The first demon was created by the [[archangel]] [[Lucifer]], after [[God]] banished him from [[Heaven]] for refusing to revere humans. In revenge, he took a human woman -- [[Lilith]] -- and stripped away her humanity to make her the first demon. Other demons would follow, such as [[Alastair]] and the four [[Princes of Hell]] -- [[Azazel]], [[Ramiel]], [[Dagon]] and [[Asmodeus]] -- who would act as Hell's generals in Lucifer's war against Heaven. For this offense, God commanded [[Michael]] to imprison Lucifer in a [[Lucifer's Cage|cage]] in [[Hell]]. In a final act before being imprisoned, Lucifer passed on his [[Mark of Cain|Mark]] to [[Cain]], and hand picked handpicked humans for Cain to turn and train into becoming the [[Knights of Hell]].

* '''[[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. It can be presumed that he was , who is at least very old and powerful, if not even the second oldest demon created after in the existence of the show's myth.<ref name="essential">[[The Essential Supernatural: On the Road with Sam and Dean Winchester]]</ref> Lilithis supposed 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 supposed to be the Queen of Crossroads <ref name="essential">[[The Essential Supernatural: On the Road with Sam and Dean Winchester]]</ref> thand 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 Luciferand 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]]''' – Some Hell's elite guard. The Knights were some of the first [[soul]]s handpicked by [[Lucifer]] to become demons.* '''[[Crossroads Demon]]s''' – The demon deal-makers, who have the authority to give any human their wants and desires, in exchange for their souls after a period of ten years. While ten years is the standard deal, crossroad demons have been known to negotiate the length of their contracts, such as allowing humans to forgo Hell after ten years in exchange for various goods and services.

[[Azazel]] was a significant leader among demons, directed as he was by [[Lucifer]] in the plans involving the [[Special Children]], and the plot to release him from his prison. Following Azazel's death, Ruby and Lilith continued the plan until their deaths and Lucifer's release. After Lucifer's re-imprisonment,<ref name="five22">[[5.22 Swan Song]]</ref> Crowley declares declared himself King of Hell. [[Abaddon]] later wars went to war with Crowley for rule of Hell for several months before being killed by Dean with [[the First Blade]].

The exact structure of Hell remains undefined, although [[Ruby]] reveals revealed "there's a real fire in the pit, agonies you can't even imagine."<ref name="three09" /> [[Meg]] describes described this place as "...a prison, made of bone and flesh and blood and fear."<ref name="two14">[[2.14 Born Under a Bad Sign]]</ref> [[Dean]] is was seen suspended from hooks embedded in him when his soul arrives arrived in Hell.<ref name="three16">[[3.16 No Rest for the Wicked]]</ref> [[Angels]] can bypass Hell's defenses, enter and retrieve human souls, as [[Castiel]] and other angels laid siege to Hell to save Dean. [[Death]] can enter Hell and bring souls back to Earth, as shown when he retrieves [[Sam]]'s soul from [[Lucifer's Cage]]. The King of Hell has limited access to [[Lucifer's Cage]], as [[Crowley]] was able to raise [[Sam]]'s body from have demons study the warding and spellwork that adorned the Cage after assuming command over Hell, but it is later revealed to be Castiel who raised Sam's body from Perdition. Soon after Crowley's ascension as King of Hell, he made some changes to Hell, transforming a section of it into a never-ending queue. There is also a portal in [[Purgatory]] that [[reapers]] use as a backdoor into Hell to retrieve souls. The part of Hell accessible through the portal, at least in 2013, takes the form of a dungeon.

