Your father made you and then abandoned you, so you pray. You see signs where there's nothing. But truth is, your Apocalypse came and went, and you didn't even notice. A mother would never abandon her children like he did. You'll see. – Eve, 6.16 ...And Then There Were None

History

Eve is at older than Castiel and was last on Earth 10,000 years ago. She is referred to as the Mother of All, referring to all supernatural beings. She has been in Purgatory, where the souls of the supernatural go after death.

Eve is the mother of a bloodline, the birthing entity at the moment of genesis for all the lines of monsterdom. So the Eve of monsters. And even being a pun - like the "eve of monsters" because there's a monster world she's moving towards. – Ben Edlund, Source

Sam: But if you're the first, who made you? Alpha Vampire: Well, we all have our mothers. Even me. – Sam and the Alpha Vampire, 6.07 Family Matters

6.12 Like A Virgin

The sacrifice to raise Eve from Purgatory

Dragons are abducting young women (virgins) and keeping them captive in a sewer. Dean obtains the Sword Of Bruncvik and he and Sam track down the dragon's lair, finding a pile of gold, and the women. They also find an ancient manuscript which speaks of freeing Mother from Purgatory. Sam and Dean kill one of the Dragon but one escapes. He meets up with another dragon who has also captured a half dozen women. They take one of the women and use an incantation to open a door to Purgatory. They throw the woman in, and she rises again, her body now inhabited by Eve.

6.16 ...And Then There Were None

Eve captured on camera

Eve creates a being—called colloquially the Khan Worm—that can enter a person's body through the ear and control their actions. She plants it inside a trucker, who goes on to murder his entire family with a hammer. It then passes to one of his co-workers, who kills six people. While investigating the murders, it infects Dean, who kills his cousin Gwen, and then infects Samuel, forcing Sam to kill him. Finally, it infects Bobby, who kills Rufus. While the worm is possessing Bobby, it tells Dean and Sam that it is a new monster recently created by Eve, and that Eve intends for supernatural beings to take over the world. She also has a message for them that the worm relates: "She's pissed, she's here, and it's going to be nothing but pain for you from here on in."

6.19 Mommy Dearest

Eve appears at a bar in Grants Pass, Oregon, where she proceeds to turn everyone into vampire/wraith hybrids, provoking a mass feeding frenzy while she picks up a drink and watches. She then uses the town as a test-bed for a new monster virus; one that will cause widespread infection on a massive scale. Several of her early experiments result in failure, however, the remnants of which attract the attention of the Winchesters who had been informed of Eve's location from the vampire Lenore. Protected by her vamp/wraith bodyguards (which Dean later dubs "Jefferson Starships") Eve has them capture two recently orphaned boys - Joe and Ryan Silver - to whom she gives the perfected virus in its dormant state.

Sam and Dean rescue the children and, despite Castiel's objections, drive them to their uncle's where they'll be safe. In their absence Castiel interrogates one of Eve's children, learning her exact whereabouts. With Bobby and Castiel waiting outside, the brothers enter the diner in which Eve is hiding and discover that they are surrounded by hybrids and Eve herself confronts them in the guise of a waitress. Eve takes their weapons and detects Phoenix ash in the shotguns, so she hands them over to one her children and orders their immediate disposal. She then explains to the boys the reason she's on Earth and what she hopes to achieve. To emphasise her point, she transforms into Mary Winchester and tells them that every action she's taken has been because of "a mother's love".

Eve goes on to explain that she had been satisfied with the balance between mankind and monsters for the past 10,000 years, but since her children started being captured and tortured by Crowley, she had decided to rise up from Purgatory and retaliate. Dean is quick to point out that her arrival was pointless, as Crowley had already been dealt with months ago. Eve is unconvinced, however, and informs them that Crowley is indeed alive and in hiding, but is still carrying out his search for Purgatory. She explains that Crowley is not after Purgatory itself, but rather the souls that dwell within it. Monster souls, like humans, are very powerful and are essential for fueling a war machine capable of untold power. For what purpose Crowley wants this power, she does not reveal. But to cripple his plans, Eve intends to turn the whole world into monsters so that she can "see how hot his hell burns when all your souls come to me".

Eve then informs them of the "perfect monster" she has created in Ryan Silver and of the mass-infection that they inadvertantly helped spread. Her bodyguards bring Castiel and Bobby into the diner, and informs Castiel that he can't use his powers because there being halted by Eve due to her age. She offers Sam and Dean the chance to work for her in capturing Crowley. Dean refuses to work with a monster, however, and tells Eve to "bite me". She obliges, but staggers back upon tasting phoenix ash in his blood, to which Dean reveals that he ingested some ash with a shot of whiskey. Eve chokes and burns from the inside before falling to the floor, dead. Her children attack all at once, but with Eve no longer suppressing Castiel's powers he releases a devastating blast of white light that kills all the monsters in the diner.

Castiel then teleports them all to Joe and Ryan's uncle's house to stop the children, who have already murdered their uncle, only to discover both kids dead and traces of sulfur; the work of a demon. Castiel later returns to the diner and observes Eve's body and the corpses of her children before being met by Crowley, who expresses his dissatisfaction with having to clean up after the angel's messes. Whether or not Eve's essence returned to Purgatory is unknown.

Eve in Lore

The Abrahamic religions involve a primary female figure in their lore. In the Old Testament (primarily the Book of Genesis), Eve is said to be the first woman created, and her disobedience of God's instruction (eating of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil) leads to the expulsion of herself and Adam from the Garden of Eden.

• Wikipedia entry on Eve

Roman Catholicism venerates Mary, the mother of Jesus, and refers to her as Mother of the Church and Queen of Heaven.

The concept of a Mother Goddess is found in cultures around the world in many forms. It is often theorised that matriarchal religions, those that worshiped a female deity, proceeded the patriarchal religions such as the Abrahamic ones (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) that worshiped a male one (God). Other religious traditions focus on the balance of the masculine and feminine within a deity or deities.

Some interpretations of European dragon myths read them as symbolising the battle of patriarchal religions to defeat the old Mother Goddess religions (represented by the dragon), with women reduced to powerless women that need to be rescued. Source.

Echidna - daughter of Gaia also known as mother nature - is a Greek goddess who is also known as the "Mother of All Monsters" because she was the source of all the monstrous creatures in Greek mythology Source.

Another predominant mother goddess of ancient peoples was Asherah. In early Judaic religions, she was worshiped alongside the God of Israel as his consort, though her history extends much further back. She is also known by the name "Rabat Chawat Elat" or "Great Lady Eve the Goddess", among many others. Her symbol was the serpent. This was said to represent wisdom, healing, and immortality. Another of her symbols was the Tree of Life. She is believed to have inspired the character of Eve in the Genesis myth.
