Jake Talley

**Jake Talley** was one of the special children who participated in the 66th Hunger Games and was employed by the Sisters of Istehar to actively hunt down unwilling special children. He possessed **Sense Stealer**, the hereditary power of the Shax Clan.

He was killed by Sam Winchester and was the last special child from the United States to be killed.

## Appearance

Jake was an African-American man with a large and muscular body, buzz-cut hair and a mustache. He wore a locket with the picture of his mother and younger sister inside it.

## Personality

Not much was known about Jake's true personality as by the time he appeared, his demonic power had already corrupted him fully, turning him into a cruel and cold-hearted killer who had no problems with killing other people under the Seven Sister's command,

However, despite everything, he still possessed a love and protectiveness over his family, especially over his younger sister Lynn. As he died, he expressed true regret and remorse of his actions, and only asked that Sam wouldn't go after his family as revenge.

## History

Jake was born to an unnamed woman sometime in the late 1990s, and was regularly fed Lilith's blood by the Sisters of Istehar in secret every night until he reached puberty. When he was 5, his father left him, his mother, and his younger sister Lynn for another woman.

As a young adult, he joined the U.S. Army and became a soldier serving in Afghanistan. His demonic power presumably manifested during his time there, as he regularly got headaches while his physical capabilities became greater to the point of abnormality. On one occasion, a Jeep rolled over a soldier and Jake lifted it off him, though he and many thought it was a fluke of adrenaline. He later became able to bench-press over 300 kg without breaking a sweat or even make people fly and break their bones during combat training.

After returning from the army, he was sought out by **Kothold**, one of the Seven Sisters, and asked him to join their side and kill the unwilling special children in exchange for keeping his family safe and wealthy. When her deals turned into threats, he accepted it to save his mother and sister, and was summoned to the Phlegraean Fields later than others due to “private training sessions”.

## Abilities

**Demonic Power**: As a special child, Jake possessed demonic power and all the standard powers and abilities commonly attributed to that of a cambion, including the ability to cast spells and perform all forms of magic without a magic circle.
