[[File:Vlcsnap-2014-01-15-08h48m15s79.png|thumb|rightt|350px|Dean looks at a photo of Kevin and [[Linda Tran|his mother]].]]
Kevin Tran was a teenager from Neighbor, Michigan. He is the son of [[Linda Tran]], and his father died when he was a child.
Kevin was in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Placement advanced placement], and plays the cello. When the [[Leviathan]] [[tablet]] was unearthed, Kevin was called as a [[prophet]]. The [[angel]] [[Hester]] referred to Kevin as "the sole keeper of the Word on Earth."
To protect Kevin and his mother, he was placed on [[Garth]]'s [[Fizzles' Folly|boat]] where he isolated himself to translate the demon tablet for Sam and Dean, as it promised a way to send all the demons on earth to [[Hell]] and lock the gates, forever. He discovered three [[trials]] that must be undertaken. However, while Sam was doing the third trial, Dean finds out it will kill him, and so he calls it off. Kevin's next task was trying to translate the angel tablet, to find away to reverse the spell which [[Metatron]] used to expel all the angels from [[Heaven]].
The trials, and continual kidnapping and occasional torture, took a heavy toll on Kevin. Despite he clearly becoming part of the Winchester family, Kevin remained cynical that anyone had his best interests at heart. He was killed in the [[Men of Letters Bunker]] by [[Gadreel]] on orders from Metatron. After death, Kevin became stuck in [[the Veil]] and returned as a [[ghost]] to ask Sam and Dean to rescue his mother who he had discovered is alive. Sam and Dean reunite mother and son and find the object tying Kevin's ghost to Earth; his father's US Air Force signet ring. Kevin's spirit leaves with Linda so they can look after each other until Heaven is reopened and he can move on.
Two years after the Winchesters last saw him, Kevin's ghost was called in by [[God]] to vouch for Him with the Winchesters. Kevin insists that the Winchesters can trust Chuck and lets them know that for a dead guy, he's doing fine. Telling Kevin that he's spent enough time in the Veil already, God causes Kevin's [[soul]] to finally ascend to its rightful place in [[Heaven]].
