Who is yellow eyes in supernatural

Azazel reveals to Sam that "I have plans, Sammy, for you and all the children like you" and that he plans to kill Dean for his own version of "justice," angry about Dean's having killed Tom and under the impression that Dean had also exorcised Meg, who were his "boy" and "daughter," respectively.

As Azazel starts to tear Dean apart with his mind, John manages to regain control for a moment, freeing Sam, who confronts Azazel with The Colt. Azazel quickly reminds Sam that if he shoots him, he will kill John, too; Sam shoots him in the leg instead, wounding but not killing both Azazel and John. Weakened, Azazel again loses control to John, who urges Sam to kill him and Azazel while he can still keep the demon inside. However, Sam hesitates too long and Azazel soon manages to escape both John's body and the Winchesters, last being seen sinking through the cabin floor as demon smoke.

With Dean dying from the wounds Azazel gave him and injuries sustained in a car crash caused by a demon -possessed trucker , John Winchester summons Azazel, apparently to get revenge on him for what he did. Azazel, possessing a hospital janitor, tries to trick John into leaving, but he knows it's Azazel and points the Colt at him.

Prepared for John to try to take revenge, Azazel has brought along two other demons possessing hospital staff, but John reveals that he wants to make a deal instead. John offers Azazel the Colt and its last bullet in exchange for Azazel saving Dean's life. Azazel is surprised that John is willing to make a deal with him.

Although Azazel wants Dean dead for what he has done to his children, he doesn't believe that Dean or Sam are actually any threat to him, and so considers the deal, as he wants the Colt badly.

He asks if John knows what he has planned for Sam and John confirms it; the demon guesses that Sam himself doesn't know, and John's reaction confirms it. Azazel decides to accept the deal, but tells John that first he has to "sweeten the pot" with something Azazel wants just as much, if not more than, the Colt. John agrees on the condition that he gets to see that Dean is all right with his own eyes, as he doesn't trust that Azazel would fulfill his part of the deal.

As he is unable to save Dean's life on his own power, Azazel has to possess the hospital reaper , Tessa , and use her powers to heal Dean's injuries and erase Dean's memories of his out-of-body experience.

After seeing that Dean is all right, and passing on a warning to Dean in one last attempt to stop Azazel's plans, John hands the Colt over to Azazel. John's dead body is later found by Sam. Sam and Dean have John's research on Azazel, including the omens that appear when he is active, which is what John had used to track the demon.

They lend these notes to Ash to use in tracking Azazel; by the end of the episode, Ash has finished setting up a tracking system that will alert them if it detects signs of activity from Azazel anywhere in the country. When confronting his recently discovered twin brother Weber , Andy Gallagher learns that Weber found out about his existence from "the man with the yellow eyes" in his dreams and that Azazel had told him that he had big plans for them.

After everything is over, Sam and Dean learn from Ash that Weber's mother didn't die in a house fire like Sam, Max and Andy's mothers, meaning that not all of Azazel's Special Children can be tracked due to this unexpected discrepancy. Dean learns from a crossroads demon of his father's deal with Azazel. It is revealed that John had had to sell Azazel his life and soul in addition to the Colt and its last original bullet.

As a result of the deal and his death, John's soul is now in Hell and suffering enormously at the hands of demons. To test Sam's immunity to the Croatoan virus , Azazel has the town of River Grove, Oregon infected with the disease and Duane Tanner possessed by a demon in order to keep an eye on the progress of the outbreak.

Sam and Dean come to town after Sam gets a vision of Dean killing Duane. Sam is eventually infected by Nurse Pamela , but proves immune. The infected townspeople mysteriously disappear along with all traces of the virus, having been apparently cleaned up by demons after Sam proved immune.

In order to report on the progress, Duane slits Sarge 's throat and uses the goblet of blood to communicate with Azazel:. Scott Carey , a young man with psychic powers, has pictures of yellow eyes papering his closet.

He reveals to a psychiatrist that Azazel has been haunting his dreams and saying that there is a war coming and that people like Scott will be soldiers in the coming war.

Sam -- who has begun looking for answers after finding out that John told Dean he will have to save Sam from becoming evil or kill him in order to foil Azazel's plan -- and another psychic named Ava Wilson learn of Azazel's claims from a recording of the session, while hunter Gordon Walker learns from a demon he tortured and exorcised.

