Argent Family

**The Argent Family** is one of the main families in the *Teen Wolf* series. They are a well-known, respected, and very wealthy bloodline of Werewolf Hunters, and, as far as it is known, all the Argents are immersed in this lifestyle; there has yet to be a member of the Argent family introduced who was not a Hunter, or at the very least in the business of protecting innocents and killing monsters. The family is literally legendary in the supernatural world—because Argent is French for "silver," the myth has always been that silver kills Werewolves, but in reality, it's the Argent family who does that due to their legacy as Hunters.

## History

The Argents originated from France. Before he met Marie-Jeanne Valet, Henri Argent was a man whose family, the Argents, were knowledgeable on how to survive a werewolf attack instead of hunting them. He was married to a woman and had four children with her. However, Madame Argent and their four children were killed and Henri only survived. One night, he came across the innkeeper's son, Emile. After the boy died, Henri took him to the tavern with the body of a young boy in his arms, Henri explained that Emile was attacked and that his last words were "La Bête." Even though she did not believe in the supernatural, Marie agreed to lead a hunting party after the Beast.  Henri thought she was a fool to believe this.
When Marie-Jeanne went to confront the Beast, she was afraid to learn that the "Wolf" was actually a werewolf. Running in terror after being wounded by it, Henri used mountain ash against the creature so it could not reach them.
He took Marie-Valet to his cabin, where he healed her wound. He offered to hel her survive the werewolf; however, she wanted to know how to kill one in order to save their village. Henri joined her on in the quest to kill it. They laced alcoholic drinks with mistletoe, which was what all werewolves were allergic to. She, at first, believed Marcel was the Demon Wolf after he told her to look in the cellar, where Marie found a slaughter of men, women, and children. However, her theory of Marcel being the demon wolf was proven wrong when she noticed the wound she inflicted on him had not yet healed. Marie realized that Marcel couldn't be the Beast but was rather just covering for him. Instead it was her brother.
Not letting her brother intimidate her into silence, Marie quickly ran to Henry's cabin, where she revealed her discovery and how she needed his help to kill her brother before he hurt any more innocents. He suggested that they needed something that would use the Beast's size and weight, deciding on a pike. Valet and Argent created a tip mixed with wolfsbane and mountain Ash, which was made into the shape of a fleur-de-lis. After it cooled, Marie merged the sphere in her own blood under the light of a full moon. After three years of hunting her brother down, Marie-Jeanne was successful in using the pike to kill Sebastien and swore to erase their anme from the history books so no one would ever know his name.
Henri helped gather everything that Sebastien signed and burned it with the rest of the village. As his partnership with Marie-Jeanne persisted, Henri and Marie-Jeanne fell in love and began a romantic relationship. The two married, with Marie-Jeanne taking his last name to disconnect herself from her brother and became the ancestors of a long line of supernatural hunters. Because Marie Jeanne killed the beast, she is presumably the reason why the Argents were a matriarchy.
Not only were the Argents aware of their origin as being the first werewolf hunters, they and the Charmed Ones were so aware that the story of "Little Red Riding Hood" was a true story and not a fairy tale.

In 1801, The Argent's youngest granddaughter, Samantha, became associated with the Delgado and Hale families. She had a romantic relationship with Amalia Delgado until she married her husband and never dispelled the rumors that it was Amalia and Jeremy having a romantic sexual relationship.

### Marie-Jeanne

**Marie-Jeanne Valet** (1730-1790 at age of 46) was the first huntress and the progenitor of the Argent Family. She was the younger sister of Sebastien Valet, the second wife of Henri Argent and the grandmother of Samantha. She lived in France during the 1740s and became a skilled huntress who did not believe in the supernatural. Marie-Jeanne overheard guests, including the Magistrate, Monsieur Tolbert. They were discussing La Bête; a dangerous beast that began killing and terrorizing the entire countryside with many conflicting sources of what it looked like. Tolbert told the patrons at the end that until the king sent his best men to hunt the creature, it was up to the villagers to create their own. At that moment, Sebastien had returned from his war with his companion, Marcel, claiming his sister was the best huntress in the village. Marie-Jeanne was happily reunited with him and embraced Sebastien. Once their tearful reunion was over, Tolbert approached Marie-Jeanne and asked if she was willing to lead their hunting party, to which she laughed and replied that she hunted animals, not rumors. However, after a young man, Henri Argent came into the tavern with the body of a young boy in his arms, Henri explained that Emile was attacked and that his last words were "La Bête." This outraged her.

Even though she did not believe in the supernatural, Marie-Jeanne agreed to lead a hunting party after the Beast. Unfortunately, her hunting party was slaughtered and everyone but Marie-Jeanne survived. When she saw the creature, she shot at it with an arrow, only to be badly scratched on her thigh by its claws. Marie-Jeanne fled, but she was saved by Henri, who quickly threw a jar full of Mountain Ash in a line around them. Shocked to learn from Henri that the "Beast" was a werewolf and wanting to kill the werewolf, Henri taught her how. They laced alcoholic drinks with mistletoe, which was what all werewolves were allergic to. She, at first, believed Marcel was the Demon Wolf after he told her to look in the cellar, where Marie-Jeanne found a slaughter of menwomen and children. However, her theory of Marcel being the demon wolf was proven wrong when she noticed the wound, she inflicted on him had not yet healed. Marie-Jeanne realized that Marcel couldn't be the Beast but was rather just covering for him.

Unfortunately, while Marie-Jeanne was away, Sebastien had violently reacted to the mistletoe-laced wine. Upon seeing his blue werewolf eyes, Marie-Jeanne angrily confronted Sebastien, who informed her he had become a werewolf ever since he drank rainwater out of a wolf's paw print in the woods. Marie-Jeanne threatened to expose him to the entire tavern but refrained from doing so when Sebastien threatened to wipe out everyone in it. Not letting her brother intimidate her into silence, Marie-Jeanne quickly ran to Henry's cabin, where she revealed her discovery and how she needed his help to kill her brother before he hurt any more innocents, He suggested that they needed something that would use the Beast's size and weight, deciding on a pike. Valet and Argent created a tip mixed with wolfsbane and mountain Ash, which was made into the shape of a fleur-de-lis. After it cooled, Marie-Jeanne merged the sphere in her blood under the light of a full moon.

For 3 years, Maria hunted down her brother and managed to track him down on June 19, 1767, in the mountains. She used the pike to kill Sebastien finally. Even though her brother gloated that even though he would die, he would die in infamy, as his name would forever be remembered and feared. However, Marie-Jeanne announced her plan of "damnatio memoriae" (erasing his name from history, so people will forevermore just remember him as 'The Beast').

After killing the Beast to save her village, Marie-Jeanne and her village erased Sebastien from the records, so he would forever be remembered as "the Beast of. Even after her brother's death, Marie never left Henry's side. Soon their partnership turned into a romantic relationship. To further erase her brother's name from history and distance herself from La Bête, Marie took his last name to disconnect herself from the Beast that terrorized France. They married and became the ancestors of a long line of supernatural hunters.
