This Cage was designed as a prison immediately after Lucifer's rebellion. After being banished from [[Heaven]] for defying [[God]], [[Lucifer]] decided to anger God by twisting a Human [[soul]] into the [[Lilith|first demon]]. After this, God sent [[Michael]] to imprison [[Lucifer]]. This chasm, in the cage which was locked was locked with 600 Seals but only [[The 66 Seals|66 seals]] of the 600 had to be broken in order for Lucifer to be released. The interior of the Cage, according to [[Castiel]], is heavily guarded, even more so then when [[Dean]] was in [[Hell]], suggesting an existence of other entities in the Cage or could simply mean that the Cage may be labyrinth-based.<ref name="six07">[[6.07 Family Matters]]</ref> During his time in the Cage, [[Sam]] is seen surrounded by eternal flames<ref name="six13">[[6.13 Unforgiven]]</ref> (conforming to [[Death]]'s description of it as a "fiery pit").<ref name="five21">[[5.21 Two Minutes to Midnight]]</ref> This Cage seems to have multiple entrances. Unlike most [[angel]]s, [[fairies]] including [[the Leprechaun]], may be able to enter the Cage undetected, as they have a way of getting through "back doors" of prisons.<ref name="six09">[[6.09 Clap Your Hands If You Believe...]]</ref> It was revealed that Castiel was the one to raise Sam's body from the the Cage. Despite the complexity, [[Death]] travels through the Cage unaided, and successfully retrieves Sam's soul, returns to Earth, and places it inside Sam.<ref name="six11">[[6.11 Appointment in Samarra]]</ref>
In 1972, [[Azazel]] possessed a [[The Priest|priest]] at [[St. Mary's Convent]], and killed eight nuns in the chapel. This enabled him to speak to the imprisoned [[Lucifer]]. [[Lucifer]] tells [[Azazel]] that [[Lilith]] is needed to break [[the 66 Seals]] that hold him captive in the Cage and that he needs to find a very special child.<ref name="four22">[[4.22 Lucifer Rising]]</ref>
In 2009, [[Sam]] unknowingly releases Lucifer from his cage by killing [[Lilith]] at [[St. Mary's Convent]]. Lilith is revealed to have been the last of [[the 66 Seals]].
As Sam and Dean attempt to find a way to stop Lucifer and the impending [[Apocalypse]], [[Gabriel]] tells them that the [[Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse]] all own an individual rings that together form a key-like device that can reopen his a portal to the Cage anywhere.
After collecting all the rings, Sam comes up with a plan in which he will allow [[Lucifer]] to possess him, and then force him into the Cage. The initial attempt fails, but when [[Lucifer]] confronts [[Michael]] at [[Stull Cemetery]], Sam activates the rings and as the Cage opens, he manages to gain enough control to force himself (and Lucifer) into the Cage. [[Michael]] (in possession of [[Adam]]) tries to stop him but is himself captured.
[[Raphael]] tried to reopen the Cage to release Lucifer and Michael, but was ultimately unsuccessful.
Sam is subsequently released from the Cage by [[Castiel]], but his soul and Adam remained trapped in the Cage being tortured by Lucifer and Michael. [[Death]] agrees to retrieve Sam's soul, and returns it to his body, setting up a temporary "wall" in Sam's mind to prevent the knowledge of what the horrors that happened in the Cage from destroying him. Following the release of [[The Darkness]], sounds a heard coming from the Cage, and the demons speculate that Micahel or Lucifer are trying to warn them about it. ==Characteristics==Micahel locked Lucifer in the Cage with 600 Seals but only [[The 66 Seals|66 seals]] of the 600 had to be broken in order for Lucifer to be released.The Cage, according to [[Castiel]], is heavily guarded, even more so then when [[Dean]] was in [[Hell]].<ref name="six07">[[6.07 Family Matters]]</ref> Each of the [[Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse]] own individual rings that together form a key-like device that can reopen a portal to the Cage.
