26!!Dr. Alan Deaton (portrayed by Creator/SethGilliam)
27[[quoteright:309:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alandeaton.jpg]]
28
29->"''It doesn’t necessarily mean it’s falling apart. It’s just...changing shape.''"
30
31Veterinarian, owner of, and Scott's boss and father-figure at the Beacon Hills Animal Clinic. It's revealed he's well aware of the supernatural underworld after Scott is Bitten. Alan later provides assistance and much-needed guidance to Scott and his allies on the latest supernatural problem.
32
33It's revealed in Season 3A he's known as an ''Emissary'', a {{Druid}} practitioner who acts as an advisor to werewolf Packs and was this to Talia Hale, Derek's mother, before the Hale fire. Later, he brings himself out of retirement to step up and assist Scott and his Pack.
34----
35* ActualPacifist: In the past, he worked to keep the peace between the werewolf Packs and hunters acting as a messenger, and admired the ''[[HeelFaceTurn then]]''-benevolent Alpha Deucalion's willingness to extend an olive branch. Though he will take actions to defend himself and innocents if the those actions prove necessary.
36* BadassBookworm: Alan knows far more about the supernatural than you would think at first glance, including how to modify their behavior, how their own nature affects them, to keep them under control and advice on how to master their different abilities that they aren't even aware of. Must be required when being an Emissary.
37* BadassNormal: He's shown great skills in hand-to-hand combat, putting up a fight against Oni and holding himself well until he's slashed.
38* BattleInTheRain: A friendly one: The Alpha Satomi greets him like this at the beginning of "Weaponized" with his baton against her emei dagger.
39* BigBrotherInstinct: Towards Marin Morrell, calling her out on her decision to be Emissary to the Alpha Pack. Also:
40-->'''Kali''': Help us. (Claws Marin's hair back). Or maybe I just kill her.\
41'''Deaton''': Not here you won't. ([[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane Kali's transformation melts away.]]) I suggest you leave. Don't make me ''insist''.
42* BigDamnHeroes: In Season 4 "A Promise To The Dead", when saving an innocent woman from a Wendigo Patrick Clarke and his "culinary practices".
43* CommutingOnABus: He isn't seen much in Seasons 4 and 5, due to the actor playing [[Series/{{The Walking Dead|2010}} Father Gabriel Stokes]]. In 6A, he seems to have been entirely PutOnABus, after a brief appearance in Episode 2.
44* DarkAndTroubledPast: He was Talia Hale's human confidante, but retired presumably after the fire killed her and most of her family.
45* {{Druid}}: Was formerly the Emissary to the Hale pack. Now, despite being retired, he is the main source of wisdom whenever Scott and his Pack needs info on a new supernatural problem.
46* InsistentTerminology: Whatever you may think, he's just a vet.
47** 2x08 Raving:
48-->'''Isaac:''' What are you, some kind of witch?\
49'''Deaton:''' No, I’m a veterinarian.
50** 4x11 A Promise To The Dead:
51-->'''Kalissa:''' Are you - are you a cop?\
52'''Dr. Deaton:''' Veterinarian.
53* TheFettered: Alan ''always'' conforms to his ideals and always steps up to treat any injured supernatural, whether they had spilled innocent blood or not. He even treated the brutal, amoral Alpha Ennis (though the others had to pressure him into doing so by threatening to go after Scott at first). Except, it was all for nothing in the end.
54* TheLostLenore: Though initially reluctant because of [[NoSocialSkills Derek's behavior]], he assists and supports Derek due to a promise he made to Talia. He later admits his feelings were more than friendship:
55-->'''Deaton:''' I need to know what she did to Derek Hale. And if he's dying.\
56'''Vallack:''' Why?\
57'''Deaton:''' Because of a promise I made to the woman I loved.
58* TheMedic: He's an expert in treating and healing werewolves or other supernatural creatures due to his druid skills. In Beacon Hills, Alan is the go-to guy when it comes to injured supernaturals and injuries caused by any means supernatural. However, he does also treat pets in 90% of his time. Melissa joins him in this role in later seasons.
59* NervesOfSteel: Alan ''never'' loses his cool, even when an ''alpha'' who's a ''murderer'' is trying to get into the veterinary clinic, when fanatical hunters enter his clinic, when he's held at gunpoint by a Japanese mobster, when Oni come to attack him, or when he is interrogated by a ruthless supernatural assassin.
60-->'''Deaton:''' Let me make myself clear. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis We. Are. Closed!]]
61* ParentalSubstitute: To Scott, again. He's far more of a father to Scott than his biological dad as Stiles has said, and he was Scott's Tether when Scott undertook a HumanSacrifice ritual - a person to pull Scott back.
62* RetiredBadass: He was previously a druid emissary, but after the Hale fire he became a vet. He retains a lot of the skills and information, though, and after the end of season 2 takes a much more active approach to helping Scott and his Pack.
63* TeamDad: To Scott's Pack and their allies from Season 3A onwards. Later on, Sheriff Stilinski and Chris Argent come to share the role with him.
64* ThouShaltNotKill: It's clear this is where Scott gets it from.

