|text= You have an inflated sense of your importance. To a thing like me, a thing like you, well...Think how you'd feel if a bacterium sat at your table and started to get snarky. This is one little planet in one tiny solar system in a galaxy that’s that's barely out of its diapers. I’m I'm old, Dean. Very old. So I invite you to contemplate how insignificant I find you.

Death is one of the [[Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse]], referred to in the Book of Revelation as the Pale Horseman, he appears to be the most powerful and eldest of the four, older than [[Famine]], [[War]] and [[Pestilence]]. According to him, he is the only being in existence that will persist through the end of time. According to Death neither he nor [[God]] can remember which of them is older. Since [[Amara]], God's sister, claims that she doesn't know who Death is, and vice versa, it proves that God is older than the pale horseman.<ref name="eleven01">[[11.01 Out of the Darkness, Into the Fire]]</ref> Death also believes at the end of time, God himself will die, and he will then reap God.<ref name="five21">[[5.21 Two Minutes to Midnight]]</ref>

{{Quotation|title=|text= It’s funny to hear a Winchester talk about the finality of dying. This reality -– it has rules, Dean. So many rules. And one of them?

New gear.|author= [[Death's CadillacBillie]]|white 1959 Cadillacsource= [[13.05 Advanced Thanatology]] with a California license plate that reads BUH*BYE. His human appearance is that of }} The original Death appeared as a very slender, and almost skeleton-like, older man. While [[reaper]]s He would approach any situation in ''Supernatural'' are portrayed as being part of the natural ordera dry, calm demeanor, never raising his voice or revealing any emotions beyond slight annoyance. Death is initially seen as being catastrophic, but after the re-imprisonment of Lucifer, he returns to his position as the leader of the [[reapers ]] as a force for balancein the natural order. Death's knowledge and age are immeasurable, and his power is immense, exceeding that of almost any other entity encountered by Sam barring [[God]] and Dean[[the Darkness]] / [[Amara]]. Death has also had a fondness for junk food, ; including bacon dogs and , pizza, soda and fried pickle chips. The original Death also appeared to have a relaxed approach to reaping, allowing Sam and Dean to constantly be resurrected despite the consequences to the natural order. As well as allowing various rogue reapers to operate. With the reaper [[Billie]] taking the mantle of Death, she has instituted a no direct interference policy to all reapers. However, she has been shown to make very rare exceptions, bringing Dean back when the notebooks in [[Death's Library]] stated that it was not his time to die and teleporting Sam, Castiel, Jack and Michael to the Bunker to save their lives. [[Chuck Shurley]] admits to Sam and Dean that he enjoyed the old Death better than Billie, "he was all about fried pickles and tickle porn" -- claiming she involves herself too much.<ref>[[14.20 Moriah]]</ref>

Being the eldest and most powerful of the [[Four Horsemen]], and an ancient primordial being of similar age to [[God]], Death is unimaginably powerful and is in fact one of the most powerful beings in existence. [[Amara]] is the only being more powerful than him, with God being is only equal. To explain his power level to Dean, whom he compared tells Dean to imagine a bacterium being snarky bacterium, he stated that a bacterium to a human is basically the same as a human to Deathhim, stating the Galaxy is "barely out of its diapers" compared to him.Nothing can kill who he wills to live, as stated by Dean, and he can keep someone dead if he wants to without anyone being able to resurrect them.  * Apporting - – Death was able to summon his scythe to him".* Chronokinesis – As Death, Billie froze time around Dean's suicide and Sam's attempts to revive him so that she could speak with him. This appeared to be a localized effect as the time freeze did not affect the reaper [[Jessica (Reaper)|Jessica]] or the ghosts trapped in the same house.* Immortality - – Death is exempt from all forms of pain, fatigue, age, and disease. While an incarnation of Death stated can be killed, the mantle of Death will move on to the next [[reaper]] that has been killed, ensuring that he Death will eventually be the only thing to last forever.* Nigh-Omniscience - – Death has an almost absolute awareness of the universe that exceeds that of the archangels, and is only rivaled by God. After Billie takes on the mantle of Death, she becomes aware of the "multi-versal quantum construct" that everyone lives in, as well as the importance of the Winchesters in the grand scheme of the universe.* Nigh-Omnipotence - – As a primordial being and being the eldest and most powerful member of the [[Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse]], Death can do almost anything that he it desires, possessing a great deal of near infinite supernatural power. Death is so powerful that he it is one of the few beings that can enter [[Lucifer's Cage ]] without the need of the Rings of the Horsemen. Death is also powerful enough to remove and/or transfer the [[Mark of Cain]]. He Death even created an eclipse by realigning the Solar Systemsolar system.* [[Resurrection - ]] – As he is literally the bringer of death, Death can resurrect all forms of life back to any state he it so desires. He Death could bring multiple people back to life just with his passing. However, as it violates the Natural Ordernatural order, he almost never does, but under certain situations exceptions can be made. As Death, Billie resurrected Dean following his suicide as it was not his time to die.* Memory Manipulation - manipulation – Death was able to suppress Sam's horrific memories of being in Hell by placing the memories behind a temporary wall he created in his mind.* Teleportation - He can teleport himself anywhere in the universe instantly. He could even teleport into and leave Lucifer's Cage without the need of the rings.* Tactile Necrokinesis - He – Death can instantly kill anything or anyone with a touch. After being bumped into by a man walking in the opposite direction to him, Death brushed his coat with his hand where the man had walked into him, killing him instantly. * [[Teleportation]] – Death can teleport anywhere in the universe instantly. Death could even teleport into and leave Lucifer's Cage without the need of the rings. * Thermokinesis - – Death caused his scythe to burn red-hot in order to make Dean drop it.* [[Weather Manipulation - ]] manipulation – Death is able to create cataclysmic events so harsh that he can wipe the Earth clean of any and all life, like he did during Noah's flood. He Death was going to wipe out an entire state with massive weather anomalies on Lucifer's orders, but later decided not to do it.[6]

