Samuel "Sam" Winchester is one of the two protagonists of the American television series Supernatural. Born on May 2, 1983, in Lawrence, Kansas, to John and Mary Winchester, Sam is the younger brother of Dean Winchester. After the tragic death of their mother at the hands of the demon Azazel, Sam and Dean were raised as hunters of supernatural entities by their father. Despite this upbringing, Sam sought a normal life and pursued higher education at Stanford University. However, the murder of his girlfriend, Jessica Moore, by the same demon that killed his mother, compelled him to rejoin his brother in hunting supernatural threats. Throughout the series, Sam is depicted as intelligent, empathetic, and morally driven, often serving as the research expert and moral compass of the duo. He possesses supernatural abilities, including precognitive visions and telekinesis, resulting from being fed demon blood as an infant by Azazel. These powers, along with his struggles with destiny and free will, are central to his character arc.

Dean Winchester is the elder brother of Sam Winchester and one of the central characters in Supernatural.
