Season One Peter Hale
Remember when Peter Hale was a real threat and when his presence elicited more than groans of frustration? Yeah, the memories are pretty fuzzy to me too, but season one Peter was indeed an interesting character. His evil doings (while most certainly evil) had a warped reasoning to them, based in his grief over the loss of his family (again, not excusable, but it gives the character a purpose). He not only was an antagonist to Scott, who he’d bitten, turning Scott into a werewolf in the first place, but he also was a threat to Derek, his nephew, to Lydia, another innocent he attacked, and Stiles, in one of the first few scenes where Stiles’ characterization grew beyond comic relief and a desperate pining over Lydia. His was a real threat to our lead heroes, he had a personality that was dangerous but enjoyable to watched, and he played with the rest of the cast well. Also, he gets notoriety for being the first “big bad” of the series, something that just barely pushed him above the Nogitsune.
