The Darkness/Synopsis

## Origins

In the beginning there was only God and them. Some time later, God created several worlds, but the darkness always wanted to destroy them, and later God created the archangels to defeat them. God and his archangels deceived them and finally sealed them with a mark that was later called the Mark of Cain, although they only just managed to lock them away. God then gave Lucifer the Mark, his favorite and most precious lieutenant, to guard and protect, and the darkness has been locked away ever since. The Mark, however, began to exercise its own will and turned out to be a curse. It corrupted Lucifer, leading to a chain of events that would result in Lucifer refusing to bow to man and being cast out of Heaven . Lucifer then transferred the mark to Cain, who then passed it on to Dean thousands of years later .

## Season 10

The darkness could remain imprisoned only if the mark of Cain was passed on to another person. Thus, the removal of the Mark of Cain from Dean, caused by a spell cast by Rowena at the behest of Sam Winchester , had the unfortunate consequence of unleashing the darkness on Earth at the end of Season 10. Once released, the darkness grew to gigantic size and descended on the Winchester brothers as they tried to escape in the Impala.

## Season 11

In the season 11 premiere Out of the Darkness, Into the Fire, Dean remembers meeting the darkness in the form of a human woman. The darkness tells Dean that they are bound to each other and will help each other.
Later, while traveling, Dean and Sam encounter a couple of men with black veins and find injured Deputy Jenna Nickerson. They take Jenna to the hospital, where they meet Mike Schneider, a man who contracted the darkness from one of the rabid men. Mike asks the Winchesters and Jenna to take his newborn daughter; after he succumbs to the disease, he confronts Dean and Jenna and asks for his daughter back. As he dies, Mike says the baby's name is "Amara." In the final scene, while Jenna is changing Amara's diaper, she notices the mark of Cain on the infant.
Dean drops Jenna and Amara off at Jenna's grandmother's house. A few hours later, Amara exhibits telekinesis, which she uses to throw blocks of letters at the wall to spell out the words "feed me." While her grandmother, who believes Amara is possessed by the devil, calls a priest, Jenna calls Dean, who rushes back to the house. When Dean arrives, he is stunned to discover that the priest Jenna's grandmother has called is Crowley . Dean and Crowley step outside for a tense discussion, and Crowley tells Dean that he senses something dark and old in Amara.
While Dean and Crowley talk, Jenna goes to check on Amara, who continues to consume her soul. Moments later, after Jenna kills her grandmother before being killed by Crowley after attacking Dean, Amara suddenly ages into a prepubescent girl and flees while Dean and Crowley fight. At the end of the episode, Amara is found by Crowley, who offers her a family to eat; she accepts his offer with a smile.
Crowley takes Amara in, assigns her a demonic nanny, and teaches her about everything that has happened since her imprisonment long ago. Amara accepts Crowley's hospitality, even considers him an uncle even though he is much older than he is, and asks him about the universe that God created. She also shows fear of God. Unknown to Crowley, however, Amara conspires with an adult mirror image of herself. She also feeds on a surplus of human souls provided by Crowley, but her hunger increases to the point where she consumes the souls of her demonic nannies and ages into her teens. When a concerned Crowley tries to tell her to stop consuming souls, Amara becomes enraged and demands to be fed.
In Thin Lizzie, Amara sneaks out of Crowley's base and explores the outside world, eventually arriving in Fall River, Massachusetts, where she meets Len, a fan of Lizzie Borden, and consumes his soul. She then travels on a soul sucker which leads to a handful of axe murders that catch the attention of the Winchesters. After the real culprit is killed by Len and the Winchesters leave town to track Amara down, Amara herself watches the brothers unseen, smiling and thanking Dean.

In Our Little World, Amara, now a teenager, is confronted by Crowley about sneaking out and consuming souls, and she reluctantly agrees to go on some sort of diet and be patient. Later, Dean comes to kill Amara, only to have Crowley telekinetically nail him to a pillar. As Crowley prepares to kill Dean, Amara intervenes, nailing the King of Hell to the wall and torturing him to give Dean a safe passage. She then ends her alliance with Crowley, who agrees to her terms and leaves.

