Uriel
,no edit summary
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, particularly towards [[Dean]].<ref name="four16">[[4.16 On the Head of a Pin]]</ref>
Soon after [[Alastair]]'s death,<ref name="four16" /> it is 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 [[angel]]s 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. Castiel and Uriel are known to have fought alongside each other during numerous angelic battles waged by [[Heaven]]. Following his revelation of his rebellion, Castiel engages him in a battle and loses, but the [[Fallen Angels|fallen angel]] [[Anna]] stabs him from behind with his own [[angel swordblade]], killing him<ref name="four16" />.
He states to [[Dean Winchester]] that "We raised you out of [[Hell]] for our purposes." In many instances, the show suggests that Uriel may have been part of the legion of [[angel]]s, including Castiel, who went to Hell to rescue Dean.<ref name="four16">[[4.16 On the Head of a Pin]]</ref>

Uriel has been promoted above [[Castiel]], after his superiors were concerned about Castiel's empathy for [[Dean]]. He, along with Castiel, kidnaps Dean in order to have him torture [[Alastair]] and find out who's killing [[angel]]s. During the interrogation, unbeknownst to Castiel, Uriel causes the [[devil's trap]] holding Alastair to be broken. Uriel is one of a group of angels who support the release of [[Lucifer]], and he wants to free Alastair and kill [[Dean]]. When Castiel works this out, he confronts Uriel who admits the plan. He has been trying to recruit angels to the cause and killing those who refuse. He asks Castiel to join him, but Castiel refuses. [[Castiel]] engages Uriel in battle, but ultimately proves no match for him and Uriel beats Castiel, enraged at his continuing belief in [[God]]. As Uriel is about to punch Castiel again, [[Anna]] appears and stabs Uriel through the neck from behind with his own [[angel swordblade]], killing him.
