Penemue - The Writer
Penemue revealed to man all the secrets of their wisdom, taught them to read and write and taught them the bitter and sweet parts of knowledge.
In their truest form they were responsible for Original Sin. They are not always the quintessential "bad guy" they don't always come in the form of public figures. While in the past they have reigned as very famous public figures, in this day and age they are not any one significant person.
They have been in the past, great warriors, great men, bad men, war criminals, war heroes, great speakers, teachers, scientists. They are not your typical "evil." Some have done great things for the world, some have nearly destroyed it.
When God created man, these five did not wish to no longer be in God's favor, they were no longer God's most beautiful and desired creation. However they didn't wage war on their Creator, they fought with God against Lucifer, and when Lucifer was cast out of Heaven they took this opportunity to make their plans, and a deal of their own. They would agree to fall, but they were not cast into hell and affected by it's boundaries. They were to live among men, shaping their lives, and giving them the ability to destroy themselves.
As with all deals, there were conditions of payment, and terms. They had until December 21, 2012 to finish their job. If they didn't, they would be hell bound and kept there for eternity. If they did, then hell and earth would cease to exist. This deal was nothing more than a show of envy for man, and pride to show God just how vulnerable the creatures he'd supposed created "in His image" were. As time wore on the Five did great and terrible things with the world of men, they drove them away from God, and taught them to question everything. They showed them how to destroy each other, they turned them into men of science rather than faith. Taught them to rely on themselves rather than God. They showed them how to use their coveted "Free Will" in ways other than what God intended. They were responsible for the Fall, they were responsible for Cain's murder of his brother, the Holocaust, nuclear warfare, the age of reason, the enlightenment, King Henry VIII.
They have spent lifetime upon lifetime on earth weaving in and out, completing their tasks, and putting all their cards on the table. One of their biggest challenges (up until a few years ago) was fulfilling the need of "two flesh and blood brothers touched by heaven and hell." They were hoping to get Cain and Abel for that one, and since then haven't been quite so lucky...Until Sam Winchester, the boy with the demon blood, was killed and sent to heaven, and brought back. Then one year later, his brother Dean was sent to hell and brought back by an angel. Two flesh and blood brothers touched by heaven and hell. Bingo.
