Show In Wolf's Bane it is revealed that The Alpha was Peter Hale. EDITOR'S NOTE: This article covers "The" Alpha Werewolf - Primary Antagonist of Season 1. For details about the general topic of Alpha Werewolves see the Werewolf page. For other uses see Alpha Werewolf.Season 1The mystery of The Alpha’s identity drove much of the story throughout Season 1. Derek Hale claims the villain is trying to build a pack. Scott would apparently be the first member if he is willing to kill with “The Alpha”. If he declines the privilege, The Alpha will kill him. According to Derek “The Alpha” is more powerful and dangerous than either he or Scott and has the power to mentally call to Scott and force him to transform into his wolf form. After the events of Heart Monitor it appears Scott and “The Alpha” share some sort of low level telepathy. “The Alpha” was kept mostly unseen in shadows until Heart Monitor when he attacked Derek. It appears to be more than seven feet tall when standing on his hind legs and almost completely wolf-like with glowing red eyes. At the end of Lunatic, we saw it transform back into a human but did not see the Alpha’s human identity. As The Alpha, Peter Hale is officially blamed for five deaths, most of his victims were directly or indirectly involved in the fire at the Hale’s home. In Pack Mentality he killed the bus driver who had been the insurance investigator that worked the arson investigation. The Video 2*C employee killed in The Tell and the two tough guys killed in Lunatic were known arsonists. Peter says he killed Laura Hale by accident before the beginning of Wolf Moon and the janitor in Night School seems to have simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time. GalleryPeter Hale, as The Alpha Werewolf, was the primary antagonist during the first season of Teen Wolf. His return from the dead was a major highlight of Season 2. BiographyPeter Hale was born into a family of werewolves and has always resented that his sister, Talia Hale, reached Alpha status in the pack, believing that place rightfully belonged to him. Even as a teenager, Peter was manipulative. He convinced his young nephew, Derek Hale, that Paige, his girlfriend, would leave him if he didn’t have her turned into a werewolf. When arsonists attacked Hale House, Peter survived while most of the family died. He was badly burned and went into a self-induced coma to heal. While he was out, Peter’s mind raced with thoughts of revenge. He blamed Talia for making the family weak and plotted to kill all the supernaturals in Beacon Hills and remake the town in his own image. Meredith Walker overheard his thoughts and would later enact this plan. (See: The Benefactor)
Teen Wolf News Quick Click Canon The Hale Arson Conspiracy Explained Six years after the fire, Peter seemed to have forgotten his plans for a new Beacon Hills. Instead, he sought revenge on the arsonists who had burned down Hale House. While seemingly still in a non-responsive state and with the aid of his nurse, Peter managed to kill his niece, Laura Hale, and take her Alpha status for himself. He began building a pack by biting Scott McCall. It was this act that eventually led to the exposure of his revenge plan and Peter’s “death” at the hands of his nephew Derek. Another bite would be his salvation. Knowing that Lydia Martin would be “immune” to the werewolf bite, Peter attacked and bit her. Through the bite, he implanted his memories into her just prior to the final showdown with Scott and Derek. Once Lydia recovered from the bite, the memories took the form of hallucinations that instructed her on the means to bring Peter back from the dead.
Teen Wolf Mystery How Peter Hale Cheated Death She found Peter’s body buried under Hale House surrounded by wolfsbane. She then used wolfsbane hidden in drinks to drug Scott and anyone else who might interfere. She collected Derek, now an Alpha, by knocking him out with wolfsbane powder and dragging him to Peter’s body. The full power of the full moon and Derek’s Alpha spark allowed Peter to heal fully. Peter claimed the return to life left him weak and he stayed near his nephew for months subtly manipulating him. Peter stayed out of a conflict with a pack of Alphas until the very end when he killed a rogue druid and declared himself “The Alpha.” Peter further insinuated himself into Scott’s group of friends by aiding in the rescue of Stiles Stilinski from possession by a Nogitsune and in the process learned that he has a daughter. He believes Talia took the memory of the baby and her mother from his mind. He is still bitter about Scott's rise to True Alpha status and wants to regain the status and power his family once enjoyed. He feels that the fire and Scott robbed him of his birthright. He resided at Eichen House in a special ward for supernatural threats until Scott and his pack rescue Lydia from Eichen House where he seized the opportunity to escape. (Amplification, Lie Ability) Later, he is taken by the Ghost Riders and was missing for three months. He and Stiles find each other and reluctantly helped each other to find a way out and slowly earns his daughter's trust and right to be called her father.
