**Peter Hale** is a **Werewolf** and former **Alpha** of the **Hale Pack**, before the mantle was taken up by his nephew, Derek Hale. He is the younger brother of the late Alpha Talia Hale, the uncle of Laura, Derek, and Cora Hale, and the biological father of Malia Hale. He was also the Alpha who turned Scott McCall into a Werewolf, and who bit Lydia Martin and activated her latent Banshee powers.

Peter is a member of the **Hale Family**, and a former alpha, before becoming a member of the newly rebuilt **Hale Pack** after being a brief ally of the **McCall Pack**.

## Early Life

Born in 1976, Peter was the younger brother of his older sister, and heir to the Hale werewolf family; Talia. His sister was many years older than him, and his parents already had an heir when Peter was born, so he felt inadequate, and like he was a mistake on his parent's part. As a young child, Peter loved to sneak out, being unruly and hard to control, and would spend hours climbing a banyan tree on the preserve, which was the Nemeton, who formed somewhat of a connection to him, and one day, when he fell and hurt himself, and wasn't healing as fast, Peter was confined to his room, and in the middle of the night, looked out the window to see the Nemeton outside his window, the branches waving, like it was happy to see him.

When Talia became the alpha of the Hale Pack, following the death of their father, who had been the alpha previously, Peter felt pushed to the shadow as their mother was her Left Hand until she passed, which Peter didn't think would happen, so he ignored his training to become a Left Hand, and spent his time throwing himself into school sports, namely basketball. In high school Peter realized he was attracted to men as well as women, he snuck around in school, with a number of guys that were questioning themselves, and he even spent the night with Chris Argent, drunk, after a party in his senior year, despite the fact that Chris was six years older than him.

## History

He was among the nearly eleven members of the Hale Family that was trapped within the Hale House when it was set ablaze by hunters. The fire killed nearly everyone inside, with Peter and his niece Cora being the only ones to survive the blaze, aside from Derek and Laura, who were at school at the time; however, it came at a cost, with Peter sustaining severe burns to at least 75% of his body and was subsequently hospitalized in a long-term care facility to recover alone in a coma while Derek and Laura, not realizing he survived, fled to New York to hide from the hunters. For the next six years, Peter was cognizant but locked inside his body while it slowly healed his burns, the experience driving him insane, and ending up killing his niece, becoming an alpha, biting teenagers, before trying to steal powers from other supernaturals.

Peter slowly came out of his coma, regaining consciousness and through a series of events, including killing a buck in the woods, and etching the spiral of revenge on it's hide, to his nurse letting him out of the hospital on the full moon, Peter ended up luring his niece, and alpha Laura Hale back to Beacon Hills, where he found her on the full moon, which had been slowly healing him, and fueled with insanity and rage, he killed Laura, and took her alpha powers, severing her body in half. During his time as an Alpha, he bit and turned Scott McCall, turning him into a werewolf, while biting Lydia Martin, to activate her Banshee powers, before he was ultimately cornered and killed by Derek, who slashed his throat in order to become the next Hale alpha.

Over the course of the next few months, Peter used Lydia to resurrect him on the Worm Moon, due to their bond from him biting her, therefore latching a piece of his spirit onto her, making her hallucinate his younger self, drawing her to use everything she needed to resurrect Peter, using Derek's blood to bring him back to life. After gaining more power and healing from his resurrection, Peter became an ally of the Hale Pack in order to take down the Kanima and the hunters, ending up killing Jackson Whittemore alongside Derek, before the boy came back as a werewolf/kanima hybrid.

Over the next year and a half, Peter was a reluctant ally to both the Hale Pack and McCall Pack when Scott ascended to 'True Alpha' status, despite Scott being the target of a power siphoning spell that stole the Hale alpha power from Derek, who still possessed the power, but after draining nearly all of it to save his sister, Cora from dying of mistletoe poisoning, the power was slowly healing inside of Derek, only for it to be used with a spell to make Scott McCall an alpha, and call him a 'True Alpha' when in reality, he was stealing the power from a healing spark inside another alpha. Peter asked Conri if he should kill Scott to end the spell, and Conri told him not to, because Derek was losing his powers, and there wasn't a lot left for Scott to steal through the spell, so he instead gave Peter an egg-shaped locket, which would unlink whatever spell that had been placed on Scott to drain Derek's spark.

