History

According to the history, God created the first human male, Adam, and after a time, began to notice that Adam was lonely. Thus did God set about creating a mate for Adam to end this loneliness. His first attempt at this resulted in a woman created from the dust of the Earth much as Adam had been, Lilith. However, Lilith's eventual refusal to be subservient to Adam caused her to be cast out of the Garden of Eden, the paradise God had created for his new creations to inhabit. One day some time later, while Adam slept, God took from Adam one of his ribs and transfigured it into a new human female, Eve. Thus when Adam awoke, Eve was presented to him as his new mate and wife.

Some time later, God commanded his Angels to bow to Adam and Eve and the human race as a whole that would descend from them. Lucifer, one of God's four Archangels, refused to bow to Adam and Eve, believing them to be greatly flawed in comparison to himself (though in reality he was simply jealous that they had replaced him in the foremost of God's affections). Though God tried to explain to Lucifer that while the human race was indeed capable of great mischief that they were also capable of great good if given the proper guidance, Lucifer refused to listen and entreated his older brother, the Archangel Michael, to disobey this order and come to his defense. Michael refused however and, upon God's command, cast Lucifer out of Heaven for his disobedience.

The livid Archangel set to enact his revenge upon his family by spoiling and mocking God's new creations. To this end, he first found and twisted Lilith's soul to mock God's creation of the human race. To further his defiling of God's new creations, Lucifer then entered the Garden of Eden and took possession of a serpent. Lucifer, as the serpent, found Eve near the heart of the Garden of Eden and encouraged her to take of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, from which God had expressly forbidden both Adam and she to eat. Lucifer eased Eve's doubts by claiming that they would become like God himself if they ate of the fruit and insinuating that God did not want them eating it for this reason. Blinded by Lucifer's argument, Eve took of the fruit and ate it before taking some of it to Adam, who ate of it in turn as well. This would forever mark Eve, Adam, and all of their descendants with the stigma of the first great sin committed by the mother and father of all life.

After God discovered what Adam and Eve had done, they were banished from the paradise they had been gifted, the Garden of Eden, and condemned to live in much less hospitable surroundings. Eve would eventually give birth to their first two sons, Cain and Abel (from whom Dean Winchester and Sam Winchester would descend far in the future). After Cain slew his brother Abel and was forced into exile by God, Eve eventually gave birth to a third son, Seth, from whom Noah would descend and thus all subsequent life thereafter.

Little is known of Eve's fate in the verse of the show or the fate of her husband, Adam. It is clear however that she came to eventually be known as the "Mother of All" and that she was gifted with powers to create new lifeforms (in this case monsters). Her spirit was banished at some point to Purgatory, the third spiritual realm filled with flames meant to purge souls of sin (though it would also become the final destination of the supernatural as well). Here her spirit would remain until it was released by dragons in 6.12 Like A Virgin and presented with a new body to inhabit.

The sacrifice to raise Eve from Purgatory

6.12 Like A Virgin

Dragons are abducting young women (virgins) and keeping them captive in a sewer. Dean obtains the Sword of Brunswick and he and Sam track down the dragon's lair, finding a pile of gold, and the women. They also find an ancient manuscript which speaks of freeing the "Mother of All" from Purgatory. Sam and Dean kill one of the Dragon but one escapes. He meets up with another dragon who has also captured a half dozen women. They take one of the women and use an incantation to open a door to Purgatory. They throw the woman in, and she rises again, her body now inhabited by Eve.

6.16 And Then There Were None

The episode begins with a trucker at a gas station filling his tank, until he turns and sees a young woman (the "Mother of All") approaching him. She asks for a ride, and noticing her bare feet, he agrees to let her ride in his cab. Once inside, the driver asks the girl her name, to which she replies to be "Eve", and how far she is traveling, to which she replies she is willing to go as far as he'd like, before pressing herself upon him. The driver, a religious man, rebuffs her advances and makes mention of Jesus, to which she replies that Jesus was "just a man", that humanity's "Apocalypse came and went, and you didn't even notice", and that their Father had abandoned them, something that a mother would not do to her own. She then leans to whisper into the driver's ear before injecting him with a small new creation of her design.

Eve in Lore

Eve is spoken of in the Book of Genesis as the wife of Adam, mother to three sons (Cain, Abel and Seth), and the mother of all humanity. It was Eve who was the first human to commit sin when Lucifer entered the body of a serpent and tempted her with the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. She is noted to have guided her husband down the same path and to have thus brought God's displeasure upon the both of them, resulting in the couple's banishment from the Garden of Eden. [1]