68
69!! Marin Morrell (portrayed by Creator/BiancaLawson)
70[[quoteright:340:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marinmorrell.jpg]]
71
72->"''I'm going to do what I've always done.'' '''''Maintain the balance.'''''"
73
74Marin Morrell is a woman of many traits. Aside from being a French teacher and Guidance Counselor at Beacon Hills High, she is also a resident psychologist at the Eichen House sanatorium.
75Also, as a druid, she moonlights as the emissary of the dreaded Alpha Pack when they are in town. Being an all-around badass runs in her family, as she's Alan Deaton's younger sister.
76----
77* ActionGirl: She can go hand-to-hand with Allison on equal footing.
78* AllTherapistsAreMuggles: Inverted in Lydia's case as she receives counseling from her having no idea her problems are supernatural in origin, and subverted when Stiles tries to edit out the werewolf element of his problems because he doesn't know she's already aware of the supernatural world.
79* BadassBookworm: She can go toe-to-toe with hunters, and she has over 300 hours of field work and a masters degree in behavioral psychology.
80* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Appears once in Season 3B, and has not been seen since.
81* {{Druid}}: Like her brother, she is a Druid, and sometimes acts as an emissary to werewolf packs. She's also a source of great knowledge, but prefers to be even more mysterious than Deaton when handing it out.
82* FaceHeelTurn: Inverted. She becomes the evil Alpha Pack's Druid emissary in Season 3A, although it's all in the name of balance - this way, she can make sure they get fair representation and cannot do too much damage. Turns out this is a good thing.
83-->'''Marin''': (To Scott) Truthfully, I'm all that stands in the way between Deucalion and the lives of your friends. ''I'm'' the one who's been pulling the leash taut when they're salivating for a bite.
84* GoodIsNotNice: There's little doubt she's on the lighter side of things, but rest assured, if you're possessed by an evil spirit and it takes you over, she will kill you.
85* NervesOfSteel: Seems to be a trait that runs in her family. She's the Druid Emissary to the Alpha Pack - [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership formidable]], [[TheDreaded ruthless]] ''Alpha werewolves'' - all of whom have [[TeamKiller murdered all of their own previous Packs]]! She keeps her cool even when Kali suggests killing her to force Alan to treat an injured Ennis.
86* SixthRangerTraitor: To the Alpha Pack.

90!!Braeden (portrayed by Creator/MeaganTandy)
91[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/a82e80f133b974d7475f7d4e41801ec5.png]]
92
93->''"When you're a human facing off against the supernatural, you need to bend the rules a little bit. I'm gonna teach you how to bend."''
94
95Braeden is a former US marshal, and mercenary active in the supernatural world who frequently takes on dangerous jobs to make a living.
96
97Saving, and assisting members of Scott's Pack multiple times, Braeden is an irreplaceable ally to them and the romantic interest of Derek Hale. She is currently hunting for a wanted supernatural assassin: the Desert Wolf, Malia's biological mother.
98----
99* ActionGirl: Takes out human hunters easily and doesn't hesitate to engage in combat even with dangerous supernaturals.
100* AscendedExtra: Originally a mysterious fighter hired by Morrell to save Isaac from the Alpha pack, she seemingly dies at their hands after one episode. When she returns in 3B, she still bears a huge scar from the incident.
101* BackToBackBadasses: With Derek against the rogue hunters in 'Monstrous.'
102* BadassNormal: As a human, she has to rely on weapons, intelligence and fighting skills, but isn't shy to take on werewolves and even berserkers.
103* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Deucalion may have almost killed her for interfering in his affairs, but he did make sure not to mar her face.
104* BodyguardCrush: Develops one on Derek, which he reciprocates.
105* BrutalHonesty: When Scott asks Braeden if she'd be willing to kill Kate for the right price, she replies that she'd kill him for the right price.
106* TheBusCameBack: Returns in "Status Asthmaticus," the midseason finale of Season 5.
107* DarkAndTroubledPast: She used to be a U.S. Marshal until the obsession with catching the Desert Wolf forced her to give up her job.
108* GoodScarsEvilScars: Clashing with the Alpha pack left her with a nasty throat scar. It does make her look pretty badass.
109* NotQuiteDead: Was presumed dead for the first half of season 3, courtesy of maiming by Deucalion, until she showed up in "More Bad Than Good" to save Derek and Peter from the Calaveras Family.
110* OnlyInItForTheMoney: She claims that it is her reason for taking on cases, but she's been helping people often enough to hint that this is not quite true.
111* PrivateMilitaryContractors: She's a mercenary, and pops up in the story because of people paying her such as Morrell, the Calaveras.
112* PutOnABus: In Season 5A, she seems to be traveling in search of the Desert Wolf, and communicates with Scott's Pack. She returned for 5B, but seems to have boarded the bus again in 6A.
113* ScarsAreForever: She has a nasty throat scar from surviving Deucalion's attack in Season 3A.
114* SmashSisters: With Malia in Season 5.
115* TeacherStudentRomance: When Derek is BroughtDownToNormal in Season 4, she gives him lessons in using firearms and hand-to-hand combat and start a relationship immediately.
116* USMarshal: Formerly, her obsession with finding the Desert Wolf ended her career. In the present day, she poses as a U.S. Marshal as a cover for her missions.

