Cain formed an elite squad of demonic killers known as the [[Knights of Hell]]. The Blade is the only thing in existence capable of killing them. After Cain left the Knights for love, they kidnapped the woman -- [[Colette Mullen]]. In retribution Cain killed them all, except [[Abaddon]], who was possessing the body of Colette, and escaped as Cain drove the First Blade into her body. Afterwards Cain made a promise to a dying Colette that he would give up killing, with the First Blade being indestructible, Cain was forced to throw it into the bottom of the deepest ocean to rid himself of it; [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariana_Trench the Mariana Trench].
After Abaddon returned and began trying to take over Hell, Dean and the King of Hell, [[Crowley]], began a search for the First Blade. After Cain gave Dean the Mark of Cain, he told them that the First Blade was thrown into the bottom of the deepest ocean. Crowley discovered that the blade was recovered by an unmanned submarine long before he reached the bottom of the trench and it has been bouncing around the world ever since. After it was recovered from the Mariana Trench, The First Blade was eventually stolen by a research assistant who participated in its recovery, who reportedly sold it to Portuguese smugglers, who lost it to Moroccan pirates in a poker game, who sold it to the black market antiquities dealer; [[André Develin]], who had sold it to [[Dr. McElroy]] from the National Institute of Antiquities in Kansas City, Missouri, where it was eventually purchased by former [[Men of Letters|Man of Letters]]; [[Cuthbert Sinclair]] due to its authentication process being unreliable. After retrieving it when Dean used it to kill Sinclair, Crowley took the First Blade rather than let Dean keep it stating that he will use it only when Abaddon was located. After being captured by Abaddon, Crowley led Dean to the First Blade and Dean managed to kill Abaddon with it. After Dean briefly turned into a demon after being killed by [[Metatron]] while attempting to use the First Blade on him, Crowley took it back in exchange for giving Sam Dean's location and hid it in a crypt in Guam. Crowley retrieved the First Blade after Metatron told the Winchesters that it could be used as part of a cure for the Mark of Cain, but refused to hand it over until they had the rest of the cure. After Cain started murdering again, Crowley lent Dean the First Blade in exchange for it being used to kill Cain. Cain eventually got the First Blade back, but Dean managed to overpower him and kill him in the end. Rather than returning the First Blade to Crowley, Dean gave it to [[Castiel]] who hid it somewhere safe. When the Mark of Cain is removed by Rowena and [[The the Darkness]] is released, the First Blade becomes useless.

Dean and Crowley then stop at a diner so Dean can work on tracking down [[Metatron]], soon two of Crowley's demon minions arrive with a video showing Metatron resurrecting a woman and whispering something in her ear. With that lead they track the woman down to her trailer park, where Dean has a confrontation with Sam and tells him whether he likes it or not he is going to kill Metatron with the First Blade, for which Sam reluctantly agrees that Dean is their only chance.
Dean and Sam arrive at the homeless camp where Metatron has set-up shop, amassing a following that thinks he is the new Messiah. After getting the First Blade from the trunk of the Impala, Dean knocks Sam unconscious telling him killing Metatron is something he needs to do alone. Dean enters the camp and is directed to Metatron's location, where he confronts him blaming him for everything bad that has happened in the last year. A fight ensues between the two, where Dean is severely beaten by Metatron, and drops the First Blade. Just as as he uses his telekinesis to get the First Blade back in his hand, Metatron stabs him in the chest with his [[angel blade]]. Sam tries desperately to get Dean some help, however Dean soon dies in Sam's arms.
After Sam has cleaned Dean's wounds, he places him in his room at the Bunker and prepares to summon Crowley to fix the mess he believes Crowley has caused. However Crowley is already in Dean's room. He begins speaking to Dean's dead body, telling him that he didn't know the full extent of the Mark of Cain. He tells him how Cain too did not like what was happening to him, and tried to kill himself, however his suicide failed, because the Mark wouldn't let him die. Crowley then places the First Blade into Dean's hand, and tells him to wake up. After a moment, Dean's eyes open, which have become a demonic black.
