We're tired. We just want it to be over. We just want... Paradise [...] And whatever we want, we get! Raphael to Dean Winchester

Raphael was the third of the four archangels created by God. He was older than Gabriel but younger than Michael and Lucifer. After Lucifer's rebellion and banishment, Raphael stood by Michael in taking over the Universe.

The third archangel, Raphael lived happily in Heaven with his father God and his angelic brothers. With the Darkness existing alongside them, Raphael, his brothers, and God fought in a war against the Darkness, eventually winning the war by sealing her away.

When God created humans and asked all angels to bow down before them, Raphael was among those that did so. When Lucifer rebelled against God and Gabriel skipped out of Heaven and on to Earth, Raphael chose to side with God and Michael. Eventually, Lucifer was exiled from Heaven by Michael and later imprisoned in the cage also by Michael.

Raphael is in his old Vessel a man with black hair cut short and brown skin and a black suit and a white blouse and a black tie and black pants and he is sitting in a chair
