Series
Kate Argent is [[Allison Argent]]'s aunt, [[Chris Argent]]'s sister and a member of the [[Hunters|Argent clan of hunters]]. Prior to the series, Kate orchestrated the [[Hale House+The Fire|Hale House fire]], burning the Hales' pack and family alive, murdering innocent [[werewolf|werewolves]], including children and human members, breaking the Hunter's code. In [[Season 1]], Kate arrives in [[Beacon Hills, California|Beacon Hills]], accompanies her family in hunting [[Peter Hale]], a lethal [[alphas|Alpha]] [[werewolf]]. She lures Allison into discovering the supernatural and manipulates her into hunting [[Derek Hale]] and [[Scott McCall]] planning to kill them, but her role in the arson is exposed. Kate is then killed by Peter Hale in revenge for massacring his family. The [[alphas+transformation|transformation]] however, is set in motion by Peter's claws, and so Kate gradually comes back to life as a new [[werejaguar]]. She then becomes a quarry of the [[calaveras|Calavera family]], then takes control of two [[berserkers]]. In [[Season 4]], Kate uses her berserkers to assault [[Scott's Pack]], tracks [[the Benefactor]] and accepts a deal with Peter to have Scott killed in petty vengeance for the disbanding of her family and Allison's death. She transforms Scott into a new berserker to have him kill his friends and vice versa to this end, but Peter intends to betray her. Scott's pack and allies launch an all out attack against Kate, then she is defeated by Derek and Chris, her berserkers are destroyed and the plan fails, so Kate goes on the run.
 
Personality
Kate is portrayed as sassy, vivacious and has a carefree, sultry swagger to her. She behaves more like an older sister than an authority figure to her niece, Allison.
 
As a result of her racist upbringing and training in the Argent family, under her cold-hearted father, [[Gerard Argent|Gerard]], Kate is tough and fearless, but also extremely sadistic and psychopathic. A trained hunter, she is immensely bloodthirsty, deadly and cruel. She takes great pleasure in hunting, torturing, and killing any werecreature she comes across without restraint, whether or not they were innocent. She is remorseless over her crimes, and revels in the carnage she's committed. Kate shares Gerard's view that all supernaturals should be just put down.

"I did what I was told to do."
"No one asked you to murder innocent people ... children ... ones who were human. You're holding a gun at a sixteen-year-old boy. With no proof he spilled human blood!!" - Kate and Chris

Like her father Gerard, Kate is a selfish manipulator, willing to use her family, Allison her niece, so to use for her own needs.
 
Being rife with sexual innuendo, Kate is also a pedophile,ephebophile, willing to take any chance to use her sexuality,charm herand lecherousnesssexuality to her advantage, having seduced Derek Hale while he was a teenager in her intention to use him so to get close to his family.
 
Biography
Katherine 'Kate' Argent is [[Allison Argent]]'s aunt, [[Chris Argent]]'s younger sister, and the daughter of [[Gerard Argent]].
 
Six years prior to the series, in her early-twenties, Kate came across a young [[Derek Hale]] in [[Beacon Hills, California]], where a prominent [[Werewolf|Pack of werewolves]], the Hale family, lived.
 
Kate seduced Derek, luring him into a physical relationship. In doing so, she gathered intel on the Hales. Later on, with a number of hired hands, Kate set fire to the [[Hale House]], murdering most of Derek's family and got away with it.
 
Kate wanted Allison to know her family's history and crusade. When [[Peter Hale|the Alpha Werewolf]] began murdering people back in Beacon Hills, Kate, hoping to cover up any probable evidence connecting her to the fire, called her brother and came into town.