Gordon thus begins hunting psychic kids to prevent this, killing Scott and trying to kill Sam and Ava. After learning that a demon Meg is possessing Sam, Dean believes she is doing so under Azazel's orders, but she reveals that she doesn't care about his plans anymore and only wants revenge for her exorcism. Azazel has been kidnapping all of the Special Children over a series of months and dumping them in Cold Oak, South Dakota to fight to the death.

Eventually he kidnaps Sam, Jake Talley , Andy Gallagher and Lily at the same time and leaves them to have their fight while Ava Wilson, the only survivor of the previous groups of children, is there waiting. While Sam is asleep, Azazel, back in the body of the janitor from the hospital, comes to him in his dreams to speak to him. Azazel reveals that there are other generations of Special Children and that he has set up the death match as he only needs one of the children to survive.

He explains that he already has his army and just needs one of the children to be the leader; he is talking to Sam because he wants Sam, his "favorite," to be that leader, as he thinks that Sam has the traits that would make him a good leader namely, intelligence, skills, and training. Sam swears to kill Azazel, who indulgently encourages him to keep trying once he wakes up and wins the contest. Azazel tells Sam that he killed Jessica to push Sam back into hunting to keep honing his "gifts" and that he killed Mary only because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Feeling "charitable," Azazel shows Sam what really happened the night that Mary died: Azazel dripped demon blood into baby Sam's mouth, and Mary had interrupted them, so he killed her. To Sam's surprise, Mary recognized Azazel in the nursery before he killed her, but the present version of Azazel doesn't explain why. He uses his powers to make Sam wake up from the dream they're in so that Sam doesn't have to see Mary die.

After everyone else is killed, Jake reveals that Azazel came to him in his sleep, too, and that the demon will only let one of them go or else kill them both.

Jake kills Sam in order to escape himself so that he can find and kill Azazel to avenge all of the Special Children. As Jake Talley is the last surviving special child, Azazel comes to him in his dreams to get him to do what he wants, though he admits that Jake isn't the child he had expected or even wanted to win. Jake threatens to kill Azazel, but he tells Jake that that is not easy to do and that others have tried.

Azazel tells Jake that he has a "laundry list" of things he wants Jake to do for him, and threatens Jake's family to make Jake comply. Needing Jake to open the Devil's Gate in Wyoming to release his demon army, Azazel meets him in person at the edge of the giant devil's trap as he can't cross it.

When Azazel reveals that the Colt can kill him, Jake is about to shoot him with it, but Azazel only mockingly pretends to be afraid before convincing Jake to do what he wants with promises of luxury and power. Jake becomes corrupted by his powers and his eyes gleam yellow at one point, further demonstrating his connection to Azazel. After the gate is opened, demons break the devil's trap surrounding the cemetery and Azazel is at last able to enter the cemetery himself.

There, he confronts Dean, who is armed with the Colt. Azazel easily disarms Dean and pins him to a headstone and the resurrected Sam to a tree. He taunts Dean about his deal, thanking him for bringing Sam back into play so that he can use him instead of Jake and mocking Dean's willingness to sacrifice himself for his family. Azazel fends off the attack from John's ghost , but when he reenters his body and goes to attack John, he realizes that Dean has retrieved the Colt and is about to shoot him.

Dean shoots Azazel in the heart with the Colt, killing him. With Azazel's death, John's ghost finds his peace and crosses over after sharing a moment with his sons. Dean and Sam stand over the body Azazel had died in, both a little taken aback at having finally fulfilled the mission their father had raised them for.

While Sam doesn't know what to say, Dean does, proclaiming, "That was for our mom, you son of a bitch. Ruby reveals that all of Mary Winchester 's friends have been killed, presumably by Azazel or demons working for him for an unknown reason. Sam checks this out and finds it to be true. While trapped in a basement with Dean, the demon Casey tells him Azazel's name and that he had been a "tyrant" in charge of the demon army he had Jake Talley release.

She explains that, with Azazel dead and Sam not taking up leadership of the army like Azazel had wanted, anarchy is breaking loose among the demons. After being sent back to by Castiel , Dean learns that a demon is making deals with people for various things in exchange for permission to enter their houses in ten years. He realizes that it is Azazel, as the demon is described as having yellow eyes.

In response, Dean goes after the Colt to kill Azazel in that time period in order to save his family and everyone Azazel will kill. Possessing Dr.

