ā€œ I'm coming for my friends. I'm coming for everyone. I won't stop. I'll never stop until we get everyone back. ā€
ā€” Scott to one of the Ghost Riders in Heartless


Scott McCall is the titular character and main protagonist of the Teen Wolf series. He is the son of Melissa McCall and Special Agent Rafael McCall and was formerly a senior at Beacon Hills High School prior to graduating and being accepted as a pre-veterinary student at the University of California-Davis.

Before being bitten by then-Alpha Peter Hale in Wolf Moon, Scott was asthmatic, unpopular, and a "benchwarmer" on the high school lacrosse team. However, once he was bitten and successfully turned into a Beta Werewolf, Scott developed superhuman strength, speed, agility, healing, and senses, along with the ability to shapeshift his features into that of a wolf. Despite the aggression and violence that often comes with lycanthropy, Scott strives to embrace his humanity, and with the help of his best friend Stiles Stilinski and his now-deceased former girlfriend Allison Argent, he was able to build his own pack, which eventually became known for being one of the most unique and powerful packs in the Teen Wolf universe.

Scott's virtue and compassion, due in part to the support of his pack, allowed him to rise to the rare rank of True Alpha by his own force of will. Throughout the series, Scott and his pack have dealt with all manner of trauma and struggles, including fighting battles against assassins, hunters, a Darach, an Alpha Pack, Oni demons, a Nogitsune, Chimeras, and the Dread Doctors, among many other foes, events that frequently caused them harm and/or death. Scott had a romantic relationship with Kira Yukimura, a Thunder Kitsune which ended due to the deal she made with the Skinwalkers to leave Beacon Hills for Shiprock, New Mexico to train with them. In the second half of Season 6, Scott developed a romantic relationship with his longtime friend, the Werecoyote Malia Tate. As of the end of the series, Scott and Malia have remained each other's romantic partners.

Scott has amassed not only a fairly diverse pack of supernatural creatures but also a network of supportive allies as well, all of whom have proven themselves willing to risk their lives to fight for his cause as a result of his track record for beating insurmountable odds against powerful supernatural and human enemies.

Scott is the Alpha of the McCall Pack and works alongside his mentor Dr. Alan Deaton at the Beacon Hills Animal Clinic. He is also a member of the McCall Family.

Early Life

Scott was born in 1994 to Melissa McCall, a nurse at Beacon Hills Memorial Hospital, and Rafael McCall, a special agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigations. Scott was afflicted with asthma from a young age, which only became more severe as he got older. When he was in elementary school, his alcoholic father got drunk one night and got into a fight with Melissa, and when Scott came out into the hall, he grabbed Scott by the wrist to force him back into his room. When Scott reflexively pulled away from him, he was accidentally pushed down the stairs by Rafael, a fall which knocked him unconscious for twenty seconds or so.

Afterward, Scott didn't remember a thing, but Melissa was so furious that she ordered Rafael to leave. She only intended to throw a drunk man out of the house, but, in time, Rafael became so ashamed that he left the family completely. (("Insatiable")), (("The Divine Move")) Though Scott did spend some time living with Rafael at first, he eventually moved back in with his mother, and Rafael discontinued his contact with Scott and Melissa before moving to San Francisco to work at their FBI field office, an act for which Scott resented him until he reached high school. (("The Tell"))

When Scott was a young child, he was taking his small dog Roxie for a walk when the two were attacked by a rabid doberman. The stress of the event caused Scott to have such a severe asthma attack that he was sent to the hospital, and his dog ultimately died from her injuries. For some unknown reason, this memory became repressed in his mind, either because of how traumatic it was or because the Dread Doctors suppressed it. Regardless, he did not gain the memory back until the autumn of 2012, when Scott read The Dread Doctors novel by Gabriel Valack, a tool to trigger repressed memories in hopes of finding out if they had done anything to him. (("Required Reading"))

Being raised by a single mother for most of his childhood, Scott saw how hard Melissa had to work to keep the household running, so when he was old enough, he began working as a veterinary technician at Dr. Alan Deaton's animal clinic to make extra money. Once he entered high school, Scott joined the lacrosse team with his best friend of many years, Stiles Stilinski, though they rarely ever saw any game play due to their lack of athletic prowess. (("Wolf Moon"))

Throughout Teen Wolf

In Wolf Moon, Scott and his best friend Stiles went into the Beacon Hills Nature Preserve after Stiles heard on the police radio that half of the body of a dead young woman had been found in the woods, and they wanted to find it before the police did. However, when they ran into Sheriff Stilinski and his deputies, they were forced to split up, which allowed Scott, who had dropped his inhaler onto the forest floor and was distracted by his search for it, to be bitten by a large, monstrous Werewolf with glowing red eyes, though it happened so fast that he believed it was a real wolf. The next day, Scott went to school, only to find he has developed strange side effects such as superhuman senses, strength, and agility. After school, when Stiles and Scott went back to the woods to go retrieve his lost inhaler, Stiles joked that Scott had become a Werewolf before they ran into Derek Hale, who looked at Scott suspiciously before reminding them that they were on private property, scaring the two teens into leaving in the process, though not before Derek tossed Scott his lost inhaler.

Even more concerning was the fact that his wound had completely healed by the time he made it to work at the animal clinic that evening. Right as he was closing up, the new girl at school, Allison Argent, arrived in tears after she had hit a dog with her car. Scott was able to unconsciously quiet the scared animal with his newly-gained powers, and even got the courage to ask her out as his date to Lydia Martin's party after the lacrosse scrimmage, which Allison accepted. Scott was ecstatic about his date plans, but Stiles, who had done some research into Scott's recent symptoms, realized that Scott had truly been turned into a Werewolf. Scott, unhappy that Stiles was ruining his good mood, lost control of his new lycanthropy due to the impending full moon and almost attacked Stiles, causing him to leave in embarrassment and shame with a short apology. Sure enough, that night at the party, the full moon appeared overhead and caused Scott so much pain and fear that he abandoned Allison at the party and ran home, where he quickly began to transform into a Werewolf.

Scott, realizing Derek had something to do with it, managed to inform Stiles about it before he fully changed, but when Stiles told him that Derek had taken Allison home, Scott jumped out the window to save her. He followed Allison's scent into the woods with his new senses, where he eventually found Derek with Allison's jacket, which he had used to lure Scott there. Before Scott could argue any further, he was blinded by flash-bang arrows and subsequently hit with a real arrow that went through his arm and pinned him to a tree. A trio of male Hunters appeared, forcing Derek to incapacitate them long enough to free Scott and flee with him. Once they made it to safety, Scott blamed Derek for turning him into a Werewolf, which Derek did not deny-- he simply explained that the Bite was a gift, and that they were brothers now because of their shared lycanthropy.

The next morning, Stiles picked Scott up at the preserve and drove him home, during which time he promised Scott that he'd help him get through his new condition. However, when Scott arrived to school on Monday, he had an awkward run-in with Allison in which he admitted that he had no excuse for what happened Friday night, though she did not seem very upset about it. Just then, Allison waved to a man behind them who Scott recognized as one of the hunters who shot him during the full moon. Allison explained that he is her father, Chris Argent, and Scott began to panic.

In Second Chance at First Line, Scott continued to struggle with controlling his lycanthropy, particularly when he lost his temper or when his heart rate began to race, such as when he was scared or playing lacrosse. While he grappled with the decision over whether or not he should quit the team as a result of it, he was pressured about his choices on all sides; Queen mean-girl Lydia Martin insisted that he stay on the team, since her popularity depended on her dating the captain of the star-lacrosse team, whereas Derek argued that Scott had to quit because if he shifted on the field, he would risk exposing the entire Werewolf community.

Derek's aggressive behavior caused Scott to become suspicious about his involvement in the murder of the bisected woman in the woods, especially when he smelled the dead body on the Hale property. He and Stiles returned to the ruins of the Hale House to investigate after Derek left, where they found half of a wolf buried inside a spiral made of rope and wolfsbane. When they removed the wolfsbane, the half-wolf turned into the upper half of the bisected woman from the woods, and Scott and Stiles determined that Derek must have killed her, leading them to inform Sheriff Stilinski about what they had found. Scott then went straight to the Argent House, where he jumped down from the roof just as Chris was pulling into the driveway, causing Chris to accidentally hit him. However, Scott shrugged the injuries off, and Allison was so appalled by what Chris had done that the older man was too embarrassed to question it further.

The next night, Scott went against Derek's instructions and played in the game anyway, and though he did begin to transform on the field, he was able to rush off before anyone became suspicious. Allison followed him into the locker room, but arrived just after Scott regained control, allowing him to keep his secret. He admitted to her that she made him nervous, and the two kissed, which marked the start of their romantic relationship. Once Allison left, Stiles approached Scott and informed him that the woman buried on Derek's property was Derek's sister Laura, and that the autopsy revealed that she had been killed by an animal, which forced the Sheriff's department to release Derek from jail.

