History
Naomi is an angel, and apparently a high-ranking one in command of a garrison. She exists in an area of Heaven that Castiel has never seen before. She was responsible for rescuing Castiel from Purgatory - although it cost several angels their lives to recover him - and has continued to monitor him.
Appearances
8.07 A Little Slice of Kevin
After Castiel has reunited with the Winchesters and rescued the Prophets from Crowley - as well as destroying the Word of God tablet - he is summoned to Naomi, who reveals her role in saving him and asks him to tell her about the Winchesters' recent progress. After Castiel tells her this information - although he does not apparently wish to do so - she tells him to return to the Winchesters and continue reporting back to her, although he will not remember any of these 'check-ins'. She then returns Castiel to Earth with his memory of their meeting erased.
8.08 Hunteri Heroici
When Castiel is about to announce his decision to return to Heaven, Naomi pulls him in for another "chat" and tells him he cannot return unless she allows it, which she won't. Castiel insists that he must return to make up for his mistakes and Naomi, seemingly somewhat sympathetic, tells him to keep doing what he's doing to do that and asks him what he wants to do, which causes Castiel to consider the subject carefully.
8.10 Torn and Frayed
After Samandiriel manages to reactivate his "angel radio," he sends a distress call to Naomi before Viggor interrupts him. Naomi summons Castiel to rescue him before he is broken, telling him the signal cut-off before she could pinpoint his exact location. When Castiel tells her he will need help as Crowley will have warded Samandiriel's location against angels, Naomi tells him to take whatever he needs and to tell the Winchesters it was him who detected the distress call and decided to rescue him.
After the Winchesters break the Enochian sigils keeping him out, Castiel is still left weakened and as an apparent side-effect, sees a memory of Naomi having him strapped down to a chair and approaching his eye with some kind of instrument.
After Samandiriel is rescued, he begs Castiel to not take him back to Heaven as he is afraid of Naomi after what he has revealed. Apparently Naomi is well-known in Heaven as Samandiriel is shocked that Castiel has no idea who she is. After learning that Samandiriel revealed the existence of an angel Word of God tablet, Naomi orders Castiel to kill him which he does against his will. Naomi orders Castiel to claim that Samandiriel was compromised and he was forced to kill him in self-defense and that he is taking him back to Heaven to be laid to rest. However, this arouses the Winchesters' suspicions that Castiel is being controlled, especially as he starts bleeding from one eye and Castiel is horrified that he murdered another angel. Naomi calls Samandiriel a traitor and said he needed to be executed for what he did. Naomi intends to examine Samandiriel to learn just how much he broke and reveals that the angel tablet, something that any angel would die to protect the existence of, including herself, has the potential to cause great harm to angels, suggesting that like the demon tablet reveals how to lock up demons forever, the angel tablet could do the same with angels.
