IIRC Jackson was the "beta" or phase one Kanima (I don't remember if the Kanima had Alpha/Beta stages).

When they found out what the Kanima was, I think Scott, claimed that the Kanima he saw during his research had wings, which Jackson didn't have.

So if Parrish is a Kanima, then it'd probably be the Alpha Kanima, that way, Davis technically wouldn't be reusing the Kanima, but introducing the complete version of it. Like I said in my post above why are their no violent deaths like Jackson as the Kanima? Who would be Parrish's Master? As we know thats what they seek. As you said, as far as we know, they seek masters. Parrish could have had a master when he was in Afghanistan. Jackson didn't know what he was doing when the Kanima took over, so the same could be applied to Parrish.

As for why there's no violent deaths, maybe Parrish's (if he is a Kanima) master died while fighting, leaving him open to be drawn to Beacon Hills when the Nemeton was restored. He wouldn't have a master at this point, so there'd be the potential of another Master after the benefactor fiasco.

As far as we know, Kanimas could be picky over who their masters are. We only know of two, Gerard and I think his name was Matt. Gerard became a master possibly due to his violent nature, and Matt became a master because Kanima!Jackson saw his own reflection before accepting Matt as his master. If Parrish doesn't know what he is doing then how is he not killing people or turning into the kanima yet? Makes no sense. As far we know all Kanima's need a master so even if his master died he would seeked a new one. Picky of their masters? Really cause Jackson lost his in Matt then in less then like a minute got a new one. An it was the guy who killed his pervious master!
