History
Anubis is the Egyptian god of the dead and son to Osiris. When God first left Heaven, the angels needed a new judge to ensure souls go to their proper destination upon death and enlisted Anubis over his father. Describing himself as more an accountant, Anubis employs an abacus, which tallys up a person's choices in life at the precise moment of their death, it's those choices that ultimately dictate where a human soul goes upon death and not something Anubis can change himself.
Episodes
14.08 Byzantium
When agreeing to try and get Lily Sunder into Heaven for her help in resurrecting Jack. Castiel reveals that in the wake of God's absence, the angels brought in Anubis to act as Heaven's new judge of souls. Summoning him to the Bunker, Lily Sunder tells him she needs to know where she will go when she dies, finding it unorthodox and against protocol, Anubis nevertheless agrees and produces an abacus. He takes Lily's hand which begins to tally the choices of her life on the abacus, ending with more black beads than white, meaning she is destined for Hell. Sam and Dean demand that he change it and allow Lily into Heaven, revealing they have trapped him in a ring of palm oil. Anubis explains to the Winchesters and Lily that not he nor God has any real control over where a soul ends up, but that it's the choices a person makes in their lives that decide. Unperturbed, Anubis tells the Winchesters they can keep him trapped or kill him, but that it won't change Lily's fate, but may end up changing theirs, which causes Sam to reluctantly break the sigil trapping Anubis and allowing him to leave.
Upon Lily Sunder's death, she finds herself in Anubis' office, confused. Anubis offers her his abacus once more, where this time the beads end up with more white than black. Asking if Lily knew what the spell would cost her, and seeing that she did. Anubis tells Lily to say "hello" to her daughter for him.
