**Peter Hale** (Potrayed by Ian Bohen) is one of the main antagonists of the MTV series, *Teen Wolf*. He is the alpha werewolf who bit Scott McCall, the series' protagonist and is the uncle of Derek Hale. He and Kate are arguably the main antagonists of the first part of the series as a whole.

## Description

Peter was apparently a level-headed member of the Hale family. His nephew Derek, was seduced by Kate Argent, who led the werewolf hunters to the Hale house and burned to the ground killing members of the family. Peter survived but was severally injured. He was in a coma for years before he awoken. Apparently, the fire damaged his mind and body and gave him a thirst for vengeance. He was so determined he killed his niece Laura, who was an Alpha werewolf, to steal her alpha powers.

Half of Laura's body was found and sparked the curiosity of Scott McCall, his adoptive sister Riley Terra and Stiles Stilinski. While looking for the other half, Scott and Riley are attacked by Peter in his wolf form. Once he realizes he's a werewolf, Scott, Riley and Stiles team up with Derek to find out the truth. Over the season, Peter killed the hunters involved with his families murder and menaced Scott, Derek and Stiles, while his human form faked being in a coma. He even tried to get Scott to kill his friends. Eventually his secret is revealed and Peter began stalking Scott and his friends even in human form, he even manipulates Derek to his own ends. At one point he even tries to turn Scott's mother into a werewolf, but that plan is foiled. Peter is amused after he learns that Riley wasn't in fact a human being (A Saiyan), after she killed the hunters, for "revenge". On the night of the winter formal, Peter attacks Lydia Martin, one of Scott's female friends. The resulting panic cuts the dance short. Peter meets up with Stiles and demands offers to turn him into a werewolf, but he refuses, even when Peter tries to use his crush on Lydia against him. Later that night, at the remains of the Hale house, Scott is cornered by the Kate and her niece Allison, Scott's love interest. This is not before Scott reveals the truth about Laura's death to Derek. Peter suddenly attacks and kills Kate Argent in front of Allison and tries to manipulate Riley to kill his enemies together, since they share the same hatred but she refuses. In the fight that follows, Scott, Riley, Allison, Derek, Stiles, and their acquaintance Jackson manage to subdue Peter, and Derek slashes his throat, killing his uncle and becoming the new alpha.

Peter appeared to Lydia as a hallucination as a result of her immunity to lycanthropy. This was an elaborate plot that leads to his resurrection, but he is still physically weak. Peter witnesses Gerard Argent become the master of the new monster in town, the Kanima. Peter goes to Derek, revealing he knows how to stop the Kanima and hence Gerard. The plan was to get Lydia to reach to the Kanima (Jackson's) heart. Once Gerard is defeated, Lydia reaches through to Jackson and he is struck down by both Derek and Peter. Jackson survives and transforms into a werewolf.
