Kate, devastated that she had lost her father's love and trust, mauled him to death, seemingly with her brother's blessing

**The father-daughter relationship between Human Hunter Gerard Argent and former Human Huntress/current Werejaguar Kate Argent**

Kate was born as Gerard's second and youngest child, as well as his only daughter, and she was raised and trained in the Hunter lifestyle. Unlike her older brother, Chris Argent, Kate was manipulated by her father, who twisted his way into her mind and convinced her into adopting his hatred towards Werewolves and other shapeshifters, believing that they all should die for being what they were. This turned Kate into a rebellious, sadistic and ruthless Huntress who disrespected the Hunter Code, which stated that underage Werewolves and those who have not spilled innocent human blood should not be killed.

Thanks to her father's teachings, Kate displayed no remorse or guilt for murdering several supernaturals in cold blood the years after she became a fully-fledged Huntress and this bias against the supernatural ultimately led her to manipulate and seduce the teenage Derek Hale so she could gain information on his family, which was composed of both Werewolves and humans.

She and nearly a dozen of co-conspirators set fire to the Hale House, killing numerous members of the Hale bloodline, including Derek's mother, Talia Hale, and putting his uncle, Peter Hale, in a coma for the following six years; the other survivors, Derek, his older sister Laura Hale, and his younger sister Cora Hale, were all forced to flee Beacon Hills out of fear of being killed like the rest of their family.

Upon learning of Kate's believed death at the hands of then-Alpha Werewolf Peter Hale, Gerard returned to Beacon Hills with a mission: avenge Kate's demise through murdering all Werewolves inhabiting Beacon Hills, regardless of their age, guilt or innocence. However, this attitude was solely a cover-up for his real reason to be in Beacon Hills, which was to gain the Bite from Derek Hale, the newly ascended Alpha of the Hale Pack, and become a Werewolf to cure his cancer, a goal that was ultimately unsuccessful due to Gerard underestimating the young Werewolf Scott McCall and his ability to both predict and prevent what Gerard planned to do.

It is unknown if Gerard was aware that Kate had been killed by an Alpha's claws, as Peter's claws were eventually revealed to have scratched Kate so deeply that she was turned, causing her body to revive itself as she ultimately transformed into a Werejaguar. Instead of committing suicide as ordered by the Calavera Family of Hunters, the self-appointed enforcers of the Hunter Code, Kate's survival instincts won out over her years of being taught that supernatural creatures were monsters deserving of death, and she escaped from the Calaveras' clutches, killing numerous Hunters in the process with her newly gained powers.

Kate and Gerard reunited during the war between the Beacon Hills supernatural community and Gerard and Tamora Monroe's Hunter Army. Kate sought rare yellow wolfsbane for two purposes—to win over her father and regain acceptance into the Argent Hunter family, and to complete her mission of finally killing Scott McCall, the True Alpha whom she believed to be the responsible for the decimation of the Argent Family.

However, Kate was appalled upon discovering that her father had handed the wolfsbane to Monroe so that *she* could shoot and kill Scott, essentially choosing his new protégée over his own daughter. In response to her anger and betrayal at his decision, Gerard shot Kate with a bullet filled with the rest of the yellow wolfsbane, proving to her what Chris and Derek had already tried to tell her—that Gerard loathed his daughter for what she had become and would never accept her back into his clan. This once again highlighted the fact that Gerard was a coward due to his own willingness to become a Werewolf in order to cure his cancer and prevent himself from dying.

After Argent came back to the armory to gloat to his father of the victory of Scott and his pack over both the Hunter army and the Anuk-ite, Kate transformed into her Werejaguar form and killed her father, apparently with Argent's permission and blessing.

In *Code Breaker*, Chris and his wife Victoria were discussing Kate's death and what this would mean for family in the upcoming weeks. Victoria informed Argent that "they" (meaning Gerard and the other Hunters) would be there in two days.

After a short debate over whether or not it was smart to put the blame for all of the serial killings on Kate (despite the fact that they were actually done by Peter Hale, who had been killed), Argent remarked that they were about to be pariahs in Beacon Hills. Victoria insisted that they could handle it, and when Argent asked about their daughter, Allison, Victoria insisted that she would learn.

Victoria went on to ask about Allison's boyfriend, Scott McCall, and Argent admitted that he himself was not the only one that Scott needed to worry about now, implying that eventually Scott would have to deal with Gerard and his resulting fury over Kate's death.

In *Omega*, when Chris, Victoria, and Allison Argent arrived at Kate's funeral, Victoria took note of the swarm of journalists and news crews behind a barrier a few yards away from Kate's grave and irritably remarked on all of the attention generated as a result of Kate being blamed for not only the Hale House Fire, which she did commit, but also all of the murderers of the co-conspirators who were actually killed by the now-deceased Peter Hale as well. Argent tersely replied that it was Gerard's idea to make a public spectacle of the funeral, leading Victoria to retort that Gerard could then deal with all of the attention.

As though he heard her, Gerard arrived a few minutes later and immediately approached Matt Daehler, an amateur photographer who had jumped the barrier in order to get a better angle at which he could take intrusive pictures of his crush, Allison. After engaging him in polite conversation, albeit with a threatening undertone, Gerard took the SIM card out of the teen's camera and snapped it in half before reuniting with his family at Kate's gravesite.

That night, Gerard, his son, Argent, and several of their other Hunters went into the Beacon Hills Preserve to hunt a rogue homeless Omega Werewolf, who had been caught in one of their traps. Gerard wasted no time killing the Omega by cutting him in half with his broadsword, and when he then declared that they would be hunting and killing all of the town's supernaturals, Argent brought up the Code, leading Gerard to insist that they were no longer following the Code now that "they" (namely, Derek Hale and his pack) had killed Kate. This revealed that part of the reason behind his return to Beacon Hills was to avenge his daughter.
