Dean and Sam Winchester (Source: Prime)


Sam Winchester and Dean Winchester are the two protagonists of the series. Dean and his brother Sam travel around the United States in their car, pursuing paranormal predators, and battling demons and angels. They were born to Mary Winchester and John Winchester, the other main characters in the series. Their mother, Mary (a retired hunter) was engulfed in a massive fire by yellow-eyed demon Azazel (one of four Princes of Hell) when they were merely children.


As their father sought supernatural creatures in an attempt to get revenge on the person who killed their mother, Sam and Dean spent their early years moving every few weeks. As a result, they had expensive upbringings and found it difficult to build lasting relationships. Later, John raised both his sons to fight the supernatural creatures as they grew up.
