Chuck Shurley is an author who wrote the low selling Supernatural book series, which he writes under the pen name Carver Edlund. The contents of the
books are actually Sam and Dean's lives, the details of which come to him in his dreams. Chuck continued to write even though the
books were no longer being published. Unbeknownst to him, the inspiration of the books is divine - as he is a prophet of God.1 Chuck says he started writing because of a childhood crush on
Nancy McKeon, the actress who played
Jo on the TV show The Facts of Life. Chuck thinks he must have sent her
40-50 letters, but she never wrote back.

Amara's return, Chuck returns to reveal to Metatron that he is in fact God in
human disguise. After Metatron convinces Chuck to help, Chuck reveals himself to the Winchesters and begins aiding them in their efforts against his
sister.
