Chris Argent

**Christopher "Chris" Argent** is a supernatural hunter and a character in *Teen Wolf*. He was 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 and Melissa McCall, the father of Allison and Henry Argent, the adoptive father of Mari McCall, the step-father of Scott McCall, the maternal uncle/foster father of Jeanine Argent and a descendant of Marie-Jeanne Valet and Henri Argent.

He comes from a long line of supernatural hunters and dislikes Werewolves and Scott McCall in general. However, he changes sides after his father Gerard nearly corrupted Allison and he lost his wife. After seeing that all Werewolves still have humanity and watching his daughter and Scott's friendships, Chris follows the changes his daughter made to the code for Allison's sake, this time only hunting supernatural creatures that the innocents. He becomes an ally and father figure for the Pack, specifically with Scott and develops a romance with Melissa.

He is an ally of the McCall pack and the Argent Family, as well as being indirectly related to the Hale Family, the McCall Family and the Delgado Family.

## Early History

when Chris was eighteen years old, he finished training to be a hunter. To show his dedication to the code, he forged several silver bullets and imprinted the Argent family's "fleur-de-lis" on them.

To test his son's survival skills, Gerard then sent Chris to Japan for a weapons deal. However, Gerard purposefully neglected to tell his son that he was actually doing business with the Yakuza (the Japanese mob). The soldiers pulled their guns on Chris while several Oni appeared and were killing everyone in their path while trying to reach the leader, who had been possessed by the Nogistune. Terrified, young Chris fell to the ground pretending to be among the dead. He noticed a man, named Katashi, about to face one.

Chris took his newly forged silver bullet he forged and shot it at the Oni about to kill the other man. When the bullet didn't stay in the Oni long enough for it to be killed, the creatures' mask was destroyed. The only thing Chris saw eternal darkness behind their masks. After the Nogitsune killed the Yakuza mob boss, they disappeared. Haunted by the experience, but Chris' stalling allowed the survivors to escape except for the leader. Many years later, Katashi would remember this incident and owe his life to his savior because that night, Katashi was thinking about running. What Chris has done only led Katashi to lose a part of his finger rather than his life.
