## History

### Early Life

Scott McCall was born in 1994 to Melissa and Rafael McCall who was raised in Beacon Hills. Before the Bite, Scott had been diagnosed with asthma, which only got worse as he got older. In elementary school, Scott became best friends with Stiles Stilinski. At the same time, Scott's mother, Melissa, became good friends with Stiles' father, Noah Stilinski. While Scott would later see Noah as another father figure, never got to meet Stiles's mother

One night, Scott's dad came home drunk one night and got into an argument with Melissa. Angry, Raf grabbed him by the pressed and tried to force him back into his room. However, he ended up pushing Scott down the steps, who lost consciousness and gained a scar from the accident. When Scott woke up, he had no recollection of incident. This was the final straw for Melissa, who tossed Rafael out of the house that night. While she was tossing a drink out of the house, she was not telling a father to an abandon his son. After the incident, Melissa's and Rafael's relationship fall apart. While Scott went to live with his father for a while, Melissa convinced Rafael to give her custody. He eventually left his family to get sober and joined the San Francisco offices at the FBI. Melissa and Scott decide they're better of without him. However, deep down, Scott grew to resent his dad, because he never knew why Rafael left in the first place.

As a teenager, in order to provide his single working mother, Scott decided to take a part time job at the animal clinic under Dr. Alan Deaton, a relationship that eventually became close.
