Kevin Tran is a fictional supporting character from the Supernatural television series, portrayed by Osric Chau.
Canon
Kevin Tran is an AP student and prophet of the Lord. This means that he can read the Word of God, allowing him access to information that others cannot read. This makes him a valuable asset to whomever can get their hands on him, much to Kevin's detriment.
He is killed partway through season 9, later coming back as a ghost.
An alternate universe version of Kevin Tran is introduced in season 13, and the original Kevin again returns as a ghost for a final appearance in season 15.
