They are [intelligent, willing, and charismatic] but also tend to be [obsessive, stubborn, and subservient] but what people don’t know is [Ever since coming back from the hell prison world the skinwalkers put him in, Theo has seen Tara every night when he closes his eyes. He can feel her tearing her heart out of his chest, leaving him a little more breathless each time he wakes up. Some nights he wakes up and when he looks down at his chest there are dots of blood spotted across his shirt and when he lifts it the area directly above his heart has purple clawed marks on it.] and they’ll do anything to keep anyone from finding out.
Theo Raeken lived a normal life with a normal childhood. He had a sister, two parents who loved him. All of that changed when his nightmares started, people in masks, standing over him, talking to him. He woke up one night in the woods, no idea how he’d gotten there. But there was only one thing running through his head, his sister had to die. He didn’t want to kill her, but it was like once the thought was in his head that’s all he could think about.
He just wanted the nightmares to stop.
Theo just wanted the nightmares to end, he wanted to go back to having a normal childhood. Not waking up in the woods and near sewers. He just wanted it to stop.
He didn’t even mean for anything to happen, he just went for a walk. Tara was older than him, she was bigger. He could never kill her. He loved her. But like most things, it just.. happened. He tried telling her about the dreams, about the men who came to his room while he was sleeping to take him.
But then his head had started to hurt, he could hear them inside his head. Telling him what to do, what they needed him to do. How they could make him better, how he’d be a success.
Theo hadn’t meant to shove her, she’d moved to grab him and he’d panicked. It was just a slip up, but was that the truth? Maybe a part of him wanted her dead, wanted her to just go away so the nightmares would leave.
He watched her there, just laying in the water and calling out to him weakly. He watched when she died and he watched as the dread doctors took her heart. He was the nightmare.
After being taken by The Dread Doctors Theo knew something awful had befallen his family, with Tara dead and him missing he knew they would have to keep anyone from finding out what had happened so just a year after Tara’s death The Dread Doctor’s had come for him in the middle of the night when he was just nine years old, he’d woken up to his mom screaming and when they had entered his room he knew better than to try to run. It never ended well when he ran.
From there he was just a pawn in a bigger scheme, used to help The Dread Doctor’s find a suitable host for The Beast, since in their eyes he had been a failure.
Failure, Theo Raeken. He had failed. Despite being one of the only successful chimeras, he had still failed.
So he’d tried to redeem himself, he went back to Beacon Hills where it had all began for him, he’d managed to worm his way into the pack, to deceive them, all in the vain hope that he could be a real wolf, feel like he could belong. To get the power promised to him, when all he really wanted was for someone to tell him it was okay, that he wasn’t a failure.
But in the end he’d failed that too.
Karma found him in the form of the Skinwalkers and their power to create phantoms, they had brought back Tara or at least.. they’d brought back something that looked like her, be it demon or just some vivid hallucination that dragged him to hell.
There he had suffered, he suffered for every god awful evil thing he’d done, he paid for his sins over and over again as Tara got her retribution in the form of ripping her heart rightfully from his chest. After all he had stolen it from her first.
It was only fair that she took it back.
Being brought back from hell had been jarring to Theo, he almost didn’t realize that he was back. When he’d seen Liam and even Hayden, he had just assumed this was some new form of torture. To find out that he was actually back, that they had brought him back. Well, it made him wonder if he could come back from it all, maybe he could be useful, maybe they wouldn’t send him back.
So he fought for them, helped them figure out what was going on with the wild hunt. To bypass the storm.
Once it was all said and done he again felt hopeful but then it all changed.
He’s calculating and a bit abrasive, but deep down he has a big heart. He wants to help, but he doesn’t know how to help anyone when he can’t even help himself.
He would visit the bridge where he killed Tara frequently
Despite being just a chimera and not physically needing an anchor, he found one in Liam
He likes to get under Stiles’ skin but will never admit to purposely doing it
He regrets killing Tara and wishes he could take it back
He misses his mom despite barely remembering her, a consequence of The Dread Doctors
He feels more connected to his coyote than his wolf, despite this he does yearn for a true pack.
When Theo roars it doesn’t sound like it should, more warbled. As if his coyote and wolf are howling together, against each other. Two halves fighting for dominance.
He has nightmares about Tara taking back her heart, at times it’s hard for him to tell reality from his dreams.
