biography key points --

For a more in-depth look at Sam and his journey thus far, feel free to take a look [ here ].

At six months old, Azazel visited him in his crib to feed Sam his blood. Upon being discovered, the demon killed Mary (Sam’s mother) and set the house ablaze.

His older brother, Dean, at the tender age of 4 helped him escape the flames.

From that point on, John (his father) became a scarce figure in his life, choosing his desire for vengeance on the demon over his children.

Sam was forced to grow up living a hunter’s lifestyle, something that he resented and rebelled against. As soon as he could, Sam left the lifestyle, in favor of a more ‘normal’ life by attending college.

At 22, when Sam was preparing to take on law school, he’s reunited with his brother who inform him that stheir father had gone missing while out on a ‘hunting trip.’

While assisting Dean for the weekend, Sam eventually returned to school to witness his girlfriend (Jess) suffer the same fate as his mother, embarking him on the journey to find his father and the demon that took both his mother and girlfriend from him.

John re-entered the brothers’ lives only to be taken from them through a deal with a demon that exchanged John’s life for Dean’s.

Dean reveals a secret that John confessed to him before dying. That Sam had demon blood running through his veins and Azazel had evil plans for him. If Dean couldn’t save him then he would have to kill Sam. 

During the journey to kill the yellow eyed demon, Azazel, Sam ends up trapped with others like him (psychics, special children) where they have to battle it out. Dean eventually finds Sam but is killed by one of the psychics.

Sam is brought back to the living when Dean makes a deal with a demon, exchanging his soul for Sam’s life.

Try as they might to find a loophole and save Dean’s life, Sam has to witness his brother’s death.

While his brother is gone, Sam is coaxed to indulge in drinking demon blood and tapping into his demonic powers by a demon (Ruby). An act that he quickly becomes addicted to as not even his brother’s return is able to stop him from this horrible behavior. Eventually Dean discovers the truth and attempts to help him.

Sam continues to put his trust in Ruby, believing she’s attempting to help him stop Lucifer from being brought to earth only to become the reason that the fallen angel is released when he kills Lilith (the first demon who had been attempting to break the seal holding Lucifer back).

Seeking to redeem himself for having released Lucifer, Sam learns he is to be the fallen angel’s vessel and, eventually, allows Lucifer to take control of him. While Lucifer is in possession of him, Sam manages to regain control long enough to open the gate to Hell and throw himself in.

Sam is returned to earth, though his soul remains in Hell, tortured.

Death returns Sam’s soul though a barrier is placed to block his memories of Hell. Eventually, he breaks through the wall that had been erected and remembers.

During this time the brothers are betrayed by Castiel (who had brought him back from Hell) by partnering with a demon and opening up Purgatory, taking souls into himself then proclaim himself as God.

With the wall between Sam and his memories broken, his mental state begins to deteriorate. He begins to have hallucinations of Lucifer that torment him.

The souls within the angel Castiel are returned but Leviathans are released in the process, setting the brothers on a new journey to stop them.

With Sam’s mental state in continual deterioration, Castiel intervenes, taking on Sam’s suffering and allowing the hunter to continue on with his life.

While on their journey to stop Leviathans, the brothers lose their father figure, Bobby. And it all comes to a head with the Leviathans’ defeat but Dean and Castiel are sent to Purgatory in the process.

With his brother gone, Sam begins to live a normal life.

The brothers are reunited when Dean finds a way to escape Purgatory and, eventually, Sam makes the decision to rededicate himself to hunting.

NOW -- (plot related)

Having discovered that there is a way to seal the gates of hell forever through three trials, the brothers (more specifically, Sam) set about completing them only to find themselves unable to do so when, after the first two trials had been completed, the world was set upside down by Chuck.