In Pack Mentality, after Scott had a nightmare in which he wolfed-out and brutally murdered Allison, he immediately went to school to talk to Stiles about his concerns that it might be real. Upon arriving in the parking lot, Scott and Stiles come upon a bloody crime scene in the bus bay, causing Scott to become even more convinced that he might have actually murdered her in the night, though he eventually found her alive and well, leaving him confused as to what really happened. While in chemistry class, Scott, Stiles, and his classmates saw a visibly traumatized and mauled man being loaded into an ambulance from the crime scene, and Scott, desperate for answers, decided to go to see Derek after school to see what he had to say.

At lunch, Scott and Stiles were joined by Allison, Jackson, Lydia, and Danny, where they all speculated about what happened to the man. When Stiles found a news alert on his phone about the attack, he informed the group that the victim was Garrison Myers, who Scott recognized as being his bus driver when he was still living with his father. Lydia then changed the subject to Allison and Scott's date the next night and invited herself and Jackson along to make it a double date. When Lydia suggested that they go bowling, Jackson made a rude comment about hating playing against people who weren't good, and Scott (who, like Allison, was clearly not fond of the idea of going out with Jackson and Lydia but who also didn't want to look bad in front of them) insisted that he was a good bowler before agreeing to the date.

After lunch, Stiles immediately called Scott out on his lie and reminded him that he is terrible at bowling, which Scott acknowledged before they began to discuss their current issues, such as Scott's difficulty controlling his lycanthropy and the various attacks in Beacon Hills. Afterward, Scott went to work at the animal clinic, where he apologized to Dr. Deaton for his tardiness, though Deaton was quick to remind him that being two minutes late is not a big deal. Shortly afterward Sheriff Stilinski arrived with one of his search dogs from the K9 unit, which caused Scott to worry that Stilinski had made a connection between Scott and Garrison Myers. Scott watched as Sheriff gave Deaton a file on the victims to see if he had any idea what could have attacked Garrison and Laura Hale, and became even more nervous as Deaton explained how a wolf would attack a person.

Once his shift ended at work, Scott went to the Hale House, hiding in the nearby nature preserve until the Sheriff's deputies who were checking on the house had left. He then loudly shouted that he knew Derek was listening and apologized for mistakenly accusing him of murder and for essentially outing his presence to the Argent Hunters before asking him for his help. Derek finally came out onto the porch and pointed out that Scott didn't want his help, he wanted to know what he did, leading Scott to realize that Derek knew about the attack at the high school. Derek informed him that he could help Scott learn control over his lycanthropy, but that it wouldn't come for free; when Scott asked him what it would cost, Derek said they would settle it later, and that for now, he would give him what he wanted-- to know what he had done the previous night. He instructed Scott on how to use his enhanced senses at the crime scene to let his body remember what his mind couldn't.

That night, Scott and Stiles drove to the crime scene in the high school bus bay, where Scott left Stiles to keep watch while he went into the bus to trigger his memories, much to Stiles' protests. While in the bus, Scott's memories of his nightmare transformed into his true memories of what really happened on the bus-- the Werewolf who bit him had called Scott to the bus and had attacked Garrison Myers in hopes that Scott would help him, but instead, Scott fought the Werewolf, causing a great deal of his blood to be left at the scene when he was clawed across the chest. This led Scott to mistakenly believe that Derek was the other Werewolf and had known what happened the entire time before he was forced to flee the bus and return to the Jeep. When he told Stiles about what he had figured out, Stiles questioned Scott on why Derek would teach him to trigger his repressed memories if those memories would out him as a murderer, but despite these questions, Scott continued to believe that Derek was the killer. He did, however, take relief in the fact that he wasn't the killer and that he could go on the date with Allison without concern that his presence would put her in danger.

The next night, Scott, Allison, Lydia, and Jackson went to the bowling alley for their double date, where Jackson wasted no time making rude comments about Scott's lack of prowess at the game while Lydia purposely pretended to be bad at bowling, both to make Jackson feel better and so she could have an excuse to ask for Scott's assistance. Allison, feeling badly for Scott and wanting to throw Jackson's comments back into his face, suggested that Scott focus on thinking about her naked to calm his nerves, allowing Scott to activate his Werewolf powers just enough to get a strike, a streak that would last through the rest of the game. Jackson became increasingly sullen throughout the game at the revelation of Scott's new bowling skills, and Lydia, now even more attracted to Scott, tried to get him to "teach" her how to bowl better, which he declined in favor of staying with Allison. Scott, Allison, and Jackson were all stunned when Lydia then took her turn with perfect form, revealing that she had simply been playing dumb this whole time.

Later, Scott approached Jackson in the arcade and complimented him on his pinball skills before pointing out that even though he knows that neither of them want to be there, they don't have to hate each other. Jackson, annoyed, replied that he didn't hate Scott; he simply didn't believe him when he said that he just suddenly got good at everything. He went on to say that he had no idea if he was on steroids or "something weirder," but he had not given up on his mission to find out what Scott's deal was, and that he knew that whatever it was, Scott didn't want Allison to know. With the excitement having died down, Scott took Allison home, walking her to her door and kissing her before Allison remarked that she wasn't fond of group dates and that next time, they should go out alone. Scott wholeheartedly agreed with her and kissed her once again before letting her sneak back into her house.

However, Scott soon learned from Stiles that Garrison Myers had died of his wounds at the hospital and became so furious that he immediately returned to the Hale House to confront Derek. He accused Derek of having finished Garrison off and having killed his own sister, but Derek insisted that Garrison died on his own before angrily retorting that his sister was killed by Hunters so that she could be used as bait to catch him. Not believing him, Scott tackled him and threw him through one of the walls in the downstairs part of the Hale ruins, which Derek proclaimed to be "cute" before transforming into a werewolf for the first time in the series, giving Scott a serious beating before finally coming clean to Scott about what was really going on-- both Derek and Scott were Beta werewolves, and the more monstrous Werewolf who bit Scott and who appeared in his dream was an Alpha, the most powerful of their kind and the only Werewolves who can actually turn a human into a fellow wolf. Derek then insisted that since Scott was the one the Alpha wanted, Derek couldn't find and kill him without Scott's help, much to Scott's shock and horror.

In Magic Bullet, Scott was once again called out of bed in the middle of the night by the Alpha howling, causing Scott to sneak out of the house and track them down. He eventually stumbled upon the Alpha, a shadowy figure (later revealed to be Derek), and a mysterious woman downtown, with Derek chasing after the Alpha and the woman chasing after both of them. Scott was then shocked to see the woman shoot Derek with her sniper rifle just before Chris Argent showed up to pick her up. He overheard Kate informing Chris that the Beta she shot would be dead within 48 hours if that before they left. Unsure of what he had just witnessed, Scott returned home, not yet knowing that Derek had been shot with a bullet laced with a rare form of wolfsbane that would eventually kill him if left untreated.

The next day at school, Stiles questioned Scott about what he had learned the previous evening, as he was curious as to who had bitten and turned Scott if it wasn't Derek, if the Alpha had killed the bus driver Garrison Myers, and if Allison's father Argent knew about the Alpha, but Scott did not know any of the answers to these questions.

While they talked, their teacher passed back graded tests, on which Scott had scored a D and had written instructions to see them after class. Stiles joked that Scott needed to study more before offering to help him study himself, only for Scott to inform him that he was studying with Allison that evening. When Stiles implied that he and Allison would be hooking up, Scott insisted that they were just studying, and Stiles insisted that he needed to hook up with Allison because Stiles, as a single man, was currently living vicariously through him.

After school, Scott was about to leave to ride his bike to Allison's house when he saw a weakened and pale Derek Hale stumble toward Stiles' Jeep, leaving Scott with no choice but to go see what he was doing there before anyone noticed their affiliation. Derek revealed that he had been shot by a wolfsbane bullet, leading Scott to realize that he was the one who had been shot by Kate Argent the previous evening. Derek insisted that Scott, who was planning to hang out with Kate's niece Allison at her house anyway, find the type of bullet that Kate had used so they could learn what strain it was and how to treat the poisoning.

Scott ended up at Allison's house before she had even gotten back herself in her car due to his Werewolf superhuman speed, which confused Allison and forced Scott to lie about taking a shortcut. He then tried to distract her from this by admitting that he was stressing about his grades because he wasn't doing as well as he normally did, and Allison replied that they could start with studying English before assuring him that her parents wouldn't be home for hours.

Inside, Allison led Scott to her bedroom, and when Scott noticed all of the boxes inside, she admitted that she was still unpacking and had been taking her time with it. Just as Scott was about to suggest where they start in their studies, Allison began kissing him, and the two quickly began making out on her bed. Allison stopped shortly afterward to ask if this was okay, as she didn't want to make Scott feel pressured to do anything he wasn't ready to do, and they resumed after he enthusiastically consented to their hook-up. However, as Scott's heart rate increased with his excitement, he started to uncontrollably transform and used Stiles' phone call as an excuse to stop and settle down as he shut off his phone.

When he returned, he noticed the family photo in the box nearest Allison's bed and pulled it out; upon recognizing the woman who shot Derek in the photo, he asked who she was, and Allison responded that it was her aunt Kate, though they were raised more like sisters. Unnerved, Scott remarked that she looked familiar, and Allison explained that Kate used to live in Beacon Hills and guessed that they had maybe seen each other before. This evolved into Scott looking at other objects in the box, forcing Allison to confess that they were her attempts to learn photography, painting, and poetry, none of which she believed herself to be good at whatsoever. Scott asked her what she was good at doing, which caused Allison to smile and offer to show him before asking him to follow her.

