Raphael (Supernatural)

Raphael is a villain appearing in the TV series Supernatural. He was played by Demore Barnes and later by Lanette Ware.

History
Raphael was an Archangel, the brother of Michael, Lucifer, and Gabriel.

In Season 5, it is revealed that Raphael was the Archangel protecting the Prophet Chuck Shurley and thus the one responsible for smitting Castiel when he attempted to help Dean Winchester prevent Sam Winchester from killing Lilith and thereby thwarting the angels' plans.

In "Free to Be You and Me," Castiel believes that Raphael knows where God is, so he and Dean track Raphael to a town and later trap him in a ring of holy fire inside an abandoned house. When Castiel demands to know where God is, Raphael asserts that God is dead. Castiel refuses to believe him, and he and Dean leave him in the ring. Raphael warns Castiel that he will find him, but Castiel replies that "today you're my little bitch."
