Biography[]
Origin[]
Scott McCall was a young man who lived in the town of Beacon Hills in Northern California with his mother, Melissa McCall. Scott's best friend was an anxiety-ridden boy named Stiles Stilinski. He attended Beacon Hills High School where he was a bench-warmer on the school's lacrosse team.
In 2011, Stiles brought Scott out to the Beacon Hills Wildlife Preserve in the hopes of finding the partial remains of a young woman who had been killed by an animal attack in the area. Stiles learned about the incident via his father Sheriff Stilinski's police scanner. The two succeeded in finding the upper half of the woman, but when the sheriff arrived on the scene, he admonished Stiles and sent him home. Scott remained behind, though it would have been to his benefit had he left with Stiles. Alone in the middle of the woods, Scott was attacked by a werewolf that left a large bite wound on his stomach. Scott healed from the injury, but was now infected with the curse of lycanthropy and would periodically change into a werewolf himself.
