**Lucas Hunt**, also known as the **Hunter**, is an ancient hunter blessed with immortality by Jesus Christ, and has since then worked in the Vatican's shadow as their greatest assassin.

He is the last guardian of the Fire of Youth, the same fire that was blessed by Jesus that imbued him with immortality.

## Overview

Lucas Hunt was one of the earliest members of the early Church, having been devotedly serving the messages of Jesus ever since the beginning years of Christianity. Throughout the over two thousands years of his life, he had served as the secret bodyguard and assassins of many church leaders, from Saint Peter to Pope Gregory I to Pope Pius V and more.

In the supernatural world, he is known as the Huntsman or the Scourge of Christ, the bane of monsters whose history had influenced the world in subtle ways. To this day, many monsters still considered him to be one of the contributing factors leading to the Monstrum Alliance.

However, during the papacy of Pope Pius IX, due to unknown conflict between him and the high-ranked members of the Vatican, Lucas left the holy order and retreated to an unknown location in the Black Forest of Germany.

## Appearance

Despite his age, Lucas appears as a youthful and handsome man in his early twenty. He has an olive complexion, with shoulders-length and curly dark-colored hair, and a short and well-kept beard. His eyes were once black but after his immortalization, they shifted into a vivid orange color.

However, for the most part, he hides himself under an enchanted hooded cloak, one that transforms his entire face into shadow and erases his presence from third-person view, such as scrying, pictures, or camera footage.

## History

Hunt is a man of mystery whose history remains mostly unknown to the world. He claimed to be born sometime around 76-79 BCE in a family of rich Roman merchants, with four older brothers and a younger half-sister. When he was young, his entire family was slaughtered by a vampire but was luckily saved by a family friend and trained as a hunter.

Since then, he spent his entire life training himself to kill the monster that slaughtered his family, and after over seven decades hunted across the entire known world. In his journey, he traveled across the entire Roman Empire and the nations beyond its borders. Under the cover of night, he came to the nations in the far east and fought demons. Passing through the mist, he ventured into the thick woods of unexplored islands. As he covered himself from the blazing sun, he planned his ways through the territories of dangerous creatures in the dunes.

And yet, after all that hardship, all of the loss and injuries and tragedies befallen onto him along the way, his effort was for naught as the vampire who slaughtered his entire family was killed by another hunter, mere days before he arrived at the scene. And with that, Hunt returned to his old hometown a broken man, having lived a dangerous yet unfulfilling life.

Having spent all of his savings on his journey, which combined with his dying body, he had no choice but to be a beggar, pleading for food and money just to live another day. During this time, many times he contemplated taking his own life, but because of his own honor and his family's last wish, he couldn't and relinquished himself to live aimless for his remaining years.

One night, in a small town in Israel, he came before a blacksmith's house to ask them for food and possibly shelter to sleep through the night. Opening the door and welcoming him inside, however, was not the owner but the smith's two 'guests', Jesus Christ and Saint Peter. As the three of them were warming themselves by the forges' fire, Jesus asked him if he wanted to have another chance at life and, after a long time of pondering, he said yes. Grinning, Jesus told Peter to add more coals into the fire. And as the fire sparked up large and high, Jesus just picked him up and yeeted him into the burning fire to the horror of everyone.

However, instead of being burned to death like he thought he would, Hunt felt like he had just dipped himself into a pool of morning dew, with all of his worries and sorrows faded away. In that short moment, he felt as if he had just died and just been reborn as a new man. Before he knew it, the moment was gone and he rose out of the quenching tub, as naked as the day he was born, looking barely older than twenty with his eyes of fire.

It was that moment when he realized he had just been blessed with the miracle of God. And ever since then, he had been one of Jesus' followers and students, but never from the light but in the shadows where he felt he shone the most. With his skills as a hunter, he joined Judas Iscariot and Mary Magdalene's secret group and became one of the shadows of Christ, living in the dark to protect the Light of the World.
