| “ | You act like you're this cold-blooded killer. But y'know what I see when I look in your eyes? Fear, and regret, and pain. I see your chewy middle, boy. You want redemption but you ain't never gonna get it. Your kind, our kind, we can't be redeemed. All we can do is spread our pain around. So, no, you don't know who you are. But I do, which is why no matter where you go, no matter what you do, you're mine. | „ |

Asmodeus is one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside Lucifer) of Season 13 in the TV series Supernatural.
He is one of the four Princes of Hell, along with Azazel, Ramiel, and Dagon, demons created by Lucifer himself. They were among the first and most powerful demons to exist. After the death of the King of Hell, Crowley, Asmodeus temporarily takes over the position until Lucifer's return and attempts to locate Lucifer's son, Jack.
He was portrayed by Jeffrey Vincent Parise.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- He calls forward three demons, Drexel, Harrington, and Sierra, and then kills the remaining demons in the throne room with a gesture, proclaiming there's a "new sheriff in town."
- He directs the demons' attention towards finding Jack Kline, whom he plans to train to rule, with Asmodeus as his "humble adviser."
- As Drexel tells him about his experience with Lucifer's short fuse, Asmodeus, angry that Drexel would compare his meager acquaintance with Lucifer to his, shows off the scars Lucifer gave him for freeing the Shedim.
- He took the experience and used the humiliation and pain to grow and form an eternal bond with Lucifer for more sadism and torture.
- When a demon spots the Winchesters and Jack in Wyoming, Asmodeus kills and takes the form of a bartender at a bar near their motel, where he questions Dean, and tells him of his own issues with his father. Later, he disguises himself as Donatello Redfield and speaks with Sam to try and learn more about Jack.
- At one point, he actually tried to kill his father Lucifer out of sadism, all because he loves torturing people and enjoys the idea of making innocent people (especially children and town civilians) suffer, but his attempted murder failed. However, Asmodeus soon decided to join Lucifer and rule hell like a tyrant by his side.
- Additionally, after Lucifer returned, Asmodeus usurps him and has his friend Lucifer imprisoned for a long time, showing his lack of sympathy.
- When he discovers Jack will become even more powerful than Lucifer, Asmodeus decides to use him to release the shedim.
- He hurts Jack and his friends and almost kills them.
- While torturing a motel clerk from Dodge City, Asmodeus asks him what miracles he was witness to when the Winchesters and Jack stayed at his motel, and where they were going next. Dismayed by the lack of information, Asmodeus has a demon kill the clerk before ordering the rest to clean up the mess.
- As he turns to walk away, he suddenly begins sensing a power, but not that of the Nephilim and becomes amused by it.
- As he walks casually through the bar, Asmodeus starts disintegrating the bartender as he goes.
- He tells Lucifer he is satisfied with his position and how Hell is being run.
- He says he was hoping to have a meeting with Lucifer, and won't take no for an answer.
- He is able to see past Lucifer's bravado and send both Lucifer and Castiel flying back into the bar with a simple gesture.
- Answering Castiel's cell phone, Asmodeus disguises his voice to sound like Cas and tells Dean that he is looking into a very interesting lead and will contact him when he knows more.
- In his last moments, he taunts Gabriel and informs him that he knows what he will do to him and calls him weak after Gabriel defies him.
- While he called Gabriel "son" before his defeat, this doesn't make him honorable, since he was just giving him a nickname without an actual reason.
- While he may not be as heinous as God or Lucifer, Asmodeus still stands out due to torturing people, including the Archangel Gabriel, and not having that many resources as other dark villains in the franchise, being a mere torturer.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- Despite the fact his crimes are terrible, Asmodeus fails the Heinous Standards to Abaddon, Lilith and Alastair, who, with as many resources as he had, committed much more terrible deeds.
