She is the first demon to ever be created, her [[soul]] having been twisted by [[Lucifer]] as an act of spite against [[God]] after he was expelled from [[Heaven]].<ref name="four21">[[4.21 When the Levee Breaks]]</ref> As such, she preceded both the [[Princes of Hell]] and the [[Knights of Hell]].<ref name="twelve13">[[12.13 Family Feud]]</ref> Due to her status as the first demon, she is the last of [[the 66 Seals]], with her death breaking the last seal and releasing Lucifer from the [[Lucifer's Cage|Cage]] he was imprisoned in for her creation.<ref name="four22">[[4.22 Lucifer Rising]]</ref>

When Sam and [[Dean]] attack Lilith in attempt to kill her and break Dean's contract in order to save his [[soul]] from his deal (with Bela having informed them that Lilith holds his contract<ref name="three15">[[3.15 Time Is On My Side]]</ref>), she captures them instead and kills Dean in front of Sam by setting a [[hellhound]] on him, sending Dean's soul to Hell.<ref name="three16">[[3.16 No Rest for the Wicked]]</ref> At this point, she begins breaking the seals, starting with her having [[Alastair]] push Dean into breaking the first seal.<ref name="four16">[[4.16 On the Head of a Pin]]</ref> Meanwhile, [[Ruby]] manipulates Sam and strengthens his demonic powers on Lilith's orders, preparing him to kill Lilith and break the final seal.
