Dean Winchester
Encyclopedia : D : DE : DEA : Dean Winchester
Dean Winchester is a character on The WB-soon to be the CW Network's Supernatural, played by Jensen Ackles.
He is best described as a womanizer, a protective older brother, talented hunter, expert in the supernatural and a smartass. He uses sarcasm, music and hunting to cover the tragic memories of his mother's supernatural death.
He is 6'1" tall and 26 years old. He usually wears worn jeans, a button-up shirt (unbuttoned, so the shirt underneath is exposed), and a dark brown leather jacket. He has a thick silver ring on his right ring finger, along with an elephant (hair) bracelet on the other arm. He also wears a long leather band necklace (an Egyptian protection charm). He loves his car, a black four-door 1967 Chevy Impala. He is a fan of classic rock music, including Motörhead, AC/DC, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, and Kansas.
When Dean was four years old, his mother was killed in his little brother Sam Winchester's (Jared Padalecki) room. 22 years later, the demon responsible for their mother's death kills Sam's girlfriend. Together, they go on a road trip to fend off mystical creatures and search for their father, who occasionally leaves new missions for his sons to complete.
The season finale concluded with Sam, Dean, and their father John escaping from a clash with the demon in Salvation, Iowa. While Sam was driving to a hospital after Dean and John got hurt, a truck T-boned the Impala, causing mass damage to the car and the Winchesters inside. The CW picked up the show for a second season, so the fate of the family will be revealed in the fall.
