The term fallen angels describes celestial beings that have involuntarily been cast out of Heaven or have voluntary left the [[The Host of Heaven|Host]] to become human. Fallen angels lose their position on the Host, they are no longer capable of communicating with Heaven, and are looked on as being worse than even demons by their brother angels.

Difficult to distinguish from fallen angels, rebellious angels are those that decided at one point or another to stop following orders. When an angel questions orders, he or she may experience a demotion from his or her original rank in the angel hierarchy, and would then be placed in a lower angelic class. True rebellion, meaning outright disobedience, is considered an angelic "murder one" according to [[Anna]]. It is closely associated with falling, and can occur for a variety of reasons.

In Christian tradition a fallen angel is one who is banished from Heaven.

Disobediant Angels

It's difficult to distinguish between a 'fallen' and a 'rebellious' angel in Supernatural. Fallen Angels are those that have defied Heaven's principles and laws, and leave The Host of Heaven permanently. They may be cast out or may leave on their own.

Rebellious angels are those that have questioned or disobeyed orders from their superiors, in particular Michael. They may have created a more personal and individualized agenda. These angels may experience a demotion from their original ranks in the angel hierarchy, and would then be placed in a lower angelic class. True rebellion, meaning outright disobedience, is considered an angelic "murder one" according to Anna. It is closely associated with falling, and can occur for a variety of reasons.

Fallen Angels

Lucifer was expelled from Heaven by God and eventually cast into Hell by Michael.

Anna chose to relinquish her grace which rendered her mortal.

Rebellious Angels

Castiel was later placed under Uriel's command by his superiors. Castiel's rebellion officially starts when he banishes Zachariah and takes Dean Winchester to stop Sam from killing Lilith.

Uriel supported the release of Lucifer but this seemingly overlooked by his superiors.

Gabriel voluntarily exiles himself from Heaven and retreats to Earth.