She took him to the garage, where there was an armory full of guns, knives, and other weapons. Noticing Scott's alarm, Allison reassured Scott that her family weren't in a separatist group, her father was just a firearms dealer for local police stations. She then pulled out her compound bow and showed it to him, revealing that she was a nationally-ranked archer but had quit when she lost interest. Before they could discuss it further, Argent and Kate returned from the grocery store and drove into the garage, causing Scott and Allison to hide from them. Unfortunately, they were caught nonetheless, and Kate, taking interest in Scott's brown eyes, invited him to dinner that evening, much to Argent's displeasure.

In The Dark Moon, Scott, who had become worried after not being able to get a hold of Derek for weeks, went to Derek's loft to investigate his absence, where he found over a dozen bullet casings laying on the floor. He then brought the casings back to the animal clinic before summoning Stiles and Lydia to help him figure out what to do next. After informing them that Deaton identified the skull engraved on the bullet casings as being the symbol of the Calavera Family of Hunters who live in Mexico, he asked Lydia if she could use her Banshee powers to determine whether or not Derek was still alive. He and Stiles watched as Lydia dropped the bullet casings on the metal table to listen to the vibrations using her ability of sound divination, but though she heard Derek screaming in pain through clanging noise, she couldn't determine whether he was dead or alive, leading the McCall Pack to decide to travel to Mexico to try to negotiate with the Calaveras to get Derek back themselves.

While Stiles and Lydia distracted Araya and Severo Calavera upstairs, Scott, Kira, and Malia hung out in the club downstairs in the compound in order to try to find Derek on their own. When the club was infiltrated by Hunters who had discovered their identities, Scott knocked the gun out of one of the Hunters' hands before throwing him across the room to knock him out, leaving Kira and Malia to deal with the other two. After they were incapacitated, Scott took the Hunter's radio and used it to send a message to Stiles to take $10,000 of the $50,000 in stolen Yakuza money they had offered for Derek's safe return off the table while negotiating with Araya. Unfortunately for all of them, they were ultimately captured by the Calaveras when they used wolfsbane fog to incapacitate Scott, Kira, and Malia so they couldn't protect Lydia and Stiles. When Scott saw Araya in front of them, he insisted that all they wanted was Derek, which Araya already knew; however, when Scott saw the grim look on her face, he correctly guessed that she had no idea where Derek was either, leading her to angrily shock him in the chest with a taser wand before locking all of the pack members (with the exception of Lydia) in the club's bathroom, which doubled as a prison cell.

When Scott awakened from being shocked unconscious, he and the others debated what they would do, which involved reminding the still-animalistic Malia that they couldn't leave without saving Lydia first. Unfortunately for them, Severo returned in the cell and shocked them all before snatching Scott and Kira and bringing them upstairs to perform a test that involved forcing Kira to torture Scott with electricity under threat of Lydia being shocked in his place. Araya then began to talk to Scott as part of the test, where she informed him that, like their pack, the Calaveras were trying to find Derek as well, and that they knew Scott knew who took him. When Scott pointed out that they wouldn't have come there if they knew where Derek really was, Araya forced Kira to shock him. She then gave him several hints, such as the fact that Derek's captor was a shapeshifter who was turned, but not by the Bite, and who had a vendetta that was specific to the Hale Family. It wasn't until Scott was shocked at the highest voltage that he realized that Derek's captor was Kate Argent, who had turned into a werejaguar after being scratched deeply by Peter Hale in Code Breaker.

Afterward, Araya released Scott and the others to find Derek themselves, even hiring Braeden, a mercenary, to guide them to La Iglesia, a former Aztec temple where they believed Kate was still holding Derek hostage. She then warned Scott that, while she knew what kind of Alpha he was now, if he tried to bite and turn an innocent human, she'd come to his door to take care of him for good. While on the drive to La Iglesia, Kira and Malia insisted that they needed to know who Kate was, leading Scott, Stiles, and Lydia to briefly explain their history with her. When they started to debate whether or not Kate was a werewolf, the Jeep broke down, forcing them to pull over. Braeden reminded them that they needed to get to La Iglesia before dark, since it was too dangerous otherwise, and Stiles and the others decided to send Scott with Braeden on her motorcycle while they fixed the Jeep and followed after them. Kira anxiously rambled to Scott about how she wanted him to stay safe, and he seemed happy when she gave him a big hug before he left.

Scott and Braeden briefly stopped at a cliff overlooking La Iglesia, the only building still standing after an earthquake had leveled the rest of the village. Braeden briefly explained that the locals believe that the church still stood because it was built over an Aztec temple where the Nahual people worshiped. Scott recognized the name as being shapeshifters, and Braeden corrected him by telling him that they were werejaguars before they continued their journey. Upon their arrival at La Iglesia, Scott asked Braeden what she planned to do with Kate as they walked into the building, and Braeden shrugged before pointing out that she was hired to capture Kate and bring her back to the Calaveras. When Scott seemed concerned that they would kill Kate, Braeden scoffed and reminded him that she was a mass murderer, causing Scott to retort that Braeden herself was a mercenary. Shrugging again, Braeden quipped, "Girl's gotta eat," and when Scott asked her if she would kill Kate if they paid her enough, Braeden jokingly responded that if the money was good, she'd kill him.

Once inside, Braeden teased Scott about not kissing "his girlfriend" before he left, leaving Scott confused about the state of his relationship with Kira until he was distracted by the appearance of a Berserker who tried to attack them. Braeden shot at it multiple times with her shotgun, but it was moving so fast that she couldn't figure out where it was. When she insisted that Scott get behind her, Scott instead moved so he was standing in front of Braeden before Alpha-roaring at the Berserker at the top of his lungs, scaring both the Berserker and Kate herself away and revealing a hidden room. Braeden identified the seal on the wall as being the seal of Tezcatlipoca, the werejaguar god, and Scott punched through the wall to find Derek wrapped up in wolfsbane ropes inside. However, he had been magically de-aged by Kate to sixteen years old and didn't recognize either of them, stunning Scott, Braeden, and the rest of the pack.

In 117, Scott and the rest of the McCall Pack returned to Beacon Hills from their trip to Mexico, and after dropping off Kira and Malia, Scott, Stiles, and Lydia went straight to the animal clinic in hopes that Alan Deaton would have answers as to how Kate Argent de-aged Derek and how to turn him back. However, when Deaton insisted that this was far beyond his area of expertise, he suggested that they just leave Derek at the clinic where Deaton could keep an eye on him, and Lydia volunteered to stay with them so Scott and Stiles could get some sleep and go to school the next day. When Stiles began protesting against leaving Lydia with an unpredictable Derek, Scott pulled him out of the clinic with him so that they could each go home.

Upon returning to the McCall House, Scott accidentally woke his father Rafael up by tripping over a tool box despite his best efforts not to do so. When Rafael sat up on the couch, he asked him what time it was, and as soon as Scott saw the nearby clock said "4:30AM," he quickly turned it around before lying and saying it was midnight. Rafael reminded him about their deal to have dinner together when Melissa was working the night shift, but Scott lied again and claimed that he forgot before explaining that after they returned from their "camping trip," he had to go straight to the animal clinic to finish up some work he left there. Rafael seemed to believe this lie and insisted that they have dinner together the following night before asking Scott if he had eaten, leading Scott to retort that he had "Mexican" as he went upstairs to bed.

The next day, Scott and Stiles walked toward the high school, where Stiles discussed his developing romantic relationship with Malia, including the fact that she apparently scratched his back during sex and liked to be the big spoon when they cuddled. Scott was happy for Stiles and stated that it sound like the two were together and dating, but when Stiles brought up the fact that he had the feeling that Malia knew they were keeping something from her (namely the fact that they know Peter Hale is her biological father), Scott agreed with him that they needed to come clean to her, though he, too, had no idea how they should go about doing so. Scott, Stiles, Malia, and Kira were in Ken Yukimura's history class when all of their phones started beeping, one after the other. Ken told them to turn their phones off, but after his own phone began to beep, he finally realized that Lydia and Deaton needed Scott's help and allowed him and Stiles to leave class to head back to the animal clinic.

Once there, Scott and Stiles learned that Derek had awakened and was so confused and disoriented that he lost control of his transformation and ran away. When Deaton pointed out that Derek's mind had been de-aged along with his body, giving him only the memories he had up until he was sixteen years old, Scott and the others tried to determine where Derek would go next. Realizing Derek likely didn't know that Kate had set the Hale House Fire, Scott figured out that he would probably try to go to the Hale House and made plans to follow him there. Stiles wasn't keen on telling Derek more than he needed to know, but Scott argued that, since Derek is still a werewolf, he wouldn't be able to lie to him even if he wanted to do so, vowing that he would tell Derek everything about the fire if it came to it.

Scott and Stiles didn't catch up with Derek again until after he had been arrested by Deputy Haigh after being caught trespassing on the property of the now-demolished Hale House ruins and having attacked him out of confusion and anger. The two briefly explained what had happened to a Sheriff Stilinski, who was flabbergasted by the news that Derek had been magically de-aged and who seemed skeptical that they could get Derek to talk to them. However, he allowed them into his office to talk privately with Derek, where Scott showed him his red Alpha eyes in order to get Derek to trust him.

