Changes

* [[Jimmy Novak]] was chosen by [[Castiel]] to be his vessel. While he initially consented, Jimmy is keen to resume his life with his family after Castiel is forcibly summoned back to [[Heaven]]. He does resume his former angelic occupation as Castiel's vessel. Unlike Dean, Jimmy can hear Castiel's true voice and perceive his true visage unharmed. <ref name="four20" /> Since the loss of his [[grace]], Castiel has become a vessel as [[Hael]] attempted to force him to consent to her when her originally chosen vessel began to deteriorate <ref name="nine01" /> and he later acted as the vessel to [[Lucifer]] for several months though the effort of containing the archangel began to burn out both Castiel and Jimmy. Lucifer was later exorcised from Castiel and Jimmy's body by [[Amara]].<ref name="eleven22" /> Jimmy remains Castiel's vessel despite the fact that Jimmy himself is long-since dead.<ref name="ten09">[[10.09 The Things We Left Behind]]</ref>

* [[Claire Novak]] is Jimmy's daughter and is briefly a vessel for Castiel. After Jimmy is shot by a [[demon]] possessing his wife, Castiel possesses his daughter Claire. Jimmy, near death, begs to be allowed to take her place. Castiel agrees.<ref name="four20" />

* Alfie was a young man who worked at a fast food place called Wiener Hut. He was chosen by [[Samandriel]] to be his vessel, though he may or may not be his true vessel as Samandriel refers to him as the nearest vessel when he needed one. <ref name="eight02">[[8.02 What's Up, Tiger Mommy?]]</ref> Samandriel was primarily known to Dean by his vessel's name. Both Alfie and Samandriel were killed by Castiel in under the control of [[Naomi]].<ref name="eight10">[[8.10 Torn and Frayed]].</ref>

* [[Sam Winchester]] is able to act as a vessel for [[Gadreel]] so he can heal both himself and Sam. <ref name="nine01" /> Although not Gadreel's true vessel, Sam is able to bear Gadreel for an extended period of time, possibly because he is the true vessel of the more powerful [[angelarchangel]] [[Lucifer]]. Sam expels Gadreel when after he learns of the angel's presence in [[9.10 Road Trip]].<ref name="nine10" />

* Corey was a pop singer chosen by [[Thaddeus]] to be his vessel; Thaddeus possessed Corey because he wanted to enjoy Corey's pop star lifestyle. It is not mentioned if Corey was Thaddeus's true vessel, though Corey was evidently capable of containing [[angel]]s in general. Corey and Thaddeus were both killed by [[Gadreel]] in after he was sent after Thaddeus by [[9.10 Road TripMetatron]].<ref name="nine10" />

* Alexander Sarver was a man who was married to an unnamed woman and had a daughter named Delilah. Alexander was an unlikeable, abusive person. For this reason, [[Abner]] feels justified in using him as his vessel and supplanting his life. It is not stated one way or the other if Alexander was Abner's true vessel, but he was serviceable for [[angel]]s in general, as his body did not appear to deteriorate under Abner's [[possession]]. Alexander, along with Abner, was killed by Gadreel in [[9.10 Road Trip]].<ref name="nine10" />

* A woman named Darlene Foster was chosen by [[Rebecca]] to be her vessel. Whether or not Darlene was Rebecca's true vessel is unknown. When [[Bartholomew]] killed Rebecca, he also killed Darlene.<ref name="nine14">[[9.14 Captives]]</ref>

* [[Hannah]] used a woman named [[Caroline Johnson]] as her vessel until she returned to Heaven so that Caroline could return to her own life.<ref name="ten07">[[10.07 Girls Girls Girls]]</ref>
