* {{Irony}}: The Lance of Michael, forged by the supposedly BigGood archangel himself, kills demons instantly by making them explode into black smoke, but gives angels a slow and agonizing death by making them [[BodyHorror rot from the inside]]. The irony is remarked upon in-universe by Crowley; Ramiel explains that Michael made the Lance this way because he wanted Lucifer to suffer.

* NotQuiteDead: It was assumed after the deaths of Azazel, Lilith, Alastair, Abaddon and Cain that there were no senior ranking demons left in hell above crossroad demons. It turns out there are many yellow-eyed princes of hell still alive who are [[RetiredMonster comfortably retired]] and don't care about ruling hell or conquering heaven, or freeing their creator, Lucifer. But they will kill anyone who comes hunting for them.

It turns out there are many three yellow-eyed princes of hell still alive who are [[RetiredMonster comfortably retired]] and don't care about ruling hell or conquering heaven, or freeing their creator, Lucifer. But they will kill anyone who comes hunting for them.

** Ramiel received two as a gift from Crowley after Lucifer's first demise in season 5: the first is the spear of the Archangel Michael which smites any demon instantly and can kill any angel, but does it slowly and painfully because it was intended to take out Lucifer.

Mary asks Sam, Dean and Castiel for help on a case she’s working but neglects to mention the British Men of Letters are involved. When Mary is double-crossed, everything is revealed.

** Crowley's second gift to Ramiel was the Colt revolver from the early half of the series which can kill almost anything, which explains what Crowley did with it after Lucifer's first defeat. The British Men of Letters tasked Mary with stealing it from Ramiel.

But they will kill anyone who comes hunting for them.
* RetiredMonster: The yellow-eyed princes of hell, brothers and sisters of Azazel. They stopped caring about heaven and hell long ago and saw Azazel as a ridiculous fanatic. Instead they prefer to live quietly and engage in their own hobbies, some of which involve the occasional cattle mutilation or murder of a local virgin girl.
* TragicMistake: The Winchesters severely underestimate what they're up against with Ramiel, and it gets their fellow hunter Wally killed.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: The British Men of Letters genuinely didn't know that Ramiel was a yellow-eyed prince of hell, probably because it was such a well-kept secret by all the princes that any were still alive.
* UnexpectedSuccessor: How Crowley became the king of Hell in the first place. He OfferedTheCrown to Ramiel first, probably because he believed that a Prince of hell could and would take it and wanted to be on their side when it happened. It turns out that neither Ramiel nor any of the other princes even want the throne and he suggests Crowley take it with his blessing before some other lesser demon tries to.
* VillainsOutShopping: Ramiel actually likes to spend a lot of his time fishing.
* WeaksauceWeakness: The spear of Michael is an angelic weapon that can kill any angel or demon, yet reversing its slow-killing effects on an angel is as simple as snapping it in half.
* WhamEpisode:
** It's revealed that Azazel wasn't the only yellow-eyed demon; he was a prince of hell, personally turned by Lucifer after Lilith. And what's worse, his yellow-eyed brethren are very much alive and perpetuating the story that they're all dead in order to be left alone. His brethren include Ramiel, Asmodeus and Dagon.
** Lucifer is back, taunting Crowley in hell and played once again by ''Creator/MarkPellegrino''.
* WorldBuilding: More is revealed about the demon hierarchy: Yellow-eyed demons are the princes of hell, personally turned by Lucifer to be the generals of hell's demon armies. Not only were there many more than just Azazel, they're all still alive and living quiet retired lives because they don't give a damn about hell or heaven anymore.