119[[folder:Mr. Lahey]]
120
121!!Mr. Lahey (portrayed by Creator/JohnWesleyShipp)
122[[quoteright:299:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TW-M__Lahey.jpg]]
123
124->''"You want to take this little conversation downstairs? No? Then tell me the grade, son."''
125
126Isaac's father, the school's former swim coach, and now the manager of Beacon Hills Cemetery. Lahey was abusive to Isaac, setting his son off to become part of Derek's Pack and acquire the strength and confidence he lacked. He is murdered by the Kanima at the beginning of Season Two.
127----
128* AbusiveParents: And he ''is''. He used to lock Isaac in a freezer for the most minor of mistakes or offenses. The very container became Isaac's worst nightmare - figuratively ''and'' literally. Throwing cutlery at and in front of his son and he sends Isaac a warning glare to say he got his black eye from 'school' playing lacrosse to the Sheriff. But surprisingly he used to be a ...
129* CoolTeacher: A cool ''coach'' to be exact. He was the coach for the Beacon Hills High Swim Team in 2006 of which his older son Camden was a member. They'd won state championship and had a pool party to celebrate and he let them drink alcohol.
130* KickTheDog: The way he mistreated Isaac. Later on, what he says to a 9-year-old Matt via Matt's flashback berating him for not knowing how to swim at the swim team's pool party and demands he tell no one as he would have got in trouble for letting teenagers drink alcohol.
131* OutlivingOnesOffspring: His older son Camden was killed in combat overseas roughly one year before the events of Season 2.
132* RetroactiveRecognition: Try watching his treatment of Isaac after seeing John Wesley Shipp as ReasonableAuthorityFigure [[Series/TheFlash2014 Henry Allen]].
133* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His KickTheDog moment of Matt when he was traumatized at age 9 instigated Matt's rage that allowed the teenager to become Master of the Kanima and go on his murder spree to kill the members of the team that were involved in the incident, including Lahey himself.
134* WeHardlyKnewYe: Killed off by the Kanima in his second episode. Some would say, "Good riddance to bad rubbish."

137[[folder:Donovan]]
138
139!!Donovan Donati (portrayed by Creator/AshtonMoio)
140[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/donovan_4.jpg]]
141
142->"''STILINSKI!! STILINSKI!! I'm going to kill you!''"
143
144A juvenile delinquent with anger management issues, Donovan faces jail time for repeated offenses. He blames the Sheriff for his fate and has threatened to kill him several times, when the Dread Doctors make him a part of their supernatural experiments.
145----
146* AlasPoorVillain: Poor, psychotic Donovan. Between his father's tragic injury, his inability to follow in his father's footsteps, the Doctors getting their hands on him, and Theo manipulating him, he simply can't catch a break.
147* FreudianExcuse: When Stilinski was still a deputy, his partner, Donovan's father, got his spine injured in a shootout while Stilinski was calling for backup. Donovan believes that if Stilinski had been there, his father would have been spared spending the rest of his life in a wheel chair.
148* HairTriggerTemper: He can go from pleading innocent to screaming bloody murder at the drop of a hat. It's quite unsettling.
149* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: When he is chasing Stiles up a scaffold, Stiles tries to block his way by releasing construction material, accidentally impaling him with a bar in the process.
150* IrrationalHatred: Donovan believes everything that goes wrong in his life is the Sheriff's fault. We later discover that his father, who was Stilinski's former partner, got severely injured in a shootout, and spend the rest of his life in a wheel chair. Since Stilinski was calling for backup at that time, Donovan blames him.
151* {{Lobotomy}}: Is on the receiving end of one, courtesy of the Doctors.
152* NeverMyFault: That totally wasn't Donovan's gun, he carried it for someone else!
153* RageAgainstTheLegalSystem: Ever since Donovan failed to qualify for police training due to his aggression problems, he doesn't like cops - especially not Sheriff Stilinski.
154* RevengeByProxy: Theo convinces him that going after Stiles would cause the most pain to the Sheriff.
155* SanitySlippage: Not that he was very sane to begin with, but after the Doctors are through with him, it only takes a little nudging from Theo for him to attack Stiles.
156* StrappedToAnOperatingTable: After the Doctors pick him up in prison in "Condition Terminal," they do this to him. And then it gets worse.
157* TheToothHurts: Falls victim to some very invasive dental surgery, when the Doctors remove several of his teeth to make room for [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily new ones]].
158* UnwittingPawn: For Theo, who uses his anger against the Sheriff to cause friction among the pack.
159* UnwittingTestSubject: Probably didn't sign up for a guerilla lobotomy on the streets.

162[[folder:Mr. Stewart]]
163
164!!Mr. Stewart (portrayed by Creator/SalvatorXuereb)
165[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tw_mrstewart.png]]
166
167->"''Well done! Threatening a sheriff in front of his entire department, and his son! I'll be lucky to get you 3 to 5 *decades*, you realize that?!''"
168
169Mr. Stewart is both Donovan's lawyer, and the father of Tracy Stewart. He's doing his best to help Tracy with her night terrors, and tries valiantly to keep Donovan from destroying his own life, but ultimately fails at both.
170----
171* DeadpanSnarker: In his interactions with Donovan, who is a somewhat problematic client.
172* GoodParents: Tries hard to help his daughter, but ultimately proves ineffective - given that her problems aren't just night terrors - but also because she's been experimented on by the Dread Doctors and turned into a kanima.
173* HeroicBystander: Manages to stop a prison van going at high speed, when the driver seemingly suffers a heart attack, saving everyone inside. Of course, then the van gets attacked by Tracy, causing Donovan to run and get caught by the Doctors, the driver and guard to be mauled, and Stewart himself to get killed, making his heroic rescue somewhat pointless.
174* ScreamDiscretionShot: We don't see how Tracy kills him, instead, it cuts to a fleeing Donovan reacting in horror as he hears him scream.

