John Winchester was Sam and Dean's father, and son of Henry Winchester. Born in Normal, Illinois, he was four when his father disappeared. John thought Henry had simply left, not knowing that his father was one of the Men of Letters and that he had fled through time to escape the demon Abaddon. Had Henry not left, John would've been been initiated into Men of Letters.

Nothing is known of John's mother, but he moved at some point to Lawrence, Kansas. After returning from the Vietnam War from where he served as a marine, John worked as a mechanic and was eventually co-owner (with Mike Guenther) of a garage. He described himself as "a mechanic from a family of mechanics".

John and Mary Campbell did not initially get along when they met. However Heaven was interested in bringing together the lines of hunters and Men of Letters, and so Cupid intervened and they fell in love.

When Mary died in 1983, John raised their two sons, Sam and Dean, alone. Due to the nature of her death, John sought revenge, taking up the occupation and lifestyle of a hunter, which created a unique childhood for his two young sons. John moved his family from town to town following leads on supernatural creatures.

In 1990, unbeknownst to Sam and Dean, John fathered a child with nurse Kate Milligan. Though Adam Milligan didn't meet John until he was 12 years old, John had sporadic contact with Adam from 2002 until John's death in 2006. As John raised Sam and Dean in a very militant and non-conventional environment, it seemed he used his time with Adam to do more traditional father-son activities, such as going to a baseball game, that he either couldn't or wouldn't do with his older two sons.

He eventually reunited with Sam and Dean in order to obtain the Colt. As they got closer to Azazel, John was kidnapped by the demon Meg, and possessed by Azazel. However Sam was unable to kill his father with the Colt in order to kill Azazel.

Following a car crash caused by a demon, John offered his own life and the Colt to save Dean. John revealed that he has known the "truth" about Sam all along. Before he died, John warned Dean that he may have to kill Sam.

John Winchester died and went to Hell where over the next year he was tortured by Alastair, who later told Dean that John never "broke"  

In 2007, the gate to hell is opened by Jake Talley and John's spirit escapes, helping Dean to kill Azazel.
