness, his own sister, is the only entity rivaling his power.

Biography

Early History

“	God was the light, I am the dark	”
	— Amara in O Brother, Where Art Thou?

In the beginning, there was only the Darkness. At some point, God, her brother, came into existence. To show her that there could be more than just the two of them, God created many worlds, but the Darkness would always destroy them. Death came into existence around the time God did, as neither remembers who was older as life could not exist without death, and God then created the archangels, who helped him fight back the Darkness. All five of them combined could barely defeat her, so God tricked her and sealed her away, using the Mark of Cain as her lock and key. He gave the Mark to his most trusted lieutenant, Lucifer, to guard. He did not want to kill her as she needed to exist alongside him, thus why he locked her away instead, as Light and Dark must exist together to maintain the fabric of reality. Sometime after the war, God had created the first beasts, the Leviathans, but he saw that the Leviathans would be a threat to his creations, so he locked them away in a monster realm known as Purgatory. He created Heaven, where he and his archangels resided. He then created the classes of angels such as Seraphim, Grigori, normal Angels, Rit Zien, and Cherubim. He then selected Metatron to take down his word in various tablets.

Soon after, God created the Earth, which was, according to Lucifer, "The last perfect handiwork of God", and then he created humans. According to Metatron, God personally assigned Gadreel to protect his cherished creations in the "garden". He then asked all the angels to bow down to humans and present more compassion toward them than to him.

Lucifer, however, disobeyed his order and rebelled. God ordered Michael to cast Lucifer into Hell, creating a cage to hold him and making it impossible for the archangel to escape, save for the 66 Seals, rings of the four Horsemen, or a powerful spell that would allow him to possess a vessel. God then had Gadreel locked away in the dungeons of Heaven for his failure, and left Heaven out of sheer disappointment in his creations.

Season 4

Chuck writing the Winchester Gospel.

God returned to Earth, and disguised himself as a prophet named Chuck. In this form, he was the author of the not-so-popular series "Supernatural". Sam and Dean Winchester discover him when they are assumed to be LARPing (Live Action Role Playing), and discover that the series includes every detail of their lives up to when Dean goes to Hell. They then find out that Chuck is writing his next book and go to see him - when they introduce themselves as Sam and Dean, Chuck shuts the door on them. The Winchesters demand how Chuck knows about their lives, eventually convincing him when they tell him their last names, something he had never told anyone. Chuck then begins to apologize for what they've been through, believing himself to be a god who forced those things to happen to them; Dean and Sam eventually convince him otherwise, but are still unsure on how Chuck is tuned in to their lives. Chuck reveals that he had actually never stopped writing and just wrote himself into the story, and after getting a vision of Sam and Lilith, together, he calls the Winchesters and gives them the script of his latest unpublished book, which describes what he has seen of the upcoming Apocalypse.

Later, Sam calls Chuck to the motel to see if he knows about the demon blood, which Chuck confirms, telling Sam that the story looks like everything will rest on Sam's shoulders. After Dean's failed attempts to stop Chuck's story, he confronts Chuck about it, and ends up threatening him. Castiel appears, stopping him, and tells Dean that Chuck is a prophet of the Lord - Chuck admits to dreaming about it, but hadn't thought it was real. Later, Castiel reveals to Dean that all prophets have archangels tied to them, giving Dean the idea of bringing Chuck to their motel room to stop Lilith and Sam; when he does, Chuck's archangel, Raphael, descends to protect him, forcing Lilith to flee. After Sam and Dean leave, Chuck has a vision which he rushes to tell the boys but is stopped by Zachariah.

Castiel and Chuck wait for the Archangel.

Chuck finished his manuscript page of "Supernatural - Lucifer Rising", and is seen ordering some girls for the night on the phone. He hangs up when he sees Castiel and Dean popping into his house, and is shocked, as he hadn't foreseen what was happening. Dean looks over the story for Sam's location and discovers he's at St. Mary's Convent; Chuck tells them this is not what's supposed to happen and is told they're making it up as they go. Raphael then arrives, forcing Castiel to send Dean alone to stop Sam; as Castiel waits for the archangel to appear, Chuck puts his hand on Castiel's shoulder.

