Chris Argent

**Christopher** **"Chrlis" Argent** is a character in the MTV series, *Teen Wolf*. 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 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 superernatural after becoming close friends with Scott, and Derek Hale. He begins to help his friends defend Beacon Hills and innocents, both humans and the supernatural.

## History

### Background

Chris Argent was brought up on the ways of being a supernatural hunting, especially werewolves. This was presumably from his father, Gerard. He was raised alongside his sister Kate. While Chris inherited his ancestors Henri and Marie-Jeanne's more honorable traits, his father and sister inherited the more violent traits from their ancestral great-uncle. While Chris was devoted to the code, his sister and father were not. When Chris was eighteen years old, he graduated from hunting training and created his own silver bullet to adhere to the code. When he was of age, Chris was sent on an arms deal between the Argents and the Yakuza. However, he was unaware that the Japanese mob was involved until he arrived. Gerard wanted to see if his son would be able to survive. During the exchange, the Oni attacked because they were after the Kumichio, the leader of the Yakuza. Believing that one of the men was going to face the creatures, Chris took a silver bullet and shot at the Oni, as silver is its one true weakness. However, the bullet wasn't in the creature long enough to kill the Oni, but enough to make his mask shatter. It would take Argent's daughter Allison shooting the creature that made him realize silver was the Oni's weakness. The man, named Katashi, never forgot Argent's act of bravery. To prove he survived Chris took the shattered Oni mask and kept it with him in case he ever needed to make a deal with Katashi. During his career, Chris also came across other creatures such as Berserkers and Werewolves.

In 1994, Chris and his wife Victoria married and were blessed with a daughter, they named Allison. Both Chris and Victoria grew to love their daughter dearly and agreed to keep her in the dark of her heritage until she was eighteen years old. It is unknown why they did this but it is implied Chris wanted his daughter to have a normal life as much as possible. However, Kate disapproved of their parenting methods. Chris worked as a federal licensed firearms dealer and security consultant acting as a front for their werewolf hunting business. Sometime after the Hale fire, Chris once saw Kate take down an innocent hunter. She convinced him that there was no other choice. However, at the time, Chris dismissed it and would realize years later that if he had stopped Kate, then maybe she would not be the bloodthirsty killer she is today.

Many years later, Chris came across a Nemeton. However, he hoped to never see the place again. When the Hale fire took place, Chris did not believe the Argents had anything to do with it, mostly because it was against the code to go after innocent werewolves who were children.  The Argent family lived in San Francisco throughout 2010, but in late December 2010 or late January 2011, they packed up their things and moved to Beacon Hills after hearing news that Laura Hale, an Alpha Werewolf, had been killed by what appeared to be another Werewolf,