Brown, Azazel tells Liddy Walsh that her mother's cancer has metastasized, and starts to offer her a deal when a trio of hunters arrive and attack him; first, Samuel Campbell bursts in and shoots him. Azazel telekinetically disarms and then pins Samuel down, but when he goes to kill Samuel, he is next distracted by Mary Campbell , whose determination and ferocity get his appreciation. Finally, when Dean shows up with the Colt, Azazel, stunned by the Colt's sudden appearance, initially tries to use Mary as a human shield; when she escapes and Dean is about to shoot him, Azazel is forced to flee Dr.

Dean was later given a double dose of djinn poison; his hallucination involved Azazel murdering Lisa in the same fashion as his mother and convincing Ben to drink his blood as Ruby did to Sam, with Azazel repeatedly telling Dean that it's all his fault and he can't stop it. This hallucination ended when Dean received more antidote to the djinn poison.

In As Time Goes By , while angrily confronting his grandfather , Dean tells him that John lost his wife to a demon before subsequently being killed by one himself. In Goodbye Stranger , it is revealed that Azazel is one of the few demons who were entrusted with the knowledge of the location of Lucifer's Crypts and its contents, due to his high-ranking status and closeness to his father.

At an unspecified point, over a hundred years before he visited them, and took his servant, and demon daughter Meg with him. Meg thus also knew their location, which in garnered the interest of Crowley , who was looking for them. In Fan Fiction , Marie 's stage play of Supernatural involved a student dressed as Azazel in a full black suit and mask, the only definitive part of him being his yellow eyes. In the play Azazel's imitator reenacts the murder of Mary and poisoning of Sam. Dean later tells her that John died trading himself for Dean to a demon though he doesn't name Azazel when he tells her this.

In Stuck in the Middle With You , Azazel is revealed to have been a Prince of Hell , the first generation of demons after Lilith , a generation turned by Lucifer himself and trained to be generals of the demon armies. In a flashback to after Lucifer's defeat in , Crowley visits Ramiel , who calls Azazel "a fanatic" and states that the other Princes of Hell had long stopped caring about Lucifer's plan while Azazel never had.

Mary is surprised that Toni knows the details of her deal with Azazel. In All Along the Watchtower , the Winchesters and Castiel visit a post-apocalyptic alternate reality where Bobby Singer reveals that an alternate Azazel had killed John but never revived him, resulting in that world.

He also killed Mary thirty years later, likely during a hunt. Bobby reveals that Mary had refused the deal with her Azazel , causing the alternate Mary to live a life of regret. Mary realizes that as a result, Sam and Dean never existed to stop the Apocalypse and reveals to Bobby that in her world, she made the deal with Azazel.

Bobby reassures Mary that given the outcome of her refusing it in Apocalypse World, Mary made the right choice. In Lebanon , after John Winchester is pulled from by the Baozhu , Sam and Dean tell him about everything that has happened, including the death of Azazel and John's role in it. John is pleased to have gotten his revenge upon Azazel for Mary's murder, stating that getting revenge was what it had all been about for him.

John later tells Dean that he had intended for it all to end once he had gotten his revenge and hoped that afterwards, Dean would be able to go and lead a normal life.

After Sam destroys the Baozhu and returns John to , he forgets the future and all that he learned from Sam and Dean about Azazel and his plans, believing it to only be a great dream. Azazel took pleasure in inflicting pain whether psychological or physical onto others. Having a sadistic sense of humor, he liked to play with his victims' emotions by convincing them that their worst fears were true before he killed them.

His signature method of murder was exceptionally vicious: he telekinetically pinned his victims to the ceiling, slit their stomachs open and burned them alive while ensuring that their husbands witnessed their death.

Strangely, unlike many demons, Azazel rarely killed when it was unnecessary, as he does not kill the parents of his special children when they did not interrupt his blood rituals and even states that Mary's death was simply bad luck.

However, Azazel had no regard for human life and frequently used murder to motivate the actions of his target as shown where he orders the death of Jessica and ensure Sam witnesses her death simply to get Sam hunting again or by slaughtering a group of nuns in order to contact Lucifer.

He considered murdering everyone Sam loved as just "the cost of doing business. Ironically, this led to his downfall, as it gave Dean enough time to kill him with the last bullet from the Colt. Azazel was smug and self-assured of his own power. His arrogance compelled him to endanger his own life simply for the sake of making a point.

