Growing Up

Dean was four years old when their mother was killed. On his fathers orders, he took baby Sam and ran from the house, without having seen exactly what was happening. From that time onwards, he followed his fathers instructions, learning to fight demons and protect Sammy. When he was around 6 or 7 years old, he learnt to shoot, with his father training him by using bottles for target practise. He bullseyed every one of them.

When Dean was 10 years old, Sam was attacked by a Shtriga while they were in a motel in Wisconsin. Dean was supposed to have been looking after him, but had left him alone. Luckily John appeared in time to save Sam, but Dean carried the guilt with him for a long time. By the time Dean was 16 years old, John was taking him along on hunts.

Falling In Love

While on a job with his Dad, he met a young woman named Cassie Robinson. She was a student in Athens, Ohio, and the two had a relationship. Despite wanting to keep the "family secret", Dean relevealed the truth about what he did for a living. Cassie was unable to handle the fact that her boyfriend "pops ghosts for a living" and the two broke up.

Dying and Living

When Dean accidentally electrocuted himself, he was given only weeks to live by the doctors. Despite this, Sam searched for a way out and took Dean to see a faith healer. Although the faith healer was not actually one (he was channeling a reaper), Dean was still returned to full health. He still feels that he shouldn't have been allowed to live, as his recovery left another man dead. A few months later, he almost died after the car crash that The Demon caused. He was in a coma and encountered a reaper who informed him it was his time. He refused to go, and at the last moment, John gave his life in exchange for Dean's, yet again leaving Dean with severe feelings of guilt.

According to police records, Dean Winchester was assumed dead due to the shapeshifter who died while disguised as him. However, his recent arrest for a murder (which he didn't commit) has led the police to change their assumptions about his current status.

The Deal

When Sam was killed, it broke Dean. He did the one thing he could to get his brother back - he offered his soul in a deal with a Crossroads Demon. The deal gave him Sam back, but gave him only a year to live. The caveat was that if they tried to break the deal in any way, Sam would die instantly. While Sam wants to look for a way out of the deal, Dean refuses. He is tired of the life he lives and is almost looking forward to being able to give it up.

The Car

The greatest love of Dean's life is his car, his black 1967 Chevy Impala, which has a weapons locker in the boot, most of his possessions on the backseat and a box full of classic rock tapes in the glove compartment. When the car was smashed up, he spent weeks rebuilding it until it looked as good as new.
