===[[4.21 When the Levee Breaks]]===
While withdrawing from the [[demon blood]], Sam hallucinates that he is being tortured by Alastair.
==Alastair in Lore==
The character Alastair may be a reference to the [[demon]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alastor Alastor] in Christian demonology. Alastor is the chief executioner and torturer for the monarch of [[Hell]]. He is an exceptionally cruel demon. The name "Alastor" became a common place term in reference to evil spirits or foul tempered individuals.
==Trivia==
* The character may be a reference to British occultist [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alastair_Crowley Aleister Crowley], who during his day was dubbed "the wickedest man in the world" by the press. At one point, [[Led Zeppelin]] guitarist Jimmy Page developed an interest in Crowley. Page once owned Boleskine House, Crowley's estate on the shores of Loch Ness.
** In addition, another demon named [[Crowley]] later appears.
