Alphas are the progenitors (or sources) of a certain line of [[Monsters|supernatural beings]], aka "the original monster(s)." [[Eve]], the Mother of All, is the creator of each line of monster.
According to [[Crowley]] and [[DeanWinchester]] in [[7.22 There Will Be Blood]] all of the Alphas except the [[Alpha Vampire]] were killed by [[Castiel]] with the exception of the [[Alpha Shapeshifter]] which was killed by Crowley. With the death of the Alpha Vampire in [[12.14 The Raid]], the Alphas are officially extinct. In [[15.09 The Trap]], it's mentioned by a [[Leviathan]] that [[Eve]] is seeking revenge for the deaths of the Alphas.
==Characteristics==
===Strengths===
Alphas are more resilient to pain than the average monster. They appear to carry little to no weaknesses to weapons that can normally kill their "children."
According to lore, all Alphas have a connection with their entire race, which allows the Alpha to locate them.<ref name="six02">[[6.02 Two and a Half Men]]</ref> For the [[Alpha Vampire]], this connection also allows allowed communication through shared visions or telepathy. Existing for thousands of years, they appear appeared to have vast knowledge on everything supernatural or otherwise that occurs in the Earth, including information on [[Purgatory]].
===Weaknesses===
Alphas have very few, if any, weaknesses. A blade made from the rare metal iridium was shown to cause the Alpha Shapeshifter pain, while [[silver ]] was shown to not affect it. The Alpha Vampire was also shown to be weakened by [[dead man's blood]], however he required multiple bags being pumped into his body to keep him somewhat subdued; unhooked from the dead man's blood, it would take him less than an hour to return to full strength. More recently [[the The Colt]] was shown to be capable of killing Alphas when it was used by [[Sam Winchester]] to shoot the Alpha Vampire through the head, killing him.
