History

Donnie Finnerman was a local mechanic in the state of Maine.^{5.03 Free To Be You And Me} He became Raphael's vessel during a riot involving demons near a gas station. After resolving the situation, Raphael abandoned his vessel, returning to Heaven, leaving Donnie in a catatonic state. Donnie was taken to St Pete's Hospital. Castiel and Dean later go to the hospital and attempt to summon Raphael to Earth via an Enochian ritual. They place Donnie in the center of a ring of Holy Oil, trying to trap the archangel when he enters his vessel. They are unsuccessful at the hospital, but Raphael later reclaims his vessel and confronts them at their hideout. They capture him.

After being interrogated, Raphael remains trapped within a Holy Fire circle. Sometime after the re-imprisonment of Lucifer and imprisonment of Michael in the Cage, Raphael manages to escape the circle without losing his vessel. He attempts to kill Castiel, but Balthazar intervenes, destroying Raphael’s vessel, Donnie, with Lot's Salt, leaving the archangel without a host.^{6.03 The Third Man}
