“ My plans for you, Sammy. You... and all the children like you. ”

Special Children refers to children to whom Azazel fed his blood when they were babies, having snuck into their homes after making a deal with their parents.

The result was that the blood caused the children to develop supernatural abilities in them so they could serve as generals in Lucifer's army against humanity and God. These abilities could be strengthened by the consumption of demon blood.

Around Season 2, Azazel wanted to test these children to find who would be the strongest, so he put them in an abandoned town called Cold Oak and told them only one could survive. This eventually triggered a competition amongst the Children. Azazel led everyone to believe that he wanted a leader for his demon army.

However, as it was later revealed, the endgame was bigger than just leading a demon army. Azazel chose the children because they were all potential vessels for Lucifer. The strongest one would be chosen to contain Lucifer throughout the Apocalypse. Sam Winchester was the sole survivor and so, despite his greatest efforts, was taken over by Lucifer both as a result of being a Special Child and also because of his predetermined destiny as Lucifer's true vessel.

History

In 1972, the Prince of Hell Azazel slaughtered a church of nuns and contacted Lucifer. The Archangel told Azazel to free him from his cage, Lilith was needed to be freed from her imprisonment since she was needed to break the 66 Seals holding Lucifer captive, and also tasks him with finding the strongest "special child".[1]

Obeying Lucifer's command, Azazel began making demonic pacts with young individuals - specifically young women - in exchange for a wish: that he would be allowed to enter their homes exactly ten years from when they made the bargain. He promised that no harm would come to them as long as they did not interfere with his business. Azazel found Mary Campbell and killed her parents along with her boyfriend John Winchester. Azazel made a deal with her that he resurrect John if she let him enter house in ten years, she complied and the deal was made.[2]

Before the events of the Pilot, Azazel snuck into the Winchester's home to feed Sam Winchester demon blood. This was because of the deal Mary Winchester made with Azazel many years before to bring her as of then boyfriend John Winchester back to life. However, Mary walked in on Azazel feeding Sam his blood and tried to stop him, but Azazel telekinetically pinned her to the ceiling and burned her alive. John walked in just in time to save Sam, but was too late to see who or what killed Mary.

Much later, the Special Children would gain several demonic powers as they aged but some were ostracized for their powers while the others used to get revenge on those who wrong them. Azazel went onto hold the Special Children Competition and brought many of the special children to him and had them fight to the death. Azazel led everyone to believe that he wanted a leader for his demon army. Many of the Special Children used their abilities in the fights and most were killed, with Jake Talley being the sole survivor after he killed Sam and Azazel tasked Jake with using the Colt and open the Devil's Gate.

Meanwhile, Sam's brother Dean Winchester made a deal with a Crossroad Demon and brought Sam back to life. The Winchesters gathered allies to stop Jake but he succeeded in opening the gate though not before he lost his life to Sam. The creator of the special children Azazel would lose his own life at Dean's hand but his mission was completed and Lilith was freed. Sam was the only Special Child left and he was also destined to be the true vessel of Lucifer.

After Lilith killed Dean, she sent her servant Ruby to pretend to side with Sam and get him addicted to demon blood and teach him to master his powers to host Lucifer.

Dean was sent back in time where he confronted Azazel who revealed the true details of creating the Special Children was for a bigger goal.

After Sam killed Lilith, Ruby revealed that Lucifer will reward him in many ways before she was killed. Lucifer later made contact with Sam by telling that he was always the one to be possessed. After Sam was possessed, Lucifer revealed that Azazel had spies that played a part in his life.

After wounding God with the Equalizer, Sam witnessed God's memory of an alternate reality where his alternate self gave into his demon blood addiction and became the leader of a demon army. This Sam killed his brother Dean when Dean and a group of hunters, including Benny, tried to stop him.
