Biography
Gerard Argent is the patriarch of the Argent family, and afeared,fearsome, bloodthirsty [[hunters|hunter]]. Gerard is [[Chris Argent|Chris]] and [[Kate Argent]]'s father, and [[Allison Argent]]'s grandfather.
Gerard had a brother named [[Alexander Argent]] who, according to Gerard himself, was Bitten by the [[alphas|Alpha werewolf]] [[Deucalion]]. Alexander committed suicide to follow the [[hunters|Hunter's Code]].
Gerard raised his children Chris and Kate to be hunters of the supernatural, to believe in the Hunters' crusade, serving his own bloodthirsty nature. His parenting and tutelage twisted and brainwashed Kate, her becoming the sociopath she is, though Chris always had a sense of morals.
When Chris was younger, one of Chris' dogs contracted rabies. Gerard shot the dog to put it out of it's misery. He iterated to his son a merciless fallacy: "Anything that dangerous, that out of control, is better off dead". When Chris was 18 years of age, Gerard had him conduct his first gun deal, a simple exchange. Gerard purposefully left out the fact the buyers were Yakuza, Japanese mafiya. He wanted to see if Chris could adapt in the heat of the situation, testing his ability to survive.
A decade or so before the series time, Gerard and Chris headed a hunt for a werewolf that had killed two of their own people. This werewolf was eventually hunted, killed and cut in half.
Some time later a message came to the Argents through [[Alan Deaton]] who was [[emissary]] to the Hale family, a prominent [[werewolf|Pack]], that the [[Alpha]] [[Deucalion]] had proposed a peace offering, to bring an end to needless violence killing between the nearby Packs and the [[Hunters]]. Three hunters who also wished for peace accompanied Gerard to meet the Pack on equal grounds in an abandoned distillery.
{{warGerard|size: medium; margin-right: 10px; float: left}}The meeting commenced. Unfortunately Gerard had planned in advance for everything to go wrong. Incapacitating both parties with knockout gas after immunizing himself, Gerard then unveiled a spiked mace he'd stored in the distillery. Using the weapon to disguise it as a murder committed by a werewolf, Gerard struck down his fellow hunters right afterward, to Deucalion's horror. Gerard mockingly replied that his comrades wanted peace too, then blamed the alpha for their deaths. The psychopathic hunter then moved on to kill Deucalion's three Betas, the came upon the weakened alpha. Making fun of Deucalion's peace proposal and taking out two flashbang arrows, Gerard gouged out Deucalion's eyes, leaving the werewolf screaming in agony.
Gerard's actions resulted in Deucalion being framed for the faux peace summit and the dark path the alpha eventually went down, instigating the werewolf-hunter war that persisted to the present.
Prior to [[Season 2]], Gerard learned he was dying of cancer. He became dependent on a medication stored in a private container. He decided the way to save himself was to receive [[alphas+the bite|the Bite]] to cure his illness. Learning of [[Kate Argent|Kate]]'s death in [[Beacon Hills, California]] and [[Derek Hale]] becoming an Alpha, Gerard made his way to the town.
