Chuck Shurley (Rob Benedict)

"It was too preposterous. Not to mention arrogant! I mean, writing yourself into the story is one thing, but as a prophet? That’s like M. Night level douchiness."

• Angel Unaware: Or prophet, at least.
• Author Avatar
• Bus Crash: It is implied in "A Little Slice of Kevin" that Chuck is dead, as there can only be one prophet at a time and Kevin Tran in the current prophet.
  • Given who Chuck was hinted to be at the end of Season 5, however....
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass
• Meta Guy: Chuck, a prophet who writes about the Winchesters adventures in trashy pulp novels. He apologizes for some of the badly-written episodes and even makes a remark about Sam's character arc for the season making him less sympathetic. At some points, his remarks smack of Author Avatar-ness. It's done surprisingly well, though.
• Perma Stubble
• Protectorate: Guarded by an Archangel.
• Put on a Bus

Kevin Tran (Osric Chau)

"Mom, you have GOT to stop drowning me in holy water EVERY TIME I GO OUT!"

• Determinator: Carries on decrypting the Demon tablet despite suffering nosebleeds and even a minor stroke.
• Distressed Dude: The poor little guy just can't stop getting kidnapped, even when he takes a level in badass post-Season 7.
• Fingore: Crowley cuts himself a little slice of Kevin and the kid ends up caving into his demands to avoid losing the rest to a knife-happy Crowley.
• Genre Savvy
• It Sucks To Be The Chosen One
• Missing Dad: Played with. His mother is referred to as "Mrs. Tran" but there are no signs of his father at his house, nor any mention of him while Kevin and Mrs. Tran are on the run.
• An Offer You Can't Refuse: Dick uses Kevin's mom to force Kevin to give him the translation of the Word of God after the offer of a letter of recommendation to Princeton fails.
• Plucky Comic Relief: Mostly.
• Sanity Slippage: In second half of Season 8.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: At the end of "What's Up, Tiger Mommy?", Crowley's words about the Winchesters' allies dying get to Kevin after he sees Dean try to kill his possessed mother, and he takes off with his catatonic mom before something worse befalls either of them.
  • Pulls this one again when troubled by Crowley (It is unclear whether it is a vision or it really happened. Odds are on the former.
• Took a Level in Badass: During the Season 7-8 Time Skip.
• Who's Your Daddy?: Crowley hints that it's someone interesting. Start planting your Epileptic Trees... now!
