– Uriel, 4.16 On the Head of a Pin
History
Introduced as a "specialist" by Castiel, Uriel took a vessel and joined Castiel in trying to prevent witches from breaking another seal: raising Samhain. Dean questioned what kind of specialist he was but received no answer. Uriel admits that the town he and Castiel are in isn't the first one that he has "purified."[1]
Within the Host of Heaven, Uriel was originally supervised by Castiel. But Castiel was later demoted from his supervisor station and was placed under Uriel's authority due to his growing compassion for humans.[2] Castiel and Uriel are known to have fought alongside each other during numerous angelic battles waged by Heaven. He states to Dean Winchester that, "We raised you out of Hell for our purposes." Suggesting that Uriel may have been part of the legion of angels, who went to Hell to rescue Dean.[2]
Soon after Alastair's death,[2] it was revealed that Uriel had been trying to break the seals the entire time. He tells Castiel that he was responsible for the deaths of some angels that were once in their garrison, as he wanted their help to free Lucifer, but denied him, which forced his hand. He wanted Lucifer to reign over Earth and assume leadership in Heaven because Uriel believes that God is no longer running things and that he must be dead.
Episodes
4.07 It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester
Uriel arrives with Castiel, and appears to be keen on obliterating the town in order to prevent Samhain from rising rather than let Sam and Dean attempt to prevent it -- an attitude later revealed to be against the angels' true orders which were to follow whatever course of action Dean decided. After Samwain is sent back to Hell, Uriel castigates Sam for using his powers and makes it clear that he is dispensable.

Later, when they are hidden by hex bags, Uriel appears to Dean in a dream, demanding he hand over Anna, and revealing that he holds her grace in a vial around his neck. When Uriel threatens to kill Sam, Dean finally gives in. Anna agrees to go with Uriel and Castiel when they arrive, but Alastair also appears, having been led there by Ruby, causing the angels and demons battle. Uriel easily kills Alastair's two minions, but Anna takes advantage of his distraction to snatch the vial with her grace back and smash it, allowing her to become an angel again and destroying Alastair's meatsuit. Uriel is furious and tries to attack Sam and Dean in revenge, but is stopped by Castiel. Unknown to Uriel and Castiel, this was Sam and Dean's plan all along.
4.16 On the Head of a Pin
