A hunter is a person that pursues magical beings such as Children of the Moon,Vampires and Shape-shifters. Most hunters wish to push the "demons" into extinction. The hunters must keep themselves physically and mentally strong in order to track and face their opponents. They often uses special weapons coated in vervain and wolfsbane. They also use surprise or stealth tactics, so that they are able to overpower their much stronger opponents.

The hunters follow a code of honor amongs themselves.
 * They only hunt werewovles and vampires who harm humans, and as long as there is proof of these actions.
 * They do not kill younger werewolves, particularly children.
 * They do not kill humans.
 * "Nous chassons ceux qui nous chassent"
 * "We hunt those who hunt us"


 * While the code has few words in covers many situations.

Not all hunters follow the code such as John Whitehill.



Training
  Most hunter's have been trained by their own families. One of the earliest training tests is to have the trainee tied up in a  dark and unknown place. The trainee must break free of their bonds and find the exit in a limited amount of time. After 30 seconds the room bursts into flames from the four corners, the fire slowly spreads across the floor to its victim which is strapped to a post in the middle of the room. This tests the trainee's critical thinking skills and emotional state to stressful situations. If a person is unable to handle the stress they can yell "Stop", which would not only cause the fire to cease but would also result in a Failed grade. If the trainee fails they will have to requalify to take the test again. After completing the test the hunters forge their own silver bullet as a symbol to completing the test and a testament to the code.

 The trainee is also trained in karate and with a weapon of their choice.



Weapons
 Hunters use a variety of different weapons such as guns,bow and arrows or crossbows with flash bolt arrows, wooden bullets, stakes, wolfsband and vervain soaked bullets and daggers.


 * Flash bolt arrows are arrows with explosives attached to the end.
 * Electrified staff: This can weaken a shape-shifter causing them to revert back to their human form. If shock is applied repeatedly it will weaken the shape-shifter to the point that it slows their accelerated healing. The high voltage can kill them.
 * Swords
 * Chainsaw
 * Smoke gernades: provide cover as the hunters enter into buildings or allows them to escape dangerous situations.
 * Infrared goggles to provide night vision for hunting at night.
 * Ultrasonic emitters: produces a noise that can only be heard by supernaturals, the sound is so excruciating that most creatures drop to the ground in pain.
 * Whistle box: tiny speaker that emits a high pitched dog whistle sort of sound to herd children of the moon into a certain direction.
