The Host of Heaven is an angelic organization. Not much is known about this particular organization. However, we do know that The Host of Heaven has been mentioned highly numerous times throughout season five. In biblical lore the heavenly host consists of: Michael as the leader, Gabriel and Lucifer who was kicked out of heaven and he lost his position of being a heavenly host member.
It could be assumed that all angels in heaven were part of the Host, which would include Michael, Raphael, Zachariah and any angels of the Angel Garrisons. In Canon Michael is the only archangel who has been clarified as being an active member of the host. Michael commands the heavenly host. This was stated by a Demon-possessed Bobby. When Zachariah failed to get Dean's consent for Michael, Michael terminated his position on the Host. However, just recently, Michael re-elected Zachariah to his prior Job (getting Dean to consent to Michael).
Well, I wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley, believe me. He commands the heavenly host. During the last big dust-up upstairs, he's the one who booted Lucifer's ass to the basement. Did it with that sword.
– Demon-possessed Bobby, 5.01 Sympathy For The Devil
Host Members:
- Michael - In God's absence, Michael was left in charge of Heaven and the Angels that dwell there. Michael is charge of managing the Host; Michael has complete authority over the Host and its members. Michael was the Viceroy of Heaven. When he fell into Lucifer's Cage, he lost his leadership over the Host.
- Lucifer - Lucifer has been described as the Angel who is second to Michael. This particular statement draws a clear parallel to his rank and position on the Host. Due to Lucifer's defiance and disobedience, he has lost his angelic status and as well as his place on the Host.
- Gabriel - Gabriel was an active member of the Host, however, due to the Lucifer's constant argumentative out bursts towards Michael, Gabriel decided to leave the Host (heaven) and retreat to Earth as a temporary fix to his dilemma.
- Raphael - Raphael is an active member of the Host. Besides the fact that he is an active member, he has seemingly lost faith in God. This was illustrated when Raphael made the comment, "God is dead"; Raphael thought that if God was in fact alive, how then could all of the terrible catastrophes be active with God alive." This statement is very ironic; theoretically God can't die nor age or grow tired.
- Zachariah - When Zachariah failed to get Dean's consent for Michael, Michael terminated his position on the Host. However, just recently, Michael re-elected Zachariah to his prior Job (getting Dean to consent to Michael). Zachariah was the one responsible for putting together a group of angels, all of which wanted the 66 Seals broken; these angels wanted the seals broken for they thought that if Lucifer ascended from Hell, they would then send Michael down to his chosen vessel (Dean Winchester) and use his vessel to defeat Lucifer.
- Castiel - At first, Castiel directed most of his efforts towards following orders. Castiel as of this date in now more humanized, this is mainly because he has spent a considerable amount of time on Earth watching over the Winchesters. This has changed his perspective to such a degree that he has rebelled for Dean's sake; Cass has sacrificed everything for Dean Winchester (this includes his Host position as well as his angelic reputation), when Dean neglects to remember this fact, Cass sternly reminds him periodically. Cass had lost his position on the Host until he was resurrected a second time. It is strongly implied that he is now an Archangel and will return to Heaven as the new commander of the Host (Viceroy of Heaven).
- Anna - At one point Anna was part of the Host. However due to her personal insecurities and longing for independence, she decided to rebel, this led to her "fall". At one point Anna did had authority over Castiel and Uriel for she was their superior at the time.
- Joshua - Joshua is an angel who talks directly with God. God talks to Joshua periodically, rarely does Joshua talk to God, as Joshua said "God does more of the talking and I just listen in to his words" (Not an Exact Quote). Joshua is an active member of the Host.
- Uriel - Uriel was first introduced as being a "specilast". Uriel was originally under Castiel's authority. Later on, Uriel was premoted to a higher rank than Castiel; it should be noted that this was mainly due to Castiel's difience to his angelic leaders, which led to Castiel's rebellion. Uriel finally reveled that he was in fact working for the fallen angel named Lucifer. Uriel made many attempts to persuade the angels in his Garrison (including Castiel) to join his cause - freeing Lucifer from Hell. Cass denied this offer, this led to an angelic fight between Castiel and Uriel. Uriel got the upper hand and was about to slay Cass, when Anna appeared just in time to slay Uriel with The Angel killing Blade.
- Cupid - Cherubs in general play an amusing role on the Host. Basically, their main focus is to bring "special couples" (such as John and Mary Winchester) together. Generally this order comes from those who have high amounts of authority, such as: Zachariah, Michael. Cupid told Dean and Sam that it was in fact a Cherubim who brought Mary and John together - it was crucial that this happened, and over time, Mary and John did get married; it was very important that they had two children (Dean and Sam), for Michael and Lucifer depended on it for these "two" children were destined to be their Vessels. As this was iterated by an Archangel named Gabriel, "As it is in heaven, so it must be on earth." "One brother has to kill the other."
Go ahead! Get it over with. I’m ready. Wait, what? Yes! Anything, of course! Just—just put me back in. You won’t regret it. Thank you! Thank you!
