Argent Family

The Argents are major antagonists turned protagonists in the television series Teen Wolf. They are supernatural hunters who specialize in hunting down werewolves. 
==History==
the Argents, were knowledgeable on how to survive a werewolf attack instead of hunting them. He was married to a woman and had four children with her. However, Madame Argent and their four children were killed and Henri only survived. One night, he came across the innkeeper's son, Emile. After the boy died, Henri took him to the tavern with the body of a young boy in his arms, Henri explained that Emile was attacked and that his last words were "La Bête." Even though she did not believe in the supernatural, Marie agreed to lead a hunting party after the Beast. Henri thought she was a fool to believe this.
When Marie-Jeanne went to confront the Beast, she was afraid to learn that the "Wolf" was actually a werewolf. Running in terror after being wounded by it, Henri used mountain ash against the creature so it could not reach them.
He took Marie-Valet to his cabin, where he healed her wound. He offered to hel her survive the werewolf; however, she wanted to know how to kill one in order to save their village. Henri joined her on in the quest to kill it. They laced alcoholic drinks with mistletoe, which was what all werewolves were allergic to. She, at first, believed Marcel was the Demon Wolf after he told her to look in the cellar, where Marie found a slaughter of men, women, and children. However, her theory of Marcel being the demon wolf was proven wrong when she noticed the wound she inflicted on him had not yet healed. Marie realized that Marcel couldn't be the Beast but was rather just covering for him. Instead it was her brother.
Not letting her brother intimidate her into silence, Marie quickly ran to Henry's cabin, where she revealed her discovery and how she needed his help to kill her brother before he hurt any more innocents. He suggested that they needed something that would use the Beast's size and weight, deciding on a pike. Valet and Argent created a tip mixed with wolfsbane and mountain Ash, which was made into the shape of a fleur-de-lis. After it cooled, Marie merged the sphere in her own blood under the light of a full moon. After three years of hunting her brother down, Marie-Jeanne was successful in using the pike to kill Sebastien and swore to erase their anme from the history books so no one would ever know his name.
Henri helped gather everything that Sebastien signed and burned it with the rest of the village. As his partnership with Marie-Jeanne persisted, Henri and Marie-Jeanne fell in love and began a romantic relationship. The two married, with Marie-Jeanne taking his last name to disconnect herself from her brother and became the ancestors of a long line of supernatural hunters. Because Marie Jeanne killed the beast, she is presumably the reason why the Argents were a matriarchy.

While her Brother went to fight in the Three Years' War, Marie stayed at home. Marie-Jeanne often visited a local tavern, where she befriended the owner, Rene. He saw her reading a letter from her brother, who was fighting during the Seven Years' War in North America. Rene assured Marie-Jeanne that one day, Sebastien would return. From the next table over, Marie-Jeanne overheard guests, including the Magistrate, Monsieur Tolbert. They were discussing La Bête; a dangerous beast that began killing and terrorizing the entire countryside with many conflicting sources of what it looked like. Tolbert told the patrons at the end that until the king sent his best men to hunt the creature, it was up to the villagers to create their own. At that moment, Sebastien had returned from his war with his companion, Marcel, claiming his sister was the best huntress in the village. Marie-Jeanne was happily reunited with him and embraced Sebastien. Once their tearful reunion was over, Tolbert approached Marie-Jeanne and asked if she was willing to lead their hunting party, to which she laughed and replied that she hunted animals, not rumors. She joined Henri Argent in hunting down the Beast as she wanted to know how to kill them.

He later forced Scott McCall into doing his bidding by threatening to kill his mother Melissa and his own granddaughter, as well as the false promise that he and Allison Argent could be together if he helped him. However, Scott figured out that Gerard had cancer due to smelling the chemo signals coming off of the hunter after smelling something similar from a dog being treated by Alan Deaton. Gerard also took advantage of his granddaughter's grief for her mother and turned her into a ruthless hunter like Kate. During the night Matt held Scott, Stiles , Derek, Noah and Melissa hostage, Scott switched Gerard's cancer pills with mountain ash capsules so that when Derek gave Gerard the Bite, he would get an allergic reaction from it.
