When Dean first asks Balthazar about Castiel and Crowley's location, he is resistant, describing his conflict on whether or not he should betray his angelic friend and help the brothers.

After some slight hesitation, Balthazar eventually gave Dean Castiel and Crowley's location and vanished. Unfortunately, Balthazar has not yet realized that this act of helping Dean and betraying Castiel had already cost him his life. Castiel summoned Balthazar to his hideout and told Balthazar there is a "Judas" among them. Cass asks Balthazar to go and find the traitor, and Balthazar attempts to play dumb, even trying to direct the blame onto another angel, going as far as to say "I bet it's that bloody Cherub, isn't it?

At this point, Balthazar is not aware that Castiel already knows that he is the traitor in question. Balthazar continues to attempt to alleviate Castiel's concerns by saying "well, you always have little old me".

Immediately afterwards, Castiel appears behind Balthazar and stabs him while saying "yes, I'll always have you".

In Unfinished Business , an alternate reality Balthazar is mentioned to have been the leader of one of Michael's armies in Apocalypse World. He was killed by the Nephilim Jack in battle.

Balthazar, often sarcastic, jokes around in every situation. Despite behaving in a more human manner than most angels, he has little tolerance for humans even calling them apes. Castiel has also mentioned that Balthazar can be impetuous. Unlike most angels, he adapted to free will easily by faking his death, stealing Heaven's weapons, and treating himself to luxurious pleasures.

This was in contrast to his siblings who were at lost at what to do after The Apocalypse was diverted and Michael being imprisoned.

Balthazar idolized Castiel, and although he enjoyed freedom from Heaven's authority, he was always willing to save Castiel from being killed by Raphael. He even aided him in his war against Raphael. While Balthazar was loyal, he came to question Castiel's motives when learning he intends to open Purgatory and even became a double agent to stop him.

He also commonly put his wellbeing before anything else. Balthazar was an average angel , possessing the remarkable abilities inherent in all angels, however, used them in an unusual way that gave him the following powers displayed on the show.

Sam uses an Enochian ritual to summon Balthazar to him. When Balthazar appears up in a loft, he teasingly asks why he hasn't summoned "his boyfriend" - Castiel.

Sam asks him if there is any way to keep a soul out of its body. Balthazar informs him of a ritual that involves Sam defiling his body; his reason for helping Sam is that he would find it useful to have Sam in his debt. He tells Sam that he would need the blood of his father that needn't come from the "father of your blood" to keep his soul out of his body.

Balthazar suddenly appears at Bobby 's house and tells Sam and Dean that Raphael intends to kill everyone who ever helped Castiel. He does not explain the situation, but quickly starts gathering Dead Sea brine, lamb's blood, and the bones of a lesser saint, which then he uses to draw a sigil on a window.

He gives a key to Sam to guard and then Virgil , Raphael's angel assassin, arrives, so Balthazar quickly tosses Sam and Dean through the window, sending them to a different universe. Later it turns out that sending the Winchesters into a different world with a bogus key was part of Balthazar and Castiel 's plan to divert Raphael 's attention from what they were really doing. While Virgil and Raphael were focused on Sam and Dean , Balthazar was able to gather the stolen weapons of Heaven and give them all to Castiel.

When Raphael arrives to kill Balthazar, Sam, and Dean, Castiel appears and threatens Raphael with the weapons now in his possession, forcing him to leave.
