Biography
Derek Hale was a male werewolf born the son of Talia Hale and a member of the Hale family based in Beacon Hills.
When he reached high school, he joined the Beacon Hills Cyclones basketball team. However, when he first came into his powers in adolescence, he had great difficulty learning to control his transformations during full moons, even despite the fact that he was able to maintain control at any other time, nearly exposing himself during a basketball game that happened to fall on a full moon. Talia attempted to train Derek to stay in his human form by using a large bronze coin stamped with a the symbol of the Hale Family, thetriskelion, which she claimed was a powerful talisman for control when used with the mantra, "Alpha, Beta, Omega." Unfortunately, since Derek knew there was nothing actually magical about it, it did little to help him, which led Peter to teach him to use anger, rage, and hatred as an anchor to his humanity, a method which ultimately worked, though it wasn't exactly the healthiest coping mechanism.

Derek continued to struggle with controlling his transformations on the full moon, though he refused to let it stop him from playing on the Beacon Hills High School basketball team. Shortly after Paige's death, Derek met Kate Argent, who, unbeknownst to him, was an Argent Werewolf Hunter who initiated a love affair with him in order to gain information that could be used to take out his family.