Peter did just that in Mexico, where he attacked Scott McCall, both to incapacitate him, and break the spell with the locket. He punched his face with the locket's brass metal, breaking the spell, which allowed Derek, who had previously evolved a few minutes earlier healed completely, while Peter was captured by the McCall Pack, and thrown into Eichen House, until he was broken out by Conri in the spring of 2012, and taken to the East Coast, and formally joined the Hale Pack.

In the summer of 2013, Peter went with Theo, Luke, and Conri to fight the hunters that were going on a global supernatural genocide crusade. The pack halted them from killing the werewolves, so that they wouldn't expand their reach to the pack house, where Derek and Conri's infant son, Eli was living, oblivious to the threat against his parent's lives. When he returned to the East Coast, Peter began working as a legal advisor, and though it took time, he eventually began a long-distance relationship with Noah Stilinksi.

## Personality

Peter was an intelligent, manipulative, and power hungry person, always looking for an advantage in life, regardless of which form it comes. He is very adept at reading people, and uses his knowledge of how people work to manipulate them into doing what he wants them to do. Due to growing up as the younger brother to the well-respected and powerful Alpha Talia Hale, Peter developed an inferiority complex that caused him to constantly strive for more power and a higher status, and he insisted that the Hale Pack needed to be stronger and more ruthless against the hunters. As it turned out, Peter's fears were not totally unfounded, as Talia's diplomatic approach to dealing with the hunters allowed them to be easily killed, proving that Talia should have listened to Peter's warnings about the hunters.

After the fire, Peter's thirst for revenge became so great that he planned on killing anyone who was even so much as remotely involved in the arson plot; to this end, he lured his own niece Laura to Beacon Hills and ended up killing her in order to become the Alpha himself. Peter claims that the killing of his niece was unintentional, as the fact that Peter was at the time driven by instinct, though he did purposefully lure Laura to Beacon Hills with the deer with the spiral etched into it's skin, so Peter could have been at least considering stealing Laura's Alpha power prior to her return to town, which indicates premeditation, or he could have wanted to gain her help in seeking his revenge and lost control when she rejected him.

After being resurrected as an exceptionally weakened Omega, Peter demonstrated his patient and scheming nature as he isn't against helping others when it suits him, but he will rarely do so without making a deal to gain something in return; it might be money, an object, a favor or information, but whatever it is, the payment he demands will always benefit him somehow. Peter is exceptionally observant, and always pays attention to those around him, carefully filing away details and secrets that are revealed by others in his presence in case they can help him gain an advantage later on.

Despite this, Peter genuinely cares for his remaining family, which consists of his niece, Cora, his nephew Derek, and his daughter Malia Hale. During the Alpha Pack attacks, Peter urgently attempted to warn his nephew against going through with his plan to rescue Cora and Boyd from the bank vault, and during the Deadpool assassinations, Peter was angry that his nephew and daughter were on the hit-list, even going so far as to pay a private investigator several thousand dollars to obtain adoption records that could cause Malia to be identified. Peter seems to consider Derek to be his favorite of his sister's children and routinely looked out for him, even if his intentions were also to look out for himself. He was also the first person to find out about Eli Hale's existence and went to his birth father, Conri Tlanta, for confirmation that it was true, because at the time, Conri was also on the Deadpool list from his time in Beacon Hills with the Alpha Pack, valuing him at 7 million dollars, which was the catalyst in Conri's choice to go to Beacon Hills and destroy the rest of the Deadpool assassins.

Peter has also shown that he has a very strategic mind, and will only go into a battle if he knows he can win it; he is always intent to gain as much information as he can before he engages in a confrontation to ensure that he's not risking his life, power, and safety unnecessarily. That said, Peter has also shown that he can be impulsive and short-sighted when he becomes desperate. Peter is also a very intelligent man who has spent his life learning about the supernatural, which also gives him a sort of power in the Beacon Hills supernatural community, as many people come to him for information regarding certain creatures. In part to his extensive knowledge base, it was Peter who taught Derek to learn control when the Hale Pack mantra failed to help him get through the full moons.

