Kate Argent

Kate Argent was the sister of Chris Argent, aunt of Allison Argent, and the sister-in-law of Mrs. Argent. Kate was a member of a group of werewolf Hunters. She was killed by Alpha Werewolf Peter Hale.

Season 1
She was introduced in Magic Bullet when she came to stay with the Argents at their new home in Beacon Hills.

Throughout Season 1, Kate pushed Allison to learn more about her family and their mission to hunt werewolves.

In The Tell she gave Allison a silver pendant featuring a wolf. In Heart Monitor, she directed her to the French legend of La Bête du Gévaudan and the connection between the beast in the story and the Argent family. In Lunatic, Kate taught Allison to use a Taser gun.

Kate was fearless and possibly sociopathic when it came to dealing with werewolves.

She responded without fear when The Alpha attacks her SUV in Magic Bullet grabbing a gun and firing at the first thing that moves. The bullets she fired are tipped with a type of wolfsbane which poisons and nearly kills Derek.

During a later confrontation with Derek Hale in The Tell she seemed to enjoy taunting and torturing him before trying to kill him. She constantly pushed Chris Argent to act against The Alpha while her brother urged restraint as they gather more information.

The character’s dialog was rife with sexual innuendo. She made suggestive comments to Derek while torturing him and teased Scott during the family dinner in Magic Bullet.

In Formality Kate told Allison the truth about werewolves as she tortured Derek for information in hope of finding the Alpha and the other Beta. Kate and Derek were involved in a relationship similar to that of Scott and Allison. Kate told him the sex was great but that she was just using him to find and kill the rest of his pack.

In the season finale Code Breaker, Peter Hale held Kate hostage and threatened to kill Allison unless Kate apologizes for what she had done to his family. Saying Kate’s apology didn’t ring true, Peter ripped out her throat.
