Overview
The demonic hierarchy is multi-layered: Crossroads demons form the lowest tier, black-eyed demons act as warriors, and yellow-eyed demons act as generals. The King or Queen of Hell, crowned after Lucifer's imprisonment, represents the highest authority among the demons and has absolute authority over their infernal master. Demonology, often drawn from Judeo-Christian traditions, is central to a fighter's knowledge of how to deal with these evil entities. Artifacts such as Kurdish demon-slaying blades and spells such as exorcism rituals are used to exorcise or destroy them. But the most feared weapon is the Colt, which is said to destroy everything in existence.
The complex dynamic between demons and humans is an important part of Supernatural's plot, leading to unexpected alliances and the eternal struggle between good and evil. Despite their evil nature, demons occasionally show traits of humanity, and some even fight for redemption, adding to their dark image. Blurring the lines between morality and supernatural politics, demons create a fascinating, chilling and dramatic element of the supernatural universe. Their relentless pursuit of power, conflicted relationships, and dark exteriors make them formidable foes and compelling characters.
History
Demons have roamed the Earth and other realms since time immemorial, wreaking havoc and tirelessly striving to enforce Lucifer's rule. Throughout history, they have been responsible for many tragedies and atrocities. Their ability to possess human bodies makes them formidable foes as they blend seamlessly into humans, corrupting, killing, manipulating and sowing the seeds of discord.
They are organized according to a strict hierarchy, with the King or Queen of Hell at the top. The infamous Crossroad Demons are a notorious group that specializes in trading and trading human souls to satisfy their deepest desires.
The Hell Knights, led by Abaddon, were the highest rank in the hierarchy. Along with the knights came the notorious deadly demon Cain, the father of murder. The Princes of Hell are considered the oldest, strongest, and one of the first demons ever created, with Azazel most famous for his pivotal role in freeing Lucifer from Hell.
Over time, demons accepted their existence and enjoyed their power. However, there have also been some redemptions. Crowley started out as a Demon of the Crossroads, became the King of Hell and, against all odds, eventually formed a shadowy alliance with the Winchester brothers, the famous demon hunters of our history.
This complex and turbulent tale of demons creates a complex tapestry of pain, power, betrayal and sometimes uneasy alliances in the supernatural universe. Obviously, their evolving story continues to challenge our characters and shape the world of Supernatural in all kinds of scary ways.

Geography
In Hell, the home of demons, the landscape is depicted as an endless expanse of suffering and decay. It is a spiritual plane separate from Earth, inaccessible by conventional means. This realm consists of many levels, each of which leads to different meandering experiences. Not your traditional fire and brimstone, but an ethereal prison tailored to its inhabitants' greatest fears and regrets.
Purgatory, another alien dimension known as a reservoir for the souls of monsters, including fallen demons. The area is described as a "dismal forest" and offers a bleak and rustic setting that symbolizes its function as a detention center. Unlike hell, escaping purgatory is hard work because the natural environment itself prevents transmission. For demons, geography is fluid. It's less about the physical spaces and more about the spiritual realms they can manipulate and inhabit. These ghostly creatures haunt different dimensions, marking their presence in the universe and defining a unique geography far removed from earthly constructs.