Amara then releases Dean and stands in front of him with the demon killing knife in hand. Dean is unable to attack Amara, who goes on to explain that she is on Earth to settle "the oldest score" of all time. While this is happening, Castiel confronts and questions Metatron , who reveals that Amara is actually God's older sister, whom he had to lock away in order to create the universe. Dean and Sam try to attack Amara, who flings them away before leaving and disappearing. In the last scene, Amara is seen walking between people and admiring them.

In O Brother, Where Art Thou, Amara, now a grown woman, searches for her brother God and tries to learn more about the world he created. She travels to many religious sects and kills several people, trying in vain to draw God out. Her massacre at the church attracts the attention of the Winchesters. Amara finds Dean and talks to him after teleporting him and herself in the countryside. She criticizes God for making his creations suffer and that he must be worshipped. She says that if it were up to her, there would be no more misery under God. Dean responds by accusing her of becoming the "new God" and then unsuccessfully tries to stab her with a knife, which breaks on contact. Undeterred by the attack, Amara advises Dean that although he might try, she cannot be resisted. She then kisses Dean and says that in the end they will be one.

Three angels appear and ask Amara to surrender to Heaven's judgment, lest all the angels in Heaven unite and strike her in a massive attack. She refuses and the three angels attack Amara, though she kills them all without difficulty. All the angels of heaven gather their power to strike Amara with their powerful celestial blast, as only seen during the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Amara teleports Dean to safety just before the blast hits her.

Castiel and another angel Ambriel, sent to check if the tormentors killed Amara, discover that the explosion site is shrouded in darkness. Ambriel discovered her lying unconscious on the ground. Amara awakens, consuming Ambriel's grace and absorbing the darkness in the area. Castiel sees this and approaches Amara with his angel blade, which amuses Amara, who defeats him with ease but decides to spare his life, burning the words "I'm coming" on his chest and sending him to Reaper Billie.

In Hell's Angel, Amara recovers from the celestial explosion thanks to the powerful witch Rowena , who offers her help and becomes her ally, saying that with her knowledge she could help in the world-building of the darkness. Amara tests her power by sending a powerful explosion towards the sky.

Crowley and the Winchesters have obtained the Horn of Joshua, a God-touched shofar that contains a fraction of his power that the Winchesters believe could be used by Lucifer, who owns Castiel's ship, to destroy the darkness. With the help of Rowena, they summon Lucifer and light a ring of sacred fire around him when he appears. They try to train Lucifer from Castiel's ship, but fail and Lucifer takes the horn of Joshua and tries to kill the brothers. Amara bursts in after tracking Rowena down to the location. Lucifer then attacks and tries to kill Amara with the Horn of Joshua, but even this can't even faze her.

Amara then telekinetically grabs her nephew and tells him they need to have a "nice, long talk" and teleports with him. Lucifer then tries to ally with his aunt by saying that they both have a common enemy, God, which she agrees with, but not in the way Lucifer intended. Instead, she believes that Lucifer is the only thing in creation that God still cares about, and tortures the archangel to draw him out.

In Don't Call Me Shurley, Amara unleashes a mist over a small town that turns people rabid, much stronger than the previous Darkness virus, and attracts the attention of the Winchesters.

As the fog began to cover most of the town, the Winchesters and local residents took shelter in the police station while Sam and Dean attempted to seal the openings from the fog. They fail and the fog enters the station. Just before everyone succumbs to the effects of the virus, God, spurred on by Metatron, returns and disperses the mist, healing the infected and bringing the deceased back to life.

In all in the family, Amara is still torturing Lucifer in hopes of drawing God out, and appears to Dean to inform him of Lucifer and thus Castiel's stricken condition. Amara has also created more mists in Lewis, Oklahoma, accidentally turning Donatello Redfield into a prophet. Dean would later agree to meet with Amara in a forest and asks him to bond with her for eternity. Amara soon realizes that she cannot find Dean's thoughts, as he has been talking to God, and Amara feels betrayed. She returns to the place where she held Lucifer, who is now rescued by Sam, Donatello and Metatron. Metatron tries to defeat Amara with a banishing angel seal, but this attempt is futile as Amara is still standing. Metatron asks Amara to spare the universe to no avail, and Amara then implodes Metatron into nothingness in retaliation. As Sam, Donatello and Lucifer speed away in the Impala, Amara manifests in front of the car and declares that no one is worth sparing. Just as Amara nearly kills the trio, God teleports the car to the Men of Letters bunker.