177!At the Sheriff's Station
178
179[[folder:Deputy Jordan Parrish]]
180
181!!Deputy Jordan Parrish (portrayed by Creator/RyanKelley)
182[[quoteright:299:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tw_parrish.jpg]]
183
184->''"I'm a harbinger of death, not a harbinger of kidnappings."''
185
186One of Sheriff Stilinski's newest and youngest deputies first appearing in Season 3.\
187Jordan Parrish came to Beacon Hills as if by intuition, quickly becoming the Sheriff's right-hand man. An ex-soldier, Parrish has a multitude of skills ranging from hand-to-hand, electronics and his specialty, explosives. Initially appearing to be human, he turns out to be supernatural in Season 4, which surprises him as much as anyone else; nonetheless, he takes his introduction to Beacon Hills' dangerous underside in stride, and establishes himself even further as a useful ally to the pack. Developing a close bond with Lydia, Parrish sets out to uncover his supernatural identity in Season 5.\
188In "Status Asthmaticus," she finds out that he's a {{Hellhound}} and part of TheWildHunt.
189----
190* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: In Season 5, he starts experiencing disturbing dreams and wakes up in strange places naked, covered in soot, and unable to recall how he got there. It turns out the dreams are part of his powers, and the soot is due to the activities his supernatural self is up to when Parrish is asleep.\
191To make matters worse, his supernatural side doesn't care much for Parrish's input and uses hallucinations of Lydia to keep him under control, leaving only mundane daily activities to be managed by Parrish. It takes the combined efforts of Lydia and the Argents to convince Cerberus to allow Parrish's human side to merge with him, as the internal conflict between the two minds is what was allowing the Beast to constantly win the battles between them.
192* AscendedExtra: Deputy Parrish is introduced in season 3B as a MauveShirt, but becomes more important in Season 4 and is one of the main players in Season 5, being a major part of the plot.
193* BackToBackBadasses: With the Sheriff against the Oni.
194* BadassNormal: Able to hold his own against the Oni admirably. Subverted in Season 4, since he's actually supernatural. He still FightsLikeANormal, though. That is, unless his supernatural side is in charge, with comes both with [[ElementalPowers fire powers]] and SuperStrength.
195* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Used as a plot point. His hair and nails are fine after his assassin burned him alive, when even beings with a HealingFactor would have lost them.
196* BecauseDestinySaysSo: Played with. While there is indeed a prophecy about him facing off against the Beast, which he does fight numerous times throughout Season 5b, it is Scott that ultimately stops and kills the Beast, though technically nearly the entire pack was involved in defeating the monster and Parrish did grab hold of the Beast to allow Scott the killing strike.
197* BigDamnHeroes:
198** In "Perishable" he rescues Stiles & Lydia from a near-death experience.
199** In "Lie Ability" he stops Lydia from killing herself and everyone at Eichen House - including her friends and her mother - through her out-of-control banshee scream, by hugging her. Similar to how she helps him focus and control his powers, he can temper hers. Though technically that was actually Cerberus, not Parrish since he had not yet merged with the possessive spirit to gain control of his hellhound form.
200* DeadpanSnarker: He's almost as good as his boss in this regard.
201* DemolitionsExpert: His specialty from when he was in the military. It comes in ''very'' handy when dealing with one of the Nogitsune's nasty games.
202* DemotedToExtra: In Season 6A, he largely stays out of focus.
203** Subverted as in later episodes he becomes more important and was even crucial to BigBad's plans.
204* DieOrFly: His hitherto unknown powers manifested and saved him from being ''burnt alive''.
205** When he was in Afghanistan, turns out an explosive went off on him - and he walked away unscathed. Or did he?
206* DreamingOfThingsToCome: Ever since the onset of his powers he's had a recurring dream of carrying a corpse to the Nemeton and incinerating it - adding to the hundreds of bodies already covering the ground. When the Beast arrives in Season 5b, this dream threatens to become reality.
207* TheEngineer: He's able to build cellphone jammers. Might have a bit of GadgeteerGenius thrown in, judging from the amount of electronic cables and devices littering his apartment.
208* ElementalPowers: In "Condition Terminal" it becomes apparent that he can't just withstand fire, but also start it from within his own body. He is capable of covering his entire body in it and engulfing others in it.
209* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Amiably chats with school student Jared about good looks and healthy food, while examining what is presumably a bomb sitting in Jared's lap.
210* FairCop: Considering he's portrayed by Ryan Kelley, who's [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Duu0zsRxnqY/TeyQkNp1T5I/AAAAAAAAEgE/isjxPhpHTtw/s1600/Ryan+Kelley.jpg a model]], this trope applies.
211* FakeGuestStar: In Season 5, he drives a large part of the plot.
212* FanDisservice: A hallucination that starts with him and Lydia making out turns into this, when his powers appear to severely burn her - which doesn't stop her from coming onto him, much to his [[NightmareFuel discomfort]].
213* FriendOnTheForce: To Lydia & Stiles from Season 4 on; he seems to be their go-to guy whenever talking to the Sheriff might entail too much of a mess.
214** In Season 6, Mason and Corey try to continue the tradition, but so far, Parrish is more resistant, clearly being fed up with getting drawn into supernatural shenanigans.
215* FullFrontalAssault: In "Perishable" to his would-be assassin, as his clothes had burned off.
216* HealingFactor: Is rather difficult to kill, to the point where he not only seems immune to being burned alive, but also survives being almost gutted by an overly huge, superpowered werewolf.
217* IAmWho: Didn't know he was supernatural - until someone set him on fire and he survived completely unscathed.
218* IHaveManyNames: The Hellhound claims this, when Lydia and the Argents get to talk to him. He lists some of them, and they are all NamesToRunAwayFromVeryFast.
219* ImplacableMan: The Hellhound is immune to mountain ash, kanima venom, and electrical shock attacks, and is nearly unstoppable - until Theo manages to stab him through the heart with a metal rod (and even that only seems to take him out temporarily). Averted with Parrish by his lonesome - he is immune to fire, everything else affects him like it would a normal supernatural (albeit one with healing powers).
220* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Chris Argent in Season 5.