Peter's love for his daughter contributed to his redemption in the eyes of Scott McCall and despite Malia telling him to run for his life, Peter elected to stay and help his daughter and the other McCall Pack members fight off the Hunters in Tamora Monroe and Gerard Argent's Army. His worst fear was something bad happening to Malia, as shown when the Anuk-ite mimicked Malia's voice to get Peter to look at it, which ultimately failed, due to the vision removal ring Danae Tlanta had given him, Peter attacked it, only to be chased by hunters, before he took off the ring, and killed all of the hunters.

## Physical Appearance

Peter is a handsome, muscular man of medium stature with dark blonde, almost caramel brown hair, bright blue eyes, and lightly tanned skin, that is rough around the edges, and has the Hale Pack symbol tattooed on his left shoulder, to signify his place within the pack as the alpha's left hand, while Conri Tlanta has the tattoo on his right shoulder, as the right hand, and Derek has it in the middle of his back as the alpha.

He's a sophisticated man who often wears well-tailored jeans and blazers with henley's or v-neck t-shirts, the latter of which has gained him the nickname "Satan in a V-Neck." Most often given by Lydia, and was adopted by Malia. Peter often has a goatee or facial scruff and has taken to wearing his hair smoothed back in an elegant style, but he is a mess in the morning, with crazy hair that is never tamed, leading to Conri keeping a comb and some gel in the den bathroom, for Peter in the morning.

He appears to be in his mid-late 30s due to Werewolf longevity, and it specifically being stated by Malia that he was 37 years old, which she told Diana and Danae when they asked, as Danae was in a friends with benefits relationship with Peter for awhile, and wanted to know how old he actually was, so she didn't feel bad about sleeping with him if he was younger than Diana.

## Powers and Abilities

Werewolf **Physiology:** Peter possesses the common powers of an Omega-level Werewolf. After his resurrection, Peter's powers were weakened for several months, but after over a season, he managed to regain an exceptional amount of power even by Omega standards. After joining the Hale Pack, his powers were greatly improved, and he grew stronger.

* **Super strength:** Peter' strength is such that he shattered the surface of a stone support column in the Hale Vault with a backhand and was able to knock out a Beta-level Werewolf in one punch, a fact that even Derek found shocking.
* **Super Speed:** Peter is and has even appeared out of nowhere at times; during his time as a captive of the Wild Hunt, Peter startled Stiles by appearing next to him when seconds earlier, he was a fair distance away.
* **Super Durability:** Peter is much more durable and resistant to blunt force trauma than the average Werewolf, as evidenced numerous times, including his battles with the the twins at the hospital, surviving a Wolfsbane-laced tomahawk to his chest, and surviving severe, full-body burns on three separate occasions.

* **Super Senses:** Peter' senses are very acute. This ability also allows him to discern the emotional state of others by interpreting the chemo-signals in their scents. Additionally, Peter has a very heightened sense of hearing, granting him the ability to hear whispered conversations from hundreds of feet away, sense approaching enemies, and, with some degree of accuracy, determine truth from lie by listening to a person's heartbeat while they talk. After his resurrection, his hearing ability was one of the few senses that was not temporarily diminished.
* **Healing:** Peter's healing ability is strong even after supposedly becoming impaired as it has allowed him to reattach a severed digit and recover from a Wolfsbane-coated tomahawk being embedded in his chest. After becoming an Alpha, he was able to consciously heal his burns in moments, though his healing ability is no longer this strong.
* **Shapeshifting:** Like all Werewolves, Peter has the ability to shapeshift his features into those of a wolf; when he was an Alpha, he was able to transform into a monstrous, bestial wolf, though this ability has since been lost. Even now, as an Omega, Peter's Werewolf form is much more monstrous than most, as his eye sockets become hollow and darkened, and his skin becomes gray, similar to the appearance of Deucalion's wolf form. Peter's fangs are so large that they impair his speech.
* **Memory Manipulation:** Peter is adept at using his ability to view the memories of another person by piercing the back of their neck with his claws and entering their mind. However, this process is typically only performed by Alphas, due to the amount of control and practice it takes to do it without causing paralysis or death to the person whose mind they're entering. For this reason, this ability is also usually only used on supernaturals with accelerated healing abilities, since they can recover from the trauma much faster and easier than a human.