* Biokinesis - Demons can cause injury to humans via thought (shown: [[Azazel]]).* Combustion - – Crowley and Asmodeus were shown to have the ability to render demons and humans to dust with a snap of their fingers.* Demonic energy – [[Lilith]] and [[Samhain]] had the power to cause great destruction with "fiery white light."* [[Exorcism]] - – Certain demons have the ability to exorcise and send lower-tier demons back to [[Hell]] with a single touch (shown: [[Abaddon]]).* [[Mind control]] - – Some demons can influence and control the actions of human beings. * Perception - – Like [[angel]]s, demons can pierce [[the Veil]] and perceive entities that are invisible to human beings, such as [[reapers]].* [[Pyrokinesis]] - The ability to control and manipulate fire (known: [[AzazelPossession]]– Unless specifically protected from possession, [[Brady]], [[Crowley]]).* Photokinesis - [[Lilith]] a demon can enter any human and [[Samhain]] had the power to cause great destruction with "fiery white lighttake over their bodies."* [[Possession]] - Higher-ranked demons have been shown to have the ability to overpower and possess [[reapers]].* [[Resurrection]] - – [[Crossroads demons]] have the ability to resurrect through [[crossroads]] [[Deals and Pacts|deals]].* [[Smiting]] - – The [[Knight of Hell]] [[Cain]] had the ability to kill other demons with a touch.<ref name="nine11" /> The [[Prince of Hell]] [[Asmodeus]] was able to smite multiple demons at once by simply clenching his fists,<ref name="thirteen02" /> but he had been powering up using [[grace]] from the [[archangel]] [[Gabriel]],<ref name="thirteen17">[[13.17 The Thing]]</ref><ref name="thirteen18" /> giving him powers that [[Lucifer]] had never granted him.<ref name="thirteen12">[[13.12 Various & Sundry Villains]]</ref>* Superhuman strength - – While hosting a demonic entity, a human's body can be made to perform extraordinary feats and resist damage. However, when the demon leaves, the host often dies of its injuries. Demons are also capable of overpowering [[Alpha]]s; a group of demons captured the [[Alpha Vampire]] on [[Crowley]]'s orders, though only after it had been injected with enough [[dead man's blood]] to bring down a nest of regular [[vampire]]s, and when they all attacked at once. A horde of demons was also able to inflict damage to [[the Darkness]] during a three-pronged attack that also involved [[witches]] and angels.* [[Telepathy]] - – Certain demons have shown the ability to read minds. * [[Telekinesis]] - – Some demons can influence an object's movement with their minds. ** Biokinesis – Demons can cause injury to humans via thought (known: Abaddon, [[Alastair]], Asmodeus, [[Azazel]], [[Cain]], [[Crowley]], [[Julia Wright!Demon]]).** [[Pyrokinesis]] – The ability to control and manipulate fire (known: Azazel, [[Brady]], Crowley).** Terrakinesis – Some demons can cause tremors, causing the earth to crack open (known: Abaddon, Cain, Crowley, [[Meg]], [[Pride]])* [[Teleportation]] - – As demons increase in strength they appear to gain the ability to teleport.* [[Weather Manipulation|Weather manipulation]] - – Demons can influence the weather; one of the tell-tale signs that a demon is in an area are sudden lightning strikes (as well as cattle mutilations).

* Anti-possession charms - – After [[Sam]] is possessed, [[Bobby]] gives the boys charms to protect against possession.<ref name="two14" />* Anti-possession symbol tattoos - – Sam, [[Dean]], and [[Mary]] reveal that they have the protection symbol tattooed on their chests, preventing any and all demons from possessing them.<ref name="three12">[[3.12 Jus in Bello]]</ref>* [[Exorcism]] - – When a demon is exorcised via ritual, it returns to [[Hell]].<ref name="one04" /> However, this is not a permanent solution and demons can return, though escaping Hell for an exorcised demon appears to be more difficult. The length of time it takes for them to return appears to be based on their personal power as one demon returned in a matter of months<ref name="two14" /> while another took five years.<ref name="twelve06" /> In another case, a demon that had been put into lockdown deep in Hell for spilling "state secrets" wasn't able to return from being exorcised until he was specifically summoned.<ref name="seven15">[[7.15 Repo Man]]</ref>* [[Hex bag]]s - – Hex bags can be used to help disguise and hide a person’s whereabouts from demons.<ref name="three12" />* [[Lilith's Crook]] – A special horn forged by [[Lilith]], that when used has the ability to call all demons and damned souls back to Hell.

