1 | Arthur Ketch

Like all members of the British Men of Letters, Arthur attended the Kendricks Academy. He attended it alongside Mick Davies and Lady Toni Bevell with whom he had a relationship. After graduation, Arthur became one of the organization's top operatives, utilized for torture and assassination. According to Arthur, he has been in multiple war zones though in an unknown capacity. Arthur Ketch is first mentioned while Lady Toni Bevell is torturing Sam for information. When all their methods prove fruitless, Ms. Watt suggests bringing in Ketch; however, Toni is very much against it. He is also shown in a flashback killing a vampire, identifiable by the tattoo on his hand. Later on, Mick Davies retrieves Toni and informs her that he has sent for Mr. Ketch, who is shown preparing to leave the UK. This leaves Toni visibly uncomfortable. In American Nightmare, Mr. Ketch drives up to the Impala on a motorcycle (first seen in the previous episode) and stares at it for a moment before driving away. He later tracks down and kills Magda Peterson, telling someone on the phone that he cleaned up the Winchesters mess and they were correct about the Winchesters being unable to kill Magda. In LOTUS, Arthur rescues the Winchesters and Castiel from the Secret Service and orders Castiel to wipe their memory before introducing himself. That night, Arthur explains that his job is to "strongly encourage" the Winchesters to work with the British Men of Letters and he was sent by Mick Davies after Sam called him and hung up. Arthur has Castiel confirm that he's not lying and shows them his arsenal of weapons, including a hyperbolic pulse generator capable of exorcising a demon from its vessel. Recognizing its potential, Sam asks to borrow it and for Arthur to trust them. Arthur eventually gives the Winchesters the generator, enabling them to force Lucifer from Jefferson Rooney and send him back to Lucifer's Cage. Six weeks later, Castiel contacts Arthur and Mick to help him and Mary find

Sam and Dean who have been taken prisoner by the Secret Service. The two men are impressed to learn that the brothers had in fact borrowed Arthur's gadget in order to deal with Lucifer himself. They agree to help in hopes that it will earn them the trust of the American hunters, and through their connections, Arthur and Mick locate Sam and Dean near Site 94. Once the four encounter Sam and Dean, Arthur is unimpressed to learn that they left survivors. Sam insists the people pursuing them were just soldiers doing their job, though Arthur considers it "unprofessional". Sam, Dean, and Castiel head to Mary's car while glaring at Arthur suspiciously. Arthur and Mick watch them drive off and share a knowing look at each other. It is later revealed that Arthur went back and killed all those involved in Sam and Dean's imprisonment, including Agent Rick, Agent Camp, the soldiers and the coroner. Mick reports this while noting that cleaning up loose ends is Arthur's job. In Stuck in the Middle (With You), Mary visits Arthur after stealing the Colt and tells him the story of its theft from Ramiel. Mary is enraged that Arthur sent her after a Prince of Hell which got Wally killed and threatens to destroy the British Men of Letters if something happens to her sons. Arthur apologizes, claiming not to have known that she was going after a Prince of Hell. Arthur and Mary discuss the legend of the Colt as an excited Arthur unwraps it. In Family Feud, Arthur accompanies Mary Winchester on a rugaru hunt. Arthur tells Mary he is thoroughly impressed with Mary's hunting skills after she kills three rugarus by herself. Arthur later takes Mary to her hotel and tells her she is one of the best hunters he has ever seen. Arthur also says she is an excellent liar. Arthur tells Mary she should forget her sons as they are a weakness to her.

In The Raid, Mary and Arthur take out a vampire nest together and Arthur expresses his dislike for them trying to recruit the Winchester brothers when they have Mary. Arthur later visits Dean at the Men of Letters bunker and sits down for a drink with him. Rather than trying the sales pitch like the other British Men of Letters, Arthur is frank with Dean about his motives, telling Dean that he is a killer and the British Men of Letters offer him the best chance to express his talents. Arthur sees Dean as the same as him and the two decide to take down a vampire nest together. At the nest, Arthur initially arms himself with a gun but decides to use a machete instead like Dean. The two men find only one vampire hiding in the nest and Arthur beats upon her before Dean stops him to try things his way. When Dean promises to grant the vampire a quick end, she tells them that her nest is going after the British Men of Letters. Alarmed, Dean and Arthur rush back to the British Men of Letters compound to find that Sam has killed the Alpha Vampire and the surviving vampires have fled. Mick berates Arthur who tells him he was trying to recruit Dean and would've succeeded if Mick's operation hadn't screwed things up. He then punishes the rogue hunter Pierce Moncrieff whom they were previously working with. In The British Invasion, Arthur sleeps with Mary following a successful hunt. Mary seems tempted to bond with him further but Arthur seemingly disapproves though he appears intrigued by Mary's attempt to have "the best of both worlds." Arthur is later called back to the British Men of Letters headquarters by Doctor Hess. The two wait for Mick to arrive. Mick shows disobedience and Arthur is ordered to kill his former friend. While the two stare down at Mick's body, Arthur appearing to have some remorse or regret for his actions, Hess announces that every single one of the American hunters must be eliminated. In The Memory Remains, Arthur sends a text to Sam pretending to be

