==History==
Donatello Redfield is a retired chemistry professor who taught at West Oklahoma State College in Lewis, Oklahoma. He was the only survivor of a [[rabid]] attack [[Amara]] sent to the town. As the fog approached him Donatello was struck by lightning, becoming a [[prophet]], having been triggered due to coming into contact with Amara's power.<ref name="eleven21">[[11.21 All in the Family]]</ref> Amara later consumes consumed his soul in order to track down [[Chuck]].<ref name="eleven22">[[11.22 We Happy Few]]</ref>
A couple of years after becoming a prophet, Donatello planned to retire, rationalizing that with no [[God]] around, there was no need for a prophet. He planned to move into a condo in Boca Raton, but is soon drawn to the Winchesters by [[Jack]]'s power.<ref name="thirteen02">[[13.02 The Rising Son]]</ref> After [[Jack ]] is stuck in [[Apocalypse World]] after a failed attempt to rescue [[Mary]], [[Castiel ]] and the Winchesters call upon Donatello to read the [[demon tablet]] in an effort to find another way to open a portal. Donatello translates a [[spell]], but unbeknownst to them becomes influenced by the tablet and misleads them, trying to get them killed. Donatello's [[soullessness]] had left him vulnerable to the dark energy of the tablet, causing him to go mad. Frustrated, Castiel decides to use his power to extract the portal spell from his mind, leaving Donatello brain-dead and on life support.<ref name="thirteen13">[[13.13 Devil's Bargain]]</ref><ref name="thirteen14">[[13.14 Good Intentions]]</ref>
Over a year later, Donatello's state between life and death causes a malformed new prophet, [[Tony Alvarez]], to be called. As a result, the Winchesters decide to take him off of life support to prevent further corruption of the prophet line, only to have Castiel realize that Donatello's mind is trying to rebuild itself. Castiel is able to use this to restore a [[soulless]] Donatello who is no longer twisted or corrupted from the dark energy from the demon tablet.<ref name="fourteen12">[[14.12 Prophet and Loss]]</ref> When the Winchesters call on him to look through the demon tablet again to find a possible weakness they could exploit on [[Chuck]], he is shown to be capable of reading the tablet again without getting corrupted.<ref name="fifteen08">[[15.08 Our Father, Who Aren't in Heaven]]</ref>
