The Pike
{{pike|size: medium; margin-right: 10px; float: left}}The pike is a mystical weapon forged in eighteenth century France. The pike was crafted by the hunter [[Marie-Jeanne Valet]] and Henri Argent, a young man well versed in the supernatural, specifically to slay the most savage werewolf that ever lived. Sebastien Valet or [[la Bete du Gevaudan]].
 
Marie-Jeanne and Henri conducted a druidic blood ritual to forge the pike. The steel of the weapon was forged out of [[wolfsbane]], [[mountain ash]] and Marie-Jeanne's blood, under the light of a [[full moon]]. Once fully forged, the pike was preternaturally lethal to La Bete, due to his being Marie-Jeanne's blood relative, her own brother.
 
In 1767, Marie-Jeanne finally tracked down La Bete, then speared the super-powered werewolf through the chest with the pike eventually killing La Bete. The pike later came to be in the possession of [[the Surgeon|Marcel]], Sebastien's devoted comrade.
 
InThe the series' present day, the pike havingwas been kept by Marcel in his guise as the Surgeon throughout the centuries, and by the series present had been reforged into a sword, disguised as a cane. In [[Season 5]], when [[the Dread Doctors]] began their experimentation, abducting and producing the [[chimeras]] the surgeon would usually use the pike to kill off the chimeras and they died instantly.
