Contents
History
Samuel Colt is a hunter and the creator of the Colt—a gun that can kill nearly any supernatural being.[1] He also designed the locked door to keep the portal to Hell known as the Devil's Gate from opening. The Devil's Gate and the Colt gun are linked together, the gun serves as the key to Colt's Crypt, allowing it to be opened by inserting the Colt's muzzle into the keyhole. He built a railroad of iron in the shape of a pentagram, with a church at each of the points, around the Devil's Gate to further ensure that it was demon-proof.[2]
Episodes
6.18 Frontierland
Looking for clues on how to kill Eve, Sam, Dean and Bobby search the Campbell Compound, where they learn that the ashes of a phoenix may kill her. Dean finds Samuel Colt's Journal which describes the death of a phoenix back in March 5, 1861 in Sunrise, Wyoming.
Sam and Dean get Castiel to send them back to March 4, 1861. At the time, Samuel Colt has finished laying out the iron rail tracks to build the pentagram surrounding Fossil Butte Cemetery and is living as a recluse — although he is still hunted by demons. He accepts the fact of Sam being from the future with equanimity, but refuses to go with him. Colt does give Sam the Colt, which Dean uses to kill Elias Finch — the phoenix.
When Sam and Dean are pulled back to the present day without the ashes, they think the cause is lost, but then a courier arrives. He delivers a package to Sam sent 150 years ago by Samuel Colt. It contains Sam's phone and a bottle containing the ashes of the phoenix.
