**Isaac David Lahey** is a main protagonist in MTV's *Teen Wolf.* He first appeared in the Season 2 premiere episode *Omega*, where he was approached by Derek Hale, who had recently become an Alpha and was looking to build a pack. Isaac then consented to the Bite and successfully turned into a Beta Werewolf. He continued to be a member of the Hale Pack throughout Season 2 and into the first half of Season 3, during which time they joined forces with Scott McCall and Hope Mikaelson and their friends against threats such as the Argent Hunters, the Kanima and its master, the Alpha Pack, and the Darach, all of which caused death and destruction to their town, and others to name a few.

However, some time after the deaths of his close friends and packmates Erica Reyes and Vernon Boyd, Isaac began drifting away from Derek and toward Scott who had recently learned he had the potential to be True Alpha's and whose family took Isaac in as their ward after Derek, who had been his informal guardian after the death of his father, kicked him out of his loft in an effort to protect him from the Alpha Pack. During Season 3, Isaac entered a romantic relationship with his friends cousin, Josie Mikaelson.

After Derek gave up his Alpha powers to save Hope, Isaac, now without an Alpha, officially joined the McCall Pack as Scott's Beta and worked with their new pack to fight against the Nogitsune, who had recently possessed his friend and packmate Stiles Stilinski, and as well as the Oni, who were hunting the Void Kitsune as well.

**Isaac** is a member of the **Lahey Family**, a former member of the **Hale Pack**, and a member of the **McCall Pack**.

## Early life

Very little is known about Isaac's early life. From what has been revealed by Isaac, he grew up with his father, mother, and older brother Camden. At some point, Isaac's mother died from unknown causes, followed shortly by Camden, who enlisted in the Army after graduation and was ultimately killed in action while on deployment in Afghanistan.

Following their deaths, Mr. Lahey went from being a loving family man to an incredibly abusive single father who put a lot of pressure on Isaac, his only surviving family member, to succeed. If Isaac disobeyed him or got poor grades in school, his father would often beat him before locking him in a freezer down in the basement for long periods of time, a punishment that would later cause Isaac to develop a severe case of claustrophobia (and, by extension, post-traumatic stress disorder and severe anxiety) which lead him to have panic attacks whenever he was forced into small spaces.

As a child, Isaac became close friends with Matt Daehler, with whom he bonded over their mutual love of comic books. Isaac's father was the coach of the Beacon Hills High School swim team and held many parties at their house where he would allow the team members to drink and swim in their pool.

One night during one of these parties, Matt was at the Lahey House to swap comic books with Isaac, where the two happened upon the party. One of the teammates threw young Matt into the pool even despite his frantic protests that he didn't know how to swim, and he nearly drowned while the rest of the people at the party, who were drunk and too busy hooking up with each other, ignored him. Finally, Mr. Lahey saved his life by pulling him out of the pool and performing CPR, but the older man blamed Matt's near-death-experience on him for not knowing how to swim before threatening him not to tell anyone what happened.

It was this event that eventually led Matt to become the Kanima master after lending the newly turned Kanima Jackson Whittemore his camera; the two ultimately bonded, and Matt's first act with Jackson under his control was against Mr. Lahey on the same night that the man had badly abused Isaac and unknowingly revealed Isaac's recent Werewolf transformation. When Mr. Lahey got out of his car to chase Isaac down after he fled from the house, Matt set the Kanima on him, who viciously tore him apart with his claws in retribution for almost letting Matt die all those years ago. This ultimately allowed Isaac to run away without harm.

As a teenager, Isaac began working at the cemetery that his father owned, digging graves after school and at night to help out his family on top of going to school and playing on the lacrosse team.

In February or March 2011, Isaac, desiring the power to defend himself from his abusive father, accepted Derek Hale's offer to bite him and transform him into a Werewolf, making him Derek's first true Beta (as his first bitten, Jackson Whittemore, seemed to initially reject the transformation and was then revealed to have become a Kanima instead of a Werewolf).