221* TheLancer: To Sheriff Stilinski, who tends to be a bit more prone to emotional outbursts.
222* MagicPants: Despite the ClothingDamage he suffers when his super-powered side is in charge and uses his ElementalPowers without stripping first, this is actually averted until the mid-season finale, "Status Asthmaticus".
223* MrFanservice: With the development of his powers - and his alterego's lack of understanding about concepts like "a civilized amount of clothing" - he ends up naked quite often: once in Season 4, and basically all the time in Season 5.
224* NamesToRunAwayFromVeryFast: When Lydia asks the Hellhound who she is talking to, he lists some of his names: [[Myth/GreekMythology Cerberus]], [[Myth/NorseMythology Garmr]] and [[{{Hellhound}} Black Shuck]]. The first two are [[AngryGuardDog Angry Guard Dogs]] for Hades and Hel, and the last one is a spectral hound from East Anglia, who mostly scares people to death, but occasionally also protects travelers.
225* NiceGuy: Very much; his friendly nature is why he's great in a crisis (such as bomb removal).
226* NoSell: Kanima venom and electricity doesn't do anything to him and these things usually disable most supernatural beings. The Chimera found this out the hard way.
227* NotSoAboveItAll: He tries to appear professional at all times, but occasionally his quirky personality gets the better of him.
228-->'''Parrish''':''[reading the deadpool list - he's on it]'' Well, that's kind of terrifying... What's the number?
229-->'''Lydia''': That's how much you're worth.
230-->'''Parrish''':''[indignant]'' I'm worth ''five dollars''?!
231-->'''Stiles''': 5 ''Million''!
232-->'''Parrish''': I only make $40,000 a year! ''[thoughtful]'' Maybe I should kill myself.
233* NumberTwo: From Season 4 on, he is this to Sheriff Stilinski.
234* OrangeAndBlueMorality: While Parrish himself ranges more along lawfully good tendencies, his Hellhound side has very clear priorities that don't always line up with those of the main characters, or necessarily those of his human self. Hellhound focuses on what he perceives to be his calling - guarding the town, keeping the secret of the supernatural safe from the public and protecting banshee Lydia - and has little time for concerns like replacing burnt uniforms or explaining stolen corpses. He also has no trouble getting rough with the heroes, should they stand in his way, though he usually treats them as allies.
235** Cerberus usually avoids dealing with things unless circumstances forces him to, however, despite his disinterest in the heroes, he did warn them about a trap when he didn't need to, in fact they could have benefited Cerberus better by being served as bait for the Beast as the latter was waiting for them. Overall while neutral, he seems to have some sense of "morals" as despite his job being concealing the supernatural, he doesn't eliminate witnesses and when collecting the chimera's bodies when they were being guarded by deputies, he took them down non-lethally and with restraint, he also allowed Liam to say goodbye to Hayden when she died during her first round as a Chimera.
236* OurMonstersAreDifferent: Parrish is a {{Hellhound}}. So far, he's generally appears human except for displaying fiery eyes, then fangs and claws when he uses his powers. Over the course of Season 5A, it's shown that he can set himself on fire, while remaining largely unharmed. When his supernatural side is in charge, he isn't deterred from what he sees as his mission, but doesn't attack people unless they actively get in his way.
237* PlayingWithFire: Seems to be a component of his powers; he survived being set aflame in Season 4 and when he's fatally slashed by a mutated werewolf in the Season 5 premiere, the wounds are ''smoking'', and have healed just hours later.
238** As revealed in "Condition Terminal", turns out he's can also start fire from within his own body.
239* PrettyBoy: Ryan Kelley is impressively attractive; this gets a [[LampshadeHanging mention]] in dialogue:
240-->'''Jared:''' You're a cop? But you're so-
241-->'''Parrish:''' Handsome? Thank you. For a second there I thought you were gonna say I look really young.
242* PromotionToOpeningTitles: Played with: he's a FakeGuestStar in the later seasons of the show, but is given a starring role in TheMovie.
243* ServileSnarker: He is singularly unimpressed when people expect him to follow even the most ridiculous orders unquestioningly, and isn't at all shy to let them know. Even his boss isn't exempt from this:
244-->'''Sheriff Stilinski''' ''[At a crime scene]'': [...] See if you can stall the ME for five minutes.\
245I have an expert of my own coming in to take a look.
246-->'''Parrish''': You have an expert on teenage cannibals?
247* ShellShockedVeteran: It turns out he was at the center of an explosion when he failed to defuse an IED in Afghanistan, but survived with nary a scratch.\
248No wonder he was so eager to believe in the supernatural.
249* SixthRanger: He's joined Scott's pack as of Season 5.
250* SupernaturalGoldEyes: They glow a fiery orange when he uses his powers (or gets really angry).
251* SuperStrength: As a Hellhound, he can flip Jeeps, and he's the only one who was able to stand half a chance fighting against the Beast in Season 5b, after Parrish and Cerberus merge, they get stronger and while it's brief, he actually starts to overpower the beast before being distracted by Lydia's scream.
252* TeacherStudentRomance: With Lydia, in Season 5: she's his mentor in all things involving his supernatural identity, he harbours a massive crush on her which is reciprocated, as of the mid-season finale.
253* ThatManIsDead: The Hellhound claims that "Jordan Parrish died when I was born." It is unclear what he means by this precisely, since he also seems aware that Parrish has a personality of his own, which would indicate that he is indeed still alive.
254* UndyingLoyalty: To Lydia, especially in Season 5. It turns out to be part of their powers, which are complementary.
255** And the sheriff. They occasionally butt heads, but he does genuinely like and respect Sheriff Stilinski, and when the sheriff is unlawfully removed from his office, it's clear he still views himself as Sheriff Stilinski's deputy first and foremost.
256* UnresolvedSexualTension: With Lydia, in Season 5.\
257The Dread Doctors serve as a memorable MomentKiller.
258* VoiceOfTheLegion: When the Hellhound speaks, he sounds like this.
259* WalkingShirtlessScene: He spends most of Season 5 practically naked, due to his Hellhound side preferring being on fire to wearing clothes.
260* TheWildHunt: He's unknowingly part of it, due to being a Hellhound. [[spoiler: This bites him in the ass as despite his incredible power, the Ghost Riders can easily enslave him as part of the Hunt]]
261* WreathedInFlames: Due to his powers, that happens a lot in Season 5. We see it for the first time in "Condition Terminal".

