Thinking about how Hunter has always been unable to produce magic, but he still considered himself a witch, just a “powerless” one. How he held pride in his Golden Guard status, how he was legitimately passionate about his role in the Emperor’s Coven. He was the youngest Golden Guard to be given that title, he was the Emperor’s nephew; he was powerless, yes, but he still held power. And then Hollow Mind happens. Hunter loses everything all at once; the promise of being someone in his uncle’s mind, the seemingly-great status of Golden Guard (his pride), and then he learns that he’s not even just a “powerless witch,” he’s a Grimwalker, a clone or some sort of a human, even, and his entire identity that he’s carved for himself is taken away. So Labyrinth Runners finds him both researching Grimwalkers - trying to find information on his own species and going through multiple books on the subject, and also… he doesn’t seem to consider himself a witch anymore. Any pride he might’ve held for himself has been stripped away, leaving him with a creeping sense of misplaced guilt (that Luz shares) and nowhere, seemingly, for him to belong anymore. Thankfully, though, Hunter’s story is NOT yet over. He still has a narrative to tell; a redemption arc of sorts, though not for his character, just for himself. His journey to find somewhere he belongs, find a family, and most importantly, find pride in himself once more.  -- source link
