Jake Talley

"Well, if it makes you feel any better, I went to sleep in Afghanistan"

- Jake to Sam

Jake Talley is a secondary main antagonist in the season 2 episode All Hell Breaks Loose - Parts 1 & 2 of Supernatural. This was the season 2 finale, in two parts, and Jake was one of the infamous Special Children whom Lucifer had ordered constructed so he could find a suitable vessel. Azazel was his henchman, and King of Hell when Lucifer was in his Cage. So, he ordered Azazel feed children his demon blood during their birthdays, provided there were no interruptions. On some occasions, the mother found out that she had a demon in her house, and Azazel killed her, often with the father and son escaping. Sam was one of those whose mother was murdered by the demon, and Jake was presumably one whose mother was not.

Sam knew of the Special Children from meeting two who were abusing their powers. However, once when he entered a diner, demons abducted him and he ended up miles away in the haunted demon possessed town of Cold Oak. Sam immediately adjusted to the situation, much to the admiration of Jake Talley, who also confessed he was scared too but didn't want to show it. Sam bonded with Jake, who was an African-American marine, who had been snatched from the Middle East to wind up in this weird backwoods town.

During the night, the demon Azazel paid Sam a dream visit, explaining why his mother was killed: because she broke her promise and interrupted Azazel, when she had previously promised she'd leave him be. In the morning, demons installed chaos in the Special Children, making them turn against each other. The demons made hallucinations and killed anyone who left the town. Then they managed to kill off all but three Children, Jake killed the girl who had just learned to control demons. Then Jake fled to the woods and hunted Sam in the forest. He eventually snuck up on Sam from behind just as he found Dean once more and shot Sam dead through the back.

Jake avoided Bobby and Dean's gunshots and fled to the woods. Then Jake met Azazel and he told him what to do. However, just as Jake opened the Devil's trap, Dean shot him dead.
