Early History:Dean was born on January, 24 1979. Mary Winchester, Dean's mother, was killed by Azazel (a.k.a. The Yellow-Eyed Demon ) when she interrupted him while he was feeding demon blood to Sam. Azazel pinned Mary to the ceiling, where she suffered from bleeding stomach wound and was consumed in flames. Upon witnessing this, John, the boys' father, handed the infant Sam to Dean as the nursery burned and told him to Take your brother outside as fast as you can! Dont look back! Now Dean, go! John left their home in Lawrence, Kansas, with Dean and Sam before Dean's fifth birthday.When Dean was 6 or 7, John took Dean out shooting for the first time, using bottles as target practice. According to Dean, he bullseyed every one of them. Dean has cited this story as one of his fonder memories of his father.On an occasion when John was hunting a Shtriga in Wisconsin and left Sam and Dean alone in a hotel room, Dean got bored and went out. When he came back, he found the Shtriga attacking Sammy. John returned in time to scare the Shtriga off. For a long time Dean was haunted by his failure to defend his brother. In 1991, when Dean was in sixth grade, he made his first sawed-off shotgun.Once when 12 year-old Dean was left to babysit Sam (8 years old) while John was on a hunt, Sam began to interrogate Dean about what it was that their dad actually did. Dean responded with You know that. He sells stuff. When Sam moved on to ask about their mother, Dean got angry and stormed out after yelling, Shut up! Don't you ever talk about mom! Ever! Upon his return, Sam revealed to Dean that he had found and read their dad's journal, and demanded to know if monsters are real. Dean finally resigned himself to telling Sam the truth. I swear, if you ever tell dad I told you any of this, I will end you. Promise. First thing you have to know is...we have the coolest dad in the world. He's a superhero. He is? Yeah. Monsters are real. Dad fights em. He's fighting them right now. Dean and Sam[src]It is hinted at that Dean still believed at this point that his father is a superhero and continually excused his flaws while the tension between Sam and John was clearly starting to take root. Disappointed with John's lying and absence, Sam gave Dean a Christmas present intended for his father: the amulet.During the summer of 1997 John, Dean, and Sam were hunting a werewolf. In November 1997, John parked the kids in a small town in Iowa where they attended Truman High School. While Sam was having trouble with a bully named Dirk, Dean got a girlfriend, Amanda. He became uncomfortable when she asked him to meet her parents.When she caught Dean cheating on her with another girl, she challenged him, charging that his 'cool' persona was just a cover for his pathetically sad loneliness.Around 1998, Dean and John left Sam alone to go hunt a Kitsune. At this time, Dean also gave Sam advice over the phone on how to talk to girls.In 1998 or 1999, Dean went on a road trip that was supposed to be 5 states, 5 days while Sam was in Orlando with dad, wrapping up that banshee thing . However, he spent most of his time in Lisa Braeden's loft.Sometime between 2001-2005. Sam left for Stanford. While there, he became estranged from Dean and his father and didn't speak to them for at least a couple of years. During this time, Dean met Cassie Robinson while he and John were in Athens, Ohio, for a hunt. She and Dean dated for a couple of weeks. Before Dean left, he told Cassie the 'big family secret' about hunting. It was then that Cassie promptly called him 'nuts' and dumped him.Dean also hunted a Vetala by himself during this period.AppearanceDean has green eyes and short-cropped hair that is either dark blond or light brown. He is 6'1 --ironically making him shorter than his younger brother Sam--and muscular. Dean is noted to be handsome by other characters on multiple occasions. He usually wears a plaid shirt over a T-shirt, jeans, and boots, unless he has to wear a costume to impersonate someone. Until Season 6, Dean often wore his father's leather jacket. He also used to wear a watch and a silver ring. As of Season 4, Dean has a hand-shaped burn scar on his left shoulder from where Castiel pulled him out of Hell.For the first four seasons, Dean also wore an amulet around his neck that resembled the head of a bull made of brass, attached to a black cord. This amulet was given to him by Sam as a Christmas gift when they were children. Throughout the first half of Season 5, Castiel attempts to use this amulet to find God, as its claimed power is to burn hot in God's presence. When Castiel is unsuccessful, he declares the amulet useless, and Dean throws it away.Personality Don't be afraid of the dark? What, are you kidding me? Of course you should be afraid of the dark! You know what's out there! Dean to SamDean is shown to be understanding at times, kind, funny, mischievous, and, in contrast to his younger brother, a little immature. At an early age, Dean was trained by his father, John Winchester, to hunt and kill creatures of the supernatural. However, unlike his brother Sam, he did not resent his father for having him raised like