Mick, checking in if the brothers are home. Sam replies they are not, allowing Arthur to enter the Bunker with a few subordinates so they can wiretap it and search for The Colt. While scanning Dean's room, Arthur comes across a photo of Mary with a 4-years-old Dean. Once the operation is complete, Arthur returns to his own headquarters, taking the photo with him. By the time Sam and Dean return home, Arthur calls to inform them that Mick has been sent back to London so they must report directly to him, even if they don't like it. After the call, Arthur listens to the brothers' conversation through the wiretap he set up and hears Dean insult his motorbike. Arthur stares at the photo he stole while listening. In Twigs & Twine & Tasha Banes, Mary discovers Mick's body as well as the fact that the Brits are now targeting American hunters. She angrily confronts Arthur about this. Arthur initially tries to brush Mick's death off as "an unfortunate werewolf mishap", but Mary doesn't believe it, knowing werewolves don't shoot people. The two get into an argument, with Arthur claiming that his murdering of the US Secret Service agents and Magda Peterson as cleaning up after Mary's sloppy sons. Mary disagrees, and the two get into a fight. When Mary tries to make a run for it, Arthur knocks her out using a taser. He then ties her up to a chair and arranges for Toni Bevell to interrogate the hunter since Mary is still too precious of an asset to kill. In There's Something About Mary, Arthur kills seven hunters, including Eileen Leahy, with his new pet hellhound. Arthur visits Mary while she is being brainwashed by Toni into being a killer for the British Men of Letters. Mary tries to kill herself with Arthur's gun and begs Arthur to kill her as losing her will is the worst thing Mary can imagine. Apparently sympathetic and unwilling to kill Mary, Arthur assures her that it will all be over soon. He also introduces his hellhound to Toni who is disturbed.

Later, Arthur and three of his men ambush the Winchesters in the bunker, ending with Arthur's men killed and Arthur held at gunpoint by Dean. However, a fully-brainwashed Mary enters and forces her sons to release Arthur. Taking Dean's gun, Arthur forces the Winchesters and Toni, who he sees as expendable, to remain in the bunker as he and Mary leave. Arthur reveals that he is initiating a lockdown that will trap the three in the bunker with no power and water and the air being sucked out, resulting in their deaths within two to three days. He later tells an emotionless Mary that it will get easier killing people she doesn't remember loving. In Who We Are, Arthur sends Mary names of hunters to kill and prepares for a massive operation to wipe out all of the American hunters and their families. After being unable to reach Mary, Arthur has Paige discreetly track her and discovers that Mary is in Lebanon, Kansas. Realizing what this means, Arthur leaves before hunters led by Sam storm the British Men of Letters compound and kill everyone inside. Moments after reaching Mary's mind, Dean awakens to find Arthur in the bunker, having murdered Toni. Dean and Arthur engage in a brutal hand-to-hand fight through the bunker's main room that ends with Arthur holding Dean at gunpoint. Before Arthur can kill Dean, he's shot in the arm by Mary whose mind has returned thanks to Dean and Toni. Arthur tells the Winchesters he knew both of them were killers before Mary executes Arthur with a shot to the head. His body is later covered with a sheet by Mary and Dean. It's later revealed that the Winchesters dumped Arthur's body into the waste canal. In War of the Worlds, the Winchesters investigate a series of witch murders and are shocked to discover what appears to be a bearded Arthur Ketch following one of the victims. The Winchesters meet Daniela, Arthur's latest victim who reveals she managed to escape him and they use her as bait to successfully capture the man who claims

