Disobedient Angels in Supernatural

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. His contempt for humanity and the creation of Lilith, the first demon, led to his fall.

Anna chose to relinquish her grace, then fell to earth and was born as a human. She had grown tired of her post and wanted to experience real emotion.

Rebellious Angels

Castiel confessed in 4.07 It's The Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester that he had trouble telling what was right and what was wrong. He was later placed under Uriel's command by his superiors for becoming to close with the Winchesters. When he tried to give Dean a warning in 4.20 The Rapture, he is forcibly returned to Heaven and punished severely. He obeys Heaven for a while, but becomes a rebel when he banishes Zachariah and takes Dean Winchester to stop Sam from killing Lilith. He is then cut off from Heaven.

Uriel supported the release of Lucifer, but this was either overlooked by or hidden from his superiors.

Gabriel voluntarily exiles himself from Heaven and retreats to Earth. He says that he grew tired of the warring between the other archangels.
