He was a hunter so its safe to say they recruit from outside of the family. I believe that there are many factions of hunters prolly headed by a single house. The hunters weve seen so far have been headed by the argent house. This is merely speculation but i believe shang sung "the asian guy who tells chris to kill his own daughter" might be the the head of another house of hunters. Also idk i believe Chris had an old fashioned sense of the code and that the way Kate and Gerard are is probably the most prevalent way werewolves are dealt with now. I just see it over generations the more they better they become at killing and the more they demonize the wolves they start to enjoy it.

True, but most of the non-Argent Hunters we have seen so far appear to count as "thugs" more than anything else. They were also all men (unless I am remembering wrong). So they could be from Hunter families, or they could be just recruits. The black guy that was killed by the Kanima was apparently one of the kids that was at the pool party where Matt nearly drowned. That indicates that he lived in Beacon Hills at least as a high schooler, and we have seen no other Hunter families in town besides the Argent's. So it seems more likely that he was recruited into the Hunters as a foot soldier rather than being raised as one.

The Argent's seem to be set apart somewhat, including such things as still having a strong identification with their French heritage. Again, we could use some detail here. But apparently expecting it constitutes "whining". True but thats what i mean the argents are the head family for that group pretty much the Officers. Can't really discount them as thugs because were never really allowed to get to know them all that much. As for the black kid remember the argents had been in beacon hills ever since Derek was in like middle school early highschool. I doubt all those guys were members of the argent family as Gerard only ever acts like he cares when Kate dies and only really seems to listen to Chris as an equal. So he could have been raised a hunter under one of the families under the argent house. Thats where i think Chris's wife comes into play. She was obviously raised in the hunters ways but shes not an argent which means she was probably brought up under one of the families that the argents led. Just my speculation though.
