Changes: Samuel Colt

Revision as of 13:39, 9 February 2019

Samuel Colt was a hunter who lived during the nineteenth century. He created the Colt and the devil's trap guarding the Devil's gate in Wyoming. He is a legendary idol of the hunters and considered the greatest hunter of all time.

Early life

“	Back in 1835, when Halley's Comet was overhead, same night those men died at the Alamo, they say Samuel Colt made a gun. A special gun. He made it for a hunter. A man like us, only on horseback. Story goes, he made thirteen bullets. This hunter used the gun a half dozen times before he disappeared, the gun along with him... Somehow Daniel got his hands on it. They say... they say this gun can kill anything.	”
	— John Winchester

Samuel Colt created the Colt amidst the last stand of the Alamo and the passage of Halleys comet. The gun was imbibed with the power to kill most supernatural beings, and was also the only key to Samuel's later invention: the Devil's Gate.

Samuel built five frontier churches in Wyoming around the devil's gate and used iron railroad tracks to connect them, forming an enormous Devil's trap around the cemetery and crypt of the Devil's gate; thus, no demon of any strength could pass into the trap to open the gateway.

Samuel name and legacy lived on in the world of hunters, who immortalized him as an idol and who regarded him as a legendary figure--something which he was evidently amused by when he learned about it in Frontierland from a time-traveling Sam Winchester.

Season 6

Frontierland

Samuel retired from active hunting due to his increasing age and weariness; nevertheless, he built the Wyoming devil's gate by early March of 1861.

Samuel was drinking whiskey when two demonically-possessed men hunted him down to force him into opening the devil's gate or be killed. When they refused to leave him alone, he shot them dead, then lamented his broken bottle of whiskey.

With the help of the angel Castiel, Sam and Dean Winchester went back to Samuel time to kill a phoenix (Samuel's journal claimed that he had killed one at the time) and retrieve its ash in order to kill Eve in their time. When Sam arrived at Samuel house, Samuel initially suspected he was also possessed, but Sam claimed he was a fellow hunter who come from the future and proved it to a skeptical Samuel by showing him his cell phone. Samuel quickly accepted his explanation, saying that he wasn't suprised by much anymore, although he was taken aback by the apparent existence of phoenixes and being confronted with a future version of his own journal.

Samuel refused to help Sam hunt the phoenix and was reluctant to even lend him the Colt, which he believed was a curse; however, he eventually conceded to giving him the gun. The Winchesters kill the phoenix, but Castiel is forced to return them to their proper time before they can collect the ashes, or else risk them being trapped in the Old West. Off-screen, Samuel collected the ashes himself, then used Sam's cell phone (which he had kept) to package them with information on when and where to send it to; in the future, the Winchesters receive the package and use the ash to kill Eve an episode later.

Notes

SamuelColt — Samuel Colt (19th-century engraving).

The character was based on the historical gun maker of the same name.
Supernatural creator, Eric Kripke, occasionally discussed a spin-off series centered on Samuel's adventures during the Wild West; ^[1] presumably, Frontierland is an homage to this concept.
It is unknown how he got involved in hunting, but he claimed to have given up his whole life to it.
In a deleted scene from Frontierland, he is revealed to have owned the Demon-Killing Knife, but whether or not he created it as well is unclear.
