Nick
,no edit summary
After learning that nothing has been done in the decade since his wife and son's murders, Nick becomes determined to find the truth about happened to his family, going as far as becoming a budding [[serial killer]]. He targets people with special knowledge of the murders such as [[Arty Nielson]], a local priest, and [[Frank Kellogg]], but he also gets the urge to kill innocent people, developing quite a taste for the act. He discovers that the demon [[Abraxas]], whom Lucifer knew personally, possessed Kellogg that night and used his [[meatsuit]] to kill Nick's family with a hammer.<ref name="fourteen02" /><ref name="fourteen07" />
* In [[14.11 Damaged Goods12 Prophet and Loss]] , Nick's hospital wristband bears the surname "Vaught", a shoutout to Supernatural writer [[Nick Vaught]]. It has not been confirmed that this is Nick's real surname.

* Nick is the second main character portrayed by [[Mark Pellegrino]], a role which he took on after [[Lucifer]]'s death.
* With Nick's arrest at the end of [[14.11 Damaged Goods]], the death toll during his pursuit for revenge comes to five people and at least three demons, with Nick mentioning to the demon at the beginning of the episode that he had killed at least one more off-screen that led him to her. If either of those two unnamed demons' meatsuits were still alive, he would've killed them as well. In addition to murder, Nick's crimes included kidnapping, torture, breaking and entering, grand theft auto, resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer, and possibly attempted murder for attacking Mary Winchester on Abraxas's orders before Sam and Dean intervened.
* During the scenes where he commits his murders, Nick takes no visible precautions to stop himself from leaving [[fingerprints]], even leaving the hammer which he has touched with his bare hand behind at [[Arty Nielson]]'s crime scene, which explains why his fingerprints could be used to identify him as the killer. The fact that they specifically identified Nick by name when Donna ran them suggests that Nick has some kind of criminal history that resulted in his fingerprints being on file, otherwise there would've been no reason for Donna to get a specific match on him. * In [[14.12 Prophet and Loss]], his full name can be seen on his hospital bracelet: Vaught, Nick. [[Nick Vaught]] is the name of a former PA and current writer's assistant on ''Supernatural''.
* In [[14.12 Prophet and Loss]], its revealed that at least four different jurisdictions want to prosecute Nick for his crime spree. These presumably include Pike Creek, Delaware; Montauk, New York; and Grand Rapids, Michigan. Hibbing, Minnesota, may be another one, but Nick's crimes there only amounted to resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer. Another possibility is the location where Nick killed the demon that led him to Mary Winchester at the beginning of [[14.11 Damaged Goods]].
* Nick also shares a similar mindset to [[Jeffrey]] from [[7.15 Repo Man]]. Both men became serial killers after being possessed, Jeffrey by a demon and Nick by a fallen archangel. They also share a similar desire to be possessed again as they loved the power they had and both had radically changed due to separation anxiety.