Season 5

When Dean and Sam go to Chuck's house to find Castiel, Chuck attacks Sam with a plunger; he is amazed to see that Sam is alright, as in his last vision, Sam went "full on Vader" and his eyes turned black like a demon. Dean then asks Chuck where Castiel is, and the prophet tells them that the archangel destroyed him. While Dean and Sam are talking, Chuck interrupts them saying that he can hear the angels talk, and Zachariah and two other angels then teleport inside Chuck's home. Zachariah attempts to get Dean to come with them after explaining that they need to strike now before Lucifer finds his vessel, but Dean refuses and banishes the three angels using a blood seal.

Chuck contacts Becky Rosen

Later, Chuck is seen speaking with Becky Rosen through a video web chat. He tells her that everything in his books is real and that he needs her to give Dean and Sam a message since he is being watched. When Becky finds the brothers, she tells them that Chuck's message is that he had a vision that Michael's sword is on Earth and that the angels lost it. Sam asks if Chuck knew where it was, but Becky says it's in a castle on top of a hill made up of 42 dogs, which made no sense to them. Dean later figured out that Chuck was referring to a business card his father had for Castle Storage in upstate New York on 42 Rover Hill. When Zachariah has them in a trap, God resurrects Castiel to help.

Chuck with Dean in the future.

Chuck was also a part of Future Dean's army. He first appears asking past Dean about supplies, and then later when future and past Dean are in the same room discussing plans. As the group heads out to fight against Lucifer, Chuck tells past Dean to hoard toilet paper, as it'll come in handy when companies stop producing it.

Chuck speaks at a Supernatural convention.

Becky stole Chuck's phone to trick Sam and Dean into coming to a Supernatural convention. There, Chuck is a guest speaker and answers question about his novel, much to Sam and Dean's displeasure. Chuck is also crushing on Becky, who at the moment is crushing on Sam. Chuck also reveals at the convention that "Supernatural" will start publishing again. Sam and Dean try talk Chuck out of it, and Chuck responds by telling them he makes his living by writing these stories. Then it just so happens that the hotel is really haunted and Sam and Dean work to get rid of it; while Sam and Dean work, Chuck distracts everyone in the main hall from the fact there is really ghosts in the hotel. When the hotel manager gets annoyed, he attempts to leave and breaks the line of salt, forcing Chuck to use the mic stand to disperse the ghost. This impresses Becky and later on in the episode she 'breaks it off' with Sam.

Chuck disappears after completing the manuscript

Chuck narrated the story of the Winchesters' Impala; its history, and what it meant to Sam and Dean versus anyone else. Dean calls Chuck for the location of the final showdown of Lucifer and Michael, and despite the angels not wanting Chuck to see it, he tells Dean it'll be at noon in Stull Cemetery near Lawrence, Kansas. At the end of the episode, Chuck finishes his story and vanishes from his chair. Beforehand, as God, Chuck resurrected Castiel once again, upgrading him to the rank of Seraphim.

Season 7

Chuck was mentioned by Dean, who initially forgot the prophet's name. Becky also mentions Chuck breaking up with her when trying to make Sam her lover.

After Castiel's death, God resurrected him again though without his memories. Castiel speculated that this was a punishment for his actions rather than a reward like before.

Season 8

After Kevin Tran became a prophet, Sam asks what happened to Chuck, and Castiel admits that he is most likely dead; he wasn't able to find him or determine what happened to him, but there can only be one prophet at a time so Chuck must have died in order for Kevin to become a prophet. Charlie Bradbury later reveals that all of his books are now on the Internet.

Season 9

Becky Rosen was mentioned to have posted all of Chuck's unpublished works to the Internet as well as the published ones.

