Series
The [[alphas|alpha]] [[werewolf]] called Deucalion, prior to the series, was the lead alpha of his [[canine werecreatures|pack]], allies with [[Talia Hale]],of the Hale pack, and [[Marin Morrell]] served as his [[druid+emissary|emissary]]. He once sought peace and a better future between hunters and werecreatures, but was betrayed, framed, then blinded by [[Gerard Argent]]. Eventually, he turned power-hungry and ruthless, killing all of his pack, subsuming all their power. Over the years, Deucalion formed a new pack comprised only of alphas for his new cause, including similarly augmented alphas [[Kali]], [[Ennis]], then later [[the twins]]. In [[Season 3]], Deucalion is the leader of his Alpha Pack whom are present in [[Beacon Hills, California]] targeting the supernatural members supposedly intending to recruit [[Derek Hale]]. His actual plan is to acquire [[Scott McCall]], the most unique of [[canine werecreatures]], a [[True Alpha]]. To this end, Deucalion employs his alphas to gain leverage on Scott's [[Scott's Pack|allies]], orchestrates a plan of assault against Derek, while simultaneously manipulating them, betraying and killing Ennis. He and his pack then redirect their attention to the [[darach]], [[Jennifer Blake]] whom is committing [[human sacrifices]] in a move against him. He finally draws Scott into fighting Jennifer with him as pack members. In the three-way struggle between Deucalion himself, the Darach, and Scott and Derek's allies, he is finally defeated but gains his sight back due to Derek and Jennifer's actions. Deucalion witnesses Scott's rise to True Alpha, is reminded of humanity, aligning with Scott and saving the lives of the Darach's final sacrifices. He is spared by Scott and Derek on the condition he redeem himself. Deucalion honors his reprieve and reforms, paying the mercenary [[Braeden]] to rescue Derek from captivity by the [[Calaveras]]. In [[Season 5]], Deucalion is tracked down, captured by the [[chimera]] [[Theo Raeken]] and his pack of chimeras amongst the carnage caused by [[the Dread Doctors]] and the resurrected [[La Bete du Gevaudan|Beast of Gevaudan]]. He puts himself out as having resumed his villainy and is blinded again, casting a vendetta against Scott. Theo wishes Deucalion teach him how to steal the beast 's power, and in return he'll help him get revenge on Scott. He shows Theo the secret to steal the power from another. It is revealed that Deucalion had in truth sabotaged Theo having been working with Scott all along to chip away Theo's hold over the chimeras and pay off his debt to Scott.
Personality
{{dukePast|size: medium; margin-right: 10px; float: left}}As the head of his original pack, Deucalion was a capable leader, being decisive, strong-willed, level-headed and had a believe in humanity and diplomacy. He positively believed that the hunter clans and werecreatures could put their past and mutual vendettas behind them, hoping for a better future and promote peace. He was however, naïve in thinking he could appeal to the dastardly [[Gerard Argent]].
A victim of betrayal, loss, physical and emotional injury, and on top of everything, corruption, Deucalion changed, heading down a dark path.
As leader of [[the Alpha Pack]], Deucalionisbecame narcissistic, ruthless, obsessive and above all, power-hungry. He is proud and diabolical to the last detail. Deucalion is a charismatic leader, but also a manipulator skilled in planting then bringing out the darkness in people, i.e. shedding them of their humanity, turning them into killers. He has an eloquent cutting intelligence as he is a mastermind capable of orchestrating tactical plans of physical and emotional assaults against the most formidable of enemies to ensure his authority goes unchallenged. Deucalion will kill anyone in his way, even his own, to further his personal agenda.
After having his sight restored, thanks to Derek outwitting the Darach, and being spared by both Scott and Derek, Deucalion has reformed as he pays back both Derek and Scott back by hiring [[Braeden]] to rescue Derek from the Calavera hunters and sabotaging [[Theo Raeken]] respectively. He remains a masterful actor as he convinces Theo of his apparent returned dastardedness that he wishes to take Scott out, undermines Theo's hold over his pack and successfully convinces Theo that he's rendered helpless whilst being held hostage.
Powers and abilities
Deucalion speaks with a British accent. He wields a four-section cane that doubles as a dagger and a spear.
Deucalion, the lead alpha werewolf in a pack of alphas has exhibited the pinacle of a [[werewolf]]'s power. His [[werewolf+abilities|super-strength, speed]], abilities and shapeshifting are unequaled. Though he's blind, Deucalion is actually able to see with [[Senses+vision|his werewolf eyes]]. His defeat at the end of [[Season 3|Season 3A]] and the loss of his pack severely broke his power, but his eyesight is restored by [[healing power|Jennifer Blake's magic]].
Biography
Deucalion became an [[alphas|alpha]] [[werewolf]] by 1977. According to [[Gerard Argent]], he had [[alphas+the bite|bitten]] a [[hunters|hunter]] from the Argent family, [[Alexander Argent]].
