Uriel is a fictional character primarily portrayed by Robert Wisdom on The CW Television Network's drama and horror television series ''Supernatural''. An angel who utilizes force and destruction to fulfill his various orders from Heaven, he has a recurring role in the fourth season. Uriel's lack of regard for humanity often leads to tension with series protagonists Sam and Dean Winchester, and even with his fellow angels Anna Milton and Castiel. Though shocked at how his character differed from typical portrayals of angels in the media, Wisdom was impressed by the depth in Uriel's characterization and felt honored to have been chosen to play him. Wisdom was universally praised by critics for his portrayal of the character. ==Plot== Uriel's (Matt Ward) first chronological appearance is in 1978 in the fifth season episode "The Song Remains the Same", wherein he responds to the summons of a future version of his superior officer Anna Milton. After Anna lies to him by telling him that John and Mary Winchester—destined parents of series protagonists Sam and Dean Winchester—will kill him in the future, Uriel agrees to assist her in killing John and Mary in order to save his own life. However, the archangel Michael intervenes to protect the Winchesters, and kills Anna before sending Uriel himself away. In 2008, Castiel rescues Dean from Hell and tasks him with stopping demons from breaking the 66 mystical seals imprisoning Lucifer in Hell. Uriel (Robert Wisdom) debuts in the fourth season episode "It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester", in which Dean and Sam investigate a series of attacks by a witch. Uriel is sent to help Castiel by destroying the town in order to ensure the witch's death and prevent her from breaking one of the seals by summoning the demon Samhain, but is ultimately forced to abide by Castiel's decision to let them find the witch instead. The Winchesters ultimately fail in stopping the summoning and the breaking of the seal, though Sam manages to exorcise Samhain back to Hell using his demonic powers. At the end of the episode, Uriel threatens to kill Sam for utilizing these powers. In "I Know What You Did Last Summer", the Winchesters and the demon Ruby attempt to protect the present-day version of Anna, who has fallen and been reborn as a human, from demons who plan to use her to find out the angels' secrets. Uriel and Castiel are ordered to kill Anna, partially to protect this information from falling into the demons' hands, but more importantly because her actions in falling constitute a serious crime in angelic society that is punishable by death.〔 Uriel and Castiel track her down at the end of "I Know What You Did Last Summer",〔 but at the beginning of the following episode "Heaven and Hell", they are sent away with a spell Anna uses so that she, Sam, Dean, and Ruby are able to escape to safety. Uriel later contacts Dean in a dream and threatens to send him back to Hell if he does not surrender Anna. He also reveals that he has Anna's angelic grace, which is capable of restoring her to her true form, but refuses to give it back to her because he believes that she deserves to die for her "crime." When Uriel next threatens to kill Sam if Dean does not give up Anna, Dean feigns agreement, tricking Uriel and Castiel into a confrontation with demons also seeking Anna. While Uriel is preoccupied with killing demons, Anna steals back her grace and disappears in a flash of light. Uriel is about to retaliate against Dean for helping Anna regain her grace, but Castiel stops him. Uriel's last chronological appearance is in "On the Head of a Pin". Now in charge of Castiel, whose burgeoning emotions have gotten him demoted, Uriel forces Dean to torture the demon Alastair for information about who has been killing angels. However, Uriel secretly frees Alastair. The demon attacks Dean, as Uriel had hoped, but Sam kills Alastair with his powers. A suspicious Castiel later questions Uriel, who eventually admits his involvement and explains that he has been working to convert other angels to his secret cause of serving Lucifer; the recently-slain angels had been the ones who refused his offer, stating that "only an angel can kill another angel." When Castiel refuses to join Uriel's cause, the two fight but Uriel quickly gains the upper hand and beats on Castiel. However, Anna stabs him through the throat with his own angel blade, killing him. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Uriel (Supernatural)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
