==History==
Belphegor is was an old demon, very proficient in spell work, who left [[Hell]] when [[Chuck]] opened all the doors. He described his life as a human as coming from a time where people were "ugly" and worshiped a giant rock that looked like a penis. As a demon, he is was a self-described "clock puncher," and enjoyed his work tormenting the [[soul]]s that entered Hell. Motivated by his desire for life in Hell to go back to how it was before the souls were released, after taking over [[Jack]]'s corpse as a meatsuit, he offers his services to the Winchesters and [[Castiel]]. Belphegor claims that he's neither a crossroads demon nor a black-eyed demon.
Belphegor is was also a fan of [[Dean Winchester]]'s from when he spent his time in Hell and tortured under [[Alastair]]. He calls what Dean did "more than torture", telling him how he thought it was art.
While initially appearing to act as an ally to the Winchesters in stopping the ghost apocalypse caused by Chuck, it is revealed by the demon [[Ardat]] that Belphegor has spent centuries in Hell looking for a chance to seize power for himself. With all of the other leaders of Hell dead, Belphegor uses used the situation with the [[Hell Ghostsghosts]] to seize his chance, but is [[smiting|killed]] by [[Castiel]].

===[[15.03 The Rupture]]===
After Rowena's spell to power up the warding around Harlan fails, Belphegor leaves the crypt and is pursued by Castiel, who finds him standing at the rupture to Hell, where he Castiel he has an idea. Back in the crypt Belphegor tells the Winchesters and Rowena about [[Lilith's Crook]] -- a horn created by Lilith to call back any of Hell's creatures on earth and back to Hell. The crook had been sealed away in Lilith's Chamber, and with all the doors now open Belphegor believed he would be able to find it and call back all the souls. Belphegor asks for protection venturing into Hell, which Dean offers Castiel, much to the angel's chagrin.
Standing at the rupture, Belphegor tells Castiel he may die or even get trapped in Hell, though mocks him that it doesn't seem like Sam or Dean would really care. Questioning how they can get down, Castiel simply pushes Belphegor into the Pit and follows suit.
Belphegor and Castiel make it safety to Lilith's Chamber, where they find a demon, Malfayan, ransacking the room, whom Castiel kills. Searching the room, Belphegor finds a box holding the crook. Adorned in [[Enochian]] script, Castiel recites the song of praise to [[Lucifer]]. When nothing happens, Belphegor suggests he sing the verses.
Once the box is opened, Castiel is about to hand the horn to Belphegor, when [[Ardat]] attacks him and knocks him down. She stares at Belphegor and begins to beat him. When Castiel intervenes, Arday tries to warn him that Belphegor has always wanted the throne to Hell, but is stabbed in the back and killed before she could continue her warning. With the crook in hand, he sends Castiel flying out of the room and reveals the crook is also a siphon and how he plans to absorb all the souls and make himself like a god. As Belphegor blows the horn, it caused a great sound wave to hit Castiel as the souls begin flooding back into Hell. Castiel fights his way through the wave, and is able to knock Belphegor down. As Castiel begins punching Belphegor again and again, Belphegor attempts to manipulate Castiel, claiming to be Jack. Angry, Castiel uses considerable power to smite Belphegor, which renders him a burned out husk and destroys the crook.
