**Almos** is a powerful white-eyed demon and the first demon Lucifer created, as well as being the final seal of the 66 Seals that had to be broken for him to be freed from his cage. He was trapped in Hell until May 2007, when he escaped and effortlessly defeated multiple rival demons to take over the deceased Azazel's former position as leader of the army of demons that he had unleashed alongside him. Almos led this army on Earth and commanded the rest of the forces of Hell in the War of the Seals against the Host of Heaven. He was responsible for the destruction of sixty-six seals guarding Lucifer's cage in 2008, ending with her allowing John Smith to kill him and freeing Lucifer in 2009. In the demonic hierarchy of Hell, he, as the original demon, ranked highest of all (beyond Alastair, The Knights of Hell, Cain, and the Princes of Hell), and was outranked only by Lucifer himself.

Although the Smiths wanted to stop Almos from raising Lucifer, their grudge with him ran far deeper than this due to the large part he played in Jacob Smith's death and his suffering in Hell, having not only ensured that he go there to break the first seal but even going so far as to sic a hellhound on a helpless Jacob, killing him, to send him there and forcing an equally helpless John to watch it all happen in front of him.

Years later, Lilith was resurrected from The Empty by Azazel to retrieve The Equalizer from the Smiths. He revealed himself to his foes, while letting them know God's endgame for them, telling the brothers that God's ending for them is depending on whatever they do. They act and he writes after. However, Almos' resurrection proves to be a short one and he is smote by the archangel Raphael but was then resurrected again.

## History

### Early Life

Almos was originally one of the early humans.

God demanded that angels bow to humans and love them more than him, but the archangel Lucifer refused because he saw humans as unworthy, for which he was cast from Heaven. Trying to prove to God that he was right about humanity's flaws, Lucifer "twisted and tempted" Almos' soul into a demon. Because of this wicked act, God had Lucifer imprisoned in a cage by Joshua as punishment for this unforgivable offense. The Cage was closed with over 600 seals, 66 of which had to be broken for Lucifer to escape. As Almos had been Lucifer's first demon, he was also made into the 66th seal; thus, if he died after 65 of the seals had been broken, his death would set Lucifer free. As the oldest demon, Almos was created before even Cain and the other Knights of Hell. Shortly after her creation, Lucifer turned four more humans into demons. These four, Azazel, Ramiel, Asmodeus and Dagon became the Princes of Hell.

Almos also aimed to deprive the Smiths of the Colt so that they would no longer have their one sure-fire way to kill her and in the future John would be more open to Ruby's suggestion of using his powers to kill him. To this end, Almos and Lazarus contacted Bela Talbot. As Bela was a professional thief who had encountered the Smiths before and earned a modicum of their trust, the demons wanted her to steal the Colt from the brothers for them. In return, they would release her from her contract. Bela accepted the deal, stole the Colt, and gave it to Lazarus. Instead of upholding their end of the deal, however, Lazarus changed the terms of the deal so that Bela was forced to also kill John if she wanted to get out of her original deal. Her attempt to kill him failed and it is implied that she was killed by a hellhound and her soul taken to Hell soon afterward.

## Physical Appearance

As a demon, Almos manifested on Earth as a thick cloud of black smoke that possesses vessels whose eyes turned fully-white when Almos chose to reveal his demonic nature. His true form could not ordinarily be perceived by humans. When Jacob glimpsed his true face, he was disturbed and described his face only as "awful". He could not immediately tell his apart from Ruby despite his temporary ability to see the faces of demons, which suggests that he and Ruby look similar enough to pass for one another (at least to humans).

Almos preferred to possess older males. He primarily possessed old mans in layers of clothes. Jacob later hallucinated him as the latter in "Yellow Fever". When he possessed Ruby's host, he noted that he liked being "all grown-up and mature".

## Powers and Abilities

As "Lucifer's first," Almos was the oldest demon, and the most powerful, to appear in the series, with only the likes of Cain and the Princes of Hell being on close to her in strength. He out-ranked even fellow white-eyed demons and Azazel in the hierarchy of Hell, with only Lucifer himself as his superior. He commanded great respect from other demons, including Alastair, as well as being feared by most of them.