Metatron mentioned how he has read Chuck's books and threw a copy of Tall Tales into the fireplace. Although he found them distasteful, they gave him the idea to persuade Castiel to be the leader of the rebellious angels with the help of the archangel Gabriel. A copy of A Very Supernatural Christmas can also be seen on Metatron's desk.

Season 10

Chuck returns.

Marie made a play based on Chuck's books, which Calliope attacked. After the play, Chuck appeared at the theater claiming the ticket that Marie left for "the publisher." When asked by Marie what he thought of the play, despite its problems, he replied with a "Not bad."

Castiel reveals at one point that when God brought him back, he did not resurrect Jimmy Novak.

In Brother's Keeper, Death revealed that before Creation, there was The Darkness, a "horribly destructive, amoral force" that God and his archangels went to war with. After they defeated the Darkness, God trapped it and created the Mark of Cain as the lock on its prison. As long as someone had the Mark, the Darkness would remain locked up. God gave the Mark to his trusted lieutenant, Lucifer, and it corrupted him into being jealous of humanity, forcing God to have Michael banish him into Hell.

Season 11

“	God is a master strategist	”
	— Lucifer in O Brother, Where Art Thou?

In O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Amara tried to find her younger brother to settle their old score. To upset her brother, she killed some of his favorite creations, humans. She demanded he show himself, and even tried to reach him through prayer which proved unsuccessful. She eventually met Dean since those killings caught his attention. The Darkness teleports herself and Dean away and explains that she has no problem with his brother's creation at all. She accuses him of spreading lies about her after she had been sealed away. Amara claims that her brother sealed her away because he feared that her creations might turn out to be better than his own.

Meanwhile, Sam meets Lucifer in Hell to ask him for help in their fight against the Darkness. Lucifer mentions that The Darkness is equal to God in raw power, but Amara lacks strategy and experience while he describes God as a master strategist.

God reveals himself.

In Don't Call Me Shurley, God transports Metatron and his new pet dog to the "safest place ever created", which is a bar. At first, Metatron speaks to him as if he were simply Chuck Shurley, only to take back much of what he said when God reveals his true form.

This surprise encounter leaves Metatron practically speechless. God reveals he now has Dean's amulet and that the reason no one was able to detect him was because he chose not to be found. He was also aware of the many things Metatron did, like burning one of his books, by being nigh-omniscient.

God, or by his preferred name "Chuck", requests Metatron to team up with him again to write a book, specifically an auto-biography. At first, Metatron is excited, but soon realizes a lot of it is poorly written and that God has chosen not to interfere with the current state of the world due to laziness and irresponsibility. He correctly deduces that God had begun writing his book when The Darkness was unleashed.

When Metatron berates God, calling him a "coward", Chuck throws him out the bar, to which Metatron comments that he is being his old self again. Chuck/God tries to get Metatron to understand how enjoyable life as Chuck was, and although he loves the Winchesters, he is tired and is willing to let his sister shine.

The amulet starts to glow.

Metatron does eventually manage to convince his father that by giving up, he is worse than humanity; for all their flaws, they never give up. Finally realizing his own error, God disperses the fog unleashed by Amara, cures all the infected humans and resurrects those who died during the crisis. He also gives back Dean's amulet, who uses it to find Chuck standing in the middle of the road, admitting that they need to talk.

God then teleports himself and the Winchesters to the Bunker, where the brothers discover Kevin, who had been stuck in the Veil all along. To prove his identity, God sends Kevin's soul up into Heaven, where it belongs.

God and the Winchesters later spend time opening up to one another, with Sam showing delight and Dean showing frustration at the lack of intervention on God's part. God explains that although he understands, he had been "hands-on" for "ages", which he called "enabling", but nothing changed, so he chose to step back, and let his creations find their way.

When the brothers brought up Lucifer, God showed disinterest in saving him despite knowing his sister had him. This caused discomfort for Sam and Dean, who later learn from Metatron that God had, before meeting them, planned on sacrificing himself to the Darkness to give humanity a chance.

Dean confronts God on his decision.

