{{Quotation
==History==
Naomi is an [[angel]], and a very powerful one, who is the leader of one of the many factions fighting for control of [[Heaven]]. She exists in an area of Heaven that [[Castiel]] has never seen before. She was responsible for rescuing Castiel from [[Purgatory]] – although it cost several [[angel]]s their lives to recover him – and has continued to monitor him. It is implied that she had a past fling with [[Crowley]] in Mesopotamia. According to [[Ion]], Naomi and himself are from is the head angel of the intelligence division in Heaven.
==Episodes==
After [[Samandriel]] manages to reactivate his "[[angel]] radio," he sends a distress call to Naomi before [[Viggo]] interrupts him. Naomi summons [[Castiel]] to rescue him before he is broken, telling him the signal cut off before she could pinpoint his exact location. When [[Castiel]] tells her he will need help as [[Crowley]] will have warded Samandriel's location against angels, Naomi tells him to take whatever he needs and to tell the Winchesters it was him who detected the distress call and decided to rescue him.
[[File:Naomi-Cas.jpg|thumb|right|350px|Naomi roots around in [[Castiel]]'s mind.]]
After the Winchesters break the [[Enochian sigils]] keeping him out, Castiel is left weakened and, as an apparent side-effect, sees a memory of Naomi having him strapped down to a chair and approaching his eye with some kind of instrument[[Mind Hacking|drill]].
After Samandriel is rescued, he begs Castiel not to take him back to Heaven as he is afraid of Naomi after what he has revealed. Apparently Naomi is well known in [[Heaven]], as Samandriel is shocked that Castiel has no idea who she is. After learning that Samandriel revealed the existence of an [[angel tablet]], Naomi orders Castiel to kill him which he does against his will. Naomi orders Castiel to claim that Samandriel was compromised and he was forced to kill him in self defense and that he is taking him back to Heaven to be laid to rest. However, this arouses the Winchesters' suspicions that Castiel is being controlled, especially as he starts bleeding from one eye and Castiel is horrified that he murdered another angel. Naomi calls Samandriel a traitor and says he needed to be executed for what he did. Naomi intends to examine Samandriel to learn just how much he broke and reveals that the angel tablet, something that any angel would die to protect the existence of, including herself, has the potential to cause great harm to angels, suggesting that like the demon tablet reveals how to lock up demons forever, the angel tablet could do the same with angels.
Naomi and two [[angel]]s travel to Houston and capture [[Metatron]] and face off with [[Castiel]]. Naomi orders an angel to kill Castiel, but after the bartender shoots the angel and Metatron tells Castiel to stand down, she just leaves with her henchmen and Metatron.
[[File:Naomi Dead.jpg|thumb|right|350px|Naomi with her spike drill driven into her head.]]In her office in [[Heaven]], Naomi straps Metatron to a chair. Despite having never met in person, Metatron recognizes her as the angel that was supposed to "debrief" him after [[God]] left [[Heaven]]. Naomi tells him that the [[archangel]]s wanted to know the secrets in his mind and she now wants to know why he came out of hiding and what his plans are. Naomi tortures drills into Metatron 's mind and is shocked by what she finds, asking him why he is going with the plan that he ishas. Metatron tells her that he was elevated to God's Scribe and it was incredible, but he was forced from his home and now wants payback. Horrified, Naomi leaves, leaving Metatron alone.
Naomi appears on Earth near where [[Castiel]] and [[Dean]] are after having just completed the second [[trial]] to close the Gates of Heaven. Castiel angrily confronts her with his [[angel blade]], but Naomi insists that she is just there to talk, not fight and [[Dean]] gets Castiel to hear her out. Naomi reveals what she has learned from [[Metatron]]: as revenge for his expulsion from [[Heaven]], he is using Castiel to expel all [[angel]]s permanently, not close the gates of Heaven. Castiel doesn't believe her, but Naomi insists that its true. She expresses regret for all of her actions, crying and tells Castiel and Dean that angels were meant to protect humanity and somewhere along the line they lost sight of that. Naomi, reminding Dean that she told him he could trust her, tells him that while she wants him to close the [[Gates of Hell]], she has learned that doing so will kill [[Sam]], that [[God]] intended for the person closing the gates to have to make the ultimate sacrifice. Naomi tells Castiel that if he wishes to return to Heaven she is now willing to hear him out and disappears. Castiel doesn't believe her claims and [[Kevin Tran]] is unable to back them up with the [[angel tablet]], but Dean does and has Castiel take him to Sam.
Castiel travels to Naomi's office in Heaven only to find that Metatron has impaled her in the head with her own torture spikedrill. Metatron confirms that Naomi told him the truth about his intentions.
===[[9.03 I'm No Angel]]===
After [[Ezekiel]] tells him that a faction of angels is gathering power and vessels, Dean asks him if Naomi is their leader, but Ezekiel tells him that he hasn't heard her name mentioned. Later, the rogue [[Reaper|reaper]] [[Maurice]] tells Sam and Dean that Naomi is dead and that the new leader is her protégé, [[Bartholomew]].
[[File:Naomi Funeralia.png|thumb|left|350px|Naomi returns to [[Heaven]] to await [[Gabriel]]'s return.]]
===[[13.19 Funeralia]]===
Naomi reveals herself to be alive and one of the few remaining angels in [[Heaven]]. She tells a questioning [[Castiel]] that her drill was incapable of killing her, but the brain damage it caused gave her amnesia. She had a few trustworthy angels spread the news that she was dead while she has been recovering for the past five years and reassembling her memories. Despite still having a few holes in her memory, she claims that she has to be in Heaven.
