KATE ARGENT has been in Mystic Falls for A YEAR since the war began. She is FEMALE that goes by SHE + HER pronouns. Catch her on a bad day and you will find she is IMPULSIVE, CALLOUS, DETACHED but anyone on her good side will tell you she can be DEDICATED, RESOURCEFUL, CHARISMATIC. Everyone has their guilty pleasures, hers just happens to be LEATHER JACKETS, CRACKLING FIRE AND BULLET SHELL CASINGS. But watch out for them, word on the street says SHE HAS BEEN ORGANIZING A SECRET BLACK MARKET FOR WEAPONS.
Kate is responsible for the Hale fire. She acted under orders of both Gerard and with Klaus Mikaelson’s finances.
Kate is currently a double agent. For all public purposes, she appears to still be on the Hale’s side when she is actually an informant to Klaus himself. She is also attempting to work Damon Salvatore for information she can sell to Klaus.
Kate is aware of the Mikaelson’s anger towards Katherine through chatter from the clan. Kate has taken it upon herself to offer mentorship to the young girl whose fierce and tenacious nature is admired, reminding her a bit of herself at that age.
The Argent Matriarch was murdered when Kate was only 3, the murder was unsolved and the sole reason they moved to Mystic Falls.
Kate has been operating a secret business on the side; mostly the selling of illegal firearms and distributing to clans with the Mikaelsons being her largest clientele.
Kate Argent was born with the promise and power of her name. Being an Argent with ties to the criminal underworld with a trail leading back to the Chicago mob in the twenties, Kate was already at a major advantage. Taught since she could walk and talk how to use weapons ranging from a pistol, AK with her preference and specialty being a rifle. At an age where she could understand what the Argent name truly stood for, she took pride in it, watching her father’s dealings and him taking her along for his business when she was old enough and Kate was eager to live up to her family’s name much to her mother’s dismay who was against ties to the criminal world. Arguments between her mother and Gerard on how to raise their children, brought them to the brink of a nasty divorce until suddenly the Argent matriarch was murdered in their home town in California with Gerard being the prime suspect in her murder but with lack of proof and a case gone cold, no charges were filed. After his wife’s death, he decided to move his children and relocate to Mystic Falls, Virginia where he would begin to rebuild the Argent name.
From the age of three, after her mother’s tragic murder up until present day, Kate was her father’s shining pupil. She followed his every order, perfected her technique and took her first life when she was just thirteen years old. Being the ideal daughter created a rift between her and her brother Christopher who disagreed with the family values, attempting to talk sense and reasoning into Kate as she grew into her years. Kate rather saw the name as something to revel in, to make it a name worth proud of. She was beautiful, something she used to her advantage often times. She was trouble with a capital T when she entered high school. Boys dug the sex appeal, the less than pristine nature and girls were intimidated. Kate never attached herself to any of the boyfriends she had, often growing bored of the whole relationship game within a week.
After graduation, Kate officially entered the family business. She first started out her career commiting a few jobs for Giuseppe Salvatore and a few for the Hale clan with her loyalty remaining to herself, Kate was truly a free agent, her name was known around the criminal underworld. She was good at being a markswoman; arguably, one of the best in a long while in the Argent family. She held no hesitation or second thoughts on a job or for the victims whose name was on the contract, there was no empathy. Just a solid paycheck and a prideful accomplishment.
On a business trip to New Orleans two years ago, Kate met Klaus Mikaelson. The boss of the New Orleans Mikaelson crime family. The two hit it off and from him, she learned of his plans to expand his empire with Mystic Falls being an extremely profitable location and the ideal spot for smuggling illegal goods from overseas. Kate already had connections back in Mystic Falls, specifically being in direct connection to the Hale family. Together under the promise of a great sum of cash, Kate conspired against the two crime families of Mystic Falls.
For two years, Kate gained more entry to the Hales using Talia’s son Derek. The two emitted an affair and Derek unknowingly giving Kate the blueprint to the protected Hale house and its varying locations all while reporting back to Klaus until he decided it would be time to take action. Under his orders, Kate waited for the Hale’s to call an important meeting with almost each member of the clan inside before closing off any hope of escape and struck the match that killed nearly every clan member.
When Kate isn’t on an active job, she has acquired her own small business on the side. With the help of a few of the loyal Argent men, Kate has been building her own market, selling illegal firearms banned in the states and various other powerful equipment such as remote bombs with the Mikaelsons being her largest clientele with Klaus planning on keeping it on his payroll when he officially takes over the quaint little town of Mystic Falls but Kate’s loyalty is to herself and her family, belonging to no one clan nor man and she plans to keep her side business independent.
PETER HALE: Peter never trusted Kate from the moment he spotted her with his nephew. Peter feels without a shadow of a doubt, Kate started the fire that ended his family.
KATHERINE PIERCE: Kate is aware of the Mikaelson clan’s beef with the Bulgarian, overhearing clan chatter. Katherine reminds Kate a lot of herself when she was that age and has offered Katherine a chance to fall under her wing to mentor as Kate sees potential within her with promise to give her insight on how to escape her Klaus problem with her life intact.