269
270A deputy in the Sheriff's station, Stilinski's right hand and close friend to the Stilinski family in Season 3A. Tara is commonly seen next to Stilinski as he's over whelmed with a murder investigation.
271----
272* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Stiles is affected by her death because she used to help him with his homework when he had to wait at the station for his dad to finish when he was younger.
273* CharacterDeath: Tara was sacrificed by the Darach as a Philosopher, because she used to be a middle-school teacher.
274* FairCop: Was kind and helpful to Stiles, competent cop and always seen by the Sheriff's side during the Darach's killing spree, and quite pretty too.
275* ForeseeingMyDeath: Played with in an interesting way, when she investigates a 911 call at the school where she sees her ''own'' corpse, she's killed right there and then her real corpse is laid out just like before in the hallucination.
276* MauveShirt: Her role in Season 3A.

285
286A deputy in the Beacon Hills Sheriff department and occasional partner to Parrish. Haigh takes a decidedly unlawful turn when coming across the Benefactor's hit list - the Dead Pool.
287----
288* AloneWithThePsycho: Is the psycho in question: he cheerfully splashes gasoline on Parrish in his patrol car and then sets him on fire, while Parrish desperately attempts to talk him out of it.
289* DirtyCop: A variation. We don't know if he can be bribed, but seeing Parrish's name on a hit list with a very high prize tag is enough to make him turn criminal.
290* FalseFriend: Tries to murder his colleague Parrish for money.
291* GoodCopBadCop: He and Parrish fall into this when apprehending the de-aged Derek. Subverted in that it doesn't seem so much planned as natural inclination for both of them.
292* {{Jerkass}}: Is introduced making fun of Parrish and tazering teenage Derek. And it only goes downhill from there.
293* KillerCop: He tries to be one, after getting his hands on the Benefactor's hit list. Fortunately, he's not very good at it.
294* KillItWithFire: How he tries to kill Parrish. It doesn't work.
295* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Is on the receiving end of one from a very naked and soot-covered, but otherwise unharmed Parrish.
296* PayEvilUntoEvil: Braeden needs to find out who his accomplices are, and starts the interrogation by breaking his nose.
297* PoliceBrutality: He's very quick to wield a tazer to subdue teenage Derek, despite Parrish's protests.
298* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: He and Parrish are initially set up as this: while Parrish approaches de-aged Derek reasonably and tries to figure out his problems in order to help him, Haigh is loud, authoritative, and quickly resorts to violence.

309Deputy Valerie Clark is another of the Sheriff's younger officers, who debuts in Season 5. She's very tough, despite her small frame, and displays a no-nonsense attitude. She's the older sister of Hayden Romero, and seems to act as her guardian.
310----
311* ActionGirl: She has no problem roughing up delinquents much taller and heavier than her.
312* BraidsOfAction: Wears her hair in a long braid down the back.
313* BadassAdorable: Manages to intimidate the struggling Donovan, despite barely reaching his shoulder.
314* CoolBigSis: To Hayden. She reminds her that kids should be embarrassed to be seen with their parents, not their siblings, reproaching her gently for almost leaving her medication in the laundry with her next sentence, and then teasing Hayden about Liam.
315* {{Determinator}}: After Donovan seemingly escapes from his cell, she swears that she won't leave Sheriff Stilinski's side until he is caught.
316* FairCop: Like her little sister, she's very pretty and cute.
317* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Despite her having seen more than her fair share of strange occurrences, Valerie is kept unaware of Hayden's conversion into a Chimera, and then later when she becomes a true werewolf and the truth of the supernatural in general, for the time being.
318* PromotedToParent: Seems to be the guardian for her younger sister, Hayden.

328Another young deputy introduced in Season 5.
329----
330* FairCop: He is a very handsome police officer, who pretty much looks like he's fresh from the academy.
331* LockedOutOfTheLoop: He's witnessed a lot of the weirdness such as Parrish breaking out of a cell by bending iron bars, and Clark writing a report about her encounter with a really huge monstrous animal, but hasn't been officially introduced to Beacon Hills' more magical side - yet.
332* SpearCarrier: He's around when Clark needs someone to talk to, or both Clark and Parrish are busy dealing with monster issues.

