Sam was born on May 2, 1983 to John and Mary Winchester. He was the couple's second-born child and younger son, four years younger than his older brother, Dean. Sam is different from his older brother, in that he is sensitive, rational, 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. 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 killed Sam's girlfriend Jessica Moore, which spurs Sam to embark on a journey with his brother to find their missing father and get vengeance on the demon. While John is missing, he occasionally contacts the boys to leave them new missions to complete.

The boys fend off mystical creatures and urban legends such as the Woman in White, the wendigo, folklore's Bloody Mary, and shapeshifters. Through these missions, Sam begins experiencing episodes of precognition and once displays telekinesis. The season finale concludes with Sam, Dean, and their father John escaping from a horrific crash with Azazel in Salvation, Iowa. While Sam is driving the Winchesters to a hospital after Dean and John are hurt, a truck crashes into them, causing massive damage to Dean's Impala with the Winchesters inside. 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.

In the current season, Sam is still trying to get dean out of his deal. He killed the demon
that Dean made the deal with, although unsure weather it actualy did any good. He is
constantly being egged on and helped by the mysterious demon Ruby, who seems to know
more about the Winchesters then they do.

Equipment

Sam uses a chromed Beretta 92FS loaded with silver rounds and uses a pistol grip
4-shelled 12 gauge pump shotgun loaded with rock salt.

In Season One, he owns what appears to be a Dell Precision M65 laptop, which he uses
to gather information for hunts. The first time Sam uses the laptop is in the second
episode "Wendigo", where he plays a video message. His possession of the laptop is
ambiguous at this point because it is unsure what he did and did not salvage from the
fire at Stanford in the pilot episode. In that same episode, his brother Dean makes
references using computer software which leads viewers to believe that Dean may, in
fact, be the owner of the laptop. In "Tall Tales," Sam claims ownership of the laptop,
accusing Dean of misplacing it.

In the beginning of Season Two, when Sam and Bobby Singer are surveying the wreckage
of the totaled Impala, Sam pulls the broken pc from the passenger seat. Then, in
"Crossroad Blues," Sam is seen using an Apple 15" PowerBook or MacBook Pro,
though interestingly, its display shows a Windows OS.

Sam also appears to own a Verizon-branded Motorola Q which has on at least one
occasion (in "Hollywood Babylon") been used to visually track unseen ghosts. This
phone however was destroyed in the third season episode "Fresh Blood."

Powers

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.
