**The familial relationship between Hunter Chris Argent and former Hunter-turned-Werejaguar Kate Argent**

Chris and Kate both grew up in the Hunter lifestyle and were trained to fight and, if necessary, kill, supernatural creatures from a very young age. However, though the two seemed to have a close relationship, the two ultimately developed two very different philosophies when it came to their family legacy; Chris became a devout follower of the original Hunter Code ("We hunt those who hunt us"), while Kate developed the same way of thinking as their father Gerard Argent, which meant only following the Code when it was convenient for them. Unbeknownst to Argent, Kate had orchestrated the Hale House Fire that killed nearly every member of the Hale Family of Werewolves during the first period of time where the Argents were living in Beacon Hills, California; he instead assumed that it was an accident whose blame was placed on their family due to their role as Hunters.

The two did not see each other for a few years up until January 2011, when Kate returned to Beacon Hills several weeks after Argent, his wife Victoria, and their daughter Allison moved there, as they had heard that Laura and Derek Hale had also returned after six years on the run. Though Chris and Kate worked closely together in their plan to apprehend Derek and the other Beta Werewolf who had been turned by a powerful new Alpha, tensions mounted between them when Chris realized Kate's lack of devotion to the Code.

Upon learning that it was, in fact, Kate who caused the Hale House Fire, he became furious with her and stopped her from killing Scott McCall, the new Beta, reminding her that they do not kill teenagers unless they have absolute proof that they spilled innocent human blood. Despite his anger towards her, Chris was still devastated when she was killed by the Alpha, Peter Hale, and mourned her loss as their father, Gerard Argent, returned to Beacon Hills to spearhead a more brutal assault on the town's supernatural community. He continued to believe that she was truly dead throughout Season 2 and Season 3 of the series, not knowing that Peter's claws had sliced her throat so deeply that she had transformed into a Werejaguar and went on the run from the Calavera Family of Hunters.

At the end of Season 3, Derek Hale, now Argent's ally, brought him a shotgun shell casing that had the Argent *fleur-de-lis* stamped on it, causing him to realize that Kate really was alive. In Season 4, Chris reunited with Kate for the first time since her "death," with Scott and Chris approaching her in the then-abandoned Argent Arms International and being badly wounded by the Berserkers under her control. Though the two remained at an impasse for some time, Chris could no longer support her when he learned she had transformed Scott into a Berserker in hopes that his pack (the same pack with which Chris was an ally) would kill him, Chris stated that he was done saving her and reminded her that Allison, who Kate was attempting to avenge, would never have supported what she was doing. He shot her with a yellow wolfsbane bullet, forcing her to go on the run and heal herself.

The two did not see each other again until Season 6, when Kate attempted to once again kill Scott in hopes of returning to the family, this time with the same kind of yellow wolfsbane bullet that Chris used on her a year earlier. However, when it became clear that Gerard was never going to accept her (especially after he used one of the bullets meant for Scott to shoot her), she took Argent's side and presumably mauled Gerard to death, seemingly with Argent' blessing.