Unfortunately for Scott, when he saw how upset Derek was at the thought that something bad happened to his family, he ended up going against his earlier promise and lying to Derek about the fire, claiming that his family was fine but had to flee out of town for their own safety. He went on to tell Derek that he had lost a great deal of his memories and that they were going to help him get them back and return to his family. Afterward, Scott lamented the fact that he lied to Derek, but Stiles assured him that he did the right thing, and was certain that once they figured out how to return Derek to his true age, everything would go back to normal. This gave Scott an idea, and he instructed Stiles to take Derek back to the McCall House and wait for him there while he went to talk to Peter Hale to get insight on the younger Derek's state of mind.

When Scott arrived at Derek's loft, he found Malia waiting outside for him, where she stated that since Lydia referred to Peter as "Satan in a V-neck," she figured Scott could use some back-up. Scott, concerned that this encounter might reveal the secret of Malia's true parentage earlier than they were ready for, insisted he could handle Peter, but Malia argued that he could handle Peter better with her and refused to take no for an answer. Upon entering the loft, Malia immediately noticed Scott's anxiety and asked him why his heart was beating so fast, but Peter, who was reading a book on the couch, claimed that Scott was just bad at introductions. Scott then nervously introduced Malia to Peter, who was stunned upon recognizing the young girl's name as being that of his long-lost daughter and stood up to greet her properly.

Peter assumed that Malia had already been told a lot about her, and when Malia brought up the fact that his "homicidal killing-spree" had come up, Peter seemed confused, particularly when she claimed that he should make sure his victims all stay dead. Scott used this as an opportunity to ask Peter if he had ever heard of someone being turned by a scratch, and Peter initially assumed Scott had scratched someone and insisted that it could only turn someone if the claws went pretty deep. Scott asked if he meant clawing someone's throat out, which led Peter to finally realize they were talking about Kate, whose throat he had ripped out in Code Breaker.

Upon learning that Kate was now a werejaguar, Peter asked Scott and Malia several questions about the newly-de-aged Derek and determined that she purposely reverted Derek back to an age where he still knew her and trusted her but didn't know that she had set the Hale House Fire. Scott was horrified to learn that Derek had a romantic relationship with Kate in his youth, particularly when Peter stated that Scott wasn't the only one who had let a Hunter into his bed, referencing Scott's relationship with the now-deceased Allison Argent.

While they tried to predict Kate's next move after learning that Kate had captured Derek from the McCall House, Lydia called Scott to inform him that she had experienced a Banshee fugue-state while with Kira that caused her to be drawn to the gas station, where she found a gas station attendant who had been viciously mauled to death in the restroom. Peter realized that this attack was done in a frenzy and correctly deduced that Kate couldn't control her transformations, which then led them to realize that Kate wanted to learn control. From there, Peter realized that Kate was seeking the Triskelion medallion, which was in the Hale Vault located under the high school.

When Scott, Peter, and Malia arrived at the school, they were confronted by the same beasts they ran into in Mexico, which Peter identified as Berserkers. Though Scott was conflicted about what to do, Malia was eager to fight them again until Peter informed them that they were essentially unbeatable and that they were better off fleeing for their lives. At some point while running away, Peter abandoned Scott and Malia, leading the two to be cornered by a second Berserker and forcing them to fight against it while Peter sought out Derek and Kate. After Scott and Malia were badly injured in the fight, Kira showed up with her katana and began trying to hold them off, but she, too, was overpowered by the bear-like creatures. Finally, after hearing Scott's roar for help, Derek ran out from the vault and began fighting the creatures off, and Scott watched in shock as the effort necessary for the fight caused Derek to start to age back to his adult self. Derek finally officially turned back to his true self just as Kate roared to tell the Berserkers to retreat, allowing Derek to return to the others. Much to Scott's surprise, he saw Derek's werewolf eyes glowing gold instead of their usual blue.

In Muted, Scott and Stiles arrived at school for early-morning lacrosse practice. While they walked to the field, the two discussed their current issues, such as the fact that Sheriff Stilinski was drowning in late bills from Stiles' stint in Eichen House, the robbery of $117 million in bearer bonds stolen from the Hale Vault, and the return of Kate Argent and her Berserkers. When Stiles asked Scott if he had called Chris Argent to break the news that his sister was still alive and living as a Werejaguar, Scott admitted that he texted him because he couldn't afford a long-distance phone call to France. Stiles admonished him for the casual way Scott communicated this news before asking Scott why they even came to lacrosse practice, since they have "117 million" other, more important, problems, but they were both soon distracted by the presence of a new lacrosse player on the field.

The player, new student Liam Dunbar, was playing goal and caught every shot that was sent his way, leading another player, Garrett, to remark that Liam could be their first freshman captain, implying that Scott would be demoted from the position. This led Scott and Stiles to vow to devote more time to getting up to snuff for the lacrosse team this season. After early morning practice, the two confronted Liam in the locker room, where Stiles asked him how he was able to catch every shot at practice. Liam was confused, since the goalie is supposed to catch every shot, so Scott changed the subject to the fact that Liam was a new student who wasn't there last semester. Though Liam claimed he had simply transfered from Devenford Prep, Scott heard his heart rate speed up and realized he was lying, correctly guessing that Liam had actually been expelled. Somewhat embarrassed, Liam insisted that he was there to play lacrosse and revealed that he was good because his step-father taught him how to play, since his step-father was also a sophomore captain like Scott himself. Once he left, Scott determined that Liam was telling the truth about everything else and disregarded Stiles' theory that he was a supernatural.

In school later, Scott was called by his mother, Melissa, who informed him of the fact that the Walcott family had been killed by an ax-murderer and that there was only one survivor, the youngest son named Sean Walcott. Stiles approached Scott and Kira in the hallway after getting a news alert about the murder and insisted that they needed to leave school to check it out, although Scott and Kira, eager to have some semblance of a normal life, pointed out that it seemed non-supernatural and that Sheriff Stilinski would want them to stay out of it. Once Stiles left in annoyance to go to class, Scott asked Kira if she was willing to postpone the talk they were supposed to have for after lacrosse practice, and when Kira reluctantly agreed, Scott absentmindedly kissed Kira briefly on the lips before heading to class, shocking Kira into speechlessness. It wasn't until Scott made it to his class that he realized what he had done and began to panic.

Before lacrosse tryouts that afternoon, Scott nervously approached Coach Finstock and attempted to vaguely determine whether or not he retained his position as captain, but while Coach confirmed he was still on the team, he otherwise stated that all positions were open, making Scott more concerned that he was about to lose his status as team leader. Due to the supernatural keeping their minds off of lacrosse and school in general, both Scott and Stiles performed abysmally at practice, though Stiles reminded Scott that it was worse for Scott himself, since, in Stiles' words, "I'm terrible." Eventually, Stiles suggested that Scott use a little of his Werewolf power to get the edge in practice, since he hated to see Liam to come and steal his position from him after he worked so hard, but Scott insisted it was cheating. Scott and Stiles were teamed up against Liam for 2-against-1s, and during their second trial, Scott tackled Liam a little too hard and caused the freshman to injure his ankle. This led Scott and Stiles to take Liam to the nurse to get him checked out.

Scott returned to the entrance hall to find Kira waiting for him and glumly informed her that he needed to take Liam to the hospital, since the nurse wasn't sure if his ankle was sprained or broken. Kira was disappointed as she watched Scott walk back into the locker room, but he quickly came back out and passionately made out with Kira to reaffirm their romantic relationship before he left. At the hospital, Scott and Stiles handed Liam off to Melissa to have his ankle examined and waited in the lobby, where Stiles, seeing Scott's sad expression, reminded him that Liam's injury wasn't Scott's fault. Scott pointed out that he wouldn't have gotten hurt if he wasn't so obsessed with being team captain, but Stiles insisted that if he had used any of his Werewolf strength, he would have hurt Liam a lot worse, before reminding Scott that he was allowed to want something for himself.

After Stiles left, Scott lingered outside of Liam's hospital room, where he heard Liam's step-dad, Dr. Geyer, talking to Liam while he examined his ankle, feeling especially guilty when he heard Liam admit that he was trying to show off to him and Stiles during practice. Scott then received a phone call from Lydia, who had a Banshee premonition that drew her to the Walcott House, and instructed him to go find Sean Walcott, who was also admitted into the hospital. When Scott did as he was instructed, he found Sean, who had just attacked and eaten a Sheriff's deputy, in the middle of trying to eat his mother, Melissa, indicating that he was a kind of cannibalistic creature. Scott managed to get Sean off of his mother, and after Sean ran away, he made sure Melissa was okay before he left to go find him.

