====The Hierarchy of Demons====
* '''[[White-eyed Demon|White-eyed Demons]]''' – The demon chiefs of staff. There have only been two known white-eyed demons: Lilith, the first demon created by Lucifer, and Alastair, who is at least very old and powerful, if not even the second oldest demon in the existence of the show's myth.<ref name="essential">[[The Essential Supernatural: On the Road with Sam and Dean Winchester]]</ref> Lilith is supossed to be "older and more powerful than [[Yellow Eyes]] and thus holds a higher status than Azazel, although she don't get much higher than her until you start digging into Lucifer's territory".<ref name="companion 3">[[Supernatural: The Official Companion Season 3]]</ref> Alastair is said to be Hell's master torturer, while Lilith is supossed to be the Queen of Crossroads <ref name="essential">[[The Essential Supernatural: On the Road with Sam and Dean Winchester]]</ref> and the Ruler of [[Witches]]. <ref name="companion 3">[[Supernatural: The Official Companion Season 3]]</ref>
* '''[[Princes of Hell]]''' – Yellow-eyed demons who served as generals of Hell's demon army. The Princes were said to have been created before the sinking of Atlantis, and were the first generation of demons created soon after Lilith by Lucifer. However, at some unspecified time, three of the four Princes abandoned Hell and Lucifer's plan, leaving [[Azazel]] to go forward with attempting to free Lucifer from [[the Cage]]. In the absence of Lucifer and Lilith being imprisoned deep within the Pit, Azazel took control of Hell.<ref name="three04 /> Crowley later told [[Ramiel]] that with Lucifer locked away and Azazel and Lilith dead, Ramiel was next in line for Hell's Throne but neither Ramiel nor any of the other Princes wanted it.<ref name="twelve12" /> After Crowley's death, [[Asmodeus]] was able to use his status as the last Prince of Hell to become the next King of Hell.<ref name="thirteen02" />
* '''[[Knights of Hell]]''' – Hell's elite guard. The Knights were some of the first [[soul]]s handpicked by [[Lucifer]] to become demons.
Following her brief hesitation, Lilith quickly rededicates herself to breaking the last seals and breaks several in a very short time frame until she is the only one left.<ref name="four21" /> At St. Mary's Convent in Ilchester, Maryland, the location of the door to [[Lucifer's Cage]], Lilith faces off with Sam who is high on enough demon blood to kill her. After Sam hesitates due to Dean's interference, Lilith purposefully goads Sam by calling him a monster for what he has done to reach the point where he could kill her and that after all of that "you're not gonna bite." Sam kills Lilith with his powers, exhausting them in the process. Lilith dies having achieved her ultimate purpose with Lilith's blood forming the portal to Lucifer's Cage that he emerges through.<ref name="four22" /><ref name="five01" />
She should to be older and more powerful than [[Yellow Eyes]] and thus holds a higher status than Azazel, although she don't get much higher than her until you start digging into Lucifer's territory. She's also consideredto be the Ruler of [[Witches]]<ref name="companion 3">[[Supernatural: The Official Companion Season 3]]</ref>

===[[Alastair]]===
[[Alastair]] is a at least very old and powerfu, if not even the second demon ever created who was [[Hell]]'s master torturer in <ref name="essential">[[HellThe Essential Supernatural: On the Road with Sam and Dean Winchester]]</ref>, and specifically was [[Dean]]'s torturer. He is described by [[Ruby]] as "practically the Grand Inquisitor downstairs. Picasso with a razor."<ref name="four09" /> Alastair is known to be a very powerful and sadistic demon. He has white eyes (iris and pupil). He tortured both Dean and [[John]], and in both instances offered to end the torment if they would become torturers themselves.<ref name="four16" /> At some point, he also tutored [[Meg]] in the art of torture though [[Crowley]] would find the skills she learned lacking.<ref name="six10" /> Alastair's power is such that while he can be hurt by the [[demon-killing knife]], it is incapable of killing him,<ref name="four09" /><ref name="four16" /> a feat that is only seen elsewhere with the [[Knights of Hell]]<ref name="eight12" /><ref name="nine11" /> and [[Princes of Hell]].<ref name="twelve12" /> Additionally, he is immune to angelic [[smiting]]<ref name="four10" /> and has an incredibly high threshold for pain, even appearing to greatly enjoy it.<ref name="four16" /> At first, Alastair is immune to Sam's powers,<ref name="four09" /> but after Sam begins drinking [[demon blood]] again he becomes strong enough to potentially exorcise Alastair<ref name="four15" /> and later to kill him.<ref name="four16" /> At one point, Alastair implies that he may have had a role in the creation of the Nazi concentration camps.<ref name="four10" /> Alastair is one of the few if not the only demon that actually enjoys Hell because of the pain he gets to inflict there on a daily basis, in contrast considering the Earth to be an "arctic craphole."<ref name="four15" />
