==Characteristics==

Alastair has white eyes (including pupils and irises).<ref name="four09" /> He is noted as an expert interrogator and torturer,<ref name="four10" /> and is also incredibly resilient to being tortured himself; according to [[Castiel]], he has an exceptionally strong will, allowing him to withstand extended torture from both [[angels]] and one of his own apprentices.<ref name="four16" /> Alastair possesses an extensive knowledge of the occult as well as [[Enochian]] spells and rituals, including an incantation with an unknown negative effect on [[angel]]s<ref name="four10" /> as well as another incantation that expels an angel from his [[vessel]] and sends him back to [[Heaven]],<ref name="four16" /> and spell-work to incapacitate [[reapers]].<ref name="four15" /> His presence causes statues to weep blood.<ref name="four09" />

Now in a new [[meatsuit]] (his previous one having been destroyed by [[Anna]]), Alastair is attempting to break one of [[the 66 Seals]] by killing two [[reaper]]s under a solstice moon. He confronts [[Dean]] and [[Sam]] in a cemetery, and injures Dean, but Sam is resistant to his powers and fights back, revealing that he survived his last encounter with Anna. He flees when Sam tries to [[exorcise]] him with his powers and later returns in yet another meatsuit. When the boys become non-corporeal, and therefore subject to [[ghost]]ly weaknesses, they track Alastair down at a funeral home and he traps them with an iron chain. He kills one [[reaper]], but the boys rescue [[Tessa]], preventing the seal from being broken. Later as he confronts Dean, Alastair is captured by [[Castiel]].

===[[4.16 On the Head of a Pin]]===

Alastair is captured by [[Castiel]] and [[Uriel]] and imprisoned in a [[devil's trap]], but he refuses to tell them anything about the slain [[angel]]s. [[Dean]] is recruited as an interrogator because he was formerly Alastair's student during his time in [[Hell]]. After extensive torture, Alastair breaks free Uriel having sabotaged the devil's trap to prevent his role in the angelic deaths being revealed. He almost kills Dean, but is stopped by Castiel, who throws [[Ruby's knife]] and embeds it in Alastair's chest. Alastair pulls the knife out and fights Castiel. He manages to trap him against a pillar, and admits that while he is unable to kill the [[angel]], he will send him back to [[Heaven]]. Alastair begins to chant, but he is stopped by Sam, who has become strong enough to overpower him with ease. Sam forces Alastair to talk, then kills him via his abilities.
