- - Crowley.
- Crowley is Lilith's right hand man (and possible lover according to Becky Rosen). Bela told Dean that she had given the Colt gun to Lilith when in fact, she gave it to Crowley. This was discovered after super fan Becky told Sam she read it in Chuck's book, 3.15 Time Is On My Side. 5.09 The Real Ghostbusters
He tells Sam and Dean that he is "in sales" and it appears he is possibly in charge of the Crossroads Demons.
5.10 Abandon All Hope
Castiel tracks Crowley to his Enochian protected mansion after witnessing him make a deal with Mr. Pendleton, a 60 year-old businessman.
Sam and Dean killed Crowley's demon gate guards and broke into the building, cutting off the power. Crowley approached them openly, however, and used the Colt to kill his other guards. Crowley gave the Colt to the Winchesters and asked them to kill Lucifer as he believed the fallen angel held no love for his human-spawned creations and would quickly seek their destruction once the humans were all wiped out. This is later confirmed when Lucifer sacrifices demons to raise Death and apathetically says to Sam; "What? They're just demons."
Sam tried to shoot Crowley, but the weapon wasn't loaded, so Crowley provided him with some ammunition before calling them both "morons" and promptly vanishing on the spot.
