## History

### Early life

The Night Hunter use to be a Dream Chaser, recruited by Lunia, alongside Mr. Oz and Hannah to combat the Nightmare King. However, during one such battle, a Night Terror grabbed Hannah and forced her to wake up to teleport to the Waking World, resulting in Mr. Oz waking up to save her, leaving him as the sole Dream Chaser that saw Lunia create the Grim Realm to imprison the Nightmare King in its guardian. However, at some point, the Night Hunter ultimately betrayed the Night Bureau by freeing the Nightmare King, who turned the Grim Realm into his own home realm, turned the guardian into a Nightmare creature, and brought the hunter in as his second-in-command, resulting in the Night Hunter losing his humanity. At one point, he lost his left hand and replaced it with a hook.

### Diary of a Dream Bandit

#### Midnight Jam

He encounters Zoey and takes her song, making it his own, twisting it to fit his appearance.

### Trials of the Dream Chasers

#### Awakening

The Night Hunter confronts the Masked Hero as he held Lunia's hourglass before making his getaway, but not in time as the Night Hunter managed to shoot an arrow at him.

The Night Hunter was then scolded by Snivel during everyone's blame game when siblings Mateo and Izzie escaped to the Waking World, but he wasn't concerned as they'll be back for Cooper, who was currently in a Grimkeeper.

#### Dreamer's Block

As the Cyber Realm was taken over by the nightmare creatures, the Night Hunter taunted Jayden, assuring him that this was a nightmare he would never awaken from.

The Night Hunter conveyed to the Nightmare King that Z-Blob and Albert had been sighted in the Fantasy Realm. To ensure their capture, the Night Hunter dispatched Grimspawn to the scene. Intrigued by the developments, the Nightmare King commanded the Night Hunter to also apprehend Zoey. Although hesitant about capturing Zoey, the Night Hunter had no choice but to obey the Nightmare King's orders.

The Night Hunter, riding atop the Dark Pegasus, faced off against Zoey, Albert, and Z-Blob. He ordered the Grimspawn to capture Z-Blob and Albert, leaving him to deal with Zoey personally. The Night Hunter observed Zoey's desperate attempts to sever the wires that powered the dome to the Dream Chasers' Landing. Swiftly, he aimed his crossbow and unleashed a Shadow Bolt, effectively disabling the dome. Realizing their chance to escape, Zoey and Z-Blob hurriedly made their way towards the hourglass portal. However, the Night Hunter, determined not to let them get away, rushed towards the portal, only to witness it disintegrate right before he could open it.

#### Sweet Dreams

The Nightmare King chastized the Night Hunter for being late and expressed disappointment in his performance, ordering him to leave. The Grimspawn observed this interaction, and the Night Hunter sarcastically commented on their amusement before instructing them to clean the Night Mare's stall, demanding immediate action.

After Sneak, Snivel, and Susan left, the Night Hunter stumbled upon a lone banana in the Shadowkeep. Knowing that Susan would never leave a banana lying around unless looking for something more suitable to eat, the Night Hunter mounted the Dark Pegasus and traveled to the Candy Realm.

There, he encountered the three Grimspawn accompanied by the Dream Chasers, Zoey, and The Insomniacs. Using his crossbow, the Night Hunter the lollipop trees, marshmallow trees, gummy bears and pizza boxes to life with his arrows, using them to assail the dreamers. He taunted the first group of dreamers when they barricaded themselves inside Z-Blob. However, his triumph was short-lived as the second group arrived, arriving in the Crocodile Car. They dislodged the Night Hunter from the pegasus and sent the nightmare creatures fleeing from the Candy Realm.

## Other appearances

### Ninjago - Dream Team

The Night Hunter shows up in Jan's dream realm of Ninjago, where he demands an audience with him before sending Grimkeepers and Grimwolves to attack, only to be thwarted by the Ninja, who are then assisted by the Dream Chasers before Night Hunter had Sneak use the anchor to grab Jan, bringing Max along in the process.

On the ship, Night Hunter interrogates Jan, demanding the Ninja's identity, but he was emotionally distraught before Max then told the former about how they have Elemental Powers, intriguing him, hoping to use them for the Nightmare King. Suddenly, the Ninja's ship, the Destiny's Bounty, shows up where Night Hunter and Wu traded insults before the former sent Grimspawn to attack him, and eventually disabled the ship's port-side thruster. He then witnessed Kai using Wind powers, as opposed to Fire, to keep the Bounty from crash landing before it managed to restart the thruster and ram into the Shark Ship, sending it straight into the cloud to the Grim Realm.

## Personality

The Night Hunter is ruthless, sarcastic, and intimidating.

Despite all those traits, he has little fear of the Nightmare King whenever the latter is angry or chastizes him, as well as complete fear of Grimwolves and the Never Witch. He apparently enjoys being scary as he frightens some Sirens as well as Sneak, Snivel, and Susan. He loathes quitters, which he picked up when Mr. Oz abandoned him and Lunia to save Hannah, ultimately costing him his respect and regard him as a coward. He is also persuasive, as he warns Mateo that he will harm the latter's father and sister if he isn't met with demands.

## Relationships

### Nightmare King

The Night Hunter's loyalty to the Nightmare King is questionable as the former is apparently not scary enough or never on time, but does the job done. However, when Z-Blob was made the new guardian, the Night Hunter does not rescue him.

### Sneak, Snivel, and Susan

The Night Hunter has little respect for the Nightmare King's three generals, such as making them do chores after being chastised by the Nightmare King, as well as chastising them whenever they approach him for something, or when they get his needs wrong. He does however seem more suspicious of Sneak as he was not briefed on the latter deceiving Logan to plant an eye on his hat so the Nightmare King could spy on the Dream Chasers in the Real World as well as when Sneak went to search for him and find some Night Terrors had followed him.

### Mr. Oz

Once friends with Mr. Oz until he abandoned him to save Hannah, the Night Hunter does not hesitate to taunt him and call him out for his cowardice.

### Mateo

The Night Hunter originally believed Mateo was an ordinary dreamer until he discovered he and his sister, Izzie, were dream crafters and later made it his number one priority of taking Z-Blob from the latter upon learning he can cross over to the Waking World, to which he succeeded, and later tried to deceive him in rescuing him upon discovering Mateo has Dream Keeper power upon using Lunia's hourglass and later threatens to harm his father and sister. Mateo is the only one who knows the Night Hunter was once a Dream Chaser.

### Zoey

The Night Hunter has a massive rivalry with Zoey, which began when he stole her childhood song to make it his own theme in a creepier tone.

## Trivia

* His assumed fear of Grimwolves may have come from one taking his left hand.
