— Mr. Pendleton to Crowley
in Abandon All Hope... | ||
Mr. Pendleton was a human man whom sold his soul to the Crossroad Demon named Crowley in November of 2009.
Background[]
Mr. Pendleton and Crowley seal the deal.
Prior to November 19, 2009, Mr. Pendleton's bank found itself in a distressing financial status, the latter discovered a way to restore it that included selling his soul to a Crossroads Demon. At first, he was approached by a crossroad demon in a female vessel who confessed to Mr. Pendleton that the deal would be sealed with a kiss which pleased the struggling man.
On the 19th, Mr. Pendleton made his way to a secluded area where he dug a hole and placed a picture of himself before covering it up which summoned Crowley. Surprised, Mr. Pendleton questioned the former on why he had shown and not the lady who had appeared before though Crowley insisted he came due to Mr. Pendleton being what he considered a big fish, claiming he wanted the honor of sealing the deal.
When Mr. Pendleton showed reluctance and hesitation to seal the deal with a kiss due to his homophobia, Crowley was able to convince him to still go through with the deal and gave him until the count of three before the two kissed, sealing Mr. Pendleton's fate and completing the deal. Crowley then claimed the two would meet again ten years later when the deal would come to an end.
A decade later on the 19th of November 2019, the deal was over and Mr. Pendleton's soul was dragged to Hell by a Hellhound. Upon being sent to Hell, Mr. Pendleton did not re-encounter the crossroad demon he had met before due to Crowley dying in 2017 when the latter had sacrificed himself in closing the gateway in an alternate universe.

Trivia[]
- It was implied that if the contract holder is killed that the signator's debt is voided, which is possible because Dean and Bobby thought if they killed the contractors (Lilith and Crowley) of their deals that the terms would be nullified.
- He is presumed to be around late sixties to early seventies as implied by Crowley who told Mr. Pendleton he could stick to six decades of homophobia instead of helping his bank.