After hearing Liam's screams for help, Scott ran up onto the roof to find Sean holding Liam in a headlock on a higher level. Scott attempted to reason with Sean by insisting that regardless of what kind of supernatural creature he was, he and his pack could help him, but Sean simply replied, "Wendigos don't need help-- we need food." Realizing that Sean didn't want his assistance, Scott focused on trying to save Liam by jumping onto the higher level roof to try to pull them apart, and though he was successful, this move caused Liam to be thrown so hard he tumbled over the edge of the roof, only barely managing to grab onto the side with his fingertips. Scott rushed over to try to pull Liam up, but Sean came up behind him and used his superior strength to pull his arms behind his back while Liam struggled to keep gripping the roof. After one of Liam's hands slipped off the side, he yelled that he couldn't hold on any longer, and Scott instinctively kept him from falling by biting onto his wrist.

Just then, Sean let go of Scott's arms, and Scott pulled Liam back onto the roof before turning to find The Mute wrenching his tomahawk out of Sean's back after having killed him. Scott stared at the assassin in shock as The Mute put a finger to his lips to indicate Scott should stay quiet before he fled. Once the shock of Sean's death had slightly worn off, Scott was distracted by Liam's pained cries and turned to find him cradling his bitten arm in his uninjured hand, revealing that Liam would either die or become a werewolf.

Scott during the trip reads about Damnatio Memoriae and says it was a Roman practise to scratch off the names of some people and Stiles recognizes its being forgotten and this practise was later used on a killer known as Demon Tailor and he believes that should be the killer that is killing people of Beacon Hills and says it could have became a werewolf. He and Stiles take a break to refill and Stiles tells him how he killed Donovan. Scott believes it was in self-defense. They arrive to save Kira from the Skinwalkers and he roars at them. As they retreat, he starts to kiss Kira. He goes back to Beacon Hills and Mason and Liam say they got an information from Corey, Theo is looking for a blind Alpha. Scott realizes it's Deucalion

In The Sword and the Spirit,

In Amplification, Scott, Stiles, Sheriff Stilinski and other deputies go after The Beast of GĆ©vaudan where it arrives to the hospital and fights Parrish. Later he gets all the pack to his house to create a plan to get Lydia out of Eichen House, Stiles reveals he stole a key card on the last night when he visited Lydia and its said if they cause a brownout the key card will work. Scott and Liam take Stiles to the closed unit and Stiles have to go on his own as the werewolves can't pass the mountain ash. Everyone is doubtfull of the plan but Scott reminds them if they don't do this, Lydia will die there tonight and take a lot of innocent people with her.

He and Stiles prepare to leave the library until they cross with Theo, knowing the plans from Corey and says he and the chimeras can pass the mountain ash without trouble and says he know Scott saw the fresco, he replies that he doens't want to be one of the bodies.Scott is shocked that Kira caused a blackout on the entire power grid of the school but says she can do this. He and his pack get in Eichen House without problems. Kira and Malia go to the electrical where Kira can cause a brownout and Scott, Stiles and Liam pass the guards until the closed unit, as Kira is able to cause the brownout they note the card reader is gone. Liam and Scott try to break the gate but its too Mountain Ash, Liam asks him to hit him so he'll be much stronger and Scott punches him several times and both werewolf break the gate and Stiles goes get Lydia.

Scott and Liam wait for Stiles and know the key card doens't work anymore as almost ten minutes pasted and then Scott starts to feel pain as the wound from Theo of the night of supermoon still hasn't healed. They're confronted by four guardes and get shocked but Scott uses his True Alpha roar to make him and Liam fight back.

In Lie Ability,

In A Credible Threat, Scott, Liam, Stiles and Chris Argent meet up with Parrish in school and find a lot of students dead and the Beast of Gevaudan, who roars at them and who is chased by Parrish, in Hellhound mode. Chris realizes that the Beast is getting smarter. Mason and Corey figured out that the Beast of Gevaudan attacks places with frequencies. He gets a meeting with Liam, Stiles and Lydia and the former reveals Mason's theory. Stiles say they can find the Beast's identity since he figured out that who is the Beast has shoes in size 10. They should get the lacrosse game cancelled because they don't want to put many people in risk. Scott and Stiles find their coach in reception area of Stepping Stones, Beacon Hills Rehabilitation Center. They want him to forfeit the game but Bobby refuses. In a classroom, Scott gives each of the memebers of the pack a task but Malia is worried since Scott is still healing from the wound Theo caused him in the night of supermoon but he healed completely after getting Lydia out of Eichen House. Kira gets out of the game for knocking Brett's helmet off with her stick and Lori, Brett's sister, tries to talk to her but her Kitsune spirit starts taking control over her but Scott arrives in time and saves Lori. He yells at Kira, making her return to normal. The Beast appears and many people start running ofr their lives as the Beast goes after them

In Maid of GĆ©vaudan, Scott fights against the Beast of Gevaudan in school and ends up badly injured but manages to get in the library. There, he sees the horrified students and tells them to go upstairs when he heard the roar of the beast. He and the Beast of Gevaudan fight but Scott is once again beaten and when he thought he was going to die, Liam, Malia and Braeden hurt and shoot the Beast giving Scott time to escape. Scott says he didn't think he could beat the Beast but hee caught its scent. He follows the scent to the parking lot and he and Liam find the shoes with blood they've been looking for in Mason's car. Mason appears and Scott realizes that Mason was the Beast of Gevaudan the whole time. Corey appears and escapes with Mason through invisibility.

In The Beast of Beacon Hills, Scott is still bleeding from the wounds he sustained from his fight with the Beast. Kira helps him go to bed and says he need to heal before they figure out that mason is or is not the Beast. At morning, Scott's injuries healed and realizes that the rest of the pack is on his kitchen talking about finding Mason. Scott grabs Corey as he was invsible, listening the meeting. He says he did everything he could but Mason was taken by the Dread Doctors. Scott and Liam are called by Tracy and Theo, who recently killed Josh, took his power and wore the Dread Doctor mask to figure out the Beast's identity. Theo asks Scott to bring the map of telluric currents to his lair in 2 hours. Theo tells them that where the Dread Docots took Mason, the Nazi Alpha Werewolf Der Soldat, whose blood the Doctors used to prolong their lives, will be there too. Scott, Liam and Theo find the new lair and find Mason but the Dread Doctors showed up. Mason transforms into the Beast and kills the Dread Doctors until Chris and Gerard appear and the former shoots the Beast, making it return to normal. But instead of being Mason in the Beast's place, Sebastien, who was the original Beast of Gevaudan, is the one to appear.

In Apotheosis,

Personality

ā€œ Scott doesn't care about power-- he cares about people. ā€
ā€” Ethan about Scott


Though Scott had a bout of immature teenage behavior during his first few years of high school, his time as a Werewolf caused his personality to shift to one that is much more compassionate, selfless, and kind. In fact, it was, in part, due to his strength of will, his virtue, and his ability to retain his humanity even after becoming a Werewolf that allowed him to ascend to the rare rank of True Alpha, something that usually only occurs in the Werewolf world once every century at most. Scott struggled greatly in controlling his lycanthropy during the first few months after he was turned, but with time and experience, he was able to find an anchor that allowed him to remain in human form on full moons and even supermoons without involuntarily transforming.

Despite all the power he wields as a True Alpha, he is uncomfortable with flaunting his power over others, even to defend himself, due to the ways Alphas like Peter or Deucalion forced their wills upon him while he was a Beta. This characteristic was demonstrated on both Liam's first full moon and his first supermoon as a Werewolf, during which Liam lost control and viciously attacked Scott, who only used the bare minimum amount of power to block his blows.

ā€œ Scott's always been about one thing-- saving his friends. He will do anything and everything to save the people he cares about. When there's no chance of winning? He keeps fighting. When all hope is lost? He finds another way. And when he's beaten down? He stands up again! You wanna earn a place in his pack? You want redemption? Find another way to stand and fight! ā€
ā€” Derek Hale to Ethan and Aiden about Scott in The Divine Move


Scott has been described by several people to be uninterested in the power-hungry nature of many Alphas and is known for doing whatever is necessary to protect those he cares about. He is very prone to giving second chances, does not believe in no-win scenarios, and has been shown as entirely willing to be tortured or killed in defense of his family, pack, and fellow Beacon Hills citizens. However, Scott's intent to keep his loved ones safe means that he is not immune to making unwise decisions out of desperation to protect them, especially if they were caused harm because of his mistakes; this was evidenced by his willingness to forcibly search through Corey's memories, and his decision to enact a risky plan to try to catch one of the Dread Doctors that resulted in Liam and Hayden being captured.

Likewise, his desire to see the best in people and his trusting nature have been shown to create problems in his life as well. Regardless, Scott's moral code has evolved to the point that he unwilling to kill unless it is absolutely inevitable, and Scott's only kill of the series, the Beast of Gevaudan, was done out of necessity, as well as the fact that there was no redemption for Sebastian, and he had already been dead for over two hundred years. This rule of his especially extends to newly-created and/or out-of-control supernatural creatures or pseudo-supernaturals like Chimeras, for whom he usually advocates a second chance in order to rehabilitate the new supernatural creature rather than to neutralize them.

