Kaylie Winter is a an Imbued hunter of the Redeemer Creed who appeared in the console games Hunter: The Reckoning and Hunter: The Reckoning - Redeemer.
Biography[]
Kaylie Winter is a survivor of the supernatural outbreak in Ashcroft that happened in 2002. Kaylie was originally rescued by a band of hunters composed of Father Esteban Cortez, Spenser "Deuce" Wyatt, Samantha Alexander, and Kassandra Cheyung. But upon returning to her parents, her teddy bear transformed into a hideous monster, killing both her parents. This tragedy of events subsequently orphaned and imbued the young girl, and at the same time, she would later be taken under the care of Father Cortez.
In the ten years since the outbreak, Father Cortez trained Kaylie to help hone her hunter powers as the years went by. She became a skilled hunter in her own right, even if her creed as a Redeemer caused friction with other hunters. In 2012, Kaylie and her mentor Father Cortez would eventually return to Ashcroft to aid another fellow hunter named Xavier Lucien and his company, Genefex, with the help of Esteban's fellow hunters from the previous Ashcroft incidents.
Background Information[]
At the tender age of 8, Kaylie watched as her parents were butchered by a demonic 10-foot teddy bear. At that moment, she was imbued and thrust into the ranks of the Chosen. For the past ten years, she has trained under Father Esteban Cortez. Her fighting and deductive skills have been honed razor sharp. While the other Hunter led relatively "normal" lives before their imbuing, Kaylie has few memories of her past. The only life she knows is of the Hunt on the path of Redemption. Kaylie's motivation when she confronts monsters is not to kill, but to understand what makes them work in order to defeat her enemies. Her hope is that a nonviolent solution can be reached whenever possible.

(Hunter: The Reckoning - Redeemer)[]
- (Kaylie's Narration) - "William Jameson founded Ashcroft around a coal mining operation in 1827, In 1865 over a hundred workers were trapped in an access tunnel that was filling with water, Jameson Determined that is more cost-effective to hire new workers than to blast them out, it took them 6 hours to die. In 1912, 35 children disappeared over the course of the summer, only five of their partial remains are ever recovered. In 1946, a group of vampires moves in the prison and begins a 50 year reign of torture and terror, the inmates are used like cattle and these actions prompt the larger undead insurrection in ancient history. Only the intervention of 4 remarkable individuals when my own adopted father saves the town from destruction, It is impossible to commit so many atrocities in a single place without consequence. Ashcroft is a city built on the bitter remains of 4 Generations. It is a magnet for the things that keep us awake at night. If we were smart we paid the whole damn town over and turn it into the world's biggest haunted parking lot."
- "Esteban, they're going all urban warfare in here. Do you see anything outside?"
- "What if they don't show? It's been five years ... and you know they don't want to come back here.
- "No."
- "Do you really want to do this?"
- "Leave."
- "No Deuce, he's a Hunter. Leave him be."
- "His name is Xavier Lucien. He's the CEO of Genefex. For the past 2 months, werewolves and those other creatures have been hijacking Genefex shipments and attacking their warehouses. And now I know why. How long have you been hunting them?"
- "No."
- "You're an idiot. We're all idiots. And I can't believe you're going to let it happen again."
- "I'm not moving."
- "I watched my stuffed teddy bear disembowel my parents when I was 8 years old... you think a middle aged man in leather chaps in gonna scare me?"
- "Think for a minute Sam. The werewolves knew... and we didn't. We've been killing them for Lucien and I won't do it anymore. I won't let you do it either, Deuce. We know, WE KNOW that Lucien's behind this. Genefex makes this shit and then laces it in everything they sell... and he's even got Carpenter pushing it. Imbued or not, Lucien is pure evil. And he's got something so Powerful helping him, that it has Carpenter scared out of his undead mind. Do you really think that Carpenter was helping by sending us here? Carpenter? They want us to kill this werewolf, and every werewolf. They've got us so busy killing each other we're ignoring the real problem. How far up your ass does his hand need to be before you realize you're a puppet?"
- "Wait... where's Esteban... NO! Let me go dammit! ESTEBAN!!
- (Ending) - It is impossible to commit so many atrocities in a single place without consequence. Ashcroft is a city built on the bitter remains of 4 Generations. It is a magnet for the things that keep us awake at night.)
