Lilith

Although mentioned only briefly by Ruby as Sam's main "competition," Lilith is introduced in the final moments of "Jus in Bello", appearing as a little girl, portrayed by Rachel Pattee. After asking Nancy Fitzgerald, Agent Henriksen, and the other survivors of the demon's siege of the whereabouts of Sam and Dean, she reveals herself to be a demon by flashing her demonic white eyes. She then proceeds to torture everyone in the station for 45 minutes, eventually destroying the station in a massive explosion. Ruby later informs the Winchesters that Lilith did so in order to send a clear, bold message that she wants them dead.

After it is revealed by Bela Talbot that Lilith holds Dean's contract, Sam and Dean track her down in New Harmony, Indiana, where she is on "shore leave." For fun, she has taken over the body of another little girl, portrayed by Sierra McCormick, and is holding the girl's family hostage, forcing them to act as if she is their daughter. Demons have also taken over the rest of the town, stationed there to protect her. After stealing Ruby's demon-killing knife, Sam and Dean head there and manage to get into the house. However, Lilith secretly expels Ruby, who followed Sam and Dean there, and takes over her host. Dean figures out the truth too late, and Lilith holds Sam at bay as a hellhound kills Dean. Lilith then tries to kill Sam, but finds that she is powerless against him. As Sam goes to kill her with Ruby's knife, Lilith flees from the host and escapes.

It is later revealed to Dean by the angel Castiel that Lilith is trying to release Lucifer. To break one of the 66 seals to free him, she casts a powerful spell in "Are You There, God? It's Me, Dean Winchester", to cause the Rising of the Witnesses.

According to series creator Eric Kripke, Lilith is "a combination of all myths concerning Lilith." Noting that the mythological Lilith's two main roles appear to be "destroyer of children and seducer of men," Kripke also stated that the show would explore those two roles, with the former already being displayed in the character's choice of hosts. In addition, Kripke stated that Lilith is higher in the demonic hierarchy than Azazel, and that "you don’t get much higher than her until you start digging into Lucifer territory."
