Peter Hale

Peter Hale, as the The Alpha Werewolf, was the primary antagonist during the first season of Teen Wolf.

While most of his family perished in the fire at the Hale home in Beacon Hills, Peter survived. He was left comatose and badly scarred.

His werewolf nature allowed him to heal completely, albeit slowly, over the intervening years.

Season 1
In Wolf's Bane, Peter explains to Derek that he killed Laura Hale and became The Alpha that has menaced Scott and the rest of the cast throughout Season 1.

He was apparently aided in his crimes by a nurse at Beacon Hill's Long Term Care Facility.

Other than a penchant for killing and dramatic gestures, little else is known about the character. He says that his personality was “burned away” in the fire that killed his family.

His other kills include: Jerrison Myers, a video store clerk, a janitor from the high school, and two drunk men in the woods. All except the janitor, had something to do with the Hale Arson Conspiracy, which killed most of the family.

In Code Breaker he goes after Kate Argent the mastermind behind his family's decimation and ultimately rips out her throat. It is also revealed that he purposely killed Laura to give himself the power to take his revenge. This causes Derek to realign himself with Scott to kill Peter. However, when Scott and Derek later come to Allison's rescue Peter has no problem stopping them both. Stiles and Jackson use Molotov cocktails to burn and mortally wound him with help from Allison. As Peter lay severely burnt but clinging to life, Derek took advantage of the opportunity to kill Peter by slitting his throat. He does this in revenge for his sister's death. Scott then attempts to convince Derek not to kill his uncle, but to let him do it instead so he can return to normal. Scott's request is unsuccessful and Derek becomes the new Alpha.
