**Christopher "Chris" Argent** is a major protagonist in the MTV series, *Teen Wolf* and the 2023 continuation film, *Teen Wolf: The Movie*. He is the son of the late Gerard Argent and an unnamed mother, the brother of Kate Argent, the nephew of Alexander Argent. He is also the husband of the late Victoria Argent, the boyfriend of Melissa McCall, the father of Allison Argent, and a descendant of Marie-Jeanne Valet and Henri Argent.

He initially comes from a long line of supernatural hunters and initially dislikes Scott McCall for dating Allison and werewolves in general. However, Chris follows a certain code of conduct, unlike most of the Argents. He later begins to accept the supernatural community after seeing the influences Kate and Gerard had on his family. Chris later accepts the changes his daughter made to the code even after her demise. He begins to help his friends defend Beacon Hills and innocents, both humans and the supernatural. He becomes an ally and father figure for the Pack, specifically with Scott and develops a romance with Melissa.

## Personality

Throughout Chris' career, he was a supernatural hunter who, over the years, faced demonic Oni and hunted down wicked werewolves and berserkers.  Chris hunted it down Regardless of the supernatural creature, believing most werewolves need to be put down like rabid dogs. Unlike his family, Chris lives by the code to never hunt werewolves who are young and have never spilled innocent blood. He was horrified to learn that Kate was the arsonist who set the Hale family house on fire including human children and washing Gerard cutting an Omega werewolf in half. Chris also had mixed feelings for Allison's ex-boyfriend Scott McCall, especially after learning that he is a werewolf. He saved Scott when he saw Kate pointing a gun at an innocent werewolf who didn't hurt anyone. However, Chris himself grew angry when he saw Scott and Allison were still dating and pointed a gun at him, showing that Argent still let his anger as emotions get the better of him.

Ruthless and unforgiving, Chris is misguided but doing what he thinks is right. He was overprotective of Allison at first, even refusing her to see Scott and keeping a very close eye on her without realizing this was making Allison uncomfortable and unhappy. Unlike his sister and father, Chris eventually learned to accept Allison's and Scott's friendship, even sometimes using Scott as a reason for Allison to stop being ruthless. Despite remaining stern and calm in earlier seasons, Argent kept a mask on that made him seem cold and uncaring. He kept pressing Scott on what to tell the police about Allison's death. Even though Argent told Isaac that he was able to get his emotions under control, Chris broke down crying and Isaac hugged him while the man swore to avenge his daughter. He helped the McCall Pack take down the Oni and Nogistune before leaving for France.

By season 3, Argent has seen all the good Scott and Allison do and has come to accept that not all Werewolves are monsters. More open-minded, Chris eventually becomes one of the parental figures of the McCall pack, becoming more fatherly towards Scott and Isaac because of their younger age and developing friendships with Derek Hale, Melissa McCall, and Noah Stilinski. He also offered to help Malia control her shifts because even though she was a werecoyote, she was still human.  He believed he saved her from her bloodthirst when he failed with Kate. Chris continued to live by his daughter's new code to protect innocent humans and supernatural beings. Chris was also disgusted by his sister Kate's actions, such as setting the Hale Family house on fire or turning Scott into a Berserker. This also extended to his father, especially after witnessing Gerard's willingness to kill his own granddaughter and genocide against the supernatural community.

Argent is also a fairly protective individual, especially towards his daughter, Allison. He made it clear to Scott that he always thinks about his daughter's safety, especially after the incident in the school involving the Alpha's attacks. This love and protection also extend to his friends, especially to Melissa, Scott, and Isaac. He once protected Melissa from a bloodthirsty werewolf (without realizing it was Malia) and even urged Melissa to get Scott and the pack out of Beacon Hills in concern for his safety. He concerned himself with Lydia's well-being when she sensed her pack mates were in danger during the Beast's attack on the school. Chris remains loyal to his friends until the end due to his obligation to uphold Allison's memory. During the war with the Beast of Gévaudan, Chris stood in between Gerard and Scott so he could kill the Beast and Dave Mason. Argent also developed a romantic relationship with Melissa, as he found a second love who was strong and independent. He also developed a close friendship with Malia Tate, offering lessons on maintaining control. He seems to have recovered some of his relationship with Kate because he willingly left his father to die at his sister's hand so Gerard wouldn't hurt his friends or anybody else.

## Skills & Abilities

* **Hunting Skills**
	+ **Tracking**
* **Supernatural Lore:** Due to the Argent family bestiary, Chris is very knowledgeable about the supernatural world. He knows about the weaknesses of werewolves, including electricity, wolfsbane, hyper sensitivity to sounds, etc. He presumably knows that the color of a werewolf's eye can determine whether or not it took an innocent life or not. He is also somewhat aware of the Argent story of his ancestors, Marie-Jeanne and Henry Argent, calling the former the "First Argent Hunter," probably explaining why the Argent family is a matriarchal one.
* **Multilingual**: Chris appears to know how to speak French, As he was able to translate his daughter's new code from French to English in a matter of seconds.
* **Medical knowledge:** Being a hunter, Argent has some level of medical skills. He taught his daughter how to sew a wound back up, as she managed to stitch up Scott's wounded side after being scarred and clawed by The Alpha Twins. In "Orphaned," Chris was able to remove a Berserker claw from Scott's side so he could heal faster. Chris assisted Melissa in helping with Malia when he was forced to subdue her with his own bullets. He also instructed Melissa on how to create a 9 herbal remedy after he was wounded attempting to enter the Ghost Riders portal to their train station.

