Who is killing the angels in supernatural

Sent to watch over and observe humanity, Akobel became fascinated with them and married one. Akobel and his wife Lily Sunder were hunted by a garrison of angels led by Ishim, who had convinced the garrison that Lily's daughter was a Nephilim and must die; this was a lie. Akobel's power was never really shown, but it was definitely implied he was strong, and the fact he was a Seraph proves that. Speaking of Ishim, he was no run-of-the-mill angel. He was not a Seraph, but he was a high-ranking, highly powerful angel with both strength and influence as a leader.

Ishim became obsessed with Akobel's wife Lily before she and Akobel wed, leading to him convincing his garrison to kill her child, who was simply a human girl. Ishim was cruel, punchable, but also a respected warrior, and a powerful one at that. Virgil is not an angel name that immediately springs to the minds of fans, but he has a crucial part to play in one of Supernatural's best-ever episodes, 'The French Mistake.

Virgil was a high-class angel who held a vital role for thousands of years, the keeper of heaven's weapons. When Balthazar stole the weapons, Virgil tracked Sam and Dean to the alternate universe, where he got trapped and presumably killed by God. Nevertheless, he was a powerful, respected angel with a crucial role in heaven. After Uriel, the next big angel bad introduced for Supernatural fans to despise was Zachariah, a significant yes-man angel who played a crucial role in orchestrating the apocalypse Sam and Dean were trying to prevent.

Zachariah was a direct subordinate of the archangels and was one of the most well-respected angels in all of heaven. He showcased his immense power over the likes of humans and demons multiple times, as well as the level of power he held above angels like Castiel at the time of seasons four and five, and as well as being one of the most powerful Kripke-era angels; he was one of the best angel characters of the show.

Gadreel, who originally claimed to be the revered angel Ezekiel, was one of the most vilified and hated angels in heaven for his role in Lucifer entering the Garden of Eden. However, despite Lucifer's seduction, Gadreel was still powerful. To realize how powerful Gadreel was, one only needs to think about the fact that Lucifer, one of the most powerful beings in his universe, chose to trick Gadreel rather than go through him with force to enter the garden.

Gadreel also showed himself able to take out groups of angels at once when at full strength and groups of demons in a weakened state. Boss of Castiel and Uriel at one point, Anna was a pretty high-ranking angel who fell and lost her Grace. She was determined to rebel against Heaven but still much more focused on the greater good than the more emotional angels such as what Castiel eventually became.

She was also one of the few angels with no vessel; her body was her own. Cas is eventually reinstated after the imprisonment of Lucifer and Michael with even greater power, but his subsequent partnership with Crowley , his brief reign as the ruler of Heaven, and the insanity resulting from his efforts to help Sam cause Hester to describe him as "fallen in every way" and he was classed as a fallen angel, though he still retains his angelic powers.

As such, he is able to give his blood to Sam and Dean to create a weapon against leviathans when the blood of a fallen angel is needed. To create a spell in order to expel all the angels from Heaven , Metatron takes Castiel's grace , and sends him to Earth as a human.

He steals the grace of Theo and later Adina to become an angel again, but eventually regains his own grace and full powers. The angels lose their wings as they fall to Earth, and are no longer able to teleport. They do retain varying degrees of angelic power, although many like the real Ezekiel were killed when they fell. The archangels are the only ones unaffected by the spell as they still bear their wings.

Uriel supported the release of Lucifer, but this was either overlooked by or hidden from his superiors. He is eventually killed by Anna. Gabriel voluntarily exiles himself from Heaven and retreats to Earth. He says that he grew tired of the warring between the other archangels. He is killed by Michael after keeping him from crossing the rift. Balthazar is another voluntary exile, who stole weapons from Heaven when left. He hides on Earth, but eventually rejoins the angels for a time to fight with Castiel against Raphael.

Castiel eventually kills him after discovering he betrayed him to the Winchesters. Metatron is the Scribe of God. Despite being believed by many to be an archangel , he is in actuality just a regular angel from the secretarial pool assigned by God to take down the Word before he left Heaven. After learning of the archangels' plans to take over the universe themselves, Metatron willingly exiles himself from Heaven, cutting himself off so completely that he is unaware of the archangels' fates and even who the Winchesters are.

As Uriel is about to punch Castiel again, Anna appears and stabs Uriel through the neck from behind with his own angel blade , killing him. Later, Zachariah restores Dean's memories and explains that after Uriel's betrayal, he had to get his ducks in a row and get Dean to understand that the path he's on is truly in his blood. Anna travels back to intending to kill John and Mary Winchester to prevent Sam 's birth from occurring so that Lucifer cannot use him a vessel.

When she learns that Castiel , Dean and Sam have followed her, she recruits a young Uriel to help her with her mission. Uriel remarks that claiming a vessel is currently forbidden and recognizes that Anna isn't the Anna of In her defense, she tells him that she is after the people who killed him and he joins her. While explaining to Castiel about his actions, Ishim mentions how he had a hand in Uriel's death, calling both him and Balthazar great soldiers.

Uriel, whose name means "Fire of God" is the angel of the month of September, and one of the archangels usually associated with the Apocalypse. He is often identified as a cherub, and an angel of repentance and is depicted as standing at the Gates of Eden with a fiery sword or as "the angel who watches over thunder and terror.

According to the Revelation of Esdras, he is among the angels who will rule at the end of the world. Source: Wikipedia. Jump to: navigation , search. There is no will. No wrath. No God.
