Bennett

**Bennett** was a character who was introduced during Season 2 of MTV's *Teen Wolf*. He was a Hunter affiliated with the Argent clan as well as a former student and swim team member at Beacon Hills High School.

## Early life

As a member of the 2006 Beacon Hills High School swim team, Bennett was a guest at the pool party Mr. Lahey had thrown. He, along with his team members, witnessed Matt Daehler's near death experience after being pushed into the pool. As a result of Bennett's involvement in the drowning, Matt used the bond he forged with the Kanima to finally take his revenge against those present that night by having them viciously mauled to death, Bennett included. *("117")*

## Throughout Teen Wolf

In *Ice Pick*, Bennett was seen on his motorcycle at the Beacon Hills Gas Station. Allison Argent, who was filling up the tank of her car, made eye contact with him at the station, and he nodded at her in greeting before driving away. Before Allison could react further, a black hood is thrown over Allison's head before she's abducted and brought to the Hale House ruins.

Though Allison initially believed that, for whatever reason, she and her father Chris Argent were kidnapped and tied to chairs in the burned wreckage of the home, it eventually became clear that this was both an initiation into the Hunter lifestyle as well as an intervention regarding her alliance with the Beta Werewolf Scott McCall; during this intervention, Bennett made an appearance to reveal to Allison that he was a Hunter just like the rest of her family.

Bennett was instructed by Argent to set a timer so they would know how quickly Allison would be able to free herself from her restraints before Argent handed his daughter one of her broken arrows to give her some help. Allison left the house after she successfully cut herself free, where she saw Bennett waiting for her. He congratulated her on her on passing her first test as he held up his phone to show her how long it took. When Allison scoffed and pointed out that it took her two and a half hours to liberate herself, Bennett confessed that it had actually taken him three when he was given the same test. Just after Allison left, the mysterious reptilian shapeshifter used his tail to grab Bennett by the ankle and drop him upside-down onto the ground, scratching him on the back of the neck with his venom-secreting claws in order to paralyze him and keep him from fighting back. The venom takes effect just as he was beginning to aim his weapon, forcing him to fall motionlessly onto the ground, where the Kanima viciously killed him.

In *Abomination*, Bennett's body was brought to the Beacon Hills Animal Clinic by Chris and Gerard Argent, who sought the retired Druid Emissary Alan Deaton's assistance in identifying the creature who had killed their fellow Hunter. When the Argents reminded him that Bennett was one of theirs, Deaton retorted that he also noticed the gunshot residue on his finger tips before warning them that he wasn't going to be swayed by their "philosophy" just because he had reluctantly agreed to answer their questions.

Deaton went on to explain that the precise cut on his neck resembling a surgical laceration was not the wound that killed him—it was the wound that exposed him to Kanima venom, paralyzing his entire body so that the still unknown reptilian shapeshifter could more easily maul him to death.
