I do agree that the emissary would have a closer relationship with the alpha, I was just explaining to Jackson van kleeck about someone else's comment, for me the obvious emissary for scott would be Deaton, he seems to know ALMOST everything about the wolves, there are times when stiles and lydia help but stiles doesnt know as much as deaton and lydia doesnt exactly have control of the whisper, so scott needs someone who can help more than those 2 can

I suspect that Deaton is supposed to be Scott's emissary, but he is untrustworthy. He was apparently Talia Hale's after all (which was likely what Peter wanted from him). But he never provided much help to Derek and he is notoriously unreliable with Scott. He doles out information very selectively, and often seems to deliberately withhold it even when lives are at stake. For example, he knew a lot about the Alpha Pack's backstory (having been a witness to Deucalion's slide into evil) and yet he never volunteered this information when they first became a threat.

Just a reminder, Scott works for Deaton. He is in that office with him for hours at a time! It's not as if they don't have time on their hands to discuss pressing supernatural matters.

"Scott, I'd love to tell you all about this latest supernatural threat, but you really need to change the kitty litter in all the cat cages. Maybe then we can talk about it later. Customers before corpses you know!"
