Nathaniel Arkady was a convicted murderer whose execution set in motion the events of Hunter: The Reckoning
Biography[]
Arkady was a werewolf convicted of multiple murders in the town of Ashcroft. He was imprisoned in Ashcroft Penitentiary and scheduled to be executed by electric chair in 2001. Something about the execution went wrong, however, and caused a rift into the Shadowlands to open, unleashing the hostile ghosts of the penitentiary's victims. Hunters Samantha Alexander, Kassandra Cheyung, Esteban Cortez and Spenser Wyatt were on hand to bring the ghosts under control.
A year later, a rave was planned in the now-defunct prison's courtyard specifically to celebrate the anniversary of Arkady's execution. This rave lead to the portal re-opening, drawing the hunters back to Ashcroft once again. While fighting their way toward the prison, the hunters spot Arkady alive, and hypothesize that he's the reason the portal is open. They track him down to the prison's Death Row, only to discover that Arkady was a pawn of warden Jeffrey Degenhardt II and is now possessed by spirits.
Degenhardt eventually kills the spirit-ridden Arkady when the hunters confront him in his attic.
