Cain
,no edit summary
==History==
As a human, Cain was and an ancestor of [[Henry]] and [[John Winchester]], and thus of [[Sam]] and [[Dean Winchester]]. He and his younger brother Abel passed onto the Winchester their ability to successfully bear the [[archangels]] [[Michael]] and [[Lucifer]] as [[vessel]]s.<ref name="five13">[[5.13 The Song Remains the Same]]</ref> Lucifer tried to corrupt Abel to turn him into his "pet." In order to stop this, Cain made a [[deal]] so that Abel's [[soul]] would go to [[Heaven]] and in exchange Cain's would go to [[Hell]]. Lucifer agreed on the condition that Cain kill Abel. Cain did so with an animal's jawbone, which became the [[First Blade]]. Lucifer then marked Cain with a [[Mark of Cain|brand]] that gave the First Blade its power, and made Cain into a [[demon]], the first of the [[Knights of Hell]]. Cain trained and led his fellow Knights, and they wrecked havoc on Earth.<ref name="nine11">[[9.11 First Born]]</ref>
Eventually, Cain fell in love with and married a woman named [[Colette]]. She forgave him for his past misdeeds, only asking that he never kill again. The Knights took Colette prisoner in 1863 in attempt to goad their former leader back into his old ways. This back-fired when Cain killed all the other Knights, save [[Abaddon]], who [[possessed]] Colette and damaged her body in front of Cain by repeatedly snapping her neck. In a fit of anger, Cain tried to kill Abaddon with the First Blade as well, only for Abaddon to vacate Colette's body and trick a horrified Cain into murdering his wife. With her dying breath, Colette reminded Cain of his promise not to kill anymore, not even to gain vengeance on Abaddon. As the First Blade was indestructible, Cain threw the weapon into the ocean to honor Colette's final wish.<ref name="nine11" />