* **Photokinesis** - By raising his hand, Almos could generate a blast of white light from the palm that apparently destroyed anything he wanted it to. For example, blew apart an entire police station without killing the people inside, and later performed the reverse by concentrating it solely on John so that it did not affect the house he was in at the time.
* **Telekinesis** - Almos broke a grown man's neck with a click of his fingers without touching it, and later used telekinesis to fling John and Jacob across the room, holding John immobilized to a wall at the same time he did the same to Jacob to a table.
* **Possession** - Almos took over the bodies of human beings against their will. Unlike most other demons, who usually enter and exit humans' bodies in a rush of black smoke as the humans scream, Almos apparently could also do this without humans noticing.
* **Exorcism (possibly)** - Almos claimed to have expelled Ruby from her vessel in shortly before Jacob's deal ended.
* **Invulnerability** - Almos could not be harmed or killed by conventional means.
* **Flight** - In his disembodied smoke state, Almos could fly.
* **Spell-casting** - Almos was named by Mabrius as the one who raised the Witnesses. He was able to select specific ghosts to summon and compel to attack the hunters he chose.
* **Thermokinesis** - Almos could emit extreme heat through his host's body. He was able to burn through a Devil's Trap by merely touching it. Using this, he was able to melt the Equalizer.
* **Teleportation** - Almos could instantaneously appear and disappear at will.
* **Immunity** - Almos could enter hallowed ground and Ruby claimed that he was not vulnerable to holy water. Almos proved to be the most resilient to John's demonic powers of all the demons he used them on, even with him at the peak of his power and his powers useless against him.
* **Super Strength** - As the first demon, Almos was stronger than humans, most if not all other demons and regular angels.
* **Super Stamina** - As a demon, Almos didn't require food, sleep, water or air to sustain himself.
* **Immortality** - Almos was the first and eldest demon, predating even the Princes of Hell and Knights of Hell.
* **Torture** - After Almos destroyed the police station he kept every occupant alive for another 45 minutes to torture them, he skinned Nancy Fitzgerald, while Nancy was still alive and forced everybody to watch.
* **Localization** - Almos could localize humans and sense their presence if they were not protected by hex bags.
* **Sedation** - Almos was able to cause Jacob to fall asleep.
* **Biokinesis** - With just flicks of her finger, Almos was able to cause cuts to appear on Jacob's body.
* **Terrakinesis** - When removing the devil's trap bullet from his forehead, Almos caused the ground to shake.
* **Regeneration** - Almos was able to heal his vessel from the injuries she suffered when impaled on deer antlers. He also healed the bullet wound in his head after removing the devil's trap bullet.

## Weaknesses

As one of the most powerful demons to appear, Almos was immune to most of the standard demonic weaknesses. So much so that John believed only his powers were strong enough to kill him. Despite this, Almos possessed a few weaknesses.

### Harming, Misleading or Trapping

* **Demon-Killing Knife (possibly)** - Almos seemed to be very afraid to face Ruby's knife during the previous seasons, fleeing when John threatened him with it after Jacob was killed by a hellhound.
* **Devil's trap** - Almos could be trapped by a devil's trap.
* **Hex Bag** - Almos couldn't locate someone if they were concealed by hex bags.
* **Devil's Gate** - Before the gate was opened, Almos was trapped in Hell and was unable to leave.
* **Angel Blades** - When seeing Jacob armed with it, Almos implied that the blade could harm him.
* **Devil's trap bullets** - Capable of trapping him momentarily. However, he was capable of forcefully ejecting the bullet afterwards.

### Banishing and Killing

* **Archangels** - Raphael could smite Almos, with his mere presence frightening him into leaving.
* **Special Children** - Almos could be killed by a special child such as John after drinking all of the blood of one demon and more from another. However, Almos later revealed that John was only able to kill him because he let him do it.
* **The Colt** - Almos could be killed by this gun.
* **Primordial Entities** - Almos voiced fear of God.