to be Arthur's twin brother Alexander, though Dean remains dubious of his story. "Alexander" tells the Winchesters that Arthur wasn't naturally amoral, was "loyal to a fault" and most likely regretted some of the things he did to them. "Alexander", who was hunting Rowena MacLeod, claims to be working as a mercenary hunter and is hunting for Rowena simply because she is a witch. After getting a weird call from Castiel, the Winchesters leave "Alexander" behind in the bunker. During a fight with a group of demons, "Alexander" suddenly appears to help, saving the Winchesters' lives and killing one with an angel blade. When asked, he explains that he had a hidden lock pick that the Winchesters would've found if they'd done a thorough cavity search. The fight causes Dean to realize that Arthur and Alexander are truly one and the same as he'd suspected as Dean recognized Arthur's fighting style along with other inconsistences. Arthur finally admits that Dean is right though he had mostly told them the truth about himself. Arthur is now separated from the British Men of Letters under his new alias of Alexander with his former employers wanting him dead for it if they knew. He is also working as a mercenary hunter. Arthur explains that long ago, he made a deal with Rowena where she supplied him with a Resurrection Seal in exchange for his help in escaping the British Men of Letters custody. After they had dumped his body, Arthur was resurrected. Arthur suggests to Dean that they are truly on the same side now which is why Arthur came to the Winchesters rescue instead of escaping. Not willing to trust Arthur, Dean attempts to kill him, wounding Arthur in the shoulder before he drops a smoke bomb and escapes on his motorcycle. Later, now clean-shaven, wearing a sling on his right arm and dressed in his old suit, Arthur agrees to work for the Prince of Hell Asmodeus to help find the Nephilim Jack in preparation for Michael's upcoming invasion.

In Devil's Bargain, Arthur criticizes Asmodeus over leaving on an "important errand," allowing the escape of Lucifer and Castiel. Despite Arthur's open defiance, Asmodeus does not get angry and instead sends Arthur to kill Lucifer before he regains full power. Arthur eventually tracks Lucifer to Sister Jo's hall, but finds it empty and is confronted by the Winchesters and Castiel. Though Arthur attempts to convince the Winchesters to work with him, they have Castiel render Arthur unconscious instead and throw him in the Impala's trunk. Dean's plan, backed up by Sam and Castiel is to take Arthur back to the bunker, shoot him again, burn his body and scatter his ashes. As the Winchesters and Castiel face off with Lucifer and Sister Jo, Arthur suddenly enters and flings a demon bomb at the two angels. Lucifer is able to teleport them out before Arthur's attack can succeed however. Though the Winchesters are annoyed by Arthur apparently helping Lucifer to escape, Arthur points out that he opted out of his own escape and risked himself to save their lives again. When questioned how he escaped, Arthur simply states that "I'm Ketch" and he'd found the demon bomb in their trunk and thought that it would work on Lucifer in his weakened state. Stating that he knows they might not listen, Arthur again suggests that they work together to go after Lucifer. As the Winchesters continue to remain skeptical, Arthur comes clean that he is working for Asmodeus. Arthur suggests that he can act as a mole for the Winchesters against Asmodeus for the sake of everyone. Though Arthur acknowledges that he knows the Winchesters think he's a monster, even he has to draw the line somewhere "and letting Lucifer free upon the Earth, well as it turns out that's my line. Not to mention the whole Michael situation." While he knows that the Winchesters want to kill him and can't forgive him, Arthur asks that they do so after he proves useful as the lesser of "at least three evils."

Ultimately, the Winchesters and Castiel agree with Arthur's request. Later, the Winchesters acknowledge that while they can't trust Arthur "even a little," they do need him "for now" and plan to kill Arthur when he is no longer needed. After returning to Asmodeus, Arthur reports that he missed Lucifer by seconds and he will find him again. When Asmodeus expresses worry about killing Lucifer before the Winchesters can use him to open up a gate to "Michael Land," Arthur points out that Lucifer is getting stronger again and even as good as Arthur is, he can't beat Lucifer at full power. Asmodeus presents Arthur with the archangel blade, the only known weapon capable of killing an archangel. A confused Arthur questions how they will use the blade since the lore states that it is only effective in the hands of an archangel, causing Asmodeus to introduce Arthur to the captive Gabriel. In The Thing, Arthur is summoned before Asmodeus, but is forced to wait by another demon. Annoyed with waiting, Arthur eventually slips past the demon guard and witnesses Asmodeus injecting himself with Gabriel's grace. Asmodeus, angered by Arthur's impudence, dismisses him to wait again. Later, Arthur is called before Asmodeus again and is informed that the Winchesters are trying to open a rift into the Apocalypse World using a ritual from the Demon Tablet that requires, amongst other things, "a whole mess" of archangel grace. Arthur acknowledges that he's learned that Castiel has been seen in Syria and admits to not telling Asmodeus as Asmodeus didn't ask and he was trying to gather more information. Angered with Arthur's continued audacity, Asmodeus beats him to a pulp and states that Arthur is worse than most demons "and I know them all." Asmodeus recognizes that the battered Arthur desires redemption for his previous actions, but states that Arthur can't be redeemed and so he belongs to Asmodeus.

