"Supernatural"
Castiel first appears in the series "Supernatural" for the time to help out and return to the world of people Dina Winchester, who is stuck in hell. Castiel claims to descend for Din to hell he commanded himself. And on the body of Dina, the burn was formed where the angel touched him. After that, Castiel remains to promote brothers Winchesters in the fight against demons and angels who flooded the human world.
Castiel has fantastic abilities that other angels possess. For example, destroy the demons with one touch only. The image of Castiel is little similar to the usual image of the "good" angel. The hero does not seek to help people, at first completely devoid of emotions and is badly focused in the world of people, can kill, including innocent. In the course of the case, the character gradually changes. In one of the episodes, you can see how Castiel expressively takes away to Dean's remark that without angelic forces hero "like a child in a sequence."
Angels in the series are disembodied enthusiasm, whose appearance is determined by the mortal body in which the angel was united. Mortals are not able to bring the pristine appearance and voice of angels, so the celestial creatures are looking for suitable "vessels" for incarnation. To settle in the human body, the angel needs to be consent. In addition, a person must be "suitable", otherwise the mortal shell will not stand and burn. The present name of the man in which Castiel instilled in and in whose appearance the audience observes an angel throughout the series, - Jimmy Novak.

When Novak begins to hear the voice of Castiel, the wife decides that he went crazy and demands that Jimmy addressed medical care, threatening otherwise to leave and pick up daughter. Novak agrees to become a providence from the angel with an angel, which will take care of the family, after which Castiel "captures the Office" over the body Novak. After a year, Jimmy Novak returns and reunited with his family, but it lasts long, because the heroes find the demons who put in Jimmy's wife. As a result, Jimmy again gives the body to the disposal of angel.
In some episodes, you can see Castiel with wings, which look like a transparent shadow of the appropriate form behind the hero. However, this is little similar to the familiar image of the pernate inhabitant of heaven.
Thanks to Castiel, the winchesters were hidden from the angels and archangels. For this, the hero inflicted Enochian characters right on the edges Sam and Dina. In the fifth season, Castiel is deprived of his angelic forces, but chases on the states together with Winchesters and Bobby, helping to solve their usual tasks.
The biography of Castiel is full of mysterious turns.

Dean is trying not to give the archangels to commenced and the topics of a full-scale apocalypse, but to resist these two not in human forces.
At the last moment, Michael neutralizes Castiel. The hero suddenly appears with a "shell" in the form of a bottle with a burning holy oil and throws the angel "Molotov cocktail" in the Archangel with a ridiculous cry: "Hey, Pop-ass!" Mikhail temporarily disappears, and the furious lucifer with a click "explodes" the human shell of Castiel.
Killed Castiel Returns God to Life. The hero receives the usual appearance of Jimmy Novaka, its own angelic forces and a service increase - now Castiel Seraphim.

In the seventh season it becomes obvious that Castiel bit off more than it can swallow. Together with the human souls inside it, the souls of monsters are settled. The human shell of Castiel begins to collapse, and the hero himself loses control over it, yielding the "steering wheel" of the Leviathan monsters, which now live inside him.
With the help of Winchesters, an angel manages to spew the "stuffing" from human shower and return those in purgatory, but Leviathans remain in the body of Castiel. Later, these monsters leave the dying shell and put in people. The rest of the seventh season is devoted to the war with Leviathans. And Castiel, whom Winchesters considered dead, did not die, but lost memory.
