The main characters of the series are Dean and Sam Winchester, played by Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, respectively. In season 5, another important character appears in the series - an angel named Castiel, whose role is played by Misha Collins.

About the series

The brothers' mother died under strange circumstances, after which their father, John, began to fight evil spirits. The brothers also begin to do the same, becoming older. At some point, John disappears, and the sons rush to find him.

Despite their shared activities, Sam and Dean are completely different. Dean is the older brother, more cold-blooded and capable of killing if the situation calls for it. Sam, being a younger brother who was saved by an older brother as a child, is quite soft, opposes aggression and, of course, murder.

Archangels in Supernatural

Archangels occupy a separate place in the series. They are the messengers of God. They have their own characteristics, for example, each of them can find a vessel that a person serves. But their specificitylies in the fact that not all people can become the vessels needed by the archangels, because the body of an ordinary person is not able to withstand the full power of the archangels. That is why the elder angels are looking for the descendants of certain people, such as the descendants of the sons of Adam (Abel and Cain).

Another ability is invulnerability. It is known that only Death, God or Darkness can kill the archangel from living beings. In addition to them, there is a list of artifacts that can seriously injure or even kill the archangel, these include the sickle of Death, holy oil and the blade of the archangel. It should be borne in mind that the messenger of God can only be killed by the same messenger.

Who is the archangel?

Due to the fact that the archangels in the Supernatural series are the children of God, his first "creations", there are not so many of them. They raised each other, loved their father and ordinary angels, their followers. It was to the love of God that they were taught. Archangels were created by God in order to fight his sister - Darkness. After he won, he handed over the key to the place of imprisonment to his beloved archangel - Lucifer.

The eldest of all the archangels is Michael, it was he who was the first creation of God. In addition, only Mikhail had the ability to use the vessel without killing him in the process. It is worth considering that later Michael and Lucifer, whom he loved very much, had conflicts, after which Michael expelled him from Heaven. Some time later, the eldest of the archangels was imprisoned in the cage of Lucifer.

Lucifer is a fallen angel, he created demons. The first demon was Lilith - the first man. Lucifer seduced her to avenge her expulsion from Heaven. He used Castiel as a vessel (however, he was banished by Amara). Lucifer was later killed by Dean Winchester.

Another archangel in Supernatural is Raphael. After God left the archangels, Raphael and Michael took all power into their own hands. After Mikhail was imprisoned in a cage, Raphael "inherited" all power and became Mikhail's deputy. Raphael died at the hands of Castiel, who mutated before that.

The last name of the archangel from "Supernatural" is Gabriel. He is the younger brother of two warring personalities - Lucifer and Michael. During the so-called civil war in Heaven, Gabriel fled to Earth so as not to choose the side of one of his older brothers. Everyone assumed that Lucifer killed Gabriel on Earth, but later it became known that the younger brother still survived. Gabriel died while fighting the alternate universe Michael.

Another archangel from the series is Michael, but he is from an alternate reality. An alternate universe is a reality in which the apocalypse took place. The " alternative" Michael ruled his own universe, and later, having learned about the existence of another, he decided to capture it too. In this he was helped by one of the main characters - Dean Winchester. Dean became Michael's temporary vessel and killed Lucifer,and Michael took a new "permanent" vessel.

Archangel Blade in Supernatural

The blade is an item that is one of the most powerful things in the universe, but only in the hands of an archangel. It is also called the sword of the archangel. He first appears in episode 19 of season 5 - Gabriel dies from him. Throughout the series, not all swords are shown, but only a few of them: Raphael, Gabriel, Lucifer, as well as an alternative Michael.
