History
Terrance Clegg was an FBI agent as well as the serial abductor known as "The Butterfly". As The Butterfly, Clegg worked in conjunction with the vampire Marlon and an unknown harvester to kidnap, harvest, and sell the body parts of humans to monsters. Clegg and his associates would work their way southward during the winter time, kidnapping people and heading back north in the summertime. Being an FBI agent, Clegg was able to get assigned to The Butterfly case, ensuring that he could never be found out.

When Donna Hanscum calls Sam and Dean to help investigate the disappearance of her niece, Wendy, they meet her at a warehouse in Oshkosh, Nebraska. Dean heads inside to survey Wendy's car which had been found abandoned at the side of the road with signs of a struggle. As he spots a spike protruding from Wendy's tire, an FBI agent approaches him and aggressively asks him what he's doing. Dean gets defensive, and Doug Stover steps in to defuse the situation, introducing the agent as Agent Clegg and Dean as his alias, Agent Savage. Believing that Dean is an FBI agent, Agent Clegg eases off and asks what field office Dean works out of. Dean tells him that he's not there on official FBI business, but that the victim is his cousin. Agent Clegg accepts that and invites Dean into the office to fill him in on the case. There, he tells Dean, Doug, Sam, and Donna that Wendy's car was found after an anonymous tip was received by state troopers. He then goes on to explain that he believes it to be the work of a serial abductor known as "The Butterfly"—the spike in the car tire being his M.O.. Agent Clegg continues with information about The Butterfly's pattern and explains the name; the abductions seem to happen in the south in the winter and the north in the summer. Acknowledging that having too many unfamiliar officers and agents on the case isn't standard procedure, Agent Clegg nevertheless invites Dean, Doug, Sam, and Donna to help with the investigation since he's had no luck catching The Butterfly for 12 years.
At the station the next day, Agent Clegg tells Donna that he was able to gain access to Wendy's credit card activity in order to retrace her steps. When Sam arrives, he hands him a thick binder and informs him that everything he knows about The Butterfly and his crimes over the past 12 years is in the binder. He then goes on to relay to Sam that Wendy's last known location was at a gas station. He also discloses that he has a short list of suspects, but one in particular has always been his hunch—a pastor with a history of arrests for lewd behavior and drunk and disorderlies. As the pastor is led into the interrogation room, Agent Clegg announces that Wendy's shirt had been found in the pastor's van.
Sam and Agent Clegg begin interrogating Pastor Hankey. Clegg shows him a picture of Wendy, then a picture of another abductee, Luis Fernando. Pastor Hankey admits to recognizing Wendy, but not Luis. As Clegg begins asking him about Wendy, the pastor demands a lawyer. Agent Clegg then becomes aggressive with the pastor, grabbing him by his lapels. Sam calms the agent down and Donna enters the interrogation room, asking if she can take over.
As Donna interrogates the pastor, Sam and Agent Clegg watch from the other room. When Donna manages to get the pastor to talk by telling him he'd have to wait in a cell all weekend for a public defender, Agent Clegg comments that she's good at her job. Eventually, Donna questions Pastor Hankey about Wendy's shirt which had been found in his van. Pastor Hankey's demeanor changes completely and he tearfully insists that he didn't hurt Wendy.
When Donna, Sam, and Agent Clegg gather again, Donna and Sam admit that they believe the pastor. Agent Clegg questions why the shirt was found in his van then, to which Donna concludes that it was planted there.
When Dean finds information about a livestreamed auction on human body parts—including Wendy's—he asks Agent Clegg to locate where it's being streamed from. He, Donna, Doug, and Sam then head there to investigate. When they get there, they split up, and Sam bumps into Agent Clegg. Sam asks why he's there, and Agent Clegg explains that he's been hunting The Butterfly since the beginning, and wants to see it through to the end. However, as he and Sam are quietly walking through the building, he knocks Sam out from behind.
Having taken Sam to another location and tied him to a table, Clegg directs The Carver—who he has been working with to sell human body parts to monsters online—on how to set up the camcorder to stream Sam Winchester's auction. Sam notes that Clegg himself is The Butterfly, and Agent Clegg tells him that he knows he and Dean are famous hunters whom he recognized when he spotted the Impala. He explains that his first plan had been to frame Pastor Hankey, but since Sam had seen through that, he has to kill Sam instead. Agent Clegg goes on to tell Sam that there are hundreds of thousands of monsters roaming the Earth, and he sees his auctions as saving human lives since it satiates those monsters. Not wanting to allow Sam to stall any longer, Clegg begins the auction for Sam's liver—which sells for $5k. Next, he auctions off Sam's heart, which sells for $500k. He then turns to Sam and explains that he usually cuts the body parts out slowly for the clients, but doesn't want to waste time since he knows Dean is looking for Sam. He aims a gun at Sam's head but, before he can pull the trigger, Dean appears and shoots Clegg dead instead.
