With 'Supernatural's' eighth year firmly rooted in the mythology of angels and demons, the Winchester boys were bound to make some new friends and enemies alike. Whether or not their new friends are on the side of the angels remains to be seen, but SpoilerTV managed to uncover some interesting spoilers for a new recurring role to begin among the final season 8 episodes.

SpoilerTV reports that 'Supernatural's' producers have begun casting the role of one of the most famed angels of all, that of the "Metatron," to appear in the final three episodes of the season, and potentially recur into the ninth. The character is described as an older angel, the scribe of God and one present before the time of Adam and Eve. To Dean's would-be delight no doubt, Metatron is seen as a cross between Obi-Wan Kenobi and 'The Usual Suspect' character Verbal Kint/Keyser Söze.
