Deucalion is a character introduced in Season 3 of Teen Wolf and is played by Gideon Emery.
Biography
Deucalion speaks with a British accent.
He was an Alpha in 1977 and, according to Gerard Argent, bit and turned Hunter Alexander Argent.
Sometime later he returned with his pack to Beacon Hills at the behest of fellow Alpha Ennis to seek vengeance on Gerard and Chris Argent for the death of one of Ennis' Betas.
Instead, Deucalion sought peace, first meeting with Alpha Talia Hale and then with Gerard.
The meeting with Gerard was a trap and Deucalion was blinded. While still recovering, one of his Betas attempted to take over and Deucalion killed him. In doing so he learned that Alphas become stronger when they kill their own Betas.
He then convinced both Ennis and Kali to kill their packs and join him, creating The Alpha Pack. He also showed the Twins, Ethan and Aiden (who were Betas at the bottom of their pack), how to merge together. Consequently they killed every member of their pack, saving their Alpha for last, and joined his Alpha Pack.
When he returned to Beacon Hills he wore dark glasses and carried a cane with a spearhead concealed beneath the red tip at the bottom.
Psychology
According to Ms. Morrell, who is a clinical psychologist and Druid emissary to Deucalion, he is on a "narcissistically psychotic" mission to form the "perfect pack" and, to that end, wants a True Alpha like Scott McCall to join him.
She says Deucalion's desire to possess Scott's uniqueness was in conflict with an equally strong desire to destroy Scott's potential to become a True Alpha by getting him to kill.