Dean decides to confront God on his decision. They meet at a park where kids are playing in a sandbox. God admits that he is planning to let the "chosen ones" deal with Amara, and explains that this is the reason he saved Dean "all those years ago". Dean argues that it is up to God to fight his sister, as the task is too big for him. Their conversation ultimately convinces God to change his plans.

Later, during the rescue mission of Lucifer, Sam and the Impala gets caught by Amara while transporting a badly wounded Lucifer and the prophet Donatello back to the Bunker. Before an enraged Amara can harm them, God teleports the entire vehicle to the inside of the Bunker, thus saving everyone.

When the trio arrived at the main room, God greets them saying that he does occasionally "answer a prayer". This is when God meets Lucifer for the first time since he ordered his imprisonment in the Cage eons ago. They greet each other by admitting how the other person has changed, though God notes that he himself is "pretty much the same". He then heals Lucifer and his vessel of all the wounds dealt upon him by Amara.

While Dean and Sam are out, God has a chat with Lucifer, which escalates to Lucifer getting angry at God for "not saying it". God tells the Winchesters that Lucifer wants an apology, but God doesn't feel sorry for what he did. Upon being reminded the importance of God and Lucifer working together, God agrees to have a proper chat with Lucifer.

Lucifer confronts God on his actions.

At first, God's apology comes out as unsatisfactory. God tries to remind Lucifer the necessity of his punishment, how it was for the sake of God's creations. Lucifer argues, saying that God had given him the Mark and didn't take responsibility when it corrupted him. God sends Sam and Dean away and starts apologizing to Lucifer properly, admitting that Lucifer was indeed his favorite son and he was wrong to put the blame on him.

Reconciled, God and Lucifer join Sam and Dean to formulate a plan on how to defeat Amara. God admits that it would take more time than they had to resurrect Gabriel and Raphael, and Michael was in no shape to fight. So they gather demons, angels and witches to substitute the three archangels.

The team meet up at a warehouse, outside of which Amara will be attacked by their new army. Amara eventually stumbles in heavily wounded, and gets further wounded by Lucifer's spear. God and Amara have a talk, with Amara accusing God of thinking only of his ego and not considering her needs. Though sympathetic, God chooses to lock her away and begins handing the Mark to Sam, but Amara interrupts in a fit of rage and attacks God and Lucifer, expelling the latter from his vessel and nearly killing the former.

God is left unconscious and slowly dying on the floor, while Amara leaves, promising he will live to see the destruction of all his creations.

Shortly after, God is woken by Sam and admits that Amara is right, he is fatally wounded and only Amara could possibly heal what was done to him. God teleports the Winchesters, Crowley and Rowena back to the Bunker after they see the sun is going out and admits that a massive amount of light could potentially kill the Darkness and even the imbalance created by him dying.

The Darkness and God leave the earth.

After preparing a soul bomb, God teleports Dean to Amara's location and sits in a bar with Castiel, Crowley, Rowena and Sam waiting for the end as he grows ever weaker. After Sam turns his back, God is teleported by Amara to her location where Dean has convinced her that her revenge isn't worth it. Amara admits to God that his creations are beautiful and she had grown jealous when, after so long of it being just the two of them, he created other things. Amara asks for God's forgiveness and to have her brother back and God grants it. Amara heals God of the injuries she inflicted upon him, repairing the damage she did to the universe.

After being healed, God removes the soul bomb from Dean and tells Dean that he and Amara are leaving the Earth to work out their differences for real. God tells Dean he's leaving the safety of the Earth to him and after Amara promises a thank you gift for Dean, he turns into a stream of light and ascends into the sky with his sister who turns into a stream of darkness.

Personality

Unlike what many humans believe, God has stated that he rarely answers any prayers and, in fact, avoids intervening as much as possible. He said that he used to being very hands-on with humanity, but found that it only made things worse, so he stepped back. He feels that, over time, it made things better.

