Talia Hale

Talia Hale was the former Alpha of the Hale Pack and is the sister of Peter Hale, the aunt of Malia Tate, and the mother of Laura Hale, Derek Hale, and Cora Hale. She is the grandmother of Talia, Bexley, Declan, Clarke, Emery, and Bonnie Hale.

As a powerful Alpha of the Hale bloodline who had the rare ability to fully shapeshift into a wolf, Talia was not only well-respected by the supernatural community, but she also acted as an adviser to other Alphas in the region, including Deucalion, Ennis, Kali, and Satomi Ito. Unfortunately, she was killed in the Hale House Fire started by Kate Argent and her cohorts six years prior to the start of the Teen Wolf series.

Despite her untimely death before the series began, her presence continues to linger throughout Beacon Hills and its supernatural community even in the present day, both as the result of her actions during her life, which continue to affect her surviving family members (such as the fact that she used her powers to take Peter's memories of his daughter Malia, for example) and because the lessons she taught her brother and children live on through them and have been passed down to the packs with which they were involved. Talia's motto, "We're predators, but we don't have to be killers," is a statement that both the Hale Pack and the McCall Pack have used as an informal code of conduct even to this day.

Talia is one of the most notable members of the well-known Hale Family Werewolf bloodline and was the former Alpha of the Hale Pack, as well as a respective adviser to the supernatural community of Beacon Hills, California and the surrounding areas.