### Former Powers

The following are powers Peter possessed as an Alpha that he lost after being killed by Derek Hale and subsequently resurrected a month later.

* **Power Granting:** As an Alpha Werewolf, Peter used to have the ability to turn humans into Beta/Omega Werewolves. He used this ability to turn Scott McCall and to attempt to turn Lydia Martin through the Bite, though her Banshee powers gave her an immunity to the Bite's transformative properties. This power also extended to the ability to turn humans with an especially deep scratch.
* **Alpha Roar:** As an Alpha Werewolf, Peter used to have the ability to use his roar as an offensive weapon to scare away supernatural creatures of a lower rank or to force a were-creature in or out of a transformation.
* **Healing Disruption:** As an Alpha Werewolf, Peter used to have the ability to cause wounds in Beta or Omega-level werecreatures that partially disrupted their regenerative abilities and thus caused them to take longer to heal than normal.
* **Beast Alpha Form**: As an Alpha Werewolf, Peter used to have the ability to transform into a large, monstrous wolf-like beast with black fur, crimson glowing eyes, and large claws and fangs. In his beast form, Peter could run on all fours or walk on two legs, depending on the task at hand.

### Abilities

* **Supernatural Knowledge:** Having been raised in the supernatural world his entire life, Peter has an enormous amount of knowledge regarding supernatural species and mythological creatures. He demonstrated a thorough understanding of Kanimas, Berserkers, Kitsune and Ghost Riders, along with detailed information on obscure Werewolf rituals, history, and customs.
* **Advanced Combat Skills**: Peter has shown himself to be an expert fighter, utilizing his supernatural abilities with what appears to be a formal fighting style, though he can also go feral in his fighting when the situation calls for it.
* **Skilled Manipulator**: Peter is extremely good at manipulating others into doing as he wants, due in part to his highly-attuned ability to read people and understand their motivations. He knows exactly when to play nice and pretends to be an ally and when to finally reveal his true plans.
* **Skilled Tactician**: Peter has an exceptional ability to plan his schemes in advance, which, when paired with his patience and ability to keep his plans close to the vest, allows him to fly under the radar without anyone knowing what he's up to.

## Weaknesses

Peter possesses the standard weaknesses of an Omega-level Werewolf, including;

* Wolfsbane
* Mountain ash
* Letharia Vulpina or "wolf lichen,"
* Electricity
* The full moon and supermoon, though, as an older born Werewolf with decades of experience, Peter has not struggled with the moon's effects since before his brief stint as an Alpha.
* Peter, like all werecreatures, is also vulnerable to the effects of the lunar eclipse, which will cause him to lose his powers for as long as the moon is in the earth's umbral shadow.

### Former Weaknesses

* **Side Effects of Resurrection**: After being resurrected, Peter's superhuman physical powers were significantly diminished, forcing him to ally himself with his nephew's new pack in order to survive long enough to recuperate and recover his powers. He has since demonstrated heightened strength, speed, agility, durability, etc., indicating that he has overcome this weakness.

## Etymology

* **Peter**: The name Peter is an English variant of the Greek Πετρος (*Petros*), meaning "stone" or "rock." According to the New Testament, Jesus gave Saint Peter (whose given name was Simon Bar-Jona) the name *Kephas* or *Cephas*, meaning "stone" in Aramaic. Saint Peter then became one of the most prominent of the apostles in Jesus' ministry, and is often considered the first pope by Roman Catholics. Peter became a common name in the Christian world as a result of this history, and in England, it was introduced by the Normans in the Old French form of the name, *Piers*, which was gradually replaced by the name Peter starting in the 15th century.
* **Hale**: The surname Hale originates as a geographical locality, "at the hale," i.e. "hall" (either as a proprietor or servant at a residence there). It is also derived from the Old English *healh*, meaning "nook" or "hollow." In northern England, the name often has a specialized meaning, either denoting a piece of flat alluvial land by the side of a river, or as a patch of dry land in a fen.
