Despite what you say it has not been confirmed one way or another. Show me in any episode where this is said or stated and then you will have confirmed it. Nowhere in the show does it state that Peter was supposed to inherit the Alpha status until Talia passed it over to Laura instead. It is unknown if the fire caused Laura to become the Hale family Alpha werewolf once her mother Talia died, or if she already held that title prior to the fire. Unlike other werewolves, Laura was able to transform into a fully formed canine wolf while in her Alpha werewolf state. It is assumed she inherited this ability from her mother when she died. This is actually more "confirmed" then Peter being passed over as Alpha because he was hurt. We KNOW that Peter wasn't comatose for the entire 6 years (as indicated by Peter AND the killings that took place) but it is impossible to say at which point he began to sneak out of the home he was in.

I too have read Othello and yes I agree that Peter fits him really well. The fact that Peter is loosely based on Iago does not prove anything about the Alpha status and who the rightful heir was. Iago was upset that he was passed over for promotion and that the promotion was given to Cassio instead. This however, was NOT his motivation for killing Othello.

Iago gives multiple reasons for his actions but throughout the play we see that he doesn't really believe in the reasons as much as he just enjoys manipulating, deceiving and ultimately ruining others, especially those that are revered like Othello was. lago's true motive is his blatant love of evil. Iago is using jealousy and anger as excuses to perpetrate evil. He made Othello commit murder out of jealousy and then commit suicide! Othello was like a freaking god to the people and was practically worshipped by all that knew him. Iago just wanted to bring him down, period. That was his motivation, to destroy someone because he could.

Here are the qualities that Peter AND Iago share: ability to charm and convince people of their loyalty and honesty, consumed with hatred and jealousy, both display a talent for understanding and manipulating the desires of those around them, they both carry out their evil deeds with style, seeming to appreciate the cleverness they employed to do a particular act, they both employ humor.

These are a few of the most recognizable traits they both share. They are liars and manipulators but they are unlike any others due to their intelligence and ability to manipulate. Iago is completely evil. He is like the Joker from Batman. He loves chaos and destroying those around him. He is so good at it that instead of people catching on to his schemes as the play goes on, they are drawn closer to him. He is that good at deceiving people. Iago double crosses all the characters who consider him their friend.
