User blog comment:Elizzzabear/Peter Hale is the Bride..... From Kill Bill, That Is./@comment-99.195.158.177-20130805004244

I love Peter Hale...and he doesn't have to be a hero or anti-hero for me...he works just fine as a villain(best one the series has had)...with that being said though we really don't have his full backstory yet as to what extent he was affected by that fire...I would think fans might be more sympathetic towards him if we find out he lost a wife and child in the fire epsecially if that child was very young (perhaps even a baby) but we don't have that info yet (though it has been promised).

What we do know is that he lost it...the Peter Hale in season 2 and 3 is not quite the same as the one from season one...yeah the humor is there but anyone who rewatches the scene where he kills Kate(and I could not stand Kate) can see he was on the edge. When he talks about Kate decimating his family I don't think he is referring to Derek, Laura, Cora, etc...it sounded much more personal...more intimate because lets face it he kills Laura without hesitation.
