Jordan Parrish

Deputy Jordan Parrish first appeared in Season 3 of MTV's Teen Wolf.

He works for the Beacon County Sheriff's Department and is a trusted aid to Sheriff Stilinski. Parrish is shown to be possessed by a "Hellhound" in Season 5.

Deputy Parrish is played by Ryan Kelley.

History
Parrish says he moved to Beacon Hills because he felt “drawn here" and, due to high mortality rates among law enforcement, several jobs were open.

Parrish is ex-military and trained as part of a "Hazardous Device Team, meaning he dealt with bombs and explosive materials.

The young deputy has grown closer to Sheriff Stilinski in his short time on the force. The sheriff now trusts him and seeks his help with all aspects of the supernatural.

Hellhound
While disarming an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan, Parrish was injured or killed by an explosion. He survived by becoming a vessel for a Hellhound.

Parrish was originally unaware of this fact as the Hellhound could take control of Parrish's body in order to carry out its mission.

Once he became aware of his duel nature, Parrish gave into his supernatural alter ego and allowed it free reign.
