Joaquin and Raymond - our Hunters!
Joaquin Hidalgo - former Giovanni ghoul and "failure" firstborn son to necromancer Vincento Hidalgo and eldest brother of the necromantic prodigy, Noa Hidalgo. As a teenager, he had witnessed the death of his father at the hands of armed gunman, only to see him walk through the door some days later - cold and changed, the same but utterly different. Crueler. Joaquin knew this creature was not really his father, and his refusal to truly accept this change got him beaten and bruised by the one person he was supposed to trust in completely. Now a full grown man that has escaped the clutches of the Family, he is using his extensive knowledge of all things vampires and spirits to spitefully fight Supernatural creatures of the night with no mercy. Refusing to bow down against their supremacy over humans.
Raymond Mulder - former Chicago PD, the most normal of normies and black coffee addict, suddenly thrusted into the world of Kindred and their politics after the "suicide" of his lieutenant upon the discovery of vampires within the local government. Not wanting to be a part of this, he attempted to flee with his at the time girlfriend back to her parents in another state, only to find that she was a Kinfolk with a toxic ex-partner who hurt Raymond even further. Scarred both psychologically and physically from dealing with the Supernatural and finding some ACTUAL power bore from that, Ray finally is accepting his fate of being a protector of humanity, unable to ignore the call to action any further.