a warrior. He seemed to prefer hunting the supernatural over any normal apple pie life. However, by Season 7, following all that he has seen and done, Dean admits to Eliot Ness that he no longer wants to be a hunter and would give it up if he could.Dean is an avid fan of classic rock music. Many of his aliases have included the names of famous rock musicians. He is known to use crude humour, make sexual innuendos and indulge in pornography.Dean typically avoids any emotional intimacy, preferring to engage with women only as sexual partners. However, he has had a few long term relationships over the years, with Cassie Robinson, pre-series, and Lisa Braeden, in Season 6. After the tragic events that led Dean to ask Castiel to make it as if Lisa and her son Ben had never met him Dean seemed to give up on ever having a family other than his brother. After his break up with Lisa, Dean was reluctant to get back into his old routine of New Town, New Girl . However, the one time he was shown to indulge in a one night stand in The Slice Girls he ended up fathering an Amazon that tried to kill him. He was reluctant to defend himself against his Amazonian daughter and Sam ended up making the kill. After these events he became even more reluctant to get in a physical relationship let alone an emotional one.Dean values his family's safety over anything else, even going so far as to kill a demon and its human host in order to save Sam's life, as well as sacrificing his very soul and suffering in hell to resuscitate his brother.Even though Dean keeps himself in excellent physical shape, he is known to have very bad eating habits. He is often shown enjoying greasy, fattening or otherwise unhealthy food, especially cheeseburgers and pie, and dismisses salads, as Rabbit food . Dean is terrified of flying and claims that it is the reason why he drives everywhere.Despite his working knowledge of the supernatural, Dean is skeptical with regard to the good aspects of religion. However, he becomes somewhat more open-minded after meeting the angel Castiel.Dean has also shown on several occasions that he is a great fan of movies, particularly westerns, and was thrilled to be given a chance to go to the old west. He was also overjoyed when he met and was able to work with Eliot Ness, frequently referencing The Untouchables during the episode.Dean is typically ruthless and aggressive when he is hunting, a task which he approaches enthusiastically, making him the more merciliess of the Winchester siblings. But in spite of that, he is capable of acknowledging whenever he's going too far, as seen with his interaction with Lenore and Gordon. He passionately despises what he hunts, especially demons, and is prepared to kill without question more often than not, unlike his brother. However, despite these traits, Dean is very laid-back and well-disposed when not on the hunt, and he values the safety of his family and innocent civilians above all else, even his own life. Though on occasion he can be somewhat impulsive and/or arrogant, Dean is both extremely intelligent and competent. He is more likely to exhibit irrational behavior when his family is threatened.Dean enjoys the uncomplicated things in life, such as good food and television. He almost constantly displays some level of humorous behavior, and frequently makes light of tense situations. He sometimes appears foolish due to this habit, but this seems to be merely his means of dealing with the stress of hunting.Dean shows on multiple occasions a soft spot for children, he is also very good with them, able to talk to them with ease, and he is always very sympathetic, this most likely stems from the fact he practically raised Sam when he was a child. Dean's affection occurs to nearly all children, particularly young ones, although he also care about teenagers. Dean is more willing to put his life in danger for children than he is for nearly any others. Dean's affection even extends to monster children, and despite his ruthless standards he's usually unwilling to kill monster children unless he has a crucial need.After his extraction from Hell by Castiel, Dean begins to exhibit noticeable anxiety and experience chronic, abominable nightmares of his experience there. He also seems to have some form of flashback after seeing a collection of masks in the episode It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester , when blood is seen around eyes, such as Alistair's first appearance, when a statue's eyes bled. Initially, Dean denies remembering anything of his time in Hell, but eventually confesses to Sam that he remembers every detail. He rejects any discussion about it, either not wishing to burden his brother with his pain or not wanting to relive the details of the indescribable things he saw. He later reveals that he not only saw terrible things, but (in Hell time) was in Hell for around forty years. He confesses that he lasted thirty years without torturing other souls so as to escape the torment himself, but that he finally broke down and tortured for the last ten years. Dean's experience in Hell left a profound mark on him. He exhibits extreme