Biography
Agent McCall is estranged from his son for an unknown length of time. Scott mentions once during Pack Mentality that he was living with his father at a time when he was old enough to ride the bus to school.
McCall was a heavy drinker judging by a story he told about coming home drunk and mistaking the closet for the toilet. He explained to Scott that drinking was his way of coping with his job, the sacrifices that came with it like killing people when necessary. According to Elias Stilinski, he also cheated on Melissa more than once.
One night, he came home drunk and got into an argument with Melissa. Scott was accidentally knocked down the stairs. He came to with no memory of the incident. It was the last time his father took a drink but the damage was done. Melissa kicked him out and the couple filed for divorce. While he was free to visit with Scott, he opted to leave Beacon Hills out of guilt for hurting his son.
Years later, he returned to Beacon Hills in light of all the recent murders to find the killer. He also uses this as an excuse to try rebuild his relationship with his son. Eventually, he is called back to San Francisco to file a report but promises to return and expect an explanation of the strange things going on at home.
He returned to Beacon Hills to deescalate the situation between the Hunters and Scott's Pack having been informed of his son's werewolf nature. Despite trying to keep Scott out of it, he helped out anyway he could until an attack the McCall House left him wounded.
