| − | The Princes of Hell were the first generation of [[demons]] created by the [[archangel]] [[Lucifer]] after the creation of [[Lilith]]<ref name="twelve12">[[12.12 Stuck in the Middle (With You)]]</ref> and before the [[Knights of Hell]].<ref name="eight12>[[8.12 As Time Goes By]]</ref> [[Crowley]] further stated that they were made prior to the sinking of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantis Atlantis] in ancient times, dating as far back as 360 BC. The Princes of Hell were [[Azazel]], [[Ramiel]], [[Asmodeus]], and their sister [[Dagon]].<ref name="twelve12" />

Azazel told Lucifer about how he never stopped searching for him, stating how the other Princes had lost faith and calling them "dickless heathens."

| − | With the deaths of Azazel and Lilith and with Lucifer having been defeated, Hell was left in a power vacuum and Crowley, acting as an emissary, paid a visit to Ramiel in 2011 to give him the Colt and the Lance of Michael as offerings to take control of Hell's throne. Ramiel declined, instead suggesting that Crowley is ambitious enough to take it, telling him he need not worry about the Princes coming after the throne. However, he held Crowley responsible for ensuring no one bothers himself or his siblings. Crowley was able to keep their [[deal]] for six years, but when the [[British Men of Letters]] sent [[Mary Winchester]] to retrieve [[the Colt]] in 2017, Ramiel was ultimately killed by [[Sam Winchester]] with the [[Lance of Michael]].<ref name="twelve12" />

| − | Currently, Asmodeus is the only living Prince of Hell. Upon Lucifer's disappearance into the [[Apocalypse World]], Asmodeus comes out of hiding to take control of Hell until such time as Lucifer returns with his son.
| + | [[Category:Canon]] |
| − | | |
| − | ==Characteristics==
| |
| − | Princes of Hell, by virtue of being "the oldest of the old demons" according to [[Crowley]], are more powerful than average, having certain abilities and powers not seen in typical demons. The Princes of Hell are also distinguished by their pale yellow eyes -- yellow irises with white sclerae and no visible pupils, although Azazel often had visible pupils when he was alive in earlier episodes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Powers and abilities===
| |
| − | Princes of Hell, like all demons have superhuman strength and durability. They can create and manipulate fire through pyrokinesis, and are also telekinetic, and have the power to throw or inflict lacerations upon humans with their minds. Princes of Hell are also seen to be impervious to things that would be debilitating to regular demons, such as not being affected by [[holy water]] or [[devil's trap]] bullets. They can survive killing blows from both [[Angel Blade|angel blades]] and [[Ruby's Knife|demon-killing knives]]. The Princes are capable of making [[Deals and Pacts|deals]] with humans and they have the power to possess [[reaper]]s and use their powers for themselves. They also have the power to kill angels and lesser demons. [[Asmodeus]] displays a [[smiting]] power similar to that of an angel's with the same effect on the demon that he is smiting. He is able to use this power to kill multiple demons at once and does not require touch to smite them. [[Dagon]] also displays the ability to combust angels to dust with just a touch of her hand.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Weaknesses===
| |
| − | As powerful as the Princes of Hell are, they are not without their weaknesses. They cannot cross [[iron]] and can be trapped inside of [[Devil's trap (symbol)|devil's traps]]. The only two weapons that have been shown to be able to kill a Prince of Hell have been [[the Colt]] and the [[Lance of Michael]]. They are also weak against higher beings such as [[Lucifer]] and [[Jack Kline]] as both are capable of torturing and killing them.

| − | ==Episodes==
| |
| − | ===[[1.01 Pilot]]===
| |
| − | On November 2, 1983, in [[Lawrence, Kansas]], [[Azazel]] pays a visit to an infant [[Sam Winchester]]. He stands over baby Sam's crib and begins feeding him [[demon blood]]. Mary, checking on Sam, first assumes Azazel to be John but quickly realizes it is Azazel. Mary is eviscerated and pinned to the ceiling; when [[John]] hears her screams he rushes to Sam's nursery to find her on the ceiling and engulfed in flames.

| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Monica Holt]] enters her baby [[Rose Holt|Rose]]'s nursery to find a dark figure standing over the crib. When she asks what Azazel is, he raises his hand and Monica is flung back against the wall. Sam races up the stairs and along the corridor as Monica slides up the wall and onto the ceiling. He enters the room and Azazel turns to him, yellow eyes shining. Sam hesitates, frozen and staring. As Monica screams for Rose, Sam raises the Colt and pulls the trigger. Azazel disappears into smoke. After Sam and Dean get Monica and Rose out of the burning house, they spot Azazel silhouetted in the burning nursery, standing completely still. Sam tries to go back and attempt to kill him again but he is stopped by Dean, who tells him it would be suicide.

| − | ===[[1.22 Devil's Trap]]===
| |
| − | After saving John and bringing him to a cabin in the woods, Dean realizes that John has been possessed when John shows no anger for Dean wasting a bullet from the Colt; Dean notes that the real John would be furious. He tells Sam and Dean to kill him if they think he is possessed, but Dean can't go through with it. As Dean lowers the Colt, Azazel reveals himself to the Winchesters. Sam lunges toward him, but is thrown against the wall and pinned, along with Dean. Azazel picks up the Colt and begins mocking them, telling Sam to make the Colt float to him. He tells them this is payback for [[exorcising]] [[Meg]] and killing [[Tom]], whom he considered his "children." As Azazel begins tearing into Dean, John is able to wrestle control enough for Sam to break free and grab the Colt. He shoots John in the leg; John tells Sam to finish it, as he can't hold onto Azazel much longer. When Sam refuses, Azazel smokes out of John and escapes through a crack in the floor.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===[[2.01 In My Time of Dying]]===
| |
| − | Realizing [[Dean]] is going to die, [[John]] decides to summon [[Azazel]] in the hospital basement to make a deal. He first offers Azazel [[the Colt]] and its final bullet, but Azazel wants something more: John's life. John agrees to the terms, on the condition he sees Dean alive and well with his own eyes. Azazel agrees, and proceeds to enter [[the Veil]], where he takes possession of the [[reaper]], [[Tessa]], and brings Dean back to life. Once John sees Dean and has a final moment with his sons, he collapses dead per his arrangement with Azazel.

| − | | |
| − | ===[[2.21 All Hell Breaks Loose: Part One]]===
| |
| − | After bringing the remaining [[Special Children]] to Cold Oak, South Dakota, Azazel comes to Sam, telling him that he needs only one of them to lead his army. He also tells the truth about how Sam and the others came to have psychic abilities: Azazel fed each of them his blood when they were six months old. Jake tells Sam that he visited him too, telling him that only one of them will escape alive. Manipulated by Azazel, Jake turns on Sam and the ensuing fight ends with Sam dead and Jake escaping into the woods.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===[[2.22 All Hell Breaks Loose: Part Two]]===
| |
| − | After Jake kills Sam, he escapes into the woods where Azazel meets him at his improvised campsite. Jake threatens to kill him for what he made him do to the other people in Cold Oak, but Azazel tells him to comply or he will kill his family. After arriving at the train tracks, Jake meets with Azazel again; Azazel gives him the Colt to open a crypt, promising that he and his family will be treated as royalty. Dean, Ellen, Bobby, and a revived Sam realize that Azazel is planning to do something in Southern Wyoming after discovering a 100-square-mile Devil's Trap built by Samuel Colt with [[Fossil Butte Cemetery|an old cowboy cemetery]] in the center. Jake is able to open the crypt, but Sam shoots him seven times, killing him. They realize that the crypt was [[Devil's Gate in Wyoming|a Devil's Gate]], and that opening it released Azazel's demon army and numerous spirits.
| |
| − | | |
| − | When the gate was opened, the pentagram was broken, allowing Azazel to reach the cemetery. Dean realizes that the Colt still has the last bullet and when Azazel appears, he takes the gun from Dean and knocks him onto a nearby gravestone. Sam, who was helping Bobby and Ellen seal the crypt, moves to help Dean, but he is thrown onto a tree. Azazel mocks Dean about his dedication to his family which resulted in his desperate act to make a deal with a crossroads demon to bring back Sam. He intends to kill him with the Colt, but [[John Winchester|John]], escaping from Hell via the Devil's Gate as a [[vengeful spirit]], attacks Azazel, ripping him out of his [[meatsuit]]. John's distraction gives Dean enough time to retrieve the Colt and shoot Azazel after he returns into his meatsuit, finally killing him with the Colt's last bullet. After closing the crypt, Bobby and Ellen witness John's spirit staring at Azazel's body. After sharing one final moment with his sons, John's spirit finally passes on, ascending to Heaven. Dean stares at Azazel's dead body and tells him "That was for our mom, you son of a bitch." They all agree that despite the fact that Azazel is dead, their work isn't done -- his demon army was released.