Scott's second death and resurrection changed him to a degree. While he is still the compassionate and empathic person he was before, he has also become more confident and self-assured, no longer seeming to doubt himself or his decisions and even coming up with a plan that allowed the pack to defeat Theo and the Beast, and allow Malia to stop her mother without killing her. This change, however, has also allowed his personality to become more predatory than it once was. While his moral code is still intact, he is much more willing to use more force in his fights, shown during his battles against the Beast, as well as the Ghost Riders. The adversity he has faced since being turned into a Werewolf has galvanized him into a better leader who has perfected the skills necessary to lead his pack. His intellectual strength and tactical skills have improved to such a degree that even Peter Hale, who prides himself as being a "scheming schemer" who is always one step ahead of everyone, was forced to admit that Scott has a remarkable talent for overcoming any odds, due in part to Scott's capacity for empathy and his superhuman senses, both of which help him to better understand his enemies and their weaknesses.

ā€œ It's not up to them-- it's up to you. You have to want this, because they're gonna keep coming at you. They're gonna keep knocking you down. And you have to get back up. You have to show them that you can get back up. Leaders don't run! ā€
ā€” Scott to Liam Dunbar about being team captain and Alpha in Superposition


Scott's ability to see the good in everyone has allowed him to bring out the good in those around him as well, and the majority of those who join his pack become better people than they were before. His influence has even helped to redeem many characters, such as Allison, Derek, Isaac, Ethan, Aiden, and Deucalion, among others. This has also made him a foil to characters such as Theo, who tries his best to bring out the inner darkness in those around him, believing that it will make them stronger, whereas Scott does the opposite, believing in others so strongly that they evolve into the best versions of themselves.

Physical Appearance

Scott is a handsome, medium-height young man with olive skin, dark brown eyes, curly dark brown hair, and a lean but muscular build. He typically dresses in a casual, alternative style that features suede or corduroy jackets, henleys, flannel or denim shirts, hoodies, and jeans with boots or Chuck Taylor sneakers. He has a small scar on his cheek from falling through the glass coffee table when he and Stiles were throwing a lacrosse ball around the house, and it's often remarked that Scott's jaw is slightly uneven. He also has a tattoo of two black bands (one thick band above a thinner one) that wraps around his left bicep, a tattoo that has become known as the symbol of the McCall Pack.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

ā€œ Scott's a True Alpha. That means he didn't get his power because he was born with it. He didn't get it by stealing, or killing someone. He earned it. ā€
ā€” Brett Talbot about Scott in A Promise to the Dead


Scott possesses the common abilities of a Werewolf. However, as a True Alpha, Scott possesses superhuman physical attributes typical of Alpha Werewolves, though he dislikes using them to harm people unless he absolutely must do so. He also possesses other powers that are typically only possessed by True Alpha Werewolves.

  • Super Strength: As an Alpha Werewolf, Scott possesses physical strength that is far beyond any human capacity. At its weakest level, Scott's strength break the doorknob off of a locked door and can knock out a fellow supernatural creature with one solid punch to the head, as shown in his battle with the Kanima Jackson Whittemore (("Frenemy")) and with then-Omega Werewolf Peter Hale (("Smoke and Mirrors")). At its strongest level, Scott was able to break through a stone entrance to a tomb in La Iglesia with only his fists (("The Dark Moon")) and break through steel restraints even despite being tortured by electricity by the Calaveras, who turned up the voltage to its highest level just prior to this. He has been shown to cause multiple spiral fractures with a simple flick of his wrists in the forearm of a powerful Werewolf-Garuda Chimera named Belasko, who had just stabbed him in the chest with his power stealing talons. (("Creatures of the Night"))
  • Super Speed: As an Alpha Werewolf, Scott can run much faster than even the most athletic human being. He was shown to almost run as fast as Kira Yukimura, a Thunder Kitsune believed to be among the fastest supernatural creatures in existence. During his first Full Moon as a Werewolf, Scott was able to run three miles into the woods in search of Allison Argent within just minutes. He is also able to lope on all fours at preternaturally enhanced speeds as well as simply on two legs.
  • Super Agility/Reflexes: As an Alpha Werewolf, Scott's agility and reflexes have been enhanced to superhuman levels. It is this power that Scott is most dependent on, as he is much shorter and leaner than the more "brawny" Werewolves (i.e. Ennis, Derek Hale, Vernon Boyd, etc), so instead of relying on brute strength as the aforementioned Werewolves would, Scott uses his agility and speed to his advantage, allowing him to duck, flip, jump, and twist to evade ammunition and physical blows. Only just a month or two after he was turned, Scott was able to catch a mini-crossbow bolt in midair before it could hit him in the face (("Venomous")), and around the same point in time, he was shown leaping a distance of nearly a mile over a ravine to the opposite cliff in a single bound. (("Omega")) Scott's most common application of this power is to use his speed and reflexes to perform gymnastic and acrobatic feats while fighting, helping him defend himself while also decreasing the force with which he hits the ground and increasing the force behind his blows. It was this enhanced intuitive gymnastic moves that helped Scott win a starting position (and eventually team captainship) on the Beacon Hills High School lacrosse team. (("Wolf Moon"))
  • Super Durability: As an Alpha Werewolf, Scott is much more durable and resistant to blunt force injuries than a normal human. On one occasion, a Berserker grabbed Scott and used him as a shield as the beast ran through four walls of drywall, which did nothing but cause Scott an aching sensation. (("Orphaned")) He has also fallen from tall heights without being severely injured, such as when Liam tackled him and the two broke through the library skylight and fell two stories onto a table; though it clearly caused him pain, he was able to immediately get back to his feet to continue defending himself, an impressive feat considering he had been unknowingly ingesting wolfsbane vapor for weeks prior to the fight. (("Status Asthmaticus")) He was even able to endure being stabbed in the chest with the talons of the power-stealing Chimera Belasko, regaining the stamina needed to break off the talons and snap the bones in Belasko's arm. (("Creatures of the Night")) He was also able to endure having his heart shocked and slowed to the point where it only beat once every few minutes in order to fake his death, awakening once again forty-five minutes later when Kira shocked his heart back into normal rhythm. (("Time of Death"))
  • Super Senses: As an Alpha Werewolf, Scott's senses of sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch have been amplified to a superhuman degree. His Werewolf eyes are capable of seeing in total darkness as well as seeing certain supernatural phenomenon; Scott can see a Kitsune's aura with this power (("Illuminated")), as well as the cure he needed to save himself, Kira, and Malia when they were sickened with a Modified Canine Distemper Virus (("Weaponized")) and a silver bullet used to kill the Hellhound Halwyn (("Raw Talent")). Like his wolf counterparts, Scott has an incredibly acute sense of smell that can allow him to sense the emotional state of others (such as when he sensed the jealousy Jackson Whittemore was feeling upon learning he and Scott were co-captains of the lacrosse team (("Lunatic")), or learning that Stiles was having an internal conflict with the Nogitsune possessing him (("Letharia Vulpina")). He is very accomplished in tracking people by scent, second only to Derek Hale, who taught him how to use his senses. He used this power to track down Brett Talbot when he was poisoned by Tamora Monroe (("Raw Talent")). His sense of hearing is also extremely well-developed, as he is able to hear a person's heartbeat and use it to determine if they're lying (such as when Liam lied and stated that he transferred schools when he was really kicked out of Devenford Prep (("Muted"))) and can hear whispered conversations from a far distance, making it easy for his packmates to communicate with him from afar (such as when Scott was patrolling the halls while Liam tested Mrs. Finch to see if she was a Werewolf (("Genotype"))). Though his senses of taste and touch are not as refined as the aforementioned senses, Scott has learned through training from Deucalion to use his enhanced senses in a way that doesn't rely on his eyesight-- this includes echolocation (sensing location through sound), thermoception (sensing temperature changes through enhanced touch), equilibrioception (sensing through balance), and proprioception (sensing through pressure). (("Broken Glass"))
  • Accelerated Healing: As an Alpha Werewolf, Scott has the ability to heal from all wounds within moments, and, as a result, is immune to all human diseases and conditions. Because of his healing ability, Scott was cured of his asthma. (("Wolf Moon")) This also extends to the majority of toxins, as evidenced by the fact that Scott has been unable to get intoxicated from alcohol or illicit drugs since he became a Werewolf, (("Lunatic")) though some medications, such as animal tranquilizers and bronchodilators can still affect him if his healing ability has been impaired in some way (e.g. weakened from torture with electricity or poisoned with wolfsbane). Scott has recovered from injuries as mild as a small cut on his hand (("Strange Frequencies")) and as severe as being stabbed through the chest with a ninjato (("Letharia Vulpina")), gunshot wounds (("Fury")). The only real limit to this power is that substances that Werewolves are vulnerable to (wolfsbane, electricity, etc) can impair this ability, and his emotional state has a huge impact on how quickly he will heal, as evidenced when his self-hatred from the fracturing of his pack caused his severe claw gashes to stop healing for several weeks. (("The Last Chimera"))
    • Longevity: Because Scott's rapid cellular regeneration prevents him from contracting most human diseases and conditions and replaces his degenerating cells at a constant rate, he ages much more slowly than a normal human and is granted a greatly-extended lifespan. It is unknown what the average life expectancy of a werewolf is, but the oldest known werewolf, Satomi Ito, is 110+ years old with the appearance of a 50 to a 60-year-old woman, suggesting that werewolves if they are not killed, could potentially live decades longer than even that.
  • Shapeshifting:
    File:Scott's monstrous form.png