In We Happy Few, Amara attacks Donatello and demands to know where God is. Donatello refuses, but Amara simply consumes his soul and finds out for herself. She enters the bunker after burning away the protective seals. She notices God's cup with the inscription "The Greatest Father in the World." Annoyed, Amara breaks the cup. As she goes through Dean's things, Rowena calls her and tells her that she will take them to God. Amara joins Rowena at a nearby abandoned power plant, even though she knows it's a trap. Rowena attacks Amara with the waning spell empowered by other witches and knocks Amara down, though she gets back up and repels the spell, knocking Rowena off and killing the other witches. Shortly after, the angels in heaven strike Amara again, leaving Amara visibly wounded.

Before she can recover, a swarm of demons in their smoke forms also attack Amara, including Crowley, who pushes her into a car. Amara, now badly beaten, goes into the warehouse and finds God waiting for her, seeing him for the first time in eons. When she tries to attack, Lucifer impales her with his spear. Amara surrenders and prepares for God to kill her.

Instead, however, God begins to imprison Amara once again, using Sam as a carrier. Amara, horrified at the idea of being imprisoned again, attacks God with tendrils of darkness, declaring that she would die sooner and kill him a million times over before being imprisoned again. Lucifer attacks Amara with his spear to save his father, but instead Amara distracts him and pulls him out of his ship. She leaves God on the ground to die slowly, telling him that before he does, he will witness the destruction of everything he has created.

In Alpha and Omega, as the sun is dying, Amara is in a park lamenting that her brother's creation is slowly dying, even though she has stated that this is what she wanted, noting that she is also affected by his current damaged state. She is approached by an elderly woman who tells her that she "hates" her son because he is trying to put her in a nursing home, even though she still loves him because he is family. Amara is affected by this conversation and realizes her mistake.

When the sun was still dying, Dean came to Amara's location with a soul bomb in his chest to kill Amara to restore balance and save the world. Amara admits that she regrets what she did to her brother, and Dean tells her that he doesn't want her dead either. He encourages her to reconcile with God, as he is irreplaceable as her family and revenge only feels good for a short time.

Amara then teleports her brother to her location, she talks to him and tells him that she is jealous that he created things that means he doesn't need her anymore. Amara also says that she hated him for centuries after he and his creations locked her away. She revealed that she just wanted revenge. She saw what his creations did and admits that they are beautiful and it was wrong of her to try to destroy them. Amara says that despite his betrayal of her, she still loves him, as God says he still feels the same way about her.

Amara heals God and prevents the destruction of the world while restoring the sun. To reconcile completely, God tells Dean that he and his sister will leave Earth for a while as they both do. God then removes the soul bomb from Dean's body before he returns to his sister.

Amara thanks Dean for helping her reconcile with her brother, as that was what she really wanted. She says she wants to return the favor to Dean as she and her brother transform into darkness and light and leave Earth.

While wandering through the forest, Dean discovers that his mother Mary Winchester has been revived by Amara as a thank you.

## Season 15

In the raising of Hell, Amara is getting a massage, but her masseuse is being beaten by God, which annoys Amara as the two agreed to give each other space. Later, Amara explains that she is not interested in connecting with God, enjoying her time on earth, citing that everyone is different from him. Amara senses that something is wrong with him and wants to know why he is really there. She notices his wound from the equalizer Sam gave him and says he is incomplete. She refuses to help God but only tolerates their living together. God tries to force her to help, though Amara warns against it, saying that he could not make her do anything even if he were at full power. She knows he can't leave Earth without her help, so she leaves him there as a kind of retribution for her own imprisonment eons ago. She says that she has changed and adapted, while God has remained as petulant and narcissistic as he always was. Amara then leaves her brother, who is officially stuck on Earth.

In Gimme Shelter, Dean convinces Amara to help them, but intends to kill both Amara and God.

In Unity , when God returns, Amara helps the Winchesters trap her brother after failing to convince him to change his mind. However, God reveals her true plan and a devastated Amara allows God to take her in to become One. Later, God tells the Winchesters, Jack, and Castiel that Amara still lives somewhere within him.

In Inherit the Earth, Jack explains that he and Amara now exist in harmony, having absorbed God's power.

## Season 1

Many years have passed when Chuck, alias God, became mortal. During that time, Jack became the new ruler of Heaven. However, Jack and you sensed that something powerful was born, not as powerful as they or Chuck were, but it was something higher than an Arch Nephilim (an Archangel hybrid as Jack was), they wanted to track down this being, but it was more difficult than they thought. Finally, they managed to track down this being.