{{dukePre|size: large; margin-left: 20px; float: right}}Ten years or so before the series, Deucalion was the alpha of his Pack and his [[Druid|Emissary]] was [[Marin Morrell|Marin Morrell]].
Deucalion and a delegation of his pack, including a volatile [[betas|beta]] Marco, arrived in [[Beacon Hills, California|Beacon Hills]] at the behest of a neighbouring alpha, Ennis, for aid against the [[hunters|Argent family of hunters]]. While prepared for the worst, Deucalion reasoned with Ennis for the Argents' killing his beta due to their motive that his wolf savaged and killed two of their people.
Deucalion proposed the idea, concept of peace with the [[hunters]] to the renowned alpha [[Talia Hale]]. He urgently pleaded Ennis not to send a message for vendetta, reasoning a war between the two powers will not end "at an eye for an eye", and in the end the packs will end up no better than their enemies. Ennis refused to listen, carving the spiral into the wall of an [[abandoned distillery]], declaring revenge.
Deucalion, wishing to avoid further bloodshed, pushed further for his peace proposal, seeking out Talia and her [[emissary]] [[Alan Deaton|Alan Deaton]]'s guidance before a meeting with [[Gerard Argent]]. Whilst Deaton admired his willingness to extend an olive branch, they both advised him against it, saying Gerard may not be the person to accept it, because of his bloodthirsty nature. They demanded however, he meet the hunters on equal grounds.
{{blindDuke|size: large; margin-right: 20px; float: left}}Deucalion arranged the meeting, accompanied by three of his pack, meeting with Gerard and his own men in the distillery. Once both parties met, the meeting commenced. Right then, Gerard betrayed Deucalion, ambushing not just the pack, but also his own hunters, incapacitating everyone with gas. With everyone at his mercy, Gerard revealed a spiked mace. He first beat down his own hunters, slaughtering them. Deucalion is horrified, aghast at Gerard's actions: "(His) own people". Gerard replied they wanted peace too, then framed the alpha for their deaths. Gerard then killed off Deucalion's pack members. The weakened alpha crawled out of the distillery, trying to escape. Gerard came upon him, Deucalion pleaded for mercy, saying he had a vision of peace. Gerard mocked him, then plunged two flashbang arrows into the alpha's eyes, leaving Deucalion screaming in pain.
With Deaton's assistance, Deucalion's eyes healed, but his sight didn't return. The alpha was broken, enraged, demoralized at Gerard's monstrosity and his failure. At that moment, Marco, believing the blinded alpha wasn't fit to lead anymore, and hinted at being furious over their loss, told the older wolf he was alone, moved in to kill him and take over. Deucalion, [[werewolf+transformation|partially shifting]], realized he could still see with his [[Senses+vision|werewolf vision]]. He reacted quickly, snarling, then viciously mauled and killed his treacherous beta.
{{darkDuke|size: large; margin-left: 20px;float: right}}Deucalion later discovered, as a result of killing Marco, [[Alphas+Homicide Absorption|the latter's power was added to his own]]. The entire experience corrupted the alpha, sending him down an dark path. He sought a new way for werewolves to evolve: by establishing absolute dominance, and perfect power.
Along the way, Deucalion went on to murder the rest of his pack, subsuming all of their powers. Deucalion then wished to assemble the "perfect pack", one which consisted of wolves only of [[alphas|alpha status]], with himself as leader. Months later, he'd recruited fellow alphas [[Ennis]] and [[Kali]] to his new violent cause, assembling [[the Alpha Pack]]. In order to become one of his pack, they'd had to kill all of their previous pack to absorb their power, as well as their [[emissary]]. Overtime this new pack became the most feared and dominant from all around, and Deucalion, for his heinous legacy, came to be known as "the Demon Wolf"[[3x04 - Unleashed|+]][[3x08 - Visionary|+]][[3x12 - Lunar Ellipse|+]].
Later on, Deucalion came across a set of twins, [[The Twins|Ethan and Aiden]] both of [[Omegas|omega status]] staying with an infamous pack, all of whom were killers. He sought the the twins due to their ability to merge. He taught them how to control the talent, and after the two killed their way up the pack and killed their alpha both rising to alpha status, they joined Deucalion's pack out of repentance[[3x09 - The Girl Who Knew Too Much|+]].
Prior to the end [[Season 2]], Deucalion's pack had arrived in Beacon Hills, were contacted overtime by [[Marin Morrell|Marin Morrell]] to serve as their [[Emissary]], and having taken notice of [[Derek Hale]]'s rise to alpha status. The lead alpha however, took notice of [[Scott McCall]], becoming aware the young beta had the potential to be a [[True Alpha]].
Deucalion's Pack then cornered a lone [[Erica Reyes|Erica]] and [[Vernon Boyd|Boyd]], and captured them to use in their plans for Derek[[2x12 - Master Plan|+]].
