Following [[Crowley]]'s death, Asmodeus came out of hiding to take over [[Hell]] as its interim king until Lucifer could return with [[Jack]], taking up residence in [[Needham Asylum]]. Soon, he becomes satisfied being the king and at his first opportunity he turns on a weakened Lucifer and imprisons him.
After the rescue of Gabriel by [[Mr. Ketch]], Asmodeus attempted to reclaim the archangel by leading a demonic incursion into [[the Bunker]]. The attack stirred Gabriel into action against his former captor. Asmodeus proved to be no match for the enraged archangel and was incinerated by Gabriel.
==Characteristics==
By injecting himself regularly with low doses of the archangel Gabriel's grace, Asmodeus was able to go from the weakest of Lucifer's "children" to the most powerful, gaining new abilities thanks to the celestial power coursing through him, these included:
* Ergokinesis - Do – Due to GabrileGabriel's grace, Asmodeus showed the ability to wield energy blasts.* Invulnerability - Asmodues – Asmodeus was shown to be invulnerable to most standard attacks, as well having the ability to completely bypass the [[Men of Letters Bunker]]'s [[Warding Sigils|warding]]. As Azazel was impervious to holy water, it can be assumed this extended to Asmodeus as well.* [[Shapeshifting - ]] – Asmodeus was the only demon to show the ability to shapeshift due to his usage of archangel grace. A layer of white smoke would envelop his body, allowing him to take on the form of any person, demon , or angel. As he briefly took Castiel's form, his shapeshifting ability is also shown to conceal his dark aura, even from [[Donatello Redfield]], although the prophet could still feel his presence.* [[Mind control]] - Asmodeues – Asmodeus was able to give humans directives against their will, as evidenced when he turned [[Donatello Redfield]] into a sleeper agent for himself. * [[Smiting]] - – Due to the archangel grace, Asmodeus was able to turn people into dust with a gesture, as well as burn demons from the inside of their meatsuits. * [[Telekinesis]] - – With archangel grace he was able to easily over-power overpower Castiel and Lucifer with a hand gesture.* [[Teleportation]] - – As a [[Prince of Hell]], he had the ability to teleport anywhere he wished.* Voice mimicry - – Asmodeus was able to mimic the voice of Casitel Castiel to keep the Winchesters off of his trail.
===Weaknesses===
* [[Archangel]]s - – Higher beings such as archangels were able to inflict harm and kill Asmodeus. Lucifer was able to permanently scar Asmodeus' [[meatsuit]] at some point in the past, and the weakened Gabriel was able to kill him through spontaneous combustion, despite being weakened by Asmodeus's consumption of his archangel grace.* [[The Colt]] – The Colt can kill a Prince of Hell as seen with the death of [[Azazel]].* [[Lance of Michael]] - – Being pierced with the lance would have killed Asmodeus. However, it is unknown if the archangel grace coursing through him would have caused him to die a slower death rather than an instant one like his brother [[Ramiel]].* [[Nephilim]] - – Even with the power of an archangel coursing through him, Asmodeus still chose to flee rather than confront an angry [[Jack]].
==Episodes==
Answering Castiel's cell phone, Asmodeus disguises his voice to sound like Cas and tells [[Dean]] that he is looking into a very interesting lead and will contact him when he knows more. After hanging up, Asmodeus informs [[Arthur Ketch]] of his current plans for Lucifer and Castiel and that he will be needing Jack even more now that a new version of [[Michael (Apocalypse World)|Michael]] plans on coming to their world.

===[[13.13 Devil's Bargain]]===
Asmodeus returns to [[Needham Asylum]], after running "an important errand." Angry that his subordinates allowed Lucifer and Castiel to escape confinement, Asmodeus agrees with Ketch that attempting to hold Lucifer was "monumentally stupid" and thus changes tactics and orders Ketch to kill Lucifer. Seeing Ketch visibly apprehensive about the task, Asmodeus assures him that Lucifer is running on empty and that an angel blade to the heart should kill him... probably, but Ketch needs to act quick before Lucifer regains his power or they will all die.
===[[13.20 Unfinished Business]]===
Gabriel reveals to Sam and Dean that when he fled to Monte Carlo, he was partying with [[Fenrir Odensbane]], [[Narfi]], and [[Sleipnir]]. [[Loki]], angry at Gabriel for the death of [[Odin]], had his three sons turn against him and sell him to Asmodeus. Gabriel also states that while killing Asmodeus gave him satisfaction "for a hot minute," he will not be completely satisfied until he has had revenge on all of Loki's family. ===[[14.01 Stranger in a Strange Land]]===[[Kipling]] reveals that with the deaths of [[Crowley]] and [[Lucifer]], and Asmodeus being "Kentucky fried," Hell has been left without a leader for the first time in forever.
