** Gordon Walker. A good portion of his debut episode (Season 2's "Bloodlust") hunting a vampire named Lenore, and when he finally captures her, he ties her up and poisons her with dead man's blood. When Sam and Dean walk in on him doing so, he tells them he was planning to cut off a few of her fingers and asks if they want to help. Needless to say, both of them are quite disturbed, to say the least.
