Derek Hale

Derek Hale is one of the two tritagonists (alongside Malia Tate) of the television series Teen Wolf and the tritagonist of its film sequel, Teen Wolf: The Movie. He is the mentor and close friend of Scott McCall, a younger, bitten werewolf who Derek formed a strong brotherly relationship with.
Derek is the former Alpha of the Hale Pack and a member of the McCall Pack, the only son of Talia Hale, the brother of Laura and Cora Hale, the nephew of Peter Hale, the biological paternal cousin of Malia Tate, and the father of Eli Hale.
He is portrayed by Tyler Hoechlin, who also portrayed Superman/Clark Kent in both the Arrowverse and Superman and Bizarro from Superman & Lois.
==Background==
After teaching Scott how to control his powers and  Peter killing every conspirator involved in the fire, Derek killed him to avenge his sister and steal his status as an Alpha werewolf. Derek then started to create his own pack, recruiting his own beta werewolves - Erica Reyes, Isaac Lahey, Jackson Whittemore and Vernon Boyd - to ward off the Alpha Pack. He tried recruiting Scott into the pack but this never worked. However, the newly formed Pack had to  help Scott and Stiles deal with Gerard and the Kanima first.
Unfortunately Erica and Boyd were later captured by the Alpha Pick as well as Cora, Derek's thought to be dead sister. He was once again joined by Scott and Stiles dealing with the Pack and the human sacrifices being  committed by Derek's then-girlfriend Jennifer Blake. Soon they learned that the Alpha pack wanted to recruit not just Derek but his protege Scott as well. However, to save Cora's life after she was poisoned with mistletoe by the Darach, Derek gave up his Alpha spark to save her. Now more compassionate without his powers, he became a more helpful mentor to Scott and the McCall Pack.
==History==
===Early History===
In 2005, Derek began a love affair with Kate Argent, who was secretly a werewolf hunter who started the affair only to learn information about the Hale family. When Derek and Laura are at school, Kate and her conspirators burned down the Hale house, killing Talia, and ten people died in the fire, but Peter and Cora survived the incident. Peter's body was covered in burns, causing him to fall into a coma for years until his wounds healed. Cora, believing that the family had all died, fled to South America. Meanwhile, Derek felt great remorse for the incident and was ashamed to tell his living family that he was the reason why the Argents were able to attack them so easily. Derek and Laura fled to New York City and lived there peacefully for six years.
in 2011, Derek and Laura heard about recent and horrendous animal attacks in Beacon Hills. One of the incidents involved a deer with a spiral burned on its carcass, and the sign symbolizes the werewolves' revenge. Laura never returned, so Derek followed her. Upon his return, he found Laura was dead, having been killed by an unnamed werewolf and dismembered by the Argent hunters to prevent her from being revived.
===Season 1===
When Derek found two teenagers, Scott McCall and Stiles Stilinski, in the woods near the ruins of his former home, he wanted to know what they were doing there. After getting no solid answer, he gave Scott his inhaler and later sensed that McCall had been bitten by a werewolf. That Friday night, Derek spied on Scott from a distance. When the younger werewolf began having side effects of his first full moon, Derek drove Allison home, claiming to be a friend of Scott's. He stole her jacket and lured Scott into the woods by leaving it there. Suddenly, hunters led Chris Argent, who shot Scott in the arm. However, Derek helped the younger Beta, and the two escaped. Scott accused Derek of being the one who turned him into a werewolf, but Derek didn't correct Scott's accusation at first. Because of their shared status as werewolves, Derek told Scott that they were brothers' lycanthropy before leaving in the woods.
After seeing Scott shift during a lacrosse game, Derek went into Scott's house in fear of him getting caught and alerting the Argents of his presence. He threatened to kill him if he went out to play. Later, Derek returned Allison's jacket to her (Anonymously) as a warning. Derek also took his sister's body and buried her under a Wolfsbane vendetta spiral. Later, Scott went to Derek's house to confront him, taking the older werewolf to leave Allison alone. Derek warned him again that everything would fall apart when the people Scott loved if he transformed into a werewolf. The next day, Derek was arrested under suspicion of murder by the Beacon County Sheriff's Station when Stiles and Scott found the grave and Laura's body. When Stiles went to question Derek about his sister, Derek told Stiles that he could convince Scott not to play. Derek was released on a technicality when the medical examiner identified the hair found on Laura to be a wolf. Derek, who watched the game from afar, saw Jackson inspecting Scott's lacrosse glove and finding his claws.

===Season 3===
===Season 4===
===Season 6===
As of Season 6b, Derek was on the run from the FBI, which his friend Stiles learned about. However, during one of the FBI operations he found Stiles and carried him out to safety when the operation was botched. Derek was later found by Chris Argent, who was desperately trying to find others to help their friends, Scott and his pack.
After learning Kate was planning on Poisoning Scott with a yellow wolfsbane bullet, Derek returned to Beacon Hills to help Scott. There, he was happily reunited with Scott and helped his friends fight off Tamora Monroe, Gerard Argent, and the Anukite. Unfortunately, Scott had been wounded by a yellow wolfsbane bullet and this required Derek to burn it out of his system. Half-carrying Scott to the science room, Derek burns the yellow wolfsbane out of Scott's wound. Knowing Scott is safe, Derek left him on the floor. He was unfortunately turned to stone by the Anuk-ite when it transformed into Jennifer Blake. However, Derek was saved when Scott blinded himself and fought the Anukite as Stiles killed it, restoring Derek. Two years into the future, Derek still rolled with the McCall pack.
