Sam was born on May 2, 1983 to John and Mary Winchester in Lawrence, Kansas. He was the couple's second-born child and younger son, four years younger than his older brother, Dean. Sam stands at 6' 4" tall.

Sam is different from his older brother, in that he is sensitive, rational, more innocent, and seemingly more concerned with living a "normal life" than his brother; in spite of this, it is apparent that he would do anything for Dean. He also rebelled against his father's attempts to raise him as a demon hunter and enrolled in Stanford University.

When Dean came to ask Sam for his help in the first episode, the viewers are introduced to Jessica, Sam's girlfriend. It is apparent that Sam was somewhat popular, despite no one knowing what it is his family really does. His brother Dean is the only one allowed to call him by his nickname, "Sammy." Sam has also had more love interests than Dean, although Dean has had a few flings on the show.

Although this is the Sam the viewers have come to love in Seasons 1 & 2, Sam has slowly become more and more hardened and cold hearted as Season 3 continues on. This is most likely a result of trying to become more like Dean so he can help Dean get out of 'the Deal.'


Season 1
When Sam was only six months old (November 2, 1983), his mother was killed in his nursery by the demon Azazel. Infant Sam was saved when Dean ran outside with him while their father went back to try to rescue Mary, who was stuck on the ceiling and consumed by the flames that later engulfed the entire house.

Twenty-two years later to the day, Azazel kills Sam's girlfriend, Jessica, spurring Sam to embark on a journey with his brother to find their dad and kill the demon that killed their mother. While their father, John, is missing, he occasionally contacts the boys to leave them missions. The boys take care of mythical creatures and urban legends such as the Woman in White, the wendigo, folklore's Bloody Mary, and shapeshifters. During this time, Sam begins experiencing episodes of precognition and once displays telekinesis. He also attempts to meet girls in the many towns they visit. The season finale concludes with Sam, Dean, and their father escaping from a horrific crash with Azazel in Salvation, Iowa. While Sam is driving his father, and a badly-wounded Dean to a hospital after his brother is nearly killed by the demon (who had been possessing John), a truck piloted by a possessed man crashes into them, totaling Dean's Impala and leaving Dean on the cusp of death.


Season 2
In the beginning of the second season, Sam takes a more active role in the hunting. He tells Dean that this is what their dad would have wanted him to do. Azazel's plans for Sam are still unknown. Dean and Sam meet with three people that John once knew: Ellen Harvelle, her daughter Jo, and their computer genius associate Ash. They assist the brothers in their hunting.

In the episode "Simon Said", Sam displays immunity to Andy Gallagher's power of mind control, as opposed to Dean, who gave him his beloved Impala. He is also immune to the demonic sulfur virus in the episode "Croatoan."

Since "Hunted", Sam has learned what his father told Dean moments before his death: That Azazel plans to cause Sam to become evil and use him and "children like him" as soldiers in an upcoming war. Dean was told that if he could not save Sam, he would have to kill him. Sam is convinced that he must save as many people as he can in order to change his destiny, as he drunkenly states in "Playthings."

In the episode "Born Under a Bad Sign", Sam is possessed by the same demon responsible for Meg Masters' possession in Season 1. It is also hinted at, that this is also the same demon that led to the death of Ellen's husband. It becomes clear that if the time comes for Dean to shoot his brother, Dean would not be able to do so. In this episode, Sam (while still possessed) also kills another hunter.

In the episode "What Is and What Should Never Be", Sam and Dean aren't close in the alternate reality created by a djinn. Neither Sam nor Dean had ever hunted, and Jessica is Sam's fiancée. As in reverse to reality, their mother is alive.

The first episode of the second season finale, "All Hell Breaks Loose, Part 1", Sam is trapped in a haunted abandoned town in South Dakota with "others" of his kind. It is revealed that there is demon blood in Sam and his mother knew who Azazel was, much to Sam's surprise. Sam is stabbed by a soldier named Jake and collapses in his older brother's arms just as he and fellow hunter Bobby Singer come to the rescue. He dies within the minute, amongst his brother's pleas for him to stay with him.

In the second episode of the season finale, Dean made a deal with a "Crossroads Demon" to deliver himself to Hell in one year, in exchange for Sam's life. Sam doesn't know of what happened while he was dead, and is in fact unaware that he was ever dead in the first place. In the following battle to prevent Jake and Azazel from unleashing a demonic army, Sam shoots and kills Jake, unloading seven bullets into his body, four in the back and three in Jake's face. This is the first time Sam kills a man, or someone that isn't a demon, and seems to show no remorse; this could be because Jake killed him prior. Azazel questions Dean if he is sure that what he brought back in Sam is 100% pure. Sam figures out that he was dead, and tells Dean he'll get him out of the deal he made, no matter what.


Season 3
Season 3 mainly focuses on Sam taking a more darker tone than he had been in the previous seasons. He is doing whatever he can, or has to, to save Dean from going to Hell. In the episode "Fresh Blood" he decapitates Gordon Walker, a hunter who is turned into a vampire after he tries to kill Sam. Sam kills him with only a long piece of barb wire. Furthormore, Sam says that his powers have went away since Dean and he killed the Yellow-Eyed Demon.Thus far through out the season Sam has seemed to show no remorse of killing people possessed by demons as and other "human" enemies as it is now seen through the show.


Powers, Skills and Abilites
Sam exhibits both telekinetic and precognitive abilities at various times throughout the show. His telekinesis onscreen is limited to a single incident wherein he was under extreme stress and pressure, while his precognitive abilities, manifesting as dreams and visions of others' deaths, started prior to the first episode with dreams of Jessica's death, and continued throughout the first two seasons. Sam stated that visions stopped with the death of Azazel at the end of Season Two; Azazel is assumed to have given Sam and the other psychic children their gifts. Also in addition, to his training as a demon hunter by his father he is a skilled fighter, expert with firearms, shotguns, and melee weapons. He has vast knowledge of the supernatural, and knows of certain spells that can summon, exorcise, or vanquish demons.

Weaponry
Sam uses a chromed Beretta 92fs loaded with silver rounds and uses a pistol grip 4-shelled 12 gauge shotgun loaded with rock salt. Is also very talented at hand to hand combat shown in season 1 episode 1 when he fights Dean in his dorm room. However, Dean appears to be the more skilled of the two when it comes to hand-to-hand, something Sam would never admit.