grief and guilt, both for his torment and for the fact that he eventually gave in. Due to this, he believes he was unworthy of rescue. He has also explained to his brother that he wishes he couldn't feel anything, as the sorrow he feels is so overwhelming. He has also become obsessed with saving people, almost not sleeping in order to save as many as he can. In the episode Family Remains , however, Dean states it is not just the fact he tortured, but the fact he enjoyed it which causes his guilt and shame, relishing the opportunity to put his pain on other unfortunate souls. It was this act, of a righteous man turning on others that broke the first seal.Another side of Dean shown recently is his utter disgust at Sam for his actions such as blood drinking, possibly because he is scared of Sam becoming a demon like the ones he saw in Hell. However, almost immediately after some threatening and cajoling by Bobby, Dean realizes the error in his ways and, although remaining angry at Sam, he vows to save his brother. Dean also realizes family isn't perfect and there will always be times when they hurt him. In the final episode of season 4 after the argument with Bobby when he was in the safe house , he forgave his brother during the final few moments when Lucifer was rising.As of season 5 Dean does not trust Sam, and feels as if he is holding himself back and putting the world in jeopardy just to keep Sam safe. He tells Sam that Lucifer will use the fact that they are family and have love for each other against them until he was sent to the future by Zachariah. Once there, he realized that he and Sam kept each other grounded, and when he got back, he immediately called his brother. They were a team again, even though it took Dean awhile to completely trust his brother again.After his time in hell Dean slowly started to use alcohol as a crutch. He cut back on his drinking while he was living with the Braedons between seasons 5 and 6 but after being kicked out of the Braedon Household after the events of Live Free or Twihard and You Can't Handle the Truth his long term depression worsened and he dove back into the bottle. In season 7 both Bobby and Sam stated that his drinking was becoming a problem that could potentially cost him his life during a hunt.Following Bobby's death at the hands of Dick Roman, Dean developed a very strong, obsessive revenge streak in him and spent the entirety of Season Seven hunting Dick down to kill him. He in the end succeeded, only to be sent to Purgatory in the process which he resided at for a year.The constant life-or-death situations Dean was forced into in Purgatory created an extreme change in him. While he was stuck there, he became emotionless and paranoid of the fear of getting attacked. He killed monsters of Purgatory with ease and was always fighting for his survival. When returned back to Earth, his new outlook on life was clear. He became hardened, emotionless, and at times ruthless; his humor and puns were nonexistent when hunting unlike in Season Seven. That has changed with Castiel's return from Purgatory after which he started to show his lighthearted side again.Having a now haunted sense of self created in him during that year, he became firmer in his belief of hunting. He had personally seen all the monsters they hunted in Purgatory and in doing so, developed a strong sense of responsibility to the people they saved. Dean now believes that it is their duty to save people and quitting out of the hunting business is permanently out of the question. Despite becoming more ruthless, Dean has developed more faith in monsters managing to recover their humanity, as shown with him willing to let Kate go, presumably developed from his time with Benny.Equipment/WeaponsDean has been seen using a variety of weapons over the course of the series, and is very inventive while improvising weapons from his surroundings, but there are some particular armaments he seems to prefer. Dean tends to use a chromed Colt 1911 with ivory grips, which John is seen using in a flashback, and also uses a Baikal sawed-off double barrel shotgun when he needs extra firepower. However lately he has used a lever action Winchester 1887 shotgun (given to him by Jo before she died) on a more regular basis than his usual shotgun.He has also been seen with an G3 SG1 sniper rifle in Simon Said and All Dogs Go To Heaven and was proficient enough with the weapon to act as a sniper and kill several skinwalkers. Dean is shown to possess a large machete in Dead Man's Blood , and among other regular hunting items. Also, both Dean and Sam have acquired angelic blades which Dean has successfully used despite angels supposedly being the only ones capable of using them. After emerging from Purgatory, Dean started using a large, machete-like blade from the monster realm. The blade is crude in design, featuring a large bone hilt and a stone-like blade. The blade is powerful as Dean used it to behead a Leviathan and later a group of vampires.The trunk of the Chevy Impala contains numerous weapons which are implied as having been needed in the past, notable examples sheath knives and an DefTech 