He also revealed that Amara was partially correct: he created the Universe for self-aggrandizement, as he and his sister weren't powerful because they were equals, and he wanted to be big, so he created lesser beings. However, he was also lonely, as his sister is "nothingness", whereas he is "being". He also said there was something - grace, being - that was already there, waiting to be born, just like he and his sister were already there, and that there is grace in creation. God also created things because he had hoped that by showing his sister there could be something more; something better than themselves, he could change her (which he later deemed as stupidity and naivete on his part), but she destroyed everything he created, until he and the archangels were forced to lock her away so he could create.

He considers his creations to be experiments, saying he's tired of watching their failures and irresponsibility. When Metatron saw his true visage and bowed before him, before cynically apologizing for the insults he'd given only moments before, God pulled him up, saying that kind of behavior had always made him feel uncomfortable, and asks Metatron to call him "Chuck" instead of "the G-word" (God). God has also revealed that he abandoned the angels and humanity because they'd disappointed him.

Like Death, God seems to have a taste for what Dean calls "cheap food".

Characteristics

While his older sister Amara is darkness and nothingness, God represents light and being. He is one of the two fundamental components of reality itself, the other one is his sister. If one of them die, reality would cease to exist.

Physical Appearance

God pretending to be the prophet Chuck

God's true visage has only been seen by few beings, but it appears to be similar to the appearance of an angel's grace - a blinding white light - though it has no ill-effects on humans. As his older sister, Amara has seen God, as well as the Horseman Death, as they have existed alongside God since nearly the beginning of time. Anna once mentioned that, out of all the Host of Heaven, only four of them have seen God. It is later revealed that Metatron has also seen God, while writing down his Word. Metatron also hinted that the angel Gadreel, as God's most trusted angel, has seen God, as Metatron said, "You were God's most trusted. That's why he chose you to protect the garden."

When God wanted to physically communicate with Sam and Dean, he took the form of a human and pretended to be a prophet named Chuck Shurley.

Powers and Abilities

As one of the most powerful beings in the universe, God possesses immense supernatural power.

• Nigh-Omnipotence - As put by Lucifer, "No one makes dad do anything." Even when Castiel was powered by 30-40+ million souls from Purgatory, Death claimed that he was still no God. The immensity of his power is shown by his ability to create multiple planes of existence, including Hell, Heaven, Purgatory and the whole physical universe with billions of galaxies. Castiel also said that God is "strong enough to take on Lucifer -- strong enough to stop The Apocalypse" The individual powers he showed include but are not limited to:

  

