Episode(s) 6.15 The French Mistake

Virgil is an Angel of Heaven who managed and protected God's weapons in Heaven as an occupation. Sometime after Michael's imprisonment in Lucifer's Cage and Heaven falling into anarchy, the weapons were stolen by the rogue angel Balthazar. Virgil subsequently allied himself with Raphael and was given the task of tracking down the weapons he'd spent an eternity protecting.

Upon arriving on earth and taking a vessel, Virgil tracked down Balthazar and confronted him and the Winchesters at Bobby Singer's house where he witnessed the boys being transported into an alternate reality with the "key" to Balthazar's weapons stash.

Virgil followed them into an alternate universe where Sam and Dean were fictional TV characters portrayed by Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. Virgil ambushed the boys on a sewer stage set and tried to obliterate Dean, only to discover his powers were cut off in this dimension. The Winchesters were then able to overpower and almost beat the angel to death.

He stole the "key" and escaped, however; the nearby studio workers believing he was just another extra. Virgil hid and waited for an opportunity to kidnap someone, which as luck would have it turned out to be Misha Collins; the actor who portrays Raphael's chief opponent, Castiel.

He forced the terrified Misha to drive to an alleyway where he expressed his disgust for humanity and this particular universe before killing Misha and using his blood to commune with Raphael, learning that he needed to return to the spot where he first entered at the same exact time, where upon Raphael will be waiting to pull him back out.

Virgil then visited a gun shop and acquired two Berettas and a shotgun, stating that he was the guardian of Heaven's weapons before shooting the clerk and a customer, Terminator style.

Armed and dangerous, Virgil returned to the set and shot Supernatural creator Eric Kripke several times in dramatic slow-motion with the shotgun before going on an all-out rampage, killing everyone in sight as he made his way towards his point of exit. He was then briefly distracted by Sam, allowing Dean to get the drop on him, and together they beat Vigil into unconsciousness.

The brothers then retrieved the key from Virgil and used his exit strategy to escape the alternate universe and return to the "real" world where Raphael was waiting. The key is revealed to be a decoy as Balthazar explains that he has given all the weapons to Castiel, who in turn threatens to use them to destroy Raphael. With Raphael now on the run, Virgil is currently still stuck in the alternate reality.