## Relationships

### Romances

#### Victoria Argent (Wife)

 File:Chris and Victoria.png  Christopher fell in love with Victoria Argent and it is implied they married quite young. In 1994, they had a daughter together. Like his wife, Chris agreed to keep Allison in the dark until she was 18 years old and they disapproved of Allison's relationship with Scott, especially after they learned he was a teenage beta werewolf. However, this didn't work out because Allison was informed of the supernatural community by Chris' sister, Kate, much to his fury.

Unlike her husband, Victoria was more stern and cold than Chris was. She had no qualms against going against the code of conduct for supernatural hunters, which was not going after werewolves who were young or had not spilled innocent blood. After Victoria was bitten by Derek trying to kill Scott, Chris helped take part in his wife's suicide, because she was unwilling to live life as a werewolf due to their oath.

When Scott came to Chris for help with stopping a Moon-deprived Cora and Boyd, Chris listed Victoria's death as one reason why he was refusing to help him. However, Chris feels guilt about his wife suicide and to prove this he wished she had just lived life as a werewolf.

#### Melissa McCall (Close Friend/Love Interest)

 File:Mcargent kiss.png

After first meeting Melissa, Chris initially disapproved of her son dating his daughter, calling Scott a bad influence on Allison And blamed Melissa for her bad parenting. Angered, Melissa called him out on his behavior and promptly had him thrown out of her home. They later developed a friendship in Season 3, when they and Noah Stilinski were abducted by Jennifer Blake, who intended to sacrifice them to endow herself with powers. When Allison and Isaac found the parents in the storm cellar below the Nemeton, a storm was sent by Jennifer, hoping that it will kill the group inside. However, Scott, Derek and Deucalion were able to defeat her and ended up saving Chris, Isaac, Noah, Melissa and Allison.

In Season 6, Melissa and Chris became very close friends, but developed romantic feelings for each other. They often acted as parental figures for the McCall pack. With the threat of Argent's biological father, he urged Melissa to tell Scott and the other teenagers to run, out of concern for their safety. Ultimately, both of Chris and Melissa realized that fighting was the only way to survive and decided to support Scot and the rest of the pack.

Melissa and Argent became very close, kissing each other and having been brought together by the supernatural.

### Familial

#### Gerard Argent (Father)

The father/son relationship between the Hunters Gerard and Chris was a complicated relationship. At a young age, Gerard trained Chris in armed and unarmed combat. Although Gerard has only ever followed the Code when it benefited him, Argent still managed to grow up with a reverence for the Code that caused him to follow it to the letter.

#### Kate Argent (Younger Sister)

Kate was Chris' younger sister and they used to be close as children. However, as adults, Kate and Chris grew distant from each other. According to her, Chris always finds a way to make her look like the bad guy in situations, despite it being her fault. Chris also disapproved of Kate teaching Allison about their family history of werewolf hunters. Despite his dislike towards werewolves at the time, Chris was horrified when he learned about Kate's role in the Hale Family Fire and her threateningly waving her gun in front of a teenager who had never spilled human blood. Like everyone else, Chris believed his sister was killed when Peter Hale bit her. However, Kate survived the Bite and instead, transformed into a Werejaguar. However, he wanted to avenge her.

By 2013, Chris and Kate were now sworn enemies after he learned about his sister's survival from Scott. Despite her anger towards the McCall pack, Kate still cared about her brute, as she shouted "No" at a berserker when it tried to kill him. Later, Chris protected Stiles and Scott's body (which was trapped in a coma in order to lure out the Benefactor) and this time, Chris didn't hesitate to pull the gun on her yet again. He lost all hope of his younger sister finding redemption because she tried to have Scott killed by turning him into a berserker and unrightfully blamed Allison's death on her pack. He ended up shooting her with a yellow wolfsbane bullet and joined the Calavera family to both protect the McCall Pack and hunt his sister.

In Season 6, with Kate still wanting revenge on Scott and the rest of the pack, tension grew on both of the Argents' sides. However, tried warning her that if she sided with her father, Gerard would not accept her. This was proven true when their father shot her with yellow wolfsbane. In the series finally, Chris allowed Kate to kill off their father once and for all, despite feeling troubled while doing so.

#### Scott McCall (Former Enemy/Surrogate Son)

Argent used to have a complex relationship with Scott, as he immensely disliked him because the latter was dating his daughter, Allison. It only worsened after learning Scott was a teenage werewolf. Despite his rivalry with Scott, Chris had no intention of killing him because of the hunters' Codes against harming children or innocent werewolves who never spilled innocent blood. Ultimately, the two had to set aside their differences when they were against a common threat in Gerard and Peter. However, after Allison's death, Argent continued to help Scott's pack to honor his daughter's memory. After leaving in Season 3, he returned to save Scott from his deranged sister.

By the end of season 6, Chris became more helpful to Scott, showing concern for his safety when he wanted Scott and the kids to leave Beacon Hills to survive. When that didn't work, Chris decided to help Scott and brought reinforcements to their cause including Derek Hale. In the two-year flashforward, Argent continued to help Scott track down the werewolf boy, Alec and reaffirmed his trust to a person he never thought he could and someone who saved his life more than once.

#### Derek Hale (Friend/Former Enemy)

Argent and Derek used to be enemies, because of a long-standing rivalry between werewolves & hunters, but eventually became friends/allies. They had little in common except for the fact that they disapproved of Scott and Allison's relationship and saw the alpha and the as a threat.

In Season 6, Chris brought reinforcements to the war with the werewolf hunters, including Derek Hale.

### Malia Tate

Though they merely started off as acquaintances, Chris realized that Malia had bloodthirsty looks in her eyes, the same way his sister. Chris taught her how to control herself.

Likely, the two got closer because of their respective relationships with Melissa and Scott.