  Heaven, one of his creations

  • Reality Warping - His power is so great that reality shapes itself according to his will. God was even able to undo the havoc caused by Amara in a particular case, by suppressing her infectious fog and resurrecting everybody who had died because of her influence. If God or his sister die, reality itself will cease to exist.
  • Supernatural Concealment - While taking the form of Chuck, God was able to conceal himself from the Angels. He was also able to conceal himself from the necklace that apparently burns hot in his presence. It has also been shown that The Darkness cannot find him.
  • Conjuration - He created leviathans, angels, humans, as well as Earth, Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory. Prior to the creation of the current universe, God created other worlds, but Amara always destroyed them.
  • Apporting - God is able to teleport anyone anywhere he wants. For instance, he teleported Dean and Sam out of Lucifer's presence, and onto an airplane. God also teleported his amulet back to the Winchesters in order to help them find him. God was later able to teleport himself and the Winchesters to the Bunker with a snap of his fingers and the Impala into the Bunker and away from Amara with no apparent effort.
  • Resurrection - God can bring anyone or anything back to life. Due to his lack of interaction or intervention, however, he does not do this often. He also "rebuilt" Castiel several times. However, he states rebuilding Archangels takes some time, as they're "the stuff of primordial creation".
  • Power Granting - When God resurrected Castiel for the second time, he granted him greater powers and promoted him to the rank of a Seraph. By touching certain objects, he created the Hands of God, which are powerful enough to at least harm an archangel with a single blow. He also gave himself the ability to play the guitar and speak French.
  • Advanced Healing - God possesses the ability to heal any type of ailment. He displays this power by cleansing Sam of the demon blood that he consumed. Unlike most angels, who cannot heal all ailments, his healing powers are so strong that even heal the most serious of damages, caused by any primordial being. He also cleaned an entire town of a Rabid infection. With a simple finger movement, God healed Lucifer of the extensive injuries inflicted upon him by Amara.
  • Memory Manipulation - When he resurrected Castiel the third time, he suppressed his memories, albeit temporarily.
  • Telekinesis - When angered, God telekinetically threw Metatron through the doors of his bar.
  • Soul Control - As the creator of souls, God has a certain level of control over them. He was able to summon the ghost of Kevin Tran to him without visible effort and with a wave of his hand, ascend his soul into Heaven.
  • Power Negation - Chuck was able to render Lucifer powerless as a "safeguard" against him harming anybody.
• Nigh-Omniscience - Existing for billions of years, God possesses great wisdom and understanding about the universe he made. Metatron said that God sees everything that happens on Earth. However, God does not know everything, as Death stated neither one knew who was older. God has even done things he himself considers "stupid" and "naive", and admits even he couldn't have come up with nacho cheese. He also had to give himself the ability to play guitar and speak French, as he didn't know how to do either one.
• Immortality - God, as being one of the first supernatural entities to exist, is immortal. Age, as well as any disease and weapon, are powerless against him. However, Death stated he can die, and Amara managed to fatally wound him where he was about to die after less than a day, before she healed him.
• Universal Awareness - As Metatron said, God can hear and see all.
• Mandatory Existence - God's existence is one of two that provides balance to reality, the other being The Darkness. As Chuck put it, "Light needs Dark", and "Dark needs Light". If he is killed, reality itself will end. It was said that if both God and Amara were to die, a new balance would be established.

Weaknesses

Even though God is one of the most powerful supernatural beings in the Universe, even he has weaknesses of his own.

Harming and Trapping

• The Darkness - Being his older sister and equal to him in power, Amara is able to defeat God. She describes herself as being mightier than him, and God admits he and his archangels "barely" managed to lock her away. God believes that, were he to surrender to her, she would trap him, rather than kill him, and Lucifer has stated that Amara may very well defeat him.

Amara overpowers God.

Killing

• Death - Death has said he would be the one who would reap God at the end of time.
• The Darkness - Amara overpowered God when he tried to use the Mark of Cain to re-imprison her, and then fatally wounded him.
• Mandatory Existence Compromised - If the Darkness were to be killed, the imbalance would also result in the death of God due to the destruction of reality itself.

• God has a name which demons hate, Christo.
• In Road Trip it is revealed that God left Heaven due to Gadreel failing in his task to protect the Garden of Eden from evil.
• It is implied by Joshua that God will return to Heaven eventually. However, no one knows when, if at all, he will do so.
• Although God's appearances since his introduction in season 4 have been scarce, he has been mentioned many times, by several characters, since the beginning of the series.
• In Don't Call Me Shurley, it is revealed the God was in fact disguised as Chuck, a Prophet of the Lord, so he could get a "front row seat".
• In Don't Call Me Shurley, it was revealed that God is bisexual.
• In Don't Call Me Shurley, Chuck confirms he is the one who has resurrected Castiel several times. He tells Metatron that he's "rebuilt Castiel more times than I can count".
• In Don't Call Me Shurley, God told Metatron that inventing/creating the souls made him feel nauseous.
• In Don't Call Me Shurley, God reveals that he left Heaven because he was disappointed by all of his creations.
• In All in the Family, God uses his powers with finger movements such as snapping or waving his fingers. Metatron also referred to this sarcastically when talking about how people envision God.
• God regarding his creations as experiments is alluded to by Death in season 7. When speaking of the Leviathans, Death says God was worried they'd "chomp the entire petri dish" (a petri dish is a piece of equipment most often used in biological experiments).
