Pedro Cortez is a hunter of the Avenger Creed.
Overview[]
Cortez is not on hunter-net, but he became known there from the postings of his ally and colleague Traveler72. Now, he's well known among hunters across the United States - where he, like Traveler, often shows up to aid fellow hunters in times of need.
Pedro is a migrant laborer - he owns a rickety van and follows the harvest across the nation, working by day and hunting by night. Imbued he's helped describe him as a fearless, almost suicidal, hunter of spectacular (probably supernatural) physical prowess and uncompromising pride. Although dirt poor, he refuses to accept charity from anyone, even his fellow imbued. Cortez would rather see his children go hungry than be beholden. He wants to send a message to all the rots, invisibles and flickers out there. He wants them to know their days are numbered, and his bravado expresses itself through direct, physical confrontation.
Hunter-net usually greets descriptions of his valor with incredulity. It seems a miracle that he hasn't been killed yet. Even more miraculous, his family has not (yet) suffered reprisals from the enemy.
His efforts may even be working. Some hunters have noticed that their cities' beasts seem to lay low during harvest season.
Profile[]
Pedro doesn't have much, but what he has is all his own. He owes nothing to anyone, and he prides himself that no one can call him debtor. He is a deeply proud man, refusing to acknowledge anyone - or anything - as his better. Others may have more wealth or knowledge or property - but he is the master of his own fate, and he answers only to himself.