    Scott's brief transformation into a monstrous werewolf form

    Scott possesses the ability to partially-shift into a lupine creature by transforming his body. In his Werewolf form, his brow becomes ridged, his sideburns grow into mutton chops, his irises originally glowed a golden yellow but are currently a crimson red, and his teeth and fingernails to extend into fangs and claws. He has also gained such advanced control over his transformation that he can selectively transform individual features as necessary, such as making his eyes glow to identify himself as an Alpha, or extending his claws to cut or tear something. While in a battle against a large team of assassins, Scott, for a brief moment, lost control and transformed into a more monstrous-looking werewolf than he usually does, which fits with what is known about Werewolves; Alphas can shapeshift more than Betas or Omegas, and many can either transform into a full wolf or into a bestial lupine form. (("Monstrous"))
  • Pain Absorption:
    Scott absorbing pain

    Scott absorbing pain from a car crash victim

    As a Werewolf, Scott possesses the ability to absorb the pain of animals, humans, and supernatural creatures by touching the person's skin with his hands. This ability manifests by a darkening of the veins in his hands and fingers, which will grow up his arms and into his chest, neck, and face as he siphons away more and more of the being's pain. This is an ability that Scott uses frequently to relieve the suffering of those around him, especially if they are severely injured humans. At first, Scott was only able to essentially "take the edge off" of the pain experienced by the person he was helping, but he has recently demonstrated the ability to completely absorb another's pain, such as when he siphoned away the agonizing pain Corey was experiencing after being stung by the part-scorpion Chimera, Lucas, (("Condition Terminal")) or when he took Stiles Stilinski's pain after he forcefully punched the engine of his Jeep. (("Parasomnia"))
  • Memory Manipulation Ritual: As a Werewolf, Scott has the ability to view the memories of another person by piercing the back of their neck with his claws and entering their mind. However, this process is typically only performed by Alphas, due to the amount of control and practice it takes to do it without causing paralysis or death to person whose mind they're entering. Scott has used his mind connection on three occasions. The first time, he pierced both Lydia Martin and Stiles Stilinski's necks simultaneously with his claws, which allowed him to bring Lydia with him into Stiles' mind so they could find his consciousness and give him back control over his body while he was possessed by the Nogitsune. (("De-Void")) The second time, he used his claws in the back of the neck of Corey Bryant, a Chimera, in order to search his memories to find the location of the Dread Doctors' laboratory so he could find and rescue Liam Dunbar and Hayden Romero. (("Ouroboros")) The third time, Scott used the ritual on Meredith Walker to help find Lydia Martin and learn what he could do to save her. (("Lie Ability")) The last time he used this power, he performed the ritual on a young boy, Alex Turner, in hopes of finding out what happened to his parents, as they believed his memories had been repressed by the Ghost Riders. (("Memory Lost")) This ritual can also be used to modify or remove a person's memories, but Scott has yet to learn to perform these aspects.
  • Animal Instincts: As a Werewolf, Scott is an apex predator, and can thus exert dominance over other animals such as dogs, cats, and deer in order to force them to stand down. For this reason, animals can often become frightened around him, though Scott has learned how to put animals at ease during his time working as a veterinary technician. Scott has used this ability to quiet a scared dog that Allison brought into the animal clinic after she hit it with her car, as well as to sense how a deer felt prior to running into Lydia's car. However, this ability is tied to his control over his lycanthropy, and during his first few weeks after his first resurrection and ascension to True Alpha status, Scott was unable to utilize it to quiet Mr. Tate's dog out of fear that he would transform and lose control.
  • Power Granting: As an Alpha Werewolf, Scott has the ability to transform humans into Beta-level werecreatures by biting them, though this process has a risk of killing the human if their bodies reject the bite. On rare occasions, Alphas have been known to accidentally turn a human by scratching them deeply with their claws, though this has yet to happen to Scott. Scott has given the bite on two occasions. The first time, he bit the Nogitsune, which allowed his human form to be destroyed and his fly form to be imprisoned in a box. The second time, he bit Liam to prevent him from falling over the edge of the roof of the hospital, which successfully transformed Liam into a Beta werewolf. Scott prefers not to use "the Bite" if he can help it, since he knows the likelihood that it can be fatal to its recepient. However, he did give the Bite to Hayden Romero when it was revealed that she could die from her wounds, and it transformed her from a Werewolf-Werejaguar Chimera into a true Werewolf.
  • Alpha Roar: As an Alpha Werewolf, Scott has the ability to use his roar as an offensive weapon, either to scare away werecreatures of a lower rank or to force them in or out of their transformations and even to motivate members of his pack. Scott has used this roar to force Malia to return to her human form after spending eight years fully-shifted into a coyote, to force Ethan and Aiden to stop attacking Stiles, and to scare away a Berserker at La Iglesia.
  • Healing Disruption: As an Alpha Werewolf, the wounds Scott inflicts on supernaturals with accelerated healing abilities take longer to heal than regular wounds.

Abilities

  • Veterinary Knowledge: Scott has worked at Dr. Deaton's animal clinic for several years, during which time he has developed a strong working knowledge of animal anatomy, physiology, and diseases. He has been shown to perform lab tests, splint broken bones, and give injections to animals at the clinic under Deaton's supervision.
  • Indomitable Will/Strength of Will: Scott has demonstrated a very strong sense of willpower, and cannot be easily coerced into defying his own nature, whether by peer pressure or by torture. It was this willpower that is partially attributed to his ascension to the status of True Alpha.
  • Pain Tolerance: Throughout the series, Scott has demonstrated a strong ability to endure a great deal of pain, due mostly to his empathic nature and his insistence that he take on the pain of others so they do not have to do so. Examples of this ability include: Scott getting shot in the abdomen to prevent Matt Daehler from doing the same to his mother (("Fury")); being tortured by the Nogitsune (who was possessing Stiles Stilinski) with an Oni ninjato being twisted in his guts; Scott insisting on being tortured with electricity by the Calavera Family to keep them from torturing Lydia Martin, who did not have his power to heal (("The Dark Moon")); putting himself between Malia Tate and the wall to act as a cushion so she would not be hurt as badly (("Blitzkrieg")), among many, many others.
  • Natural Leadership Skills: Scott has been well-known for his leadership abilities, especially in the months after he was turned into a werewolf. Derek Hale once went so far as to say that Scott was an Alpha of his own pack even before anyone knew that Scott had the potential to be a True Alpha.
  • Mythological Knowledge: After 4 years of being a Werewolf, being mentored by Dr. Deaton and Derek Hale, and researching the Argent Bestiary, Scott has developed a working knowledge of supernatural creatures and their respective powers, though he admits he still has much yet to learn.
  • Empathy: Scott has a highly attuned sense of empathy for animals, humans, and supernatural creatures, and generally disregards any worry about himself in favor of focusing on how others are feeling. He can intuitively sense the emotions of others, especially when he uses these instincts in conjunction with his ability to interpret the chemosignals in their scents and listening to their heart rates with his heightened senses. When people around him are happy, Scott is cheerful, optimistic and ecstatic; if they are scared, he will comfort them; and if they are hurt, Scott will do anything to relieve their pain. Scott has used this ability frequently, most notably when he sensed that Erica Reyes was about to have a seizure moments before it happened, giving him the time to rush in and catch her after the seizure caused Erica to fall off of the climbing wall. It is likely that this ability is at least partially a result of being raised by a nurse and working as a veterinary technician.
  • Mountain Ash Barrier Disruption: Often contributed to his status as a True Alpha, which requires a tremendous amount of willpower to achieve, Scott has shown that he has a limited ability to break barriers made of mountain ash, which, according to Alan Deaton, supernatural creatures should not be able to do. Scott demonstrates this ability in the Season 3 episode Lunar Ellipse. There's little information on exactly how he did this, but it could be due to either his True Alpha status or the strength of will partially responsible for his ascension to that status. It is also unclear to what extent Scott can perform this feat. In Dreamcatchers, Scott stated that breaking the mountain ash barrier nearly killed him, implying that it was the life-or-death situation in conjunction with his ascension to True Alpha that allowed it to happen, though the original scene showed no evidence that this was the case. In Amplification, Scott also states that larger, more powerful barriers are more difficult to break than smaller ones; in Lunar Ellipse, he only broke through a slim ring of mountain ash, whereas the barrier he and Liam Dunbar were trying to break in Eichen House was made of rowan wood and mountain ash built into half of the building.
  • Skilled Close Quarters Combatant: While Scott has had no formal training, as is known so far, he has shown great skills when fighting unarmed. His fighting style makes use of his Werewolf abilities and instincts, as well as gymnastics and a brawling fighting style that is similar to the ones used by Liam and Stiles, his packmates.


Weaknesses

Scott possesses the common weaknesses of a were-creature, as well as other weaknesses that are specific to Scott himself.