In *Magic Bullet*, after Kate was nearly attacked by the new Alpha Werewolf in town (whose identity was unknown), she called her brother, Argent, to come help her out in case the Alpha was still lurking around. When Argent' daughter, Allison, asked him where he was going, Chris lied and said that Kate was having "car trouble" and assured her she had nothing to worry about. Right before Chris got to where she pulled over, she got out her sniper rifle and shot a bullet laced with Nordic Blue Monkshood at what she believed to be the Alpha's Beta, Derek Hale, though she also did not know who he was at the time, either.
Upon Argent' arrival, he immediately ordered her to get in his car; when Kate made a snarky comment about his lack of greeting, he simply chastised his sister for shooting at a target in such a public area where someone could see her. Kate put away the gun as she was asked before informing her brother that there were two Werewolves out that night-- one Alpha, and one Beta. Argent, realizing that Kate had shot the Beta, reminded her that he would be unable to lead them to the Alpha if he died from the poison, but Kate retorted that the Werewolf tried to kill her, and she would be unable to help kill either of them if she died first. Not realizing that Scott McCall, the newest Beta and the first person turned in Beacon Hills by the new Alpha, was listening in, having been unconsciously drawn to the scene by his Alpha's howl, Kate informed Chris that the shot Werewolf had around 48 hours before the Wolfsbane killed him.
The next day, after the quickly-weakening Derek came to Scott and his best friend, the human Stiles Stilinski, for help in curing him of his poisoning, Scott was resigned to having a study date with his new girlfriend Allison at the Argent House while also searching for a bullet in Kate's collection with the same strain of Wolfsbane to save his life. Allison and Scott were in the Argent's armory-garage, looking at Allison's compound bow and making out with each other, when suddenly, Chris and Kate returned home from the grocery store. They both caught the two lovebirds trying to hide behind the SUV, where a reluctant Chris asked them if they could help carry in the groceries.
Afterward, Chris attempted to send Scott back to his own home, but Kate, endeared by Scott's "brown puppy eyes" and wanting to help her niece with her romantic endeavors, argued that Allison and Scott were "making out in the garage, not shooting amateur porn," before insisting that Scott would be staying for dinner so they could get to know him better.
During the family dinner, which also included Argent's wife, Victoria, Chris attempted to test Scott by offering him beer and tequila to see how he would respond; when Scott reminded them that he was too young to drink, Kate remarked that he was totally lying, but that his good answer may just help him survive the rest of the evening. Chris and Kate then turned the topic of conversation to Scott's lacrosse team and how the sport was played, though Chris was not as enthusiastic about it as Kate was. When Victoria brought up that Scott worked for Alan Deaton, the local veterinarian, Chris took the opportunity to bring up the case of a "rabid dog" he encountered as a child and phrase it in a way that it was obvious he was talking about Werewolves to see how he would respond, going so far as to add, "Something that out-of-control is better off dead."
Scott, now terrified, excused himself by stating he needed to use the restroom, Scott wandered around the upstairs in hopes of finding Kate's room, setting off an alarm to a locked room in the process and forcing Kate to show him to the right bathroom, which just so happened to be in the guest room where she was staying. Once he finally found the bullet he needed, he tried to make a quick exit from the dinner, and nearly succeeded until he was about to be walked to his bike by Allison, where Kate stopped him and began interrogating him about the fact that her bag was open and it was obvious someone was rifling around in it. Chris joined Kate in her questioning, but just before they were going to have Scott turn out his pockets, Allison interjected that it was actually her who went through Kate's bag, and pulled out a condom Kate had packed, stunning both Chris and Kate into silence and allowing Scott to escape the house with the bullet.
Later that evening, Chris and Kate gathered in the living room to discuss their current Hunter situation. Kate explained that the first Werewolf who attacked her was big, with width and power, and that the second one was lean and fast. Chris guessed that the latter was Derek Hale, but when she asked him if he was sure about that, Chris admitted he was "mostly" sure. Kate went on to ask how they knew it was just two of them, but Chris pointed out that if Derek was still alive despite the Wolfsbane poisoning, then he would be able to lead them to the Alpha. Kate became excited at the prospect of taking out the entire pack via the pack leader, but Chris reminded her that they needed to do it according to the Code, much to Kate's displeasure. After Chris reiterated that the Code existed for a reason, Kate assured him that she knew it and that she always plays by the rules; however, she lit a match against the fireplace and held it up, implying that she had a role in the Hale House Fire.
In *The Tell*, Kate went to the Hale House ruins to ambush Derek Hale with two of her fellow Hunters. One of the Hunters reminded Kate that Chris wanted them to wait, to which Kate rolled her eyes and muttered, "So I've been reminded... to *death*." The Hunter went on to remind Kate that this meant they were not allowed to kill Derek, leading Kate to smile and retort that this did not mean they couldn't stop by and say "hello."
Kate and the Hunters then approached the front porch, and when Derek did not immediately go outside to greet them, they began swapping jokes about Werewolves being "dogs" and misogynistic slurs against Derek's recently-deceased sister Laura Hale. When this continued to not elicit a reaction, they burst into the house to confront Derek directly, with Kate using her high-voltage taser wand to incapacitate him so they could talk. Kate got to the point of her visit-- they wanted to know the identity of the Alpha. She revealed that the Argents were not responsible for Laura's death, noting that she was covered in bite marks before they cut her body in half to ensure she wouldn't heal and resurrect herself.
Believing this would make Derek more cooperative, Kate made Derek an offer-- if he revealed who the Alpha was, then she and the other Argents would hunt and kill him for Derek so that he wouldn't have to go through the trouble himself, thereby eliminating someone who was an enemy to them both. However, when it became clear that Derek had no idea who the Alpha was, she declared him useless and began shooting at him with her gun, forcing him to flee the house into the woods to get away from them. Though Derek was not seriously harmed in the scuffle, Kate still went against Argent's orders, as he wanted to use Derek to get to the Alpha.

In *Omega*, Argent, along with his wife, Victoria, and his daughter, Allison, attended Kate's funeral at the Beacon Hills Cemetery. Joining them at the funeral was Chris and Kate's father, Gerard Argent, whom Allison had not seen since she was three years old and Chris was not exactly pleased to see.

That night, Chris and Gerard went hunting in the Beacon Hills Preserve, where they managed to catch an Omega Werewolf, also known as a "lone wolf," or a wolf without a pack, whom Scott McCall was chasing down in hopes of getting answers about why he was there. Derek Hale, now the Alpha of Beacon Hills, caught Scott and prevented him from being caught as well, and made him watch what Gerard was about to do as proof that he needed to join his pack. After Gerard bisected and killed the Omega with his broadsword, Argent, unhappy, reminded him of the Hunter Code, which states that they only hunt those Werewolves who hunt humans. However, Gerard argued that since Werewolves killed his daughter, Kate, they would not be using the Code any longer, and would be killing all of them regardless of whether they are innocent or guilty.

In *Fireflies*, when Scott McCall approached Argent Argent during the full moon in hopes of gaining his assistance in catching the feral Vernon Boyd and Cora Hale, who were running on pure instinct throughout Beacon Hills due to being starved of the moon for four months. Chris brought up his sister Kate, as well as his wife Victoria and his father Gerard, as he believed that losing them was a result of his involvement in the supernatural, and made it clear he didn't want to decimate his family more than absolutely necessary. However, after finding one of the Darach's human sacrifice victims, Chris changed his mind and became an ally to the McCall Pack and the Hale Pack.

In *Insatiable*, after being called to the loft by his now-ally Derek Hale, who had found the twins Ethan and Aiden having been shot by Wolfsbane-laced bullets in the woods, Chris asked him if he knew who was responsible for the shooting. Derek pulled out a shotgun shell casing and handed it to Argent, who, seeing the symbol stamped on it, immediately whispered that this couldn't be possible; it wasn't learned until later that the symbol on the shell casing was the Argent Family *fleur-de-lis*, revealing that Kate had been brought back to life.
