US Army member Jake Talley is plucked by Azazel from Afghanistan and placed in Cold Oak to compete with Azazel's other special children in All Hell Breaks Loose, Part 1 . After Ava Wilson's true intentions are revealed, he kills her with his superhuman strength to protect Sam, though he later kills Sam to save himself. As the only surviving contestant, he is then congratulated by Azazel in Part 2 . The demon orders him to take the Colt to a cemetery that is inside a gigantic devil's trap which prevents a demon from entering in order to open the gate to Hell hidden within. Jake refuses at first, though he reluctantly gives in when Azazel threatens to kill his family.Jake's personality then begins to become much darker as he gives in to his demonic side. Like Ava, this allows him to access other demonic abilities, and he enjoys using them against others. When he is later confronted by Sam, Dean, Bobby, and Ellen, he uses mind control to force Ellen to put a gun to her head and threatens to kill her if the others don't drop their weapons. They do so, allowing Jake to unlock the gate. However, after he completes the mission, he is shot to death by Sam. Show less «
