Movies and TV

John Winchester is a central character in the American television series Supernatural, played primarily by Jeffrey Dean Morgan. He also appears in flashbacks portrayed by other actors.

John's life takes a dramatic turn when his wife, Mary, is killed by the demon Azazel. Consumed by grief and a thirst for revenge, he dedicates his life to hunting supernatural creatures, particularly demons. He raises his sons, Dean and Sam, to be hunters, training them from a young age in combat, weaponry, and lore about the supernatural.

John's relationship with his sons is complex. He is a stern and often emotionally distant figure, prioritizing the hunt over their well-being. His obsession with Azazel frequently puts them in danger. Despite his flaws, he deeply loves his sons and ultimately sacrifices himself to save Dean from Azazel, solidifying his complicated legacy.

While often absent during their adult lives, John's influence shapes Dean and Sam, driving their actions and defining their roles in the fight against evil. His journal, filled with information on monsters and demons, becomes a crucial resource for them throughout the series.