342
343An orderly at Eichen House who loves his job, mostly because it allows him to tazer, restrain, and sedate people. As it turns out, he's also a serial killer, and is working with the Benefactor.
344----
345* AloneWithThePsycho: Gets nervous when Stiles and Lydia show up in "Perishable", since he thinks they are onto him, leading to the trope.
346* AxCrazy: He really enjoys forcibly restraining people far too much. Not to mention murdering them.
347* BloodFromTheMouth: After Parrish shoots him.
348* TheBully: He especially enjoys pushing weaker people around, which seems one of the reasons he became an orderly in an asylum. Apparently used to be this even back at school, where he [[ThisIsUnforgivable tormented Bobby Finstock]]. In "Insatiable", Coach manages to finally take revenge.
349* TheDragon: He does all the legwork for The Benefactor.
350* KilledMidSentence: When Parrish tells him to drop the syringe he wants to inject into Lydia's neck, he decides to take a chance, and rather condescendingly tells Parrish that he seems so young, he probably never even fired his weap-- and then Parrish shoots him.
351* {{Jerkass}}: Brunski is a genuinely unpleasant person, who enjoys putting people down mentally and physically.
352* MercyKill: In his delusion, he believes he's not murdering people, but "releasing" them.
353%%* OrderliesAreCreeps: He confronts Stiles and Lydia in "Perishable".
354* {{Sadist}}: Makes Lydia listen to her grandmother's last breaths. Which he taped. While he murdered her.
355* SmugSnake: He loves lording his power over people he dislikes - which seems to be everyone, but especially Stiles.

364
365Another banshee first seen in "Echo House." Her powers and Lorraine Martin's unfortunate experiments have turned her mentally unstable, forcing her to live in Eichen House. She has no living family. In Season 4, she returns to help Lydia and the others decipher parts of the Deadpool, the hitlist on supernatural creatures put out by the mysterious Benefactor. Exhausted, she seems to be DrivenToSuicide - only to turn out to be the Benefactor herself. Her broken mind caused her to believe the insane rantings of a comatose Peter Hale, who was fantasizing about killing all "weak supernaturals," and decide to fulfill his plan by setting up the Deadpool. In Season 5, Meredith telepathically communicates with Lydia during her stay in Eichen House, and teaches her how to use her banshee scream as a weapon. She also warns her that if she doesn't escape and help her friends, "everyone" is going to die.
366----
367* AscendedExtra: She appears in two Season 3 episodes and comes back as a recurring character throughout Season 4&5. She is also the Benefactor.
368* AstralProjection: In S5, she shows up in a mindspace she's able to share with catatonic Lydia.
369* TheAtoner: Meredith clearly regrets releasing the Deadpool and the injuries she caused when her powers first manifested. In S5, she teaches Lydia how to use her scream as weapon, and warns her of the deaths to come in part to make up for her previous actions. She also plays a key role in getting Lydia out of Eichen.
370* BewareTheSillyOnes: Meredith is very odd, but she's not to be underestimated. Especially when it comes to setting people up to be murdered.
371* BrokenBird: From the start, she was a shy and fragile person, and hearing the dead probably didn't help much. Then Lorraine tried to help her access her powers, putting her into a coma. And ''then'' she met Peter.
372* CloudCuckoolander: Her more, let's say, eccentric habits drive Lydia up the wall.
373* DarkAndTroubledPast: The first time she used her banshee scream, she was at school - windows shattered and people ended up hurt or even dead.\
374Her whole family is also dead.
375* DiscOneFinalBoss: She is the Benefactor, and thus the seeming BigBad of Season 4, but gets defeated two episodes before the finale, making way to the [[BigBadDuumvirate BiggerBads]] Peter Hale and Kate Argent.
376* DrivenToSuicide: Subverted: She appears to take her own life after a conversation with Lydia and Stiles, but it later turns out she faked her death with the help of Brunski.
377* MadOracle: Her hints are often so enigmatic as to be totally useless.
378* MedicateTheMedium: In 3B, Meredith is introduced as a patient at Eichen House asylum, institutionalized because she hears voices and won't stop screaming. Turns out she's a banshee, like Lydia.
379* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: Meredith had to spend several months psychically connected to Peter Hale as he was going insane. Given how her mindset changed after that, it borders on (albeit accidental) MindRape.
380* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After snapping out of her obsession with fulfilling Peter's plans, she's genuinely horrified by the consequences of releasing the Deadpool.
381* TheOphelia: It's safe to say that Lorraine Martin inadvertently drove her insane. Lydia feels really bad about it.
382* SocialDarwinist: See WellIntentionedExtremist below.
383* WalkingSpoiler: In Season 4.
384* WellIntentionedExtremist: She is this to a scary degree, believing that all "weak" supernaturals need to be wiped out to let Peter Hale remake the supernatural world in his image. Fortunately, she begins to grasp the true consequences of an idea like that through her interactions with Lydia.

391----
392* CassandraTruth: Warns people that Valack is extremely dangerous, and is ignored at their peril.
393* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When the Doctors arrive, he prefers running and hiding to sticking with Scott and an unconscious Kira.
394* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After Valack breaks out of his cell, he apparently takes on Fenris' appearance, to be able to continue his work against the Doctors. We don't discover what happens to the real Fenris, but given how little care [[MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate Valack]] shows for the lives of other people, he probably isn't doing so well.

