Changes

Death, also known as the Pale Horseman, is affiliated with Famine, War and Pestilence, although he is far more powerful than them. Death wears a ring with a white stone; unlike his brothers, Death's powers do not come from his ring. Death can kill by creating massive storms, tsunamis and hurricanes, or , by using a simple gesture, stop someone's heart. Death can also resurrect dead people. According to Bobby, Death has been kept restrained prior to the Apocalypse, and the last time Death was free, "Noah was building a boat." Death is released from his cage in [[5.10 Abandon All Hope...]] by Lucifer's spell. Death acts under Lucifer's direction for most of season five, but resents the [[archangel]]'s control over him. He willingly gives his ring to [[Dean]] to stop the Apocalypse. After [[Lucifer]]'s defeat, Death remains free, possibly directing the [[reaper]]sand maintaining the natural order. It is he that eventually returns [[Sam]]'s [[soul]] and helps return the souls to [[Purgatory]]. After he demands Sam's death in exchange for his help with the [[Mark of Cain]], Dean kills Death with his own scythe to save his brother, destroying his ring and his scythe in the process.