  • Wolfsbane: As a Werewolf, Scott can be weakened or killed by exposure to wolfsbane, depending on the species and the method of exposure. Inhalation of purple wolfsbane has been shown to disable Scott's accelerated healing ability, which thereby causes Scott's asthma to return.
  • Letharia Vulpina: As a canine were-creature, Scott, like other Werewolves, Werecoyotes, and Kitsune, can be weakened by exposure to letharia vulpina, otherwise known as "wolf lichen" because of it's toxic effects toward the canine species.
  • Electricity: As a Werewolf, Scott can be weakened or killed by exposure to electricity, depending on the level of voltage used. Lower voltages will disable his healing ability and prevent him from transforming, while higher voltages can severely slow or even stop Scott's heart completely. For this reason, electricity, typically in the form of cattle-prod tasers, are one of the most common weapons werewolf hunters use against their prey. However, this weakness has also been used to Scott's advantage, as Kira's electrokinesis applied to Scott's heart allowed him to fake his own death to try to lure out the Benefactor. Since becoming a True Alpha, Scott's ability to tolerate electricity has increased tremendously, to the point that he was able to break through strong chains despite being shocked by Araya and Severo Calavera at the highest level of their generator. He was also able to run out of Eichen House with Kira, who had lost control of her powers due to the telluric currents there and was producing hundreds of lightning bolts that had hit and burned Scott; this level of electrical shock was enough to previously put Isaac in the hospital for several days, while Scott was able to recover within hours.
  • Full Moon: Though being a were-creature is considered a gift in the supernatural world due to the increased speed, stamina, and healing that it provides, it also comes with a price, which is that the Werewolf, Werecoyote, or Werejaguar is beholden to the phases of the moon. During a full moon, werecreatures without training will become overcome with a rabid anger that will cause them to attack any living creature they come upon, which is why they all must learn control to avoid exposure and harm to innocent civilians. The full moon will make a werewolf stronger, but it will also make them more rabid and chaotic, which makes them easily hunted by supernatural hunters. This has become less of a weakness for Scott, now that he has learned to maintain his humanity during full moons, but under certain conditions, Scott is still capable of losing control during this time.
  • Lunar Eclipse: During the phase of a lunar eclipse where the moon is completely covered in the earth's umbral shadow, a werewolf or other were-creature will lose all of their powers, including their super strength, accelerated healing, and shapeshifting abilities, making them vulnerable to anyone seeking to take advantaged of this weakness and harm or kill them.
  • Modified Canine Distemper Virus: One of the assassins in the Deadpool, The Chemist, created a modified version of the canine distemper virus that could sicken both humans and any canine shapeshifter, such as werewolves, werecoyotes, and kitsunes. Scott, Kira, Malia, and Stiles were all exposed to the virus at the PSATs, and the former three nearly died from its effects. However, consuming wild purple reishi mushrooms are known to cure a the virus and prevent those who ingest it from being infected in the first place.
  • Loud Noises: As a Werewolf with heightened senses, Scott is vulnerable to sounds at certain frequencies. For example, the Argent hunters are known for using ultrasonic emitters that produce an extremely high-pitched noise that only animals and people with supernaturally enhanced senses can hear. Conversely, there are also certain subsonic, low-pitched sounds that can be used against werecreatures as well, as a group of Deadpool assassins used in Perishable. Sounds at this low frequency can cause Scott and other werecreatures to become incredibly disoriented, woozy, nauseous, and unable to control their bodies, to the point that others have mistaken them for being drunk. In this state, they are unable to defend themselves due to the sounds making them weak and unable to stand, walk, talk, or see clearly.
  • Guilt: Guilt has been shown to be an emotion that has serious physical and emotional side-effects on Scott at overwhelming levels. On several occasions, Scott's guilt has actually prevented his body from healing severe wounds, such as when he felt responsible for Derek's "death" in a battle against the Alpha Pack, or following Scott's resurrection shortly after Theo killed him. In the latter case, Scott felt so guilty about all of the events that led up to the fracturing of his pack and his death that he was unable to fully heal the wounds that killed him, leaving a gaping, bleeding wound in his chest and weakened physical abilities. On an emotional level, guilt can cause Scott to act uncharacteristically reckless and behave in ways he would not ordinarily act, especially if his previous actions have caused his loved ones harm in some way.
  • Mountain Ash Barriers: Werewolves, like the majority of supernatural species in the show, cannot cross barriers made of mountain ash. Though Scott has shown that he can break through smaller and less powerful barriers of mountain ash, thicker and stronger barriers are much more difficult, if not impossible, for him to overcome.

Equipment

  • Lime green dirt-bike with red and silver helmets

Etymology

  • Scott: Scott is a masculine English and Scottish name that originated as a surname referring to a person from Scotland or a speaker of Scottish Gaelic. It is derived from the Latin Scoti, meaning "Gaelic speaker," though its ultimate origin is uncertain. It is a variant transcription of the name Prescott, and other variations of Scott include Scottas, Scottea, Scottee, Scottey, Scotti, Scotto, Skot, and Skott.
  • McCall: McCall is an Anglicized version of the Irish Gaelic surname Mac Cathmhaoil, meaning "son of Cathmhaoil," a personalized name created with the elements cath, meaning "battle," and maol, meaning "chief," together meaning "battle chief." McCall is also the Anglicized version of the name Mac Cathal, meaning "son of Cathal." Variant transcriptions of the name include Macall, Maccall, Maccaul, and Mackall.

Trivia

  • Scott was listed on the Deadpool hit-list for $25 million dollars, and was the most valuable target on the list, likely because due to a combination of factors, including his status as True Alpha, the strength of his pack, and the fact that he would be the most likely to protect the other people on the list, which made him a difficult and dangerous person to attempt to kill.
  • Scott's dream is to attend the University of California-Berkley and major in veterinary medicine.
  • Despite spending most of his childhood and adolescence without contact with his own father, Scott has several other father-figures in his life, including Alan Deaton, Sheriff Stilinski, and Chris Argent. He also has developed very brotherly relationships with Isaac Lahey, Derek Hale, Liam Dunbar, and, more recently, Jordan Parrish.
  • Scott has officially died twice throughout the series-- once during the surrogate sacrifice ritual he performed with Allison and Stiles (under the guidance of Deaton) to find their parents in Alpha Pact, and a second time when Theo ripped out his guts in a fight in Status Asthmaticus. However, he came within an inch of death on one other occasion in Time of Death, when Kira used her Thunder Kitsune powers to slow his heart rate to a nearly imperceptible level to fake his death and lure out the Benefactor.
  • Because he died and came back to life in surrogate sacrifice ritual he performed with Allison and Stiles, the three of them have a darkness around their hearts that will remain for the rest of their lives. According to Scott, he feels the darkness every day, but when he feels overwhelmed by it, he looks to his friends for help in counteracting the effects.
    • It is unknown if his second resurrection during the supermoon has had any effect on the darkness around his heart.
  • One of Scott's greatest fears is becoming a monster like Deucalion or Peter Hale.
  • Scott has been shown to use his ability to absorb the pain of others more than any other werewolf character on the series.
  • Scott's first anchor was Allison and their relationship, which allowed him to control his werewolf transformations by focusing on how she made him human. However, after Allison and Scott broke up, Scott's control over his shift wavered, and Melissa instructed him to be his own anchor, which he took to heart and began to use to regain control. Although at some point, Stiles became his new anchor.
  • Though Scott has had many friends and loved ones die during his time as a werewolf, the death of his first love Allison continues to haunt him (as well as Stiles and Lydia) more than any other so far.
  • Scott is the only person in his pack who doesn't have his own car. Instead, Scott drives a lime-green dirt-bike.
  • Scott's tattoo, which is of two black bands (one thin and one thick) that wrap around his right bicep, has become the symbol of the McCall Pack. In The Last Chimera, he carved the symbol into a wall with his claws to indicate to Theo and the Dread Doctors that he intended to reunite his pack and defend his town. In the following episode, Damnatio Memoriae, Scott and Stiles both drew the symbol on the dirt floor in the basement of the electrical substation to symbolize their promise to reunite the pack once again.
  • Scott is #11 on the Beacon Hills High School lacrosse team and has been a captain ever since his sophomore year when he was bitten and turned into a Werewolf.
  • Scott has been an Alpha for the longest in terms of the number of seasons in which an Alpha has appeared. Peter Hale was an Alpha for one season, Derek was an Alpha for one and a half, and Scott has been an Alpha for nearly three whole seasons, two of which were double-sized in terms of the number of episodes. In-universe, Deucalion and possibly Satomi are the longest living Alphas.
  • Scott McCall is one of the characters to appear in all six seasons of Teen Wolf, along with Stiles Stilinski, Lydia Martin, Chris Argent, Melissa McCall, Sheriff Stilinski, Dr. Deaton, and Coach Finstock.
  • Scott is one of only two characters who has died and been resurrected multiple times, the other being Jackson.
  • Scott McCall is the only character to appear in all the episodes of Teen Wolf.
  • Scott's cell phone number is (415) 555-0165. The 415 area code is used in San Francisco and the surrounding north-central region of California.
  • Scott has had romantic relationships with three women throughout the series: Allison Argent, Kira Yukimura, and Malia Tate. He also, on one single occasion, hooked up with Lydia Martin, though he was under the influence of his second full moon and the heartache of his break-up with Allison at the time.
  • Three of Scott's romantic partners were born into the supernatural community, although Allison was not a supernatural creature herself.