After Asmodeus leaves, the battered Arthur removes a loose tooth and decides to escape with Gabriel. Grabbing the terrified Gabriel and the archangel blade, Arthur drags Gabriel from Crowley's old lair, killing the demon guard he had previously clashed with using the archangel blade. After the Winchesters return to the Men of Letters bunker with the Seal of Solomon, they discover Arthur waiting for them. To their shock, Arthur reveals the battered Gabriel. Arthur explains that Asmodeus had been holding Gabriel prisoner until Arthur rescued him. After Arthur tells them that he heard they need an archangel for a spell, Sam admits that they need Gabriel's grace, to Gabriel's obvious terror. Calming Gabriel down, Arthur presents Asmodeus' next dose of Gabriel's grace, stolen along with the archangel blade. In return, Arthur asks for sanctuary at the bunker since Asmodeus will chase him to the ends of the Earth for his actions. To both Sam and Arthur's obvious shock, Dean agrees to Arthur's proposal since it can potentially help them get their mother and Jack back. As the Winchesters prepare to open the rift to Apocalypse World, Arthur arrives and announces that he'll join Dean as he wants to be a world away from Asmodeus. To Sam's surprise, Dean agrees to allow Arthur to join him when he won't allow Sam. Dean tells Sam that he doesn't care if Arthur survives or not unlike Sam and in fact hopes he doesn't, something that Arthur takes in stride. Once the rift opens, Dean and Arthur pass through into Apocalypse World together, leaving Sam and Gabriel behind. In Bring 'em Back Alive, Arthur and Dean wander the area with Arthur practicing stealth in unfamiliar territory while Dean is put off by his methods. The two soon witness a squad of angels lining up humans and executing them on the bridge in Michael's name. Arthur stops an a furious Dean from getting involved before he notices Dean's shocked expression at a female human soldier who is captured for questioning.

Arthur and Dean then continue on as Arthur questions Dean about Charlie before Dean is grazed by a bullet. When Dean attacked by a crazed man who restrains him, Arthur comes to his aid and tackles the man for answers about where he was going to take Dean. However, the manages to pin Arthur and hold a knife to his neck but Dean took advantage of the distraction and freed himself and shoots bullets in the air to stop him, saving Arthur. Dean repeats Arthur's question and after shooting the man in the leg, he learns there is a camp for human prisoners. Arthur and Dean head in the direction of the camp and Arthur is given angel-killing bullets which amazes him as they travel. When Dean feels weakened, Arthur examines him and sees the bullet Dean was grazed by was laced with poison. Fortunately, Arthur was familiar with it and he proceeds to treat the wound and Dean gives him his answer about Charlie and how he failed her. On the way, Dean gives him his answer about Charlie and how he failed her. Arthur returns it by stating he let many comrades die on the battlefield because of orders and decided to help Dean save Charlie. Eventually, they make it to the camp where they see Charlie taken out to the middle of the camp where she was to be executed by decapitation. However, Dean threw a grenade which allows him and Arthur to storm the camp kill the guards before proceeding free Charlie from her binds. Dean managed to procure Charlie and they escape the area. After getting a safe distance away from the camp, the three head into the forest where the rift is located. Arthur watched as Dean informed Charlie of everything and they learn Jack and Mary have formed a resistance against Michael and the angels. Charlie revealed she last heard they were setting up an outpost in Dayton, Ohio.

The three make it to the rift but as they are out of time before the rift closes, Arthur implores Dean to return to the Main Universe while he remains behind in Apocalypse World to learn Michael's plans, find Mary and Jack and help the resistance coordinate for Dean's inevitable return with reinforcements. At that moment, angels appear and Arthur and Charlie hold them off as they tell Dean to head back. In Exodus, Arthur joins Charlie on a mission to ambush an angel death squad. However, it proves to be (description) Arthur Ketch (b. February 21, 1974- October 24, 2019) was a former member of the British Men of Letters. He was killed by Mary Winchester but was resurrected by Rowena MacLeod's Resurrection Seal. Following this, he begins work as a mercenary hunter and joins Asmodeus' search for Jack, only to later become a mole in his organization for the Winchesters.
