Reapers

Dean: We're dealing with a reaper. Sam: You really think it's the Grim Reaper? Like, angel of death, collect your soul, the whole deal? Dean: No no no, not the reaper, a reaper. There's reaper lore in pretty much every culture on Earth, it goes by 100 different names, it's possible that there's more than one of them. – Dean and Sam Winchester, 1.12 Faith

History

Reapers are divine supernatural beings that are responsible for escorting deceased souls to the afterlife, and they refuse, or are unable, to tell the deceased what awaits them upon death. Reapers do however allow the deceased to choose to accompany them, or to remain in the Veil as ghosts, which eventually leads to the deceased becoming a vengeful spirit and the complete deterioration of their mental faculties. While reapers serve Death and are not aligned with Heaven or Hell, they too were locked out of Heaven with the angels when Metatron enacted his spell closing the gates. Their origins are unclear, and it is also unknown what relationship, if any, they have to other beings such as God or Fate.

Reapers will gather in groups "at times of great catastrophe" or distress, such as disasters like the Chicago Fire of 1871, the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906, and the destruction of Pompeii.

At some point after the averted Apocalypse, a small subset of reapers became rogue operators, collecting souls or moving them between Heaven and Hell for a price. Some reapers also appeared to work as bounty hunters, tracking down souls and individuals as well, to which Dean referred to them as "Delta Force Reapers."

For the next few years, rogue reapers continued to operate until Billie became the new incarnation of Death and, according to the reaper Jessica, had all the reapers avoiding any direct interference, only assisting directly or indirectly on Billie's command.

Characteristics

Section on reapers from John's Journal.

In their true forms, a reaper appears as an incorporeal phantom, with a corpse-like visage and a white aura surrounding them. They tend to take on the more human appearances as a means to make it easier to convince a soul to pass on to the next plane of existence. Reapers would typically be seen dressed in simple black suits and ties, evoking the image of a funeral director. Though, in later years, most reapers would take to appearing in more casual clothing.

Reapers personalities can very, and have been known to show a range of emotions from joy and annoyance to anger. For the most part, reapers attempt to empathize / sympathize with those they are about to reap in order to get them to accept death and move on to the afterlife.

Though the dead or dying are typically the only ones capable of perceiving reapers, reapers can take on a corporal form to interact among the living. However, most reapers prefer to remain within the Veil and not interfere in the matters of the living. Reapers are also capable of possessing vessels, this act appeared to only be done by rogue reapers due to having, as their name suggests, gone rogue from their standard duties as reapers, and had decided to freelance their services for a price. It was unknown what payment rogue reapers demanded for their business, it is only known that the reaper Ajay agreed to offer his services to the Winchesters in exchange for the brothers owing him a favor at a later date. Rogue reapers also appeared to have additional capabilities. According to the reaper Ajay, he had "special skills" when negotiating his fee with the Winchesters, as well as the angel Bartholomew remarking to the reaper Maurice that:

"Some of you have taken your skill set to a whole new level..."

While the extent of these "skills" was never fully divulged, a captured crossroads demon disclosed that rogue reapers are known to have secret ways in an out of Heaven, Hell and the Veil.

Upon death a reaper will give off a blinding light from their body. Like angels, reapers can leave an imprint on the spot where they were killed. As a part of the natural order of the universe, if an incarnation of Death is somehow struck down and killed, the first reaper that dies in turn, will take the place of Death, gaining all the knowledge of the Death or Deaths that came before.

Powers and abilities

• Dreamwalking – Reapers are capable of entering a human's subconscious while they are dreaming or in a dream-like state.
• Healing – A reaper is capable of transferring a person's life force to another, effectively healing them of any injuries or sickness.
• Electromagnetic interference – The presence of a reaper can cause power fluctuations to electricity, as well as cause vehicles to lose power.
• Invisibility – Reapers can render themselves invisible to humans unless the person is near death or in spirit/astral projection form. Reapers may also become visible at their own discretion to mortals, as well as choose who they are visible to.
• Memory manipulation – Tessa was able to restore Dean Winchester's memories of his time in the Veil during a near-death experience with a kiss.
• Perception – Reapers are able to perceive entities from spirits, demons and angels from within the Veil. This perception also makes reapers experts at tracking down souls, intuitively knowing when a person is supposed to die. The reaper Billie was able to collect a few 100,000 souls from the Veil into a Soul Catcher to help stop Amara / the Darkness.
• Perception altering – Reapers are capable of altering human perception to make themselves appear any way they wish, with the reaper Tessa having referred to the Veil as her "sandbox." This is usually done as a means of easier communication with the deceased, as their true form can be frightening.
• Possession – While reapers can make their presence visible outside of the Veil, they are also capable of possessing humans.
• Resurrection – Though antithetical to their purpose, reapers can bring people back to life, though it is usually only done under duress.
• Telekinesis – Reapers can influence their surroundings with their minds, with a gesture a reaper can throw a grown man clear across a room.
  • Chronokinesis – Reapers are capable of stopping time.
  • Necrokinesis – Reapers can kill with a simple touch, though they will rarely outright kill people. When a reaper reaps a soul, they appear to need an inciting incident for the person's death. Evidenced when Billie required Mary Winchester to kill herself before reaping her soul, telling the Winchesters that reapers don't kill.
• Teleportation – Reapers can teleport anywhere in existence, allowing them access to Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, the Veil and the Empty.

Lore on the death of a Reaper.

Vulnerabilities

• Angel blade – Reapers are vulnerable to angel blades, and can be killed by them.
• Angel cuffs – Special handcuffs etched with spellwork that are capable of binding and nullifying even a reaper's powers.
• Archangels – The Michael of Apocalypse World claimed to have trapped Death and enslaved the reapers on his world.
• Death's scythe – Reapers, like all beings, can be struck down with Death's scythe.
• Demons – Reapers can be easily overpowered by demons. They can also be possessed by demons, although the only demon that was known to be capable of doing this was Azazel, a Prince of Hell, who was more powerful than the average demon.
• The First Blade – Wielded by someone with the Mark of Cain, the First Blade can kill a reaper.
• Reaper trap – Reapers can be rendered powerless and vulnerable inside of a reaper trap. These traps also appear effective when done in the subconscious of a human in a coma dream, if that is how they are being pursued by their reaper.
• Spells – Reapers can be bound by spells. The witch Rowena was also able to kill reapers by using a spell that incinerated them.
