I'll be there, right by his side, to nurture him, love him, to help him to... kill everything. You know, like a mother should.
– Dagon, 12.19 The Future
History
Dagon is a Prince of Hell, one of the oldest of the old demons, created by Lucifer himself after the creation of Lilith and before the sinking of Atlantis. Created to lead the demonic army against the forces of Heaven, at some point in time Dagon and her siblings Asmodeus and Ramiel abdicated their rank in Hell and took to living quiet lives on Earth with the demon hierarchy spreading the rumor that the Princes of Hell were all killed off to keep anyone from searching for them.
Characteristics
Dagon has yellow irises, no visible pupils, and white sclerae. Ramiel states that after they left Hell, she occupied herself with "her toys," though it is left unclear what he was referring to. Although Dagon lacks Azazel's religious devotion and faith in Lucifer, she begins working for Lucifer again after he promises that she may rule alongside him and his Nephilim son. It is inferred by Dagon that being in Lucifer's favor gave her the ability to kill angels, humans and demons with a touch. Like Azazel before her, Dagon's presence causes lightning storms.

Episodes
12.13 Family Feud
When Kelly Kline is cornered by two angels in an alley preparing to kill her and her unborn child, Dagon suddenly appears and tells the angels to get away from her. The male angel advances on Dagon, who stops him from stabbing her and swiftly kills him, exploding him into dust. The female angel attempts to move on Kelly, but is stopped when Dagon teleports to her and explodes her into dust as well. Afterwards she tells a shocked and rattled Kelly to come with her if she wants to live.
The next day, in a warehouse, Dagon explains to a still shocked Kelly that she is a demon and those were angels that were attempting to kill her. She also explains that Lucifer was an archangel and God's favorite, and that no one is born evil. She tells her that her child could grow up and save everyone.
12.17 The British Invasion
As Dagon is preparing a sandwich for Kelly, Lucifer reaches out to her to confirm that Kelly and his son are being well protected; he tells Dagon not to fail him again. When Kelly begins getting strange pains, she demands Dagon to take her to see a doctor. While getting a sonogram, the doctor appears to notice something strange, but is compelled by Dagon to tell Kelly that "everything looks a-okay."
Later, while Dagon is out getting supplies for Kelly, Kelly is found and taken by Dean Winchester who takes her to meet with Sam, Eileen Leahy, Mick Davies, and Renny Rawlings. Soon after arriving, a sudden lightning storm appears out of nowhere, and Dagon appears out of thin air and sends everyone flying through the air with telekinesis. As Dagon begins advancing on Kelly, Dean and Mick attempt to slow her down by shooting her, to no avail. She grabs Kelly and begins walking away. When Eileen grabs the Colt and fires it, Dagon disappears along with Kelly, causing the bullet to miss her and hit Renny in the chest, killing him.
Back at a safe house, Dagon handcuffs Kelly to the bed, telling her she can't be trusted. When Kelly tries to explain she was worried for the health of her child. Dagon tells her she doesn't need to worry, as the baby is strong and will be fine no matter what, but she will not. She tells Kelly that birthing a Nephilim is always fatal for the mother.
12.19 The Future
Kelly is seen in the basement of the safehouse refusing to take care of herself, even to the point where Dagon has to force her pills into Kelly's mouth. She tells her about what she will do with the baby before she unchains her and tells her to take a bath. Kelly tries to kill herself by cutting her wrists, but the Nephilim was able to keep her alive. After Dagon discovered what happened, Kelly tells her that her baby is not evil, but she tells Kelly that the baby saved her to save himself and that the outcome where he will be born and she will die hasn't changed.
After Joshua had tracked down Dagon, Castiel, Kelvin and Hozai had infiltrated it to retrieve Kelly and her baby. Castiel was able to escape with Kelly while Kelvin was captured by Dagon and Hozai was killed in the process. Lucifer called her to check in on his son, but Dagon had to tell him what happened, which infuriated him and made her kneel in pain from his scream. Lucifer promises to make her suffer if she fails to locate and retrieve Kelly. She promises to find them and goes on to torture Kelvin to find Castiel and Kelly who led her to Heaven's Gate right before she killed him.
After Castiel and Kelly arrive at the gate before Joshua, Dagon appears and kills him. While she attacks Castiel, Sam and Dean try to buy them time to escape but she was able to overpower them, taking the Colt and melting it in her hand. She goes to kill Castiel, who takes Kelly's hand and is unknowingly imbued with the Nephilim's power and is able to block Dagon's attack, leaving her confused as to how he could have done that. Castiel responds with "call it a miracle" and grabs Dagon, causing her to spontaneously combust, killing her.
