Rufus Turner

Rufus Turner was an ex-hunter who retired from active hunting until the Apocalypse arrives. He was killed by Bobby while the latter was possessed with the Khan Worm.

Early Life
He helped Bobby Singer when his wife, Karen Singer, was possessed by a demon. Rufus exorcised the demon and helped cover up Karen's death. It's Rufus who introduces Bobby to the world of the supernatural, and they hunt together for many years until a hunt goes wrong in Omaha, and a woman important to Rufus dies. They become estranged after the incident.

Season 3
In "Time Is On My Side ", Bobby recives a call from Rufus saying that he has information on Bela Talbot. Dean Winchester goes to talk to him, and Bobby tells him to bring a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue Label. At first, Rufus is very hostile towards Dean and refuses to help him. Then Dean offers him some Johnny Walker Blue and Rufus smiles and let's him in. They share the bottle, and Rufus gives Dean the files on Bela, which have many interesting details on her.

Season 4
In When the Levee Breaks, Rufus calls Bobby with news of more of the The 66 Seals being broken. The seals Rufus Turner reports being broken are: ten species extinct in Key West, fishing crew of fifteen goes blind in Alaska, and a teacher in New York kills 66 students, all in one day.

Season 5
In "Good God, Y'all", Rufus heads to a town he thinks is under attack from demons, based on omens of a polluted river and a falling star. He calls Ellen and Jo and Bobby for help. When Sam and Dean arrive he and Jo have been separated from Ellen.

Jo and Rufus capture Sam, thinking he is possessed. Later, Ellen and Dean are able to help break the spell War has over them.

In "The Devil You Know", Bobby talks on the phone to Rufus about omens that may indicate the presence of Death.

Season 6
In Weekend At Bobby's, Rufus knocks on Bobby's door he has the police on his tail and needs Bobby's help disposing the body of an Okami that he found in Billings, Montana. He and Bobby bury the Okami's body on Bobby's property, at the same time discussing Bobby's progress concerning Crowley and the return of his soul. Rufus reveals that he has some contacts in Scotland, where Crowley, aka Fergus MacLeod, apparently lived when he was human. Rufus tells Bobby that he'll see what he can learn and then leaves just before Sheriff Jody Mills shows up with an FBI agent, Agent Adams, who is looking for Rufus on suspicion of murder. Agent Adams is persistent, and Sheriff Jodie Mills tries to distract him, but Adams finds the spot where the Okami was buried. Fortunately, there is no longer any evidence of a crime because the Okami is gone. Unfortunately, Rufus didn't stab it enough times to kill it, and it is loose.

Bobby is able to kill the Okami, and Rufus thanks him. He also tells him what his contacts in Scotland have learned about Fergus MacLeod, aka Crowley. Crowley had a son named Gavin MacLeod, whose signet ring is on display in a museum in Andover. Rufus steals the ring for Bobby, but is arrested. As a favor to Bobby, Sheriff Jodie Mills extradites Rufus to Sioux Falls and allows him to "escape custody" so that Rufus can deliver the signet ring to Bobby. Bobby uses the ring to summon Gavin's ghost, learn what he needs to learn about Crowley, and negotiate the return of his soul.

In Like A Virgin, To avoid going on a hunt, Bobby makes an excuse that he needs to watch the phones for Rufus.

In ...And Then There Were None, Rufus meets up with Bobby, Sam, and Dean while they are investigating deaths related to a spike in the activity of supernatural creatures. While investigating the murders, they also encounter Samuel and Gwen Campbell at a cannery. The creature responsible for the deaths, the Khan Worm, infects Dean and uses him to kill Gwen, and then it infects Samuel. Sam kills the possessed Samuel, and while Rufus and Bobby prepare to cut open Samuel's skull to look for the Khan Worm, they discuss an unfortunate hunt in Omaha. It can be inferred that Bobby messed up on the hunt and caused the death of someone that Rufus cared for, and Rufus says that he will never forgive Bobby for what happened.

When they begin cutting into Samuel's skull, the Khan Worm animates Samuel's dead body and attacks them. During the struggle, Samuel is electrocuted and the worm leaves his body and infects Bobby, who kills Rufus while possessed.

After the creature is killed, Bobby, Sam, and Dean bury Rufus. As cremation is not undertaken in the Jewish tradition, Rufus is buried, in what is obviosuly a Jewish cemetery, rather than given a Hunter's Funeral Pyre. Bobby pours some of Rufus' favourite drink Johnny Walker Blue Label—on the grave before taking a drink himself.