* Consecrated ground – Lower- ranked demons are unable to walk on consecrated grounds. Some demons are able to enter consecrated ground such as churches, as shown by:

* [[Devil's trap (symbol)|Devil's trap]] - – A [[pentagram]] symbol that is marked on the floor or ceiling that can trap a demon within it. If carved into a bullet and shot into a demon, it will bind the demon to their [[meatsuit]] and make it impossible for them to move or escape. Additionally, if a demon is released inside a devil's trap in their smoke form, the smoke will be contained by the devil's trap which acts as an invisible barrier.<ref name="fourteen11" /> If a demon has been receiving the [[Demon Cure|cure]], it is possible for them in their more human-like state to break through the devil's trap, although it will be a painful process.* [[Enochian puzzle box]] - – Can trap demons in their smoke form, although the mechanism by which this is done is currently unknown.<ref name="fourteen11">[[14.11 Damaged Goods]]</ref>* [[Holy Oil|Holy fire]] - – While generally not capable of killing a demon, it will cause them great pain as shown when [[Meg]] was tossed into a ring of it by [[Castiel]] to act as a bridge out<ref name="five10" /> and when Sam doused [[Abaddon]] in it, causing her so much pain she fled her [[meatsuit]].<ref name="eight23" /> However, another demon was able to commit suicide by purposefully dousing himself in holy oil and setting himself on fire.<ref name="ten03" />* [[Holy water]] - – While most have some vulnerability to holy water, higher-level demons such as [[Lilith]] and [[Azazel]] appear appeared immune. The Yellow-Eyed Demon says "You think something like that works on something like me?" thus establishing that Azazel and every single [[yellow-eyed demon]] is immuneto holy water's effects.* [[Iron]] - – Demons cannot cross an iron line, and can be hurt with any object made of iron. However, a horde of 100's hundreds of demons released from the [[Devil's Gate in Wyoming]], were able to break through the iron railroad devil's trap that surrounded [[Fossil Butte Cemetery]].* [[Palo Santo]] - – Burns in a similar way to holy water, and can kill demons if staked in a fatal area.* [[Salt]] - – Most demons cannot cross a line of salt and they feel intense pain when they come in contact with it. [[Hunters]] use rock salt in shotgun shells to wound and temporarily hinder demons.

* [[Angels]] - – Angels have the power to kill demons with a touch.<ref name="four10" /><ref name="four20">[[4.20 The Rapture]]</ref> [[Archangels]] can burn demons as powerful as the [[Princes of Hell]] to ash with very little effort.<ref name="thirteen18" />* [[Angel blade]] - – An angel blade is capable of killing most demons.<ref name="eight10" /> It cannot kill a [[Prince of Hell]] though.<ref name="twelve12" />* [[Archangel blade]] - – An archangel blade is also capable of killing demons.<ref name="thirteen17" />* [[Angel sword]] - – As the sword version of an angel blade, it can presumably kill demons.* Burning earthly remains - – Demons, like spirits, can be killed by burning the bones of the bodies they had as humans, before they became demons.<ref name="six04">[[6.04 Weekend at Bobby's]]</ref><ref name="six10" /><ref name="thirteen08">[[13.08 The Scorpion and the Frog]]</ref> However, to do this, the person burning the bones must first know the demon's original human name which is something demons no longer go by.<ref name="six04" />* [[The Colt]] - – Until season three, the only method of permanent dispatch was to shoot them with the Colt and one of the original bullets. [[Bobby Singer]] rebuilds the Colt with [[Ruby]]'s help so that it can kill demons with new ammunition.<ref name="three04" />* [[Death's scythe]] - – It is mentioned multiple times that Death's scythe can also kill demons.* [[Demon-killing knife]] - – The ancient demon-killing knives of the Kurds, such as the one previously in the possession of the demon Ruby, can kill demons.<ref name="three01">[[3.01 The Magnificent Seven]]</ref><ref name="eight12">[[8.12 As Time Goes By]]</ref> However, [[Alastair]]<ref name="four10" /><ref name="four16" /> the [[Knights of Hell]]<ref name="eight12" /><ref name="nine11" /> and the [[Princes of Hell]]<ref name="twelve12" /> cannot be killed with the knife though it tends to cause them some harm.Ruby's knife is also a "Hand-to-Hand combat of the [[Colt]]"<ref name="companion 3">[[Supernatural: The Official Companion Season 3]]</ref>, which makes sense since like the Colt that must hit a fatal area such as the head or heart to kill a demon, the demon blade must hit a place that is lethal and connected with the whole body to affect, such as the throat<ref name="three01">[[3.01 The Magnificent Seven]]</ref>, the heart<ref name="five01">[[5.01 Sympathy for the Devil]]</ref>, or the gut.<ref name="four22">[[4.22 Lucifer Rising]]</ref>* [[The First Blade]] - – The First Blade, combined with the power of the [[Mark of Cain]], can kill any demon. The First Blade is also the only known weapon capable of killing a Knight of Hell.<ref name="nine11" />* [[Lance of Michael]] - – A very powerful [[angelic Weaponweapon]] created by the [[archangel]] [[Michael]] to kill [[Lucifer]] slowly. It can also kill any demon, including the [[Princes of Hell]], causing them to instantly combust to dust after being stabbed with it.<ref name="twelve12" />* Psychic powers - Late in season four, after – After months of training and the consumption of [[demon blood]], Sam's powers also allowed him to kill demons.<ref name="four16">[[4.16 On the Head of a Pin]]</ref><ref name="four22" />* [[Spells]] - – According to [[Ruby]], there is [[Spells#Demon Killing Spell|a spell]] that can kill every demon in a one-mile radius; as long as the [[meatsuit]]s haven't been killed already, they will survive the spell. The spell was never seen used, but it is known to require the heart of a virgin to work.<ref name="three12">[[3.12 Jus in Bello]]</ref> Demons can also be killed by a spell described in [[the Word of God[[tablet]] tablet regarding demons that completely destroys both the demon and the meatsuit. [[Kevin Tran]] and [[Linda Tran|his mother]] refer to this spell as a [[demon bomb]] and it requires ingredients from all over the world. According to Kevin, just the first three ingredients are nearly impossible to get.<ref name="eight01">[[8.01 We Need to Talk About Kevin]]</ref><ref name="eight07">[[8.07 A Little Slice of Kevin]]</ref><ref name="eight10">[[8.10 Torn and Frayed]]</ref> [[Crowley]]'s mother, the [[witch]] [[Rowena]], invented [[Spells#Defigere_Et_Depurgare|yet another spell]] that kills demons and apparently their meatsuits as well. This spell requires a [[hex bag]] to be held by the demon as the witch recites the incantation.<ref name="ten07">[[10.07 Girls, Girls, Girls]]</ref>

