– Castiel and Uriel, 4.07 It's The Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester
History
Introduced as a "specialist" by Castiel, Uriel takes a vessel and joins Castiel in trying to prevent witches from breaking another seal: raising Samhain. Dean questions what kind of specialist he is but recieves no answer. He admits that the town he and Castiel are in isn't the first one that he has "purified".[1]
Within the Host of Heaven, Uriel was originally supervised by Castiel. But Castiel was later demoted from his supervisor station and was placed under Uriel's authority due to his growing compassion for humans, particularly towards Dean.[2]
Soon after Alastair's death[2], Uriel reveals to Castiel that he was directly responsible for the death of numerous angels that were part of and within their own garrison. He tells Castiel that, he along with some other angels want to free Lucifer so that he may reign over Earth and assume leadership in Heaven because Uriel believes that God is no longer running things and that he must be dead. Castiel and Uriel are known to have fought alongside each other during numerous angelic battles waged by Heaven[2].
He states to Dean Winchester that "We raised you out of Hell for our purposes." In many instances, the show suggests that Uriel may have been part of the legion of angels, including Castiel, who went to Hell to rescue Dean.[2]
A younger version of Uriel was seen in 5.13 The Song Remains The Same.
Appearances
4.07 It's The Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester
Uriel appears with Castiel, and appears to be keen on obliterating the town in order to prevent Samhain from rising rather than let Sam and Dean attempt to prevent it -- an attitude later revealed to be against the angels' true orders which were to follow whatever course of action Dean decided. At the end of the episode, he castigates Sam for using his powers and makes it clear that he is dispensable.
4.09 I Know What You Did Last Summer
Uriel appears with Castiel to kill Anna at the end of the episode.
4.10 Heaven And Hell
Anna manages to banish Uriel and Castiel temporarily. Later, when they are hidden by hex bags, Uriel appears to Dean in a dream, demanding he hands over Anna, and revealing that he holds her Grace. Later, when the Angels and demons are fighting, Anna regains her Grace from Uriel and transforms back into an Angel.
4.16 On The Head Of A Pin
Uriel has been promoted above Castiel, after his superiors were concerned about Castiel's empathy for Dean. He, along with Castiel, kidnaps Dean in order to have him torture Alistair and find out who's killing angels. During the interrogation, unbeknown to Castiel, Uriel causes the devil's trap holding Alistair to be broken. Uriel is one of a group of angels who support the release of Lucifer, and he wants to free Alistair and kill Dean. When Castiel works this out, he confronts Uriel who admits the plan. He has been trying to recruit angels to the cause and killing those who refuse. He asks Castiel to join him, but Castiel refuses. He attacks Castiel but Anna appears and kills Uriel.
5.13 The Song Remains The Same
Anna travels back to 1978 intending to kill Sam's parents to prevent his birth from occurring so that Lucifer can not use him a Vessel. When she learns that Castiel, Dean and Sam have followed her, she recruits a young Uriel to help her with her mission. Uriel claims that claiming a vessel is currently forbidden and recognizes that Anna isn't Anna of this time. In her defense, she tells him that she is after the people who killed him and he joins her. Michael arrives and kills Anna and sends Uriel back to Heaven.
