Personality
{{theoCharm|size: medium; margin-right: 10px; float: left}}Theo has a serene demeanour, being bold, charming, charismatic, intelligent and suave.
 
Like [[Peter Hale]], Theo is very skilled in using his charm, wit and good looks to get on people's good sides and have them lower their guard. He was able to convince almost the entirety of [[Scott's Pack]] that he was a rather friendly, loyal person who simply wanted entry into their pack and help them in their mission to do good and protect others.

"I mean I see why you're worried. He's really hot. He's got like great hair, perfect body." - Malia 
"I could show you how ([[shapeshifting|shapeshift]] into a full [[werecoyote|coyote]])."
"You're showing me plenty right now. -  Malia on Theo's in the buff

Theo is an utter sociopath, trickster, and a liar. Having killed his sister when he was a child, easily betraying [[Scott's Pack]] by killing [[Scott McCall|Scott]], leaving [[Sheriff Noah Stilinski|the Sheriff]] for dead and crippling [[Lydia Martin|Lydia]] after they'd all accepted him as one of their own with praise and trust, and murdering [[Tracy Stewart|Tracy]] his most loyal Pack member, all for his self gain, Theo has no conscience. He has no guilt, care nor remorse for the consequences of his actions.
 
Calculating, cunning and patient, Theo is skilled in duplicity, seduction, is a corrupting influence and an expert manipulator. He is capable of perfectly feigning, fabricating emotion such as grief for his older sister and euphoria so effectively that he can trick werecreatures. Theo will take geat pains and efforts to charm then align himself with anyone so long as he gets what he wants then will happily betray them .
 
Self-absorbed, entitled and narcissistic, Theo simply looks out for only his own interests, is power-hungry and is an opportunist awaiting a chance to make a name for himself at any cost. Theo believes that embracing the darkness, being a monster makes one strong, worthy and capable of survival. Despite being generally calm, collected and smug, Theo has an inferiority complex due to his non-supernatural [[Chimera]] status, is prone to losing his temper when his plans fail and will kill anyone who gets in his way in petty vengeance.
 
Biography
Theodore "Theo" was born in [[Beacon Hills, California]] to his parents, Johnathan Raeken and his wife and his older sister. Theo soon became disturbed enough that he was a sociopath.
 
In the 4th grade, Theo was classmates with [[Scott McCall|Scott]] and [[Stiles Stilinski|Stiles]]. At some point in time, Theo came into contact with [[the Dread Doctors]]. The para-scientists enlisted him to be part of their experiments to transform him into a new supernatural creature made from a mix of science and magic. Theo acceeded to their proposition. Unbeknownst to him, the Doctors chose him simply because of his sociopathy, believing he was an ideal candidate for being the perfect evil.
 
{{yngTheo|size: large; margin-left: 15px; float: right}}Because he needed to be a genetic chimera for the experiment, Theo decided to murder his sister whom he found annoying for always looking out for him and he would take an organ from her corpse for the conversion.
 
One night during the coldest time of the year, when Theo was nine, he ensured his sister ended up lost in the [[Beacon Hills Preserve]] and she would arrive at the wooden bridge by the river. Theo then arranged for his sibling's leg would be broken and she fell off the bridge into the freezing water.

Theo's sister (shivering in agony): "... Theo..."
Theo: (Looks down at her without emotion) " ... "

Soon she died of hypothermia and exposure. 
 
Theo's parents learned of her death from Theo who'd "found her body" and the family moved away from Beacon Hills soon afterwards.
 
{{yngTheo2|size: large; margin-right: 15px; float: left}}Theo ensured his sister's heart was kept viable via the cold weather. The Dread Doctors then proceeded to transplant the organ into him so to give him genetic chimerism. The Doctors then performed the procedure on Theo, then the paranormal transformation took place. Theo became a new creature of the supernatural, a hybrid of both a [[werewolf]] and a [[werecoyote]]. He soon exhibited many traits of both species, which deffied all the set rules of the supernatural.
 
Theo learned from the Doctors they only came close to succeeding with him to his disappointment, feeling entitled in being truly unique and powerful. He had no idea what being an true success for their works entailed at the time. His transformation however was a turning point for their research.
 
Theo then became an agent for the para-scientists. As he grew older, Theo immediately immersed himself in the supernatural world, learning everything he could while serving the Doctors, living the life of a criminal and always got away with whatever he wanted.
 
Theo was dissatisfied with being a "cheap knockoff" to a real supernatural creature and strived to find a way to become a true, complete shapeshifter, become an [[Alphas|Alpha]], as well as acquire a Pack of servants for himself.
 
Theo learned the Dread Doctors were on their way back to Beacon Hills to begin a new pool of experimentation. He'd heard of the stories of a [[True Alpha]], the leader of a unique, diverse Pack, Scott McCall, whom he knew from grade school. This Pack had also taken up the task of protecting the town from the supernatural. Theo decided to also return to Beacon Hills whilst making a deal with the Doctors. He would arrange for Scott to die and he'd keep him and his Pack out of their way. In return, they would work with him so Theo could gain a Pack so he could become an Alpha with all the supernatural perks of a genuine werewolf. He'd decided he would accomplish this by taking Scott's True Alpha power and Pack for himself.
