==History==
Nick Vaught * lived in Pike Creek, Delaware, and was married to a woman named [[Sarah]]. Together, they had a son named Teddy. One night, Sarah and the baby were murdered by the demon [[Abraxas]] as they slept while Nick was out, drinking at the Elk's Lodge.<ref name="fourteen07">[[14.07 Unhuman Nature]]</ref> After their deaths the grief-stricken Nick still resided in the house, and kept some objects that were connected to Sarah and his son.<ref name="five01">[[5.01 Sympathy for the Devil]]</ref>
[[Lucifer]] chooses to use Nick as a so-called "Plan B" [[vessel]] when [[Sam]] refused to consent to him.<ref name="five01" /><ref name="five03">[[5.03 Free to Be You and Me]]</ref> However, because he isn't the "true" vessel, over time Nick’s body slowly becomes more and more degraded. The longer he continued to be occupied by Lucifer the more his body burned out, due to his [[meatsuit]]'s inability to contain Lucifer's essence. [[Castiel]] tells Sam that Nick would be drinking gallons of [[demon blood]] in order to continue to host Lucifer.<ref name="five21">[[5.21 Two Minutes to Midnight]]</ref> Nick is dispossessed when Lucifer gains consent from Sam, his body left behind in a apartment in Detroit.<ref name="five22">[[5.22 Swan Song]]</ref>
After learning that nothing has been done in the decade since his wife and son's murders, Nick becomes determined to find the truth about happened to his family, going as far as becoming a budding [[serial killer]]. He targets people with special knowledge of the murders such as [[Arty Nielson]], a local priest, and [[Frank Kellogg]], but he also gets the urge to kill innocent people, developing quite a taste for the act. He discovers that the demon [[Abraxas]], whom Lucifer knew personally, possessed Kellogg that night and used his [[meatsuit]] to kill Nick's family with a hammer.<ref name="fourteen02" /><ref name="fourteen07" />
* In [[14.11 Damaged Goods]] , Nick's wristband bears the surname "Vaught", a shoutout to Supernatural writer [[Nick Vaught]]. It has not been confirmed that this is Nick's real surname.
