History
Abaddon was one of the first demons to fall, and was handpicked by Lucifer himself to become one of the Knights of Hell. Abaddon is possibly the last surviving member of the Knights of Hell, as the Archangels were thought to have killed them all. She is the reason why the Men of Letters are disbanded and destroyed. Larry Ganem, the last survivor of the Men of Letters, described her as a "hired gun", but did not say who was in control of her.

- Resistance to Ruby's Knife.
- Superhuman strength
- She can cause people' eyes to bleed and go blind.
- She can create and control fire.
- Can read memories by inserting a part of her 'true form' into the person.

Appearances
8.12 As Time Goes By
Possessing initiate Josie Sands, Abaddon infiltrates the Men of Letters to steal The Box under the orders of an unknown party. She proves immune to an exorcism and kills all but Larry Ganem and Henry Winchester who escapes through time with The Box.
Abaddon is able to follow Henry through time and easily throws Sam and Dean around. Dean manages to stab her with Ruby's Knife, but while it hurts her, Abaddon isn't killed and the three are forced to flee. Abaddon reads the memories of the motel clerk to learn what he knows about Sam and Dean and then kills him.
Abaddon travels to Astro Comics which used to be the Men of Letters headquarters and checks the memories of the clerk there. After learning about what she knows, Abaddon comments that she likes the clerk's "The Devil Made Me Do It" shirt and kills her, taking her outfit.
Using the clerk's memories, Abaddon tracks down Larry Ganem and apparently disguises herself as or possesses his wife and listens as Sam arrives and learns about the storehouse that the box opens and gets the coordinates to it. Abaddon kills Larry and knocks Sam out. Abaddon calls Dean and demands he trade Henry and the box for Sam's life which he agrees to.
At an old processing plant, they make the trade, but Abaddon betrays the deal, trapping Sam and Dean and mortally wounding Henry. However, they expected her betrayal and prepared for it: Henry shoots Abaddon in the head with a bullet engraved with a Devil's Trap though Abaddon doesn't realize what he has done at first. Abaddon is angered to discover that the box she was given is a fake and demands to know where the real one is. When no one tells her, Abaddon tries to read Henry's memories and discovers that she is unable to and unable to move far. Realizing what happened, Abaddon points out that they still haven't killed her, but Dean tells her that she will wish they did and decapitates Abaddon. Dean explains that with a Devil's Trap in her head, Abaddon is bound forever to her meatsuit so they will cut her into small pieces and bury them in cement, forever entombing Abaddon and defeating her.

After Sam and Dean discovered a way to cure a demon, they dig up Abaddon's body parts and sew her back together. When she reanimates, she tries to release her demonic form from the body but is unable to after Sam reminds her that she is still confined because of the Devils trap bullet inside her head. She also realises that her hands have been cut off and placed in a box next to her; a precaution from Sam and Dean. Realizing that she won't be escaping anytime soon, she discusses with Sam and Dean about her involvement in Father Max Thompson's death after word got out about his experiments on demons. This lead her to find out information about Josie Sands and Men of Letters. When Sam receives a phone call from Crowley, Dean explains to her that Crowley is the new King of Hell, which shocks her and they both leave Abbadon unattended to answer it. Abaddon then uses the opportunity to escape by forcing her hands to remove the bullet from her head which allows her to use her powers to vanish.
Trivia
- During the Apocalypse, Dean and Sam encountered a renegade angel called Abaddon (although he preferred to be called 'Don') in the novel Supernatural: War of the Sons, who was loyal to Lucifer but assigned to guard the Cage. This can be reconciled with Abaddon's appearance in the show, as according to Eric Kripke the tie-in novels/comics should not be considered canon.
Abaddon In Lore
Abaddon is a Hebrew word meaning destruction or the realm of the dead, and is associated with Sheol. In the New Testament Book of Revelation, an angel called Abaddon is shown as the king of an army of locusts.
