Inias is an angel from Castiel's old garrison. He and Hester both were at the top of their garrison hierarchy, directly subordinate to Castiel who was their Captain. After the civil war in Heaven, Inias and Hester took command of the remaining angels, including the newly awakened prophet's escort angels.
History
Season 7
Inias descends to Earth alongside Hester to secure the new prophet, Kevin Tran. He attacks the demon Meg who is harboring Kevin and Inias' former captain; Castiel. Meg retaliates by slicing Inias' hand with an angel blade, giving him and Hester pause. Castiel appears and attempts to calm his former comrades.
Inias is glad to see his old friend again, but Hester becomes aggressive when she realises Castiel has lost his mind; the result of absorbing Sam's torment. Before they can seize Kevin, however, Dean uses an Angel Banishing Sigil to send the angels away.
Inias later appears at Rufus Turner's cabin with Hester and other unnamed angels for backup where they confront the Castiel and the Winchesters once more. Inias seeks a peaceful resolution but Hester loses her temper and beats Castiel before threatening him with her blade. Inias begs her to spare Castiel, stating that they've lost enough angels already. Hester, however, knocks him aside and moves in to kill Castiel. Suddenly, Meg attacks from behind and kills Hester before she can kill Castiel. With Hester dead, Inias and the other angels stand down.
Castiel with Inias
Later, Winchesters allow Inias and the angels to take Kevin once he has deciphered the stone tablet containing the Word of God. Inias remarks to Castiel that they live in strange times. He then asks Castiel to join them, but the fallen angel politely declines. Inias then leaves with Kevin, but is not seen with the other two angels when they visit Kevin's parents and are subsequently killed by the Leviathan Edgar waiting there.
Later, Castiel states that all the angels in his Garrison are either dead or have gone into hiding. Inias is not mentioned, so his exact status is unknown. Assuming he is still alive, it is possible that, in the wake of Hester's death, Inias is now the current leader of the angels.

- In Folklore, Inias is one of the angels who were officially removed from the list of honored angels recognized by the Christian Church at a council in Rome in 745.
