[edit] Biography
Ellen is the widow of hunter William Anthony Harvelle and the mother of Jo Harvelle. She knew John Winchester when he was still alive, and four months before his death she left a voice message for him offering help. The two had not spoken in some time due John's association with her husband's death.
Ellen runs Harvelle’s Roadhouse, a saloon frequented by hunters. When Sam and Dean Winchester arrive they find the place abandoned, except for a man who appears to have passed out on the pool table - Ash. Wary of strangers, Ellen holds Sam at gunpoint while Jo subdues Dean. Upon realizing that John is their father, Ellen tells the brothers that she thought she might have been able to help John with The Demon. Ellen offers them a room in the back where they could stay, but Dean declines the offer.
In the episode "Bloodlust," Sam asks Ellen if she had ever heard of a hunter named Gordon Walker. Ellen tells Sam that he is a good hunter but not to work with him. Later, in "Simon Said", when Ellen asks Sam and Dean to tell her more about the coming "war," Sam tells Ellen about The Demon and the children he has pursued.
In the episode "No Exit," it is revealed that her husband's death was the result of a mistake made by John Winchester while they were working together on a hunt.
In "Hunted," Sam goes to see Ellen at the roadhouse. She admits to Sam that her husband's death wasn't John's fault, and she forgave him a long time ago, but that John may have never forgiven himself. She also informs Sam that Jo has gone hunting by herself; Sam apologizes for this, but Ellen doesn't blame the brothers. Ellen later breaks a promise to Sam and tells Dean where he has gone, saying afterwards 'you can't protect your loved ones forever.'