Though Asmodeus is able to capture and imprison both Castiel and Lucifer, wanting to keep power for himself,<ref name="thirteen07" />, the two angels are able to escape by briefly working together, killing several of Asmodeus' demons as they leave. However, their brief alliance falls apart afterwards.<ref name="thirteen12" /> During this time, Asmodeus is able to get his hands on the [[archangel blade]], the one weapon that can kill an archangel such as Lucifer or Michael in the hands of another archangel. Asmodeus is aided by the fact that he holds the archangel [[Gabriel]] captive<ref name="thirteen13">[[13.13 Devil's Bargain]]</ref> and feeds off of Gabriel's [[grace]] for more power. After Gabriel's rescue by [[Ketch]],<ref name="thirteen17" /> Asmodeus leads a demon incursion into [[the Bunker]] to retrieve his prisoner. However, Gabriel fights back and the archangel kills Asmodeus, leaving Hell leaderless once more.<ref name="thirteen18" /> Following Lucifer's death at the hands of Dean Winchester,<ref name="thirteen23">[[13.23 Let the Good Times Roll]]</ref> Hell is left without a leader or a clear successor to the throne. As a result, the demon [[Kipling]] makes a play for the leadership of Hell by capturing Castiel and trying to make a deal with Sam to have a Crowley-like situation. However, Sam refuses to deal and kills Kipling in the fight that follows. Sam then proclaims to Kipling's henchmen that there will be no more Kings of Hell and any demon that wishes to challenge that will have to go through him. Frightened by Sam, the demons show their acquiescence by fleeing in smoke form.<ref name="fourteen01" /> Michael subsequently considers both the demons and angels to be a non-factor in his effort to destroy the world.<ref name="fourteen02">[[14.02 Gods and Monsters]]</ref> Later, while trying to avenge his family, Lucifer's former [[vessel]] [[Nick]] learns that they were killed by the demon [[Abraxas]].<ref name="fourteen07" /> After tracking down Abraxas, Nick learns that the demon had murdered his family on Lucifer's orders. Nick then kills Abraxas with an [[angel blade]].<ref name="fourteen11" /> After Nick's escape from police custody,<ref name="fourteen12">[[14.12 Prophet and Loss]]</ref> he teams up with two demons to [[resurrection|resurrect]] Lucifer. The demons supply him with [[angel]] [[grace]] for Nick's plan and guard [[Donatello Redfield]] while Nick is away getting [[Jack Kline]]'s blood. When Dean arrives to rescue Donatello, the two demons attack him. Dean is able to knock one unconscious and kills the other with an angel blade before rushing to Sam's rescue with Donatello.<ref name="fourteen17">[[14.17 Game Night]]</ref> Later, another demon denies Castiel entry into Hell when he wants to study Lucifer's Cage in hopes of containing Jack.<ref name="fourteen20">[[14.20 Moriah]]</ref>

