History[]
Before he met Marie-Jeanne Valet, Henri Argent was a man whose family, the Argents, were knowledgeable on how to survive a werewolf attack instead of hunting them. He was married to a woman and had four children with her. However, Madame Argent and their four children were killed and Henri only survived. One night, he came across the innkeeper's son, Emile. After the boy died, Henri took him to the tavern with the body of a young boy in his arms, Henri explained that Emile was attacked and that his last words were "La Bête." Even though she did not believe in the supernatural, Marie agreed to lead a hunting party after the Beast. Henri thought she was a fool to believe this.
When Marie-Jeanne went to confront the Beast, she was afraid to learn that the "Wolf" was actually a werewolf. Running in terror after being wounded by it, Henri used mountain ash against the creature so it could not reach them.
He took Marie-Valet to his cabin, where he healed her wound. He offered to hel her survive the werewolf; however, she wanted to know how to kill one in order to save their village. Henri joined her on in the quest to kill it. They laced alcoholic drinks with mistletoe, which was what all werewolves were allergic to. She, at first, believed Marcel was the Demon Wolf after he told her to look in the cellar, where Marie found a slaughter of men, women, and children. However, her theory of Marcel being the demon wolf was proven wrong when she noticed the wound she inflicted on him had not yet healed. Marie realized that Marcel couldn't be the Beast but was rather just covering for him. Instead it was her brother.
Not letting her brother intimidate her into silence, Marie quickly ran to Henry's cabin, where she revealed her discovery and how she needed his help to kill her brother before he hurt any more innocents. He suggested that they needed something that would use the Beast's size and weight, deciding on a pike. Valet and Argent created a tip mixed with wolfsbane and mountain Ash, which was made into the shape of a fleur-de-lis. After it cooled, Marie merged the sphere in her own blood under the light of a full moon. After three years of hunting her brother down, Marie-Jeanne was successful in using the pike to kill Sebastien and swore to erase their anme from the history books so no one would ever know his name.
Henri helped gather everything that Sebastien signed and burned it with the rest of the village. As his partnership with Marie-Jeanne persisted, Henri and Marie-Jeanne fell in love and began a romantic relationship. The two married, with Marie-Jeanne taking his last name to disconnect herself from her brother and became the ancestors of a long line of supernatural hunters. Because Marie Jeanne killed the beast, she is presumably the reason why the Argents were a matriarchy.