Castiel is quick to mistrust her, but she reveals that there are only nine angels in Heaven (including both of them) as well as one or two on Earth. She tells him that Heaven is starting to power down and is at risk of crumbling with so few angels to power it. Since they're the only things keeping Heaven active, none of the angels can leave, hence their inability to help Castiel find [[CategoryGabriel]] or assist with fighting the forces of [[Apocalypse World]]. When the angels eventually burn out from the strain, she says, Heaven will cease to exist, releasing billions upon billions of [[soul]]s onto the world and unleashing mass chaos and death. Naomi tells Castiel that his news that Gabriel is alive was "blessed," stating that with the power of an [[archangel]], Heaven would be able to continue to operate. Accompanying Castiel to Earth, Naomi tells him that if he cannot find Gabriel and convince him to come to Heaven, the remaining angels will keep things running for as long as they can, but she is not sure if this is something that can be fixed. When he insists that they will find a solution, she expresses her doubts and states that "everything ends." Before going back to Heaven, Naomi also tells Castiel that the gate will be closed until Gabriel can be found. Naomi ascends to Heaven and erases the spellwork on the sandbox to close the gate. ===[[14.08 Byzantium]]===When the [[Cosmic Entity]] lays siege to [[Heaven]] in search of [[Jack Kline]], Naomi finds [[Castiel]] and [[Dumah]] in Jack's personal Heaven and attempts to persuade Castiel into giving Jack up for the sake of the billions of [[souls]] in Heaven. As the Entity begins to take over her body, she urges Castiel and Dumah to run. After Castiel sacrifices himself to [[the Empty]], Naomi greets him as he is exiting [[Kelly Kline]]'s personal Heaven, and thanks him for his sacrifice. As a thank-you to Castiel, Naomi gives him the location of [[Michael (Apocalypse World)|Michael]] on Earth. ===[[14.09 The Spear]]===When Jack asks him if his mother will be okay, Castiel explains that even though Naomi is "complicated," there's nothing she won't do to protect the souls in her charge. After getting Michael's location from Naomi, the team prepares to head out to Hitomi Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri. ===[[14.18 Absence]]===After [[Mary Winchester]]'s death, [[Castiel]] visits the portal and attempts to contact Naomi via [[angel radio]]. [[Dumah]] finally appears from the portal and simply tells him that Naomi is indisposed, but refuses to elaborate. ===[[14.19 Jack in the Box]]===After returning to Heaven for Naomi's help in locating Jack, Castiel learns from [[Dumah]] that she overthrew Naomi's rule of Heaven following the [[Cosmic Entity]]'s invasion of Heaven. Dumah defends her actions by pointing out that Heaven was invaded and the angels all nearly died under Naomi's watch. According to Dumah, Naomi is now locked in a very small cell, something that Dumah expected Castiel to be pleased with given his history with Naomi. However, Dumah's reign over Heaven is ended when Castiel kills Dumah for her actions, particularly threatening the souls of [[John]] and [[Mary Winchester]]. ==External links=='''Meta'''<div style="-moz-column-count:2; -webkit-column-count:2; column-count:2;"> * [https://jkateel.tumblr.com/post/41143409149/why-naomi-might-be-the-smartest-villain-weve-had Why Naomi Might Be The Smartest Villain We’ve Had In SPN] by jkateel (January 2013); [https://web.archive.org/web/20181229180736/http://jkateel.tumblr.com/post/41143409149/why-naomi-might-be-the-smartest-villain-weve-had archive link]* [https://justanotheridijiton.tumblr.com/post/129059465429/saltfree-archive-ladyofthesilent Naomi definitely qualifies as 'well intentioned' (Untitled)] by cassandrapentagahst, ladyofthesilent saltfree (n.d.); [https://web.archive.org/web/20181219160808/https://justanotheridijiton.tumblr.com/post/129059465429/saltfree-archive-ladyofthesilent archive link]* It's time to talk about Naomi by 22drunkb (March 2013)** [https://22drunkb.tumblr.com/post/46117818164/its-time-to-talk-about-naomi Part 1]; [http://web.archive.org/web/20130627163950/http://22drunkb.tumblr.com/post/46117818164/its-time-to-talk-about-naomi archive link]** [https://22drunkb.tumblr.com/post/46142160576/its-time-to-talk-about-naomi-part-ii Part 2]; [http://web.archive.org/web/20150307092553/http://22drunkb.tumblr.com/post/46142160576/its-time-to-talk-about-naomi-part-ii archive link]* [https://emergencyprotocol.tumblr.com/post/47106789510/i-dont-want-rly-want-to-discuss-how-horrible-the naomi is better than all your faves (untitled)] by emergencyprotocol (April 2013); [http://archive.today/eVfJl archive link]* [https://orangemeta.tumblr.com/post/81157584778/heaven-naomi-and-accusations-of-retconning Heaven, Naomi, and accusations of "retconning"] by ladyofthesilent (July 2013); [https://web.archive.org/web/20181209193806/http:Canon//orangemeta.tumblr.com/post/81157584778/heaven-naomi-and-accusations-of-retconning archive link]*[https://hearseeno.tumblr.com/post/98931566416/supernatural-visual-themes-programming Supernatural Visual Themes: Programming]by hearseeno (October 2014); [https://web.archive.org/web/20181225201009/https://hearseeno.tumblr.com/post/98931566416/supernatural-visual-themes-programming archive link]**Minutiae: Naomi's office windows also referenced punch cards like "you are just a number." #WaywardCocktails [http://archive.today/2019.07.07-220543/https://twitter.com/ripuptheending/status/1054572738277527553?s=21 tweet]</div> [[Category:CharactersCanon]][[Category:AngelsCharacters]][[Category:Angel LoreAngels]]
