There are several methods that can be used to trap or slow down a demon:
But only two can permanently destroy them:
Azazel
The demon previously known as the Yellow-Eyed Demon was revealed to be Azazel.
In traditional mythology, Azazel was one of the fallen angels known as the Grigori
(Watchers). It was Azazel and the Grigori who were banished from heaven for
corrupting humankind. These fallen angels became known as demons. It can be
assumed from this that the Yellow-Eyed Demon is a high level demon.
Crossroad Demons
These demons can be identified by their red eyes. When a deal is made at
crossroads, it is these demons who appear to seal the deal. They appear to have
the authority to barter with the dealmaker, but the final contracts are held
by "someone higher up".
Lucifer
Lucifer was one of God's Angels until he was banished from heaven due to
his excessive pride. He is often known as Satan or the Devil, although his
name simply means "Light-Bearer", which is a Roman astrological
term for the Morning Star (the planet Venus).
One of the demons that Dean speaks to mentions that the demons believe in Lucifer in the same way humans believe in God. They believe that he made them who they are and will return to them. No-one has actually seen Lucifer.
Lilith
One of the most famous female demons, Lilith is often depicted in mythology
as being Adam's first companion in the Garden of Eden. For followers of Wicca,
Lilith is seen as the Goddess, the supreme female deity.
She takes on the appearance (or has possessed) a young girl and, when using her powers, has white eyes, rather than the usual yellow, red or black. She is considered the new leader of the demons, and is out for Sam's blood.
Seven Deadly Sins
The 7 Deadly Sins are also known as the capital or cardinal sins. They are
a form of classifying sins that was originally used in early Christian teaching.
The sins, listed by both Pope Gregory the Great in the 6th Century and later
by Dante Alighieri in his poem The Divine Comedy, are Luxuria (Extravagance,
later became Lust), Gula (Gluttony), Avaritia (Greed), Acedia (Sloth), Ira (Wrath
or Anger), Invdia (Envy), Superbia (Pride)
There are also 7 Holy Virtues which oppose the sins: Chastity, Temperance, Charity, Diligence, Forgiveness, Kindness, Humility.
In 1589, Peter Binsfeld, a Bishop, theologian and witch-hunter, published his Classification of Demons, associating each of the major demons with one of the seven sins and claiming that they tempted humans by means of their chosen sin: Asmodeus - Lust, Beelzebub - Gluttony, Mammon - Greed, Belphegor - Sloth, Satan - Wrath, Leviathan - Envy, Lucifer - Pride.