| − | ===[[4.03 In the Beginning]]===
| |
| − | [[Castiel]] sends Dean back to April 1973 to discover Azazel's true endgame. Azazel, possessing a man named Dr. Brown, attempts to make a deal with a woman named Liddy Walsh to receive permission to enter her house in ten years in exchange for curing her husband of cancer. He is interrupted by Dean, [[Samuel Campbell|Samuel]], and Mary, but he flings them away. He turns his attention to Mary, but he has to leave when Dean realizes that he has the Colt and possessed Samuel before he left the house.
| |
| − | | |
| − | After Dean tells Samuel how he came from the future, Azazel reveals himself and restrains Dean against a wall while still in his chair. Azazel tells him how he had been searching for "ideal breeders" to produce the Special Children. He refuses to tell Dean his true endgame, even telling him that he is going to cover his tracks. Dean tells him that no matter what, he is still going to kill him. Azazel then proceeds to kill Samuel and [[Deanna Campbell]] and escapes to find Mary. He snaps John's neck and offers to bring him back in exchange for returning in ten years, but he refuses to tell her what he really wants. Mary accepts the deal and Azazel escapes, leaving Samuel's body behind just as Dean arrives. Castiel appears and sends Dean back to the future.

| − | ===[[4.22 Lucifer Rising]]===
| |
| − | In 1972 at St. Mary's Convent in Ilchester, Maryland, Azazel takes possession of a priest, [[Father Lehne]] one evening. The next day, during a service for the nuns, he begins speaking of his "Father", and how he had almost given up hope until he found the convent. Revealing his yellow eyes, he proceeds to slaughter all the nuns in the chapel.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Through these sacrifices, Azazel is able to make a connection to [[Lucifer's Cage]], using a [[The Nun|dead nun]] as a conduit. During their brief talk, Azazel mentions his other siblings, calling them "dickless heathens" for losing their faith in him. [[Lucifer]] reveals that he will need [[Lilith]] to break him free of his prison, and that Azazel will have to find him a "[[Special Children|special child]]" to release her from [[Hell]].

| |
| − | | |
| − | After Sam, Dean, Castiel, and Mary seek shelter in a barn, Crowley appears and tells them that Ramiel is one of the four Princes of Hell, another being Azazel who was killed by Dean ten years prior. Crowley appears before Ramiel, offering him a deal to leave the Winchesters and Castiel alone, but he throws Crowley through the doors. Ramiel becomes trapped by a ring of holy fire and tells them that he doesn't care about anything to do with Lucifer, even the fact that he is going to have a baby, stating that [[Dagon]] had taken an interest instead. Ramiel gives the, thirty seconds to give the Colt back to him or he will kill them and take it back himself. Mary stays silent while the thirty seconds run out and Ramiel uses the Lance to extinguish the holy fire, freeing himself. After the ensuing fight, Ramiel is stabbed by Sam with the Lance of Michael. Ramiel laughs then flashes orange, his wound catching fire, and he explodes. Crowley later snaps the Lance in half to save Castiel's life after remembering what Ramiel said about the magic in the Lance lying in its craftsmanship.