Despite rivaling [[God]]'s power, even Death has a few weaknesses and can even be killed, though only by one method: his Death's own scythe. * [[Death's Scythe]] – Death can be killed by its own scythe.* [[Spells #Death_2|Binding spellSpells]] - – Death can be effectively bound. God kept him the original Death imprisoned beneath the Earth for thousands of years for unknown reasons. [[Dean ]] and [[Sam ]] were able to use a spell given to them by [[Crowley]] to bind him in an attempt to get him to kill [[Godstiel|Castiel]], who had dubbed himself the new "God.* [[Death's Scythe]] - Death can be killed by his own scythe."

After briefly committing suicide [[Dean]] has [[Sam]] temporarily induce death on him, his reaper [[Jessica (Reaper)|Jessica]] realizes who he is and reports that Dean Winchester is in an effort the Veil. When Sam's attempt to learn from the ghosts trapped in the Meadows House where their bodies are hiddenrevive Dean fails, Dean is greeted surprised by the sight of Billie, who reveals that after [[BillieCastiel]]killed her, who reveals herself to be she became the new Death, explaining that when Death dies, the first reaper to be killed after him will take up his mantle. Telling Dean they need to talk, Billie teleports herself and Dean to a place she refers to as her "reading room." She tells Dean that one she has heard that he and Sam have been jumping universes and questions him how that is possible. Dean tells her that as Death she should know, but Billie replies that this information eludes her, much to her annoyance. Realizing Dean has the upper hand, he strikes a deal: in exchange for the information, Billie must release the souls trapped in Meadows' home. Billie agrees to the terms and has Jessica usher the souls out of [[the laws Veil]]. Curious as to why he didn't ask her to revive him, Dean tells her he figured it was a moot point and was prepared to die. Billie tells him he has changed and no longer has the same bravado of reality a man that has died multiple times. Dean explains that after his recent failings, he is prepared to die if it is his time. Billie, however, shows Dean a shelf with notebooks dedicated to him, and the various ways that when he may die based on his choices in life. she tells Dean that now is not his time, and that with her taking on the mantle of Death, she sees the big picture, and much to her chagrin, she finds that he and Sam are important and that they have work to do and that's all he needs to know. When Dean attempts to ask her about Mary, Billie sends him away, resurrecting him. After sending Dean away, Billie begins reading from one incarnation of the many notebooks on Dean's shelf. Dean tells Sam about his encounter with Death. Sam is confused as Dean killed Death leading Dean to explain that Billie is now the replacement of the Death diesthat Dean had killed. ===[[13.19 Funeralia]]===In attempt to gain audience with Death to resurrect [[Crowley]], Rowena begins killing people before their time along with their reapers. When she learns that Sam is destined to kill her, she attempts to summon Death to her by killing Sam. To her surprise, Billie arrives, revealing herself as Death to Rowena. When Billie denies Rowena's request to bring back her son, telling her she does not do blackmail and encourages her to go ahead and kill Sam, telling her she is curious to see what will happen. When Rowena can't bring herself to kill Sam, Billie attempts to comfort her by telling her "some things just are… and everyone has to live with that" before departing and telling Dean she will see him soon. ===[[14.10 Nihilism]]===In a desperate attempt to escape [[Michael's Monsters]], Sam calls upon the next [[reaper]] [[Jessica (Reaper)|Jessica]] who Billie had following the Winchesters around. However, the Reaper [[Violet]] appears instead and reveals that Billie now has her Reapers following them around in shifts. Sam attempts to convince Violet to teleport the group to safety, but she refuses due to Billie's rules. Among the chaos, [[Michael (Apocalypse World)|Michael]] mentions that in [[Apocalypse World]], he and his angels imprisoned Death and enslaved the reapers. Despite Violet's initial refusal to lend a hand, she, Sam, [[Castiel]], [[Jack]] and Michael are suddenly teleported to [[the Bunker]]. Later, as Dean recuperates in his room, Billie appears to him. Having heard the story of the others' inexplicable escape, Dean realizes that it was in fact Billie who was responsible despite it being against the rules. Billie admits to rescuing Sam and the others, stating that she "took a calculated risk" and asks Dean not to tell anyone. Billie chides Dean for ignoring her warnings about crossing universes which Dean feels was worth it to rescue Jack and [[Mary Winchester|their mother]]. Billie reminds Dean of his visit to [[Death's Reading Room]] and all of the notebooks showing the various ways he could die . Billie warns Dean that all of those notebooks have now changed: all but one fate has Michael escaping his prison in Dean's mind and using Dean's body to destroy the world. Billie hands Dean the notebook containing the one fate where Michael loses, shocking Dean at what it reveals must be done. Billie tells Dean that it's up to him what he will take his placedo with the information and departs, leaving Dean with the notebook.
