In 2016, Asa and his best friend [[Bucky Sims]] hunt Jael again through the woods, but get into a fight leaving Asa dead. Jael is left enraged that he didn't get to kill Asa himself and attends Asa's wake to kill the hunters gathered there and get revenge on Bucky. At the wake, Jael possessed [[Alicia Banes]] and used her to slit the throat of a hunter Randy before warding the house, trapping everyone inside and [[Dean Winchester|Dean]] outside and shutting down the water in the house so no one can make [[holy water]].

Jael is a Crossroad Demon who was the mortal enemy of a hunter named Asa Fox.

History

In 1997, Jael possessed a First Nations Native American girl before being tracked down by hunter Asa Fox. Asa performed an exorcism, ultimately sending Jael back to Hell but not before he forced the girl to commit suicide. In 2002, Jael was able to return from Hell, enraged that he had been exorcised by Asa. At that point, Asa was seeing a woman with a kid named Marlene and Jael possessed her before murdering her and her kid.

In 2016, Asa and his best friend Bucky Sims hunt Jael again through the woods, but get into a fight leaving Asa dead. Jael is left enraged that he didn't get to kill Asa himself and attends Asa's wake to kill the hunters gathered there and get revenge on Bucky. At the wake, Jael possessed Alicia Banes and used her to slit the throat of a hunter named Randy before warding the house, trapping everyone inside and Dean outside and shutting down the water in the house so no one can make holy water. After Jael's presence in the house is revealed, he exposes himself as possessing Alicia to the group and taunts them before vacating her body. Next, Jael possesses Elvis Katz and attempts to kill Dean. However, Jael proves to be a poor fighter and is easily outmatched by Dean. Dean starts an exorcism but Jael snaps Elvis' neck 180 degrees before vacating his body before Dean can finish. He then knocks out the power to the house.

Next, Jael possesses Jody Mills and attempts to get the hunters to kill Mary Winchester by pretending Mary is the one possessed. However, the Winchesters see through Jael's trick and he drops the act. The Winchesters all try to attack Jael, but he defeats all three of them before pinning all of the hunters to the ground with telekinesis. Jael then takes great pleasure in exposing everyone's secrets that he has pulled from their heads. When Bucky tries to stand up to him, Jael turns his full attention on the hunter, unintentionally letting go of his grip on the others. Jael demands that Bucky tell the others the truth before Sam starts an exorcism. Jael quickly flings Sam into a bookshelf to stop him, but Dean picks up where Sam left off before he's flung through a glass door. As Jael continues to demand Bucky tell everyone the truth, Alicia and Max pick up the exorcism before Jael stops them as well. Bucky finally admits that he killed Asa and as Jael is distracted with the triumph of it, Mary finishes the exorcism. Jael is expelled from Jody and burns a hole through the floor as he's sent back to Hell. Jody survives the exorcism and tells Sam that the possession sucked.
