Hunter

Hunter, formerly known as the Golden Guard, is a major character of The Owl House, depicted originally as an antagonist. He was the right-hand man of Emperor Belos and the former head of the Emperor's Coven.
== Early life ==
Hunter was created from a line of clones known as Grimwalkers, artificial beings who take the mantle of the Golden Guard in order to assist their creator, Emperor Belos, in his plans to enact the Day of Unity. To ensure Hunter did not rebel like the other Guards did, Emperor Belos presented himself as Hunter's uncle, claiming that he took him under his wing after wild magic wiped out their family, and that the Titan had big plans for him. Hunter grew up unaware of the fate of his predecessors and his true nature. Despite being raised to believe he was a witch, he was unable to cast magic; the false reason given was he was from a family of powerless witches.
Hunter was allegedly trained as a scout for as long as he could remember. Hunter's life was mostly sheltered, as he was made to train and study much of the time and was not allowed to train with the other scouts, although was permitted to leave the Emperor's Castle during missions. When Hunter came of age, he was promoted to the rank to Golden Guard, inheriting a staff imbued with artificial magic as part of his graduation. Since then, Hunter worked under the Emperor as the current Golden Guard, serving as the Emperor's right-hand man.
== Career ==
=== Beginnings, Neo-Fi Records (Early 2021) ===
Hunter started out in Towa City and started getting into trouble with Makata, Stolas, and Mikado's mischief. It is unknown how he managed to get to Hacksbin's world, but it was likely due to the fact Luz Noceda and Amity Blight could go there. After Kokichi Oma found out Hunter had some demos laying around, he decided to help Hunter with his musical endeavors, thus Coven Boss Vol. 1 was born. 
Hunter and Stan Marsh quickly became best friends, as they started to rap together and hang out more. Stan has done some vlogs on his OVERTube channel featuring Hunter. 
=== Despair Inc. beef era, becoming Hxnter (Late 2021-Early 2022) ===
Hunter was in talks with Junko Enoshima's Despair Incorporated label, but he ultimately didn't get signed because he was better than all the artists combined. Tsumugi Shirogane proposed they did a remix of the song "Mastermind" with Despair Inc. and Hunter. Unfortunately, there was untimely a falling out between Hunter and Junko. According to Hunter, Junko was being disrespectful and pedantic, and she gave off weird vibes. This resulted in him and several other members leaving the remix project. 
In response to this, Junko released a diss track called Shots Fired, calling Hunter out for the things he said. This prompted Hunter to create a response diss called Bullseye, in which Hunter insults Junko and Tah Chisa. Despite how petty the beef was, it helped Hunter unlock some of his musical potential.
Due to being a grimwaker, Hunter does not have a documented last name, therefore coming up with a stage name other than "Golden Guard" was a difficult task. Hunter decided to swap out the U with an X in his first name, creating the moniker HXNTER (completely original). His sophomore album, The Last Days was released under Hxnter. Shortly after, all Golden Guard albums were transferred to the Hxnter profile on streaming services.
== Trivia ==
* Hunter used to always be called “Daniel” by the tuppers, this started as an inside joke by Hacksbin.