401[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TW-Valack.png]]
402
403An inmate locked away in Eichen House's super secret Level 6 prison for supernaturals, Valack is sought out by Deaton for information. He has a third eye on his pineal gland. Valack is often helpful, but has a tendency to turn people who talk to him into living vegetables.
404----
405* BatmanGambit: When the pack comes to him for answers about the Dread Doctors, he gives them information, but asks for a recording of Lydia's banshee scream in return. The Doctors arrive in the wake of the teenagers, who accidentally provided them with a passage, and cut Valack's third eye out, leaving him wounded but alive. He then uses the recording to crack the glass walls of his cell and apparently proceeds to take over the hospital, pretending to be Dr. Fenris.
406* BoomHeadshot: A variety: Lydia's banshee voice blows half of his head off.
407* CassandraTruth: Claims that he tried to warn people when the Doctors came to Beacon Hills the first time, but nobody believed him.
408* TheDreaded: Deaton is strongly advised against seeing Valack by Dr. Fenris, because the last person who did so "left the room, but not the building." Later, he telepathically "shows" Peter what he is, leaving Peter screaming in panic.
409* EvilBrit: Has a very posh British accent, as befits a possibly villainous psychic.
410* EyeScream: The Doctors rip out his third eye.
411* FauxAffablyEvil: Dr. Valack is polite and soft-spoken, but seems to enjoy the negative effect his powers have on other people.
412* {{Gorn}}: Half his head is blown away by Lydia's scream.
413* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He enhanced Lydia's abilities to foil the plan of the Doctors, causing her to come periliously close to not only dying herself but killing everyone else with her scream. She's stopped before this happens, but not before she makes Valack's head explode with a wayward scream.
414* {{Homage}}: A polite, yet unsettling high security prisoner [[NonSpecificallyForeign with an accent]] and a potentially dark past, whom a main character seeks out for help, having been warned that the man they'll visit will try to get into their head: Dr. Valack is evidently inspired by [[Literature/TheSilenceOfTheLambs Hannibal Lecter]]. His introductory scene is even written and filmed as a recreation of Creator/AnthonyHopkins' iconic first appearance as Lecter in [[Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs The Silence Of The Lambs]]. In addition, his relationship with Lydia in Season 5 shares certain elements with Lecter's mentorship of Clarice Starling.
415* IShouldWriteABookAboutThis: Has written a cheesy scifi-horror novel about the first time the Dread Doctors came to Beacon Hills, to give people the means to fight them, should they return.
416* LaserGuidedKarma: In "The Last Chimera," Valack tells Schrader that Lydia could shatter his skull if someone taught her how. Then he uses trepanation to put a hole into Lydia's head, to heighten her abilities - he hopes this will enable her to find the Doctors' latest creation, the resurrected Beast, but also knows that doing so will kill her. And then Lydia's powers get out of control before he can get her to concentrate on the Beast, causing her to scream in Valack's presence, and blowing off half of his head.
417* {{Lobotomy}}: The good doctor is entirely too fond of trepanation as therapy, and doesn't necessarily ask his patients' permission first as Lydia has to discover.
418* MadScientist: In "Amplification," it's said Valack used to be the chief medical officer of Eichen House - and conducted experiments on supernatural patients, apparently to increase their abilities. It didn't end well for them.
419* MasterOfDisguise: Appears to Lydia as Aiden in the Season 5 opener, and pretends to be Fenris to get Natalie Martin's signature to put Lydia into Eichen House to "keep her safe."
420* MeaningfulName: According to WordOfGod, Valack is named after Valac, a demon lord mentioned in the ''Lesser Key Of Solomon.'' When summoned, he is able to show hidden treasures and warn the sorcerer of snakes. In contrast, his first name recalls the archangel Gabriel of Abrahamic religions: messenger angel, psychopomp, and occasional trumpeter.
421* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: He seems able to put at least non-supernatural beings into a coma by opening his mind to them.
422* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: He has quite a pleasant bedside manner, but his ideas about patient consent, sanitary conditions, and overall safety of his medical equipment are *very* lenient. You also don't necessarily want to be the one assisting him - like Nurse Cross, you might end up part of the experiment yourself.
423* TheOmniscient: Valack's powers allow him to know a lot more than a man locked up in a cell and kept from outside contact usually could.
424* PinealWeirdness: The pineal gland is traditionally believed to be the seat of the third eye. Valack's third eye is positioned exactly where his pineal gland would be.
425* PsychicPowers: He seems to be clairvoyant, knowing things like Kate's plans without leaving his cell. Since he guessed what Deaton wanted to know before Deaton could say it, he also seems to be a mind reader. Finally, he is able to convey knowledge to others by showing it to them mentally.
426* ThirdEye: He has one in place of his pineal gland. [[NightmareFuel He drilled a hole into his forehead]] so people can look into it. It gets ripped out by the Dread Doctors in "A Novel Approach."

435Schrader is another orderly at Eichen House, who also works at the front desk. In the flashforward of the fifth season premiere, he falls victim to Lydia's banshee Scream after assaulting her with a syringe.
436----
437* AssholeVictim: Lydia's scream catapults him across her cell, just as he tries to assault her with a syringe.
438* DirtyCoward: Hides under the desk when the Dread Doctors arrive, causing them to ignore him.
439* OrderliesAreCreeps: He's a particularly disgusting one, pretending to be friendly until he's alone with patients, and then attacking them with syringes.

448Together with Schrader, Nurse Cross seems responsible for Lydia's wellbeing in Eichen House. She's convinced that Lydia is only pretending to be catatonic, and constantly berates her for playing the victim.
449----
450* AssholeVictim: Valack tries out one of his medical contraptions on her, causing her to shake and scream, before collapsing onto the floor, killing her.
451* BattleaxeNurse: True to her name, Nurse Cross really isn't all that caring and doesn't seem very well-meaning.
452* EvilRedhead: She has red hair and is borderline abusive to Lydia, though not as downright evil as Schrader.
