User:Hallichester/Sam Winchester

Sam Winchester was born on May 5th, 1983 to Mary and John Winchester. He was originally the second and last brother of Dean Winchester until the discovery of half-brother Adam Milligan. At the beginning, he is the most sensitive and empathic of the two brothers, but as the seasons progress, he becomes more secretive and cold-blooded, after his resurrection from Hell and the loss of his soul.

Childhood and Growing Up
On November 5th, 1983, six months after his birth, he was visited in his crib by the demon Azazel, who had struck a deal with Mary 10 years prior, seeking permission to enter her house in 10 years' time. He was fed Demon Blood which later led to his coming into demonic powers in his early twenties. After his mother interrupted the demon, she was pinned to the ceiling over Sam's crib and burst into flame. John ordered Dean to take Sam out of the burning house while he tried to save Mary, but in vain.

After that particular episode of his life, he was hauled around by his father, now obsessed with finding and killing the thing that had killed his wife. Thus, he did not get to be at a school for an entire year, but only one or two semesters before moving to another. However, his father had hidden from him the fact that he hunted supernatural creatures and he just believed that his father was a travelling businessman.

It was not until a Christmas Day that eight-year old Sam came across his father's Journal and learnt of all the things that his father had hidden from him. When he demanded an explanation from his older brother Dean, the latter, although reluctant at first, spilled the beans and told him all about his father's activities. This prompted Sam to gift Dean an amulet that he had saved for John, who had not turned up on that day. Thereafter, Dean always wore the amulet until he dumped it in Dark Side of the Moon.

At 13 years old, Sam had a "phase", as he put it, whereby he went about with a wand and a deck of cards, acting like a magician. ("Criss Angel Is A Douchebag") From a young age, he had a penchant for computers, as recorded in John's Journal. Later, after a row with his father over his lifestyle and the path he had chosen for himself, he left the family and went away to Stanford to study Law.
