(Jensen Ackles)

Born and raised a Christian in a poor neighbourhood of Brooklyn, Scott Jacobs planned to follow childhood sweetheart Jennifer to university and whatever life lay beyond, but when his father fell ill with lung cancer Scott was forced to cut his dreams short and return home. His father lasted another four months, after which Scott decided to do something with his life - so he joined the NYPD.

Scott ended up working homicide, which wasn't really as worthwhile as it seemed - most of the time he just ended up cleaning up the mess when some poor SOB lost it, but he still liked his job and was dedicated to it. When he meets Rachel, however, neither of them realise just how much that chance encounter is about to change their lives forever!
