The Tate Family

The Tate Family is a family of characters featured in Season 3 of MTV's Teen Wolf.

Malia Tate's mother and sister died in a car crash 8 years prior to the events of Anchors. It was believed at the time that coyotes had gotten to the bodies before authorities found them because both showed signs of clawing and biting. It was further believed that Malia Tate's body had been dragged away by the same animals.

Having learned of the supernatural, Sheriff Stilinski reopened the case believing werewolves might have been involved.

Mr. Tate was grief stricken by the loss of his wife and two daughters in a car accident.

He is not pleased when Sheriff Stilinski wants to reopen the case as a murder investigation after having lived so long with the idea that his family died in a tragic accident.

When Scott and Stiles find the coyote's den full of Malia's clothes, he becomes obsessed with trapping the animal he believes is responsible for his daughter's death. Read More...