Following Lucifer's death at the hands of Dean Winchester,<ref name="thirteen23">When [[God]] opens [[13.23 Let Portal|the Good Times RollRupture]]</ref> , all of the souls and demons of Hell is left without a leader or a clear successor to are released upon the throneworld. As a result, the One such demon is [[KiplingBelphegor]] makes a play for , who presents himself as an ally to the leadership of Winchesters, claiming that he likes Hell by capturing Castiel and trying wants to make a deal with Sam return it to have a Crowley-like situationthe way it is.

Belphegor suggests a non-factor in his effort plan to destroy the world.<ref name="fourteen02">use [[14.02 Gods and MonstersLilith's Crook]]</ref> Laterto draw all of the souls and demons back into Hell and then seal the Rupture behind them.

Belphegor kills Ardat and tries to use the Crook to gain massive power by absorbing all of the demon souls. Castiel foils Belphegor's plan and [[Abraxassmiting|smites]]the demon, but destroys the Crook in the process, stopping the return of the souls and demons to Hell. Instead, Rowena casts a spell that draws everything into her body and then sacrifices herself to cast all of the escaped souls and demons back into Hell before the Rupture closes completely.<ref name="fourteen07fifteen01" /> After tracking down Abraxas, Nick learns that the demon had murdered his family on Lucifer's orders. Nick then kills Abraxas with an [[angel blade15.01 Back and to the Future]].</ref name="fourteen11" /> After Nick's escape from police custody,<ref name="fourteen12fifteen02">[[1415.12 Prophet and Loss02 Raising Hell]]</ref> he teams up with two demons to [[resurrection|resurrect]] Lucifer.

Dean is able to knock one unconscious and kills the other with an angel blade before rushing to Sam's rescue with Donatello.<ref name="fourteen17fifteen03">[[1415.17 Game Night03 The Rupture]]</ref>

[[Alastair]] is a at least very old and powerful, 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" />

White-eyed demons are the highest-ranking class of demons, second only to [[Lucifer]] himself in the hierarchy of [[Hell]] and serving as his "chiefs of staff."<ref name="essential" /> Only two confirmed white-eyed demons, [[Lilith]] and [[Alastair]], have appeared. Another demon, [[Samhain]], may be classified as a third white-eyed demon, but unlike Lilith and Alastair, his eyes have pale gray irises and black pupils. Lilith is known to be the first demon created by Lucifer<ref name="four22">[[4.22 Lucifer Rising]]</ref> and Alastair is hinted to have been the second,but at least very old and powerful.<ref name="essential" /> though it's later revealed that the [[Princes of Hell]] are the demons created most immediately after Lilith.<ref name="twelve12" /> They are powerful enough to be on par with [[angels]], with Lilith demonstrating the angels' ability to generate a powerful white light that destroys anything she wills it to with the effects being compared to an explosion,<ref name="four02">[[4.02 Are You There, God? It's Me, Dean Winchester]]</ref><ref name="three12" /> as well as high resistance to [[Sam Winchester]]'s demonic powers,<ref name="four18">[[4.18 The Monster at the End of This Book]]</ref><ref name="four22" /> and Alastair demonstrating high resistance to [[Ruby's Knife]]<ref name="four09" /> as well as complete immunity to the smiting power of angels and the power to overpower and defeat angels in direct combat.<ref name="four10" /><ref name="four16" />
