In Wolf Moon, Stiles went to the McCall House to inform his best friend Scott McCall about the body that the Beacon County Sheriff's Department had found in the woods, specifically the fact that they had only found half of it. Afterwards, his father informed him that these acts were a great first step in his career in law enforcement, insinuating that Stiles will go to law school in Washington, D.C. Upon the reunion of the pack, Stiles played a large role in the defeat of the Beast, Theo, and the Desert Wolf, something that helped Stiles heal from the guilt of accidentally killing Donovan Donati out of self-defense earlier in the season. However, upon learning of Theo's schemes and the revival of a terrifying creature known as La Bête du Gévaudan, Stiles reconciled with Scott and resumed working with his best friend to help reunite their beloved pack once again. In Season 5, the relationships between the pack began to fracture due to the stress of fighting the Dread Doctors and the manipulations of Theo Raeken, causing Stiles to become estranged from Scott, Malia, and Lydia. Once the Nogitsune was defeated, Stiles turned his attention back to investigations to take his mind off of it, and began to look into the supernatural hit-list known as the Deadpool, which caught his attention while he was also searching for the biological mother of his fellow packmate, Malia Tate, who is an assassin known only as the Desert Wolf. In the second half of Season 3, he was possessed by a dark spirit known as the Nogitsune, which caused him to commit several crimes that led to dozens of people getting hurt or killed, something that still causes Stiles immense guilt to this day. In Season 1, Peter Hale offered Stiles the bite as a reward, but he refused, no matter how tempted he was to have supernatural powers of his own.ĭue to his knowledge of the law and investigations as a result of being the son of a police officer, Stiles takes great satisfaction in following the clues to lead him to supernatural threats such as the Kanima, the Alpha Pack, and the Darach. The first time he took it out for a drive, he went into a ditch, and his father handed him his first roll of duct tape. When he was old enough to start driving, his father gave him his Jeep, which had belonged to his mother, and which she had wanted him to have once he was old enough to drive it. (" Wolf's Bane") This was evidenced by when Stiles defended his father against Special Agent Rafael McCall's insinuations that Sheriff had relapsed. (" Silverfinger") He also seemed to be aware of his father's affinity for whiskey, which occasionally went too far, to the point where Noah was asked by his fellow employees to cut down on his drinking. (" The Last Chimera") Afterward, Stiles began to experience anxiety attacks and bouts of sleepwalking, though he eventually grew out of it for a time. (" Alpha Pact")Īt Claudia's funeral, Stiles' father, Noah, saw how badly Stiles was mourning his mother's death and assured him that he still had him, and their mutual loss caused Stiles to become incredibly close to Noah to help each other get through Claudia's death together. (" Required Reading")Ĭlaudia ultimately died while being treated in the hospital, on an afternoon when the young Stiles was visiting with her he unfortunately had to endure the traumatic experience alone due to his father being caught up dealing with a car accident case, as Noah ultimately decided to stay late to comfort a woman who was dying as a result of the crash. According to the repressed memory Stiles experienced in a flashback due to reading The Dread Doctors novel by Gabriel Valack, Claudia even violently attacked Stiles on at least one occasion as a result of her dementia, which caused her to develop a very strong case of paranoia and dissociation. During the time she endured this illness, Claudia suffered such horrifying delusions that she was under the impression that Stiles was trying to kill her despite the fact that he was really just an anxious child worried about his mother. (" Blitzkrieg")Īs a young child, Stiles' mother Claudia was stricken with frontotemporal dementia. As a child, he was unable to properly say his birth name, Mieczysław (a Polish male given name pronounced mee-chee-swahv) the closest he could get to a correct pronunciation was "Mischief" which became a nickname that his mother began calling him as a result of his naturally mischievous nature.
