The Argents are a family of gods who primarily preside over various aspects of war and the forge. Allison is young (you know, by immortal standards), but she becomes relatively important in the pantheon quickly, once it’s discovered she’s a goddess of war and justice (amoung other things; she’s really an amalgamation of Athena and Artemis).

She wasn’t around when the Hales were still alive/free, so from the start she’s been told tales of horrible wolves that would eat both mortal and immortal alike, but Kate had swooped in and saved them all by getting rid of them! So from the start, Allison hasn’t been a fan of any of the remaining Hales at all and she thought Kate was a hero.

Scott knew of Allison before he and Stiles freed Derek, mostly from Stiles sneaking them into big gatherings of gods so they could spy on them and be ridiculous. He never approached her before, until after he gets dragged kicking and screaming into the mythological clusterfuck. And, well, you know how it goes. She loves him in spite of his furry problem, has conflicted loyalties between Scott and her family, etc, etc.

[warning for some very brief, non-graphic talk of cannibalism, because somehow it always crops up in my fictional pantheons and i don’t know how this always happens to me]

I’ll probably end up making a separate drawing for Peter to talk about him, since I started writing it here but it just got too dang long. You could just read the trope for Flying Dutchman and get an idea for his story, but tl;dr he semi-recently killed Laura and stole her pelt, and he starts eating gods to gain more power so he can eventually take on the Argents.

Not long after Scott and Stiles free Derek, they realize that maybe helping A Strange and Intimidating Man They Found In A Cave is probably not a good idea, and they decide to make a break for it. Unfortunately, they get separated and Scott ends up in the path of Peter. 

Once Peter had found out about Derek being freed, he knew his time was limited. Luckily for him, the afterlife is a physical place that can be entered and presumably exited as well, though with difficulty. Peter vaguely knows of a way to create a path, which requires a physical connection to the living world. The Bite isn’t a thing that exists, but instead Peter attacks Scott and forces him to eat some of his flesh, because Peter is a completely sane individual like that.

Unfortunately for Peter the connection doesn’t take and he has to look for other candidates (give you two guesses on who those are), but like how godflesh gives power to whoever consumes it, so did Peters. After the attack, Scott found he was something more than a werewolf, but not quite the same as the Hales. Freaked out, Scott tried giving the piece of the pelt he’d had back to Derek, but no matter how many times Stiles tried sewing it into Derek’s pelt again, it wouldn’t take and would only work for Scott. Both Derek and Peter suspect that, one day in the near future, Scott would be just like them, including the strength to kill the gods.