37mm grenade launcher.Human AbilitiesDean, trained by his father from early childhood as a hunter of the supernatural, possesses excellent combat and hunting abilities; he is established throughout the series as an extremely dangerous individual, and he is more than capable of taking a stand against even the most formidable of opponents, such as demons and vampires. Dean is adept with martial arts and knife fighting as well; he has subdued several human assailants with ease in multiple episodes and bested physically more powerful creatures, often unarmed or equipped with only a blade. Dean has also bested his younger brother Sam on two separate occasions, despite Sam's equal status as a hunter. Due to his year-long stay in Purgatory and the realms animal-like survival of the fittest environment, Dean greatly honed his hunting skills and instincts. This is shown on a few occasions such when Dean managed to get the jump on a Leviathan and behead him before the latter could even react and effortlessly killed four vampires singlehandedly when helping Benny track down and kill the nest he lived on.Dean is well-versed with multiple types of firearms and is an expert marksman, he seldom misses his intended target and can efficiently put down anything vulnerable to bullets. Dean is also a proficient tracker and possesses prudent tactical skills. Highly resourceful, he frequently utilizes improvised weapons and explosive devices; in Croatoan, he demonstrated in constructing Molotov cocktails and improvised explosive devices.Dean also possesses extensive knowledge of supernatural mythology. He is well-versed in how police, fire departments and various government agencies (FBI, CDC) typically operate and conduct investigations. He also knows how to both impersonate and evade them effectively. Dean is a virtuoso of escape, evasion, silent movement, and when the situation requires, subtlety and stealth. Lastly, he is also alarmingly skillful in many areas frowned upon by the law: lock picking, breaking into security systems (not so much computers, which often falls on Sam), car jacking and gaining an 'advantageous purchase' comes naturally to him.Dean has shown on several occasions to be a natural leader, when operating in groups, he commonly takes command, unless the group includes someone who he himself sees as a leader, such as his father or Bobby. Between him and Sam (and Castiel), he nearly always calls the shots, and acts as de facto leader. Dean also has a skill for motivation, and is a capable orator, being able to motivate others to remain strong and carry on, even in darkest moments, with mere words. This skill also allows him to inspire trust in others, something which comes in handy, when he has to explain the existence of the supernatural to non-believers.An accomplished mechanic, he maintains his Impala in tip-top condition and has maintained an intimate knowledge of automobiles and engines since childhood. He is also very talented at making electronic devices, most notably his EMF meter which he made using an old Walkman and an electromagnet powerful to wipe out an entire room full of computers in Ghostfacers .Due to his time spent in Hell as Alistair's student , Dean has an in-depth knowledge of torture, able to inflict the maximum amount of pain and agony on a victim while keeping them alive as long as possible. In the season 5 premiere, Dean revealed he had learned the banishing spell from Castiel that sends angels back to heaven.Dean is also shown to be quite a capable strategist, able to come up with many quite clever, and unothodox methods of defeating his more powerful opponents, for example he defeated the mother of all, by swallowing Phoenix Ashes (her only weakness) and tricking her in to biting him, causing her to swallow the ashes. He also devised a way to trick Dick Roman so he, Sam and Castiel could not only sneak in, but so that he could catch Dick off-guard and kill him. However he will also rush into situations, particularly if he doesn't believe there's time to stop and plan. Dean is also a capable survivalist, as he was able to survive a year in Purgatory with limited resources.Despite all of this, he believes himself to be only a grunt, but according to Sam, Dean is actually the best at lore (Sam refers to him as a genius ) and is a better hunter than anyone Sam has ever encountered including Sam himself and John Winchester.Supernatural AbilitiesIn Death Takes A Holiday, Dean temporarily becomes a ghost through astral projection and displays all the normal ghostly powers such as intangibility, invisibility and telekinesis, though it took the help of the ghost of Cole Griffith for him to master it and a lot of concentration compared to more experienced ghosts like Cole who could easily do it. However, combined with Sam, he had enough strength to drop a chandelier on a wooden floor from the ceiling with telekinesis.In Live Free or Twihard , Dean was turned into a vampire and possessed all their basic abilities, notably enhanced hearing and superhuman strength, as well as the ability to smell vampires from miles away. He also displayed the ability to jump from