@nectaric Asked: You Should Tell Me More About An Assassin's Creed Verse For Hunter. How Does He Fit
@nectaric asked: you should tell me more about an assassin's creed verse for hunter. how does he fit in? is he still a ghost? how does he behave as a ghost? this ask is all over the place but basically he intrigues me and i wanna know mORE
omg absolutely !!
well first of all i have to give a huge shout out to apis ( @shadxwcd / @singofus ) for introducing me to this concept because , full disclosure , i have never played an assassin's creed game 🫣 but i have done a fair amount of cut scene watching and wiki deep dives . the best one that he would fit in with , time period wise for his main storyline , would be assassin's creed: syndicate ( 2015 ) .
hunter was born in 1831 , enrolled in oxford in 1849 , graduated in 1852 , lost his mother in 1853 and began to become a man ho of all kinds , and was murdered in 1865 in his family's country home during a party . by 1868 — the same year as the frye twin's father's death and their move to london — he's in much more control of his ghostly powers , including accessing the spirit side of london , where the dead who cannot move on go . it's a sort of limbo space , and it's where he exists when he's not currently manifested anywhere specific in the living world .
he can use this ability to strengthen evie's connection to the spiritual world ( something she's much more in tune with than her brother ) , by bringing spirits to her or acting as a medium . in more touching moments , he could try to find ethan frye ( or even cecily frye ) to provide some closure and reassurance to evie ( and jacob , if he ever feels like listening ) . he can also be an excellent spy — possessing people , observing thoughts , standing invisible in rooms , moving through walls — it's all there babey !!
in return , he hopes that the living can help figure out who killed him and perhaps give him closure so he can move on .
the most helpful he can be is definitely during the events of the syndicate dlc , featuring jack the ripper . having a ghost on your side during a serial killing spree is very helpful — and reassuring , when he says no one has found your missing brother's soul anywhere on the other side , meaning he's still alive . somewhere 🙃 ( it also means you have someone who does not have to sleep who can watch over you as said serial killer keeps taunting you ... making it hard to sleep & leading to hallucinations 😬 )
as for personal development , hunter absolutely was upper class !! his family profited off of the same terrible conditions the frye twins try to rectify !! and now that he's dead and he's the invisible one , hunter has to do some growing in that regard . it teaches him a lot about privilege and desperation , though he does remember what it was like to be alive , and he misses it . he thinks he would be a better man now , if he was allowed to come back to life .
( many of his proclivities are lifted from simon basset and placed in hunter , though i recognize hunter's life begins after the bridgerton setting concludes , as it is not regency london he is set in . i have also never seen bridgerton ... oops !! )
