Castiel (Supernatural) Although Castiel is confirmed to be dead, Jack, Lucifer's son, who regards Castiel as his guardian, is able to make Castiel 'wake up' in the Empty, the place where angels and demons go when they die, and is eventually returned to life when the entity that controls the Empty finds him annoying now that he is the first being to awake in that place. However, he is subsequently captured along with Lucifer when Lucifer returns to this world to warn them about the Michael of the parallel universe, who seeks to rule this world as well.
Castiel (Supernatural) Castiel /ˌkæstiˈɛl/ is a fictional character portrayed by Misha Collins on the CW Television Network's American television series Supernatural. An Angel of the Lord, he first appears in the fourth season, and is used to introduce the theme of Christian theology to the series. In the series, Castiel brings Dean Winchester back from Hell and frequently helps him and his brother Sam in their battles with various demons and angels along the way. During his travels with the Winchesters, Castiel develops friendships with both men. As an angel, he possesses a number of supernatural abilities, including the ability to kill demons.[1] Initially, the character demonstrates complete devotion to God and little emotion. However, his interactions and experiences with Dean Winchester and Sam Winchester, as well as certain revelations about God and his fellow angels, have a humanizing effect on him. This, despite the stress and harm it causes his character, allows him to develop an independent will as the series progresses and helps the show address topics related to free will.