It was a powerful being, but looked like a human, and they realized that it had somehow been created by Chuck (God). They wanted to talk to the child, but not in front of so many people, so they teleported it to the sky (where Jack is the ruler) to a room where they would be undisturbed.

When the being saw that it was somewhere else, it asked, "Who are you? Why did you bring me here?

Jack replied, "I am the new god" He replied, "The new god, where is he, the old one?" Jack said, "Haven't you noticed that God destroyed almost all of creation, this universe and all? My dad wasn't exactly a hero, but I didn't expect him to be the damn Big Bad!" Jack said in surprise, "What, Dad, you're Chuck's son?" He said, "Hell yeah" Jack and they were surprised. He said, "Where are we anyway?" Jack said, "This is heaven, do you want a tour?" He said, "Yeah, I've always wanted to see the sky." Jack showed him the sky and after many hours they were done.

He wanted to go back home, but Jack wanted to know his name. He said, "My name is David," and Jack teleported him back home.

After days, David teleported to heaven, and the angels noticed him and brought him to Jack. Jack was surprised in a good sense that he was back and said, "The angels let him go!" The angels let him go. Jack said to David, "How could you go to heaven?" David said, "I wanted to go back to heaven because I like it here, and a second later I was here" "You teleported," Jack said. David was surprised and happy that he had powers and said, "Wow, I have powers" Jack asked him, "How old are you?" "I'm 15 years old." Jack wanted to train David and said, "You need to be able to control your powers." David said, "Okay, how do I do that?" Jack said, "You need to train, we have a training room, it's really only for our warrior angels, but this time you can train here." Jack and David went to the training room and trained to control his powers. They both also practiced for hours with other angels to see what David could do, who quickly got his powers under control. The angels were no challenge to them.  Jack wanted Castiel to practice with him to see if he could beat a higher angel, but that was no problem either (several, in fact). After many hours, they finished the training.

Jack offered him a bedroom to stay in because Heaven liked him, he agreed, but he still wanted to be on Earth and not just in Heaven.

In the next they trained the powers and Jack/Amara were impressed with his achievements, he could wipe out demons with a wave of his hand, was immune to angel blades and even archangel blades, could travel demons and even angels (who became evil) from their bodies. Jack and Amara wanted to know what kind of being Jack was on steroids. Later, Jack and David went on several missions. David's invulnerability was demonstrated when he killed hundreds of angels with bullets and even bullets from a gun that was similar to the Colt, which made him one of the things in creation that was immune.  David and Jack were searching for a creature called Damien Thorn, an ore cambion, when they found him Jack initially held back to see how strong he was. David was not able to kill him, but he was able to give him several blows and eventually overpower him. Jack was surprised to see an Arch Cambion that was almost as strong as Jack's previous Arch Nephilim and said, "Dude, you just overpowered an Arch Cambion" "What is a Cambion anyway?" asked David. "A cambion is a cross between a human and a demon, and an archcambion is descended from an archdemon, the highest demons even before Lillith, and a human who is very powerful" said Jack, and David was surprised at how powerful he himself is. Meanwhile, Amara thought about what David is and knew what he is. When Jack was alone in his throne room, she made a psychic projection from her human form and said, "Hi Jack, I know what David is." Jack asked, "What is he?" Jack asked, "What is he?" She said, "He's a demiurge, a hybrid of a primordial being, in that case my brother, and a human, and his power is almost limitless, far surpassed only by other primordial beings like us." [...] Jack was surprised and frightened at the same time. Some time later he told David what he is. David was surprised at what he is and wanted to train his powers even more because he was afraid that someone would hurt him. When Damien woke up, he was suddenly in prison and said, "Where the hell am I?" "In the prison of heaven." Damien was shocked and wanted to break out, but couldn't because he used all his power to make an "extreme explosion", but it was slightly damaged and broke. David trained again days later and his power became extremely stronger. Jack went to Damien to find out something, even though he spoke too late and was the son of the most powerful archdemon named Satan. Damien caused several explosions and just managed to destroy the prison when Jack briefly pushed him against the wall. David noticed this and ran to Jack to help him fight Damien and killed Damien when he put his hand on his forehead and punched him.
