Reese Hunter



""Ooops, that was a little close, wasn't it?""

- The Ivanhoe Gambit

Reese Hunter is a former Lieutenant of the United States Army Temporal Corps; he's a deserter with his own chronoplate.

Reese has extremely long hair, streaked with gray, and a long, full beard. His face is youthful with blue eyes that are clear and bright, belying his age.

Hunter has a taste for old-fashioned things so he uses his chronoplate to collect various items from the earth time before the 27th century.

Hunter originally served with the 82nd Airborne.

He arrived in the 12th century as part of the floater division tasked with exploring the time with his team as a group of woodmen. Robin Hood's Merry Men took his team by surprise one night - fifteen to twenty of them to Hunter's seven men - and Hunter's implant was damaged in the process. He lost all the men on his team but he survived with a few wounds and a concussion that possibly caused the malfunctioning of his implant - the device used by Search & Rescue to find (and 'clean up') lost or killed soldiers. Realizing he was alone and essentially untraceable he decided to keep it that way - and deserted.

Book 1: The Ivanhoe Gambit
Hunter first reveals himself when he rescues Lucas Priest after an ambush that leaves Lucas with a crushed implant.

At the end of The Ivanhoe Gambit Hunter takes pity on Andre de la Croix and decides to take the red knight with him.

Book 2: The Timekeeper Conspiracy
By the time of The Timekeeper Conspiracy Hunter takes Andre to 17th-century France seeking an underground contact of his, Jack Bennett, to provide her with the necessary implant technology to help her "catch up" with everything she has to learn as a newly displaced individual.

However, Hunter meets a grisly fate shortly after they arrive and leaves Andre bereft in time.
