Everything You Need To Know! LOTS OF GAMEPLAY! by Christopher Odd
== History ==
Centuries ago, Hunter was born the only child of an ordinary man and a powerful immortal. When Hunter’s father fell victim to a plague, Hunter’s mother, the sorceress Lilith, was consumed by grief. Her inner turmoil twisted her magic and led her down a path of darkness until she became a demi-goddess of evil.
Hunter was raised in secret by Lilith’s sister, Sara, as a weapon against Lilith. When Hunter came of age, they fought against Lilith with the Old Midnight Suns. In the end, Hunter proved the only hero strong enough to defeat Lilith and restore peace. 
However, the battle was won at great cost, and Hunter was slain alongside their demon mother. Both were buried for centuries, until Lilith was awoken by Doctor Faustus working for Hydra, her devastating powers augmented and amplified by modern technology and magic. Hunter was resurrected as well, to lead a new team of Midnight Suns. However, Hunter is haunted by their own demons of grief and guilt, leaving them to battle not only their mother, but also their inner darkness and light.Midnight Suns Game Guide - Hunter
During the time Hunter was dead, they continued to be aware of the world and its changes since the 1700s. Hunter explained that their knowledge of the modern world could be summed up as: knowing what a car is, but not knowing how to drive.
Based on Caretaker's and Lilith's Journals, Hunter was born mid-November, 1694. Hunter's Journal seems to indicate that they died in early November, 1712, which would make their biological age just under 18 years old.