a balcony to a lower floor and land on his feet. Using his abilities, Dean was able to take out an entire nest of vampires, including his sire Boris who was stronger than an ordinary vampire due to his age. However, when Dean took the cure that reversed the transformation, his enhanced abilities were lost and back to normal human status.In Appointment In Samarra , Dean became Death for a day, however it was a bet made by Death in order to bring Sams soul back from the cage. Dean was required to put on Death's ring and do his work for 24 hours without taking it off, Dean became invisible had the ability to teleport anywhere and kill with a simple touch. However Dean lost the bet but Death still retrieved Sam's soul. Dean lost all the abilities after taking off the ring which is now back in Deaths possession.Being Michael's vessel, Dean is able to contain Micheal's immense power without decaying unlike Lucifer's temporary vessel Nick.Having been abducted to Avalon, Dean can since perceive fairies that may appear invisible or just like normal humans on earth.Dean's Many Death'sIn the episode, Mystery Spot , Dean dies in many different ways. They are: Shot at the Mystery Spot Run over by a car Crushed by a falling piano or desk (object disputed) Chokes on a sausage Slips in the shower Poisoned by a taco Electrocuted by his razor Accidentally killed with an axe by Sam Mauled by a golden retriever Hit by an arrow (suggested by Sam insulting Dorris's archery skills) Almost 100 other unknown ways.In the Season 3 finale No Rest for the Wicked , Dean is viciously mauled by Hell Hounds and dragged down to Hell due to a deal with a crossroads demon to resurrect Sam.In Season 5 episode 4 , The End , Dean died in an alternate timeline, in the year 2014, when Lucifer snapped Future-Dean's neck.In the Season 5 episode Dark Side of the Moon Sam and Dean are once again killed, ambushed by two hunters who blame them for the Apocalypse. Its revealed that this is not the first time they've died as its mentioned that they've gone to Heaven before but never remembered it.In Season 6 episode Appointment In Samarra Dean died briefly to contact Death in order to get Sam's soul back. In Season 7 episode 12 Time After Time After Time Dean died in an alternate timeline. He was strangled to death by Chronos, but Sam and Jody Mills save him using a spell.RelationshipsDean and Sam - Sam and Dean are brothers. Dean and Castiel - Dean and Castiel are friends. Dean and Bobby - Bobby was like a second father to the boys. Dean and Bella - Dean and Bella were enemies/allies, but more often enemies. Dean and John - Dean's relationship with his father Lisa and Ben - Closest Dean ever came to having his own family. Minor relationships - People he was acquainted with over the years.TriviaDean has killed the most main antagonists in the series, with three. He killed Azazel, Eve and Dick Roman. He's also killed one secondary antagonist, Ruby. Dean's leather jacket, that he inherited from John, is nearly identical to the one worn by the title character of the movie Taffin (Played by Pierce Brosnan). Dean has time traveled more than any other character. Going back in time 4 times (To the 1800s, the 1940s and the 1970s twice) and going forward once (to an Alternate 2014). If one counts return trips, Dean has time traveled ten times. Dean seems to be rather clueless about Pop culture, evidenced by him not know what an Xbox is, and Believing MySpace to be a porn site. However, he seems to have gotten better over time as he now has a phone with apps, something that shocked Sam. Dean is a big movie buff. Sam stated that Dean knows all of Clint Eastwoods movies, including the one with the monkey. He is also a huge fan of Chuck Norris. Dean is very good at flirting, proved in notable episodes also he was very impressive in The Girl with the Dungeons and the Dragon Tattoo where he coached a lesbian, .ie., Charlie Bradbury into flirting with a male security guard. Dean has been to the most number of different realms, Heaven, Hell, Avalon, and Purgatory. He is the first human to ever enter Purgatory. Dean is descended from one of the biblical brothers Cain or Abel, the latter who is the first murder victim who died at the hand of his brother. During his time in Purgatory, Dean seems to have adopted a new, slightly unstable personality. Hes ruthless, volatile at times, and seems to have developed a underlying blood-lust that bubbles to the surface occasionally. Not unlike his time in hell, he immersed himself the darker aspects of his being in Purgatory. Whereas in hell, Dean gave into his darker thoughts and enjoyed torturing, in Purgatory, he appears to have given into his darker instincts and embraced the warrior lifestyle that hed basically been raised for his entire life. When playing Rock, Paper, Scissors, Dean always loses.(The only way he could ever win was by being in an alternate universe.) Dean's Impala was a gift from John, which is why he's so protective of it. He is allergic to cats as evidenced in the episode Man's Best Friend With Benefits. He seems to be in to anime (more notably anime porn aka hentai). Show less «
