Top Ten Unsung Heroes, #1-5

ByAlice Jester
#5 – Anna Milton
 
So what makes Anna a reluctant and unwilling hero? She was an almightly and powerful angel and gave it all up. She lost faith, got disillusioned, and decided to pursue human pleasure. Worse, she even threw her grace down to Kentucky, the one state that had no idea what to do with it other than grow a tree.
 
Anna fits in this category because she’s the first to realize something was rotten in Heaven and did something about it that didn’t involve starting the apocalypse or becoming a Lucifer worshipper. She is a silent rebel that’s determined to fight on the side of good, despite the knowledge her “father” wants her dead. She’s trusting her instincts. Granted that involves a lot of hiding and pleading to Castiel to do better, but she did save his life (twice) and rid the Universe of a very bad demon (sort of) and a very bad angel. Plus she nails a Winchester, in the back seat of the Impala nonetheless, just for fun. 
 

Alas, her soft spot for Castiel gets her captured, but she’s  proven right when Zachariah reveals the dastardly plan. This is enough for Castiel to come to his senses, which is no easy feat. Something tells me there will be more to come from her too now that the world is ending. Castiel needs a fallen friend. 

 

Anna: The end… Is coming. The apocalypse.
Psychologist: The apocalypse. Like in the bible?
Anna: Kind of. I mean, same bottom line. This demon, Lilith, is trying to break the 66 seals to free Lucifer from hell. Lucifer…Will bring the apocalypse.  So…Smoke ’em if you got ’em.
 
“The Father you love, you think He wants this? You think He’d ask this of you? You think this is righteous? What you’re feeling, it’s called doubt. These orders are wrong and you know it. But you can do the right thing. You’re afraid, Cas. I was too. But, together we can.”
 
Uriel: You haven’t even met the man! There is no will. [punches Castiel] No wrath. [punches Castiel] No God.

Anna: [stabs Uriel through the neck from behind] Maybe. Maybe not. But there’s still me.

 

#4 – Victor Hendriksen
 
Even when he’s hunting down Winchesters, you could hardly call FBI Agent Victor Hendriksen a bad guy. He honestly believes he’s fighting on the side of justice, saving the world from two very bad men. After all, that’s what he’s been trained to do.   
 
He’s a righteous son of a bitch, but that’s part of his charm. His tactics and delivery are cool, cavalier, and we knew that it would only be a matter of time before he would become an ally. Sure he learns the hard way, being possessed as demons surround the same jailhouse he compares to “Mayberry PD,” but luckily the same fugitives he’s hunted as wackos are crazy enough to use a toilet to get the damned thing out of him. Whatever works. 
 

Unfortunately, we also knew given the history of this show it wouldn’t be long before he joined the dead pool too. He goes out swinging and knowing the truth though, which is the heroic way to go in this show. He even gets to come back as an angry spirit, so we truly haven’t seen the last of him. Death doesn’t seem to be an issue on this show. 

 

HenriksentalkstoDean
 

Dean: Yeah, listen, I’m not really in the negotiating mood right now.
Hendricksen: Good. Me neither. It’s my job to bring you in; alive’s a bonus but not necessary.
Dean: Whoa. Kinda harsh for a Federal Agent, don’t you think?
Hendriksen: Well, you’re not the typical suspect, are you, Dean? I want you and Sam out here, unarmed. Or we come in. And yes, I know about Sam. Bonnie to your Clyde.
Dean: Yeah, well, that part’s true, but how’d you even know we were here?
Hendriksen: Go screw yourself, that’s how I knew. It’s become my job to know about you, Dean. I’ve been looking for you for weeks now. I know about the murder in St. Louis, I know about the Houdini act you pulled in Baltimore. I know about the desecrations and the thefts. I know about your dad.
Dean: Hey, you don’t know crap about my dad.
Hendriksen: Ex-marine, raised his kids on the road, cheap motels, backwoods cabins. Real paramilitary survivalist type. I just can’t get a handle on what type of whacko he was. White supremacist, Timmy McVeigh, to-may-to, to-mah-to. Dean: You got no right talking about my dad like that. He was a hero.  

 

“My job is boring. It’s frustrating. You work three years for one break, and then maybe you can save a few people, maybe. That’s the payoff. I’ve been busting my ass for 15 years and nailed a handful of guys and all this while there’s been something off in the corner so big. So yeah, sign me up for that big frosty mug of waste of my damn life.”

#3 – Chuck The Prophet
 
Why is Chuck so high? He’s a prophet for God’s sake! An ordinary, average sad sack loser who was chosen by someone high above (maybe even God himself) to see and write the all important story of “The new New Testament.” He’s instantly earned protection from an archangel and can’t even kill himself, for angels have that covered too. 
 
Oh, but poor Chuck. He’s a loveable guy that didn’t take the news of his holy destiny very well. Who would though? I mean, what happens when you write an entire series of novels on fictional brothers saving the world only to have them show up on your doorstep one day? What do you do when you end up writing yourself into the story because you see it during your “process,” but omit pertinent details like one brother drinking demon blood to make him look less sympathetic and to leave out the fact you’re a prophet to avoid “M. Night” level of douchiness?
 

It’s all a bit too much for Chuck, who when called upon to perform heroics balks at it entirely. Eventually he caves to intimidation by Dean. He does save the day though, so no matter how he’s pushed, he scores big. He’s far less reluctant when asked to give the location of Sam in the finale, probably because he knows the end is coming. His attempt to order a night with 20 high priced hookers lets on he knows something we don’t. In the face of danger though, he stands beside Castiel in solidarity against the archangel, even if Castiel doesn’t care for the shoulder grab. Angels are so damned touchy!  

 
“Look, uh, I appreciate your enthusiasm. Really, I do. It’s always nice to hear from a fan. But for your own good I strongly suggest you get a life.”
 
Chuck: Oh. wow. Wow. That sounds…moist. Uh, what are your rates?
Woman: (on the phone): We can get you one girl, one hour — $1,000.
Chuck: Okay. Then, uh, I’ll take 20 girls for the whole night.
Woman: Um, sir, I’m not sure you can afford that.
Chuck: Lady, sometimes you got to live like there’s no tomorrow.
