He was first introduced in Season 1 as Scott and Adella McCall's boss and a human veterinarian at the Beacon Hills Animal Clinic, but by the beginning of Season 2, it was revealed that he knew much more about the supernatural world than he originally let on. He began to act as Scott and Adella's mentor and helped patch up them and their friends when they were hurt in supernatural battles, along with giving them helpful information about Werewolves, Kanimas, and other supernatural creatures when needed.

In Season 3, it was revealed that he is actually a Druid and was the former Emissary to the Hale Pack when it was still led by Talia Hale. It was also confirmed that Marin Morrell, who was then the Emissary to the Alpha Pack, is his younger sister. Since then, Deaton has been dedicated to helping the Beacon Hills supernatural world, and especially Scott and Adella, whenever and however he can, often at his own risk. This was proven when he traveled all the way to Japan to seek out a rare strain of lichen known as *letharia vulpina* to help save Stiles Stilinski from his possession by the Nogitsune, and when he risked his safety to free Isaac Lahey, Ethan and Aiden Steiner from the Nogitsune flies that had infected them.

Throughout Season 4, he helped the McCall Pack and Satomi Ito's Werewolf pack, among others, escape the events of the Deadpool when assassins, Hunters, and amateur killers eager for a large payout began flooding the town. He also sought the help of Gabriel Valack to learn more about Kate Argent, who was inadvertently transformed into a Werejaguar who would become known as *La Loba*, in hopes of saving Derek Hale's life due to his love for Talia.

In Season 5, Deaton was horrified when he realized that the Dread Doctors, who had recently arrived in Beacon Hills, were breaking the rules of the supernatural to create pseudo-supernatural hybrid creatures known as Chimeras, which eventually led him to decide to go to Russia to learn more about the Doctors. In *Ouroboros*, it was revealed that Deaton had been taken hostage by the Desert Wolf as part of her plan to kill her daughter Malia Tate, and had been seen with his captor at the border between Canada and the United States. However, he was ultimately rescued by Malia and Braeden and returned home safely, where Deaton went on to help the McCall Pack figure out how to save Mason Hewitt from the possession of Sebastien Valet/the Beast of Gevaudan.

Though Deaton's appearances were brief throughout Season 6, he did assist the pack in several breakthroughs that helped them fight the town's current threats, including helping Lydia use automatic writing to determine that Scott, Malia and Lydia's memories of Stiles Stilinski had been taken by the Ghost Riders of the Wild Hunt when they captured him, and when he discovered (with help from Mason and Corey) that the ancient shapeshifter who had escaped the Wild Hunt was the Anuk-ite.

**Deaton** is the Emissary to the **McCall Pack**, and is the former Emissary to the **Hale Pack**.
