Chris Argent

Chris Argent is one of the main antagonistic characters of Teen Wolf and is played by JR Bourne.

Chris is the father of Allison Argent with his late wife Victoria Argent and is brother of Kate Argent.

Season 1
His sole motivation seems to be to protect Allison from the family's hunting activities.

The Argent’s history and motive for hunting werewolves is unclear but it is clearly a long-standing tradition in the family.

Despite acts of intimidation with Derek Hale and violence against Scott McCall, Chris has not actually killed a werewolf on the show.

He seems to enjoy taunting Derek but ordered his sister not to kill him as they needed him to help them track down the Alpha.

While it appears that he is in control of the hunters, his sister does not seem to obey him. In The Tell, she initiated a direct confrontation with Derek and attempted to kill him.

In Wolf's Bane he and the other hunters began gunning for Derek after Scott blamed him for the murders and the events in Night School.

In Formality he finds out Scott is the wanted beta from a drunk Jackson. Then he and another hunter attempt to run him over. But Scott jumps on the front of both cars, causing him to transform.

In the season finale, he yells at Kate for telling Allison their family tradition, and sends her Washington along with his daughter. He interrogates Stiles to find out where Scott is. Instead he finds out his sister broke their hunting code and set the Hale House on fire, killing innocent people in the process. He heads to the house, finding Kate prepared to shoot Scott and confronts her about what she has done. He threatens to kill her if she doesn’t put the gun down, she does. However the Alpha, Peter Hale, attacks and kills Kate anyway. Later he is seen talking to his wife, Victoria Argent about what to do next, and lets out that he isn't the only one Scott has to worry about.