For example, in Devil's Trap he possessed John in order to steal the Colt and kill Dean when he could easily have killed both John and Dean and taken the Colt without trying to trick Dean into giving it to him, but the appeal of further tormenting the Winchesters and asserting his superiority was too strong for him to resist.

He showed open amusement at the idea of anyone succeeding at killing him and would taunt the person who threatened to do so. As a major driving force and architect behind Lucifer 's complex release from Hell, Azazel was highly manipulative and cunning. He took advantage of any opportunity he could, such as forcing John to sacrifice both the Colt and his own life in exchange for Dean's resurrection, with the hope that John's spirit would possibly break the first of the 66 seals by his time in Hell as a righteous or good man who must spill blood in Hell to avoid torture, the latter which was achieved by Dean.

Alastair confirms John was the original target to break the seal, something Azazel likely tried to use to his advantage before John even died. Azazel often quickly modified his plans to accommodate unforeseen circumstances, such as the death of his favorite special child and survival of another and then again when the reverse unexpectedly occurred.

He relished bending others to his will, to the point that he favored Sam out of all the special children because he wanted to corrupt Sam's kind-hearted nature, as well as due to the latter's skills and intelligence making him a capable weapon. Azazel was skilled at manipulation and corruption, successfully convincing Jake, Ava, and Ansem to give in to their powers and kill innocent people to further their goals. Azazel viewed his fellow demons as his family; he genuinely regarded his followers as his "children" and was enraged when Dean killed one and exorcised another.

Most demons feared Azazel and considered him a cruel tyrant, even the Seven Deadly Sins feared him for his capabilities.

Azazel was also deeply loyal to his father, Lucifer, whom he continued to believe in and search for even when most demons had given up. He held these "non-believers" in contempt, calling them "dickless heathens. Azazel telling Dean that he killed his son Tom , showing sorrow. Azazel's comments in In The Beginning indicate that he possessed great knowledge of angels as he deduced that only they could send Dean back in time and remarked that Dean must have "friends in high places.

According to his brother Ramiel , Azazel was a fanatic and the only one of the Princes of Hell who ultimately still cared about Lucifer's plans. Azazel was demon , a Prince of Hell , but before both his name and title became known in Hell , he was literally called The Yellow-Eyed Demon a specific racial description for a General of Hell. It has been shown that its true form, which manifests itself on earth as black smoke, looks like a skull. He usually posses a pale caucasian middle-aged male in a dark trench coat, a tie, and a formal hat.

The colt, at the time, had one bullet in it. Dean told Sam not to shoot him, as that would kill their father as well. Azazel was eventually able to leave John and send a demon to injure them with a truck. Sam and John survived, but Dean was mortally wounded. To save his son John made a deal with Azazel to heal Dean, in exchange for the Colt and his soul. So Azazel possessed the Reaper , Tessa, and healed Dean. Then he killed John, sending his soul to Hell. Eventually, Azazel put the final phase of his plan into motion and gathered all the surviving psychics he created, including Sam, at a ghost town, where their object was to kill each other, as Azazel only needed one.

Jake was the ultimate survivor, killing Sam. Azazel gave him the Colt and told him to open the Hell's Gate. However, Dean made a deal with a demon to revive Sam, and together they went to the cemetery that the Hell's Gate was located in. After Jake opened the Hell's Gate and was killed by Sam, Azazel trapped Dean and was about to kill him with the Colt's last bullet when John's spirit escaped through the Hell's Gate and pulled Azazel out of his human body.

By the time Azazel took repossession of it, Dean had picked up the Colt, and before Azazel could do anything to stop him, Dean shot him in the heart with the Colt, killing him. Despite his death, however, he had successfully opened the Hell's Gate and released Lilith, thus allowing the next phase of the demons' plan to release Lucifer to eventually go into effect. His name was not revealed until some time after his death, mentioned by a demon in Season 3.

Sam and Dean always called him "the yellow-eyed demon", "the demon", or "Yellow-Eyes", and continued to do so even after learning his name. He seemingly returned at the beginning of the sixth season, saying God brought him back, but this turned out to be a hallucination caused by a trio of Djinn. Azazel was a Prince of Hell who are one of the most strongest demons in existence only rivaled by Lilith.

He was also stronger than all other demons, and immune to almost all demonic weaknesses. It is unclear whether Ruby's knife has any effect on him, as Ramiel is shown to be durable to it and the knife was not introduced until after Azazel's death. The knife is probably only effective on regular black-eyed demons. Azazel has shown these known abilities in the series.
