Hunter's story
Hunter Steele is a male Spider Rider. In the beginning, Hunter enters a temple to follow his ancestor's footsteps. When he breaks down part of the temple wall--it looks like a doorway--he stumbles upon a treasure and finds the manacle attached to his arm. After a brief series of events, Hunter finds himself in Arachna kingdom, where the story begins

Family
Although he is never seen, Hunter's Grandfather, Digger Steele, was the one who told Hunter stories of the inner world. Strangely, Hunter has never said to have any family or friends from the Outerworld. This further leads us to conclude that he is an orphan. Besides, what parent in his right mind would allow a child to go climbing alone in an ancient temple?

Appearance
Throughout the series, Hunter(like most anime characters) wears the same outfit every time:brown shoes with jean shorts, a white T shirt and a red vest. The one thing that seems to stand out is his head band, which has four emerald green gems embedded onto it. Hunter never seems to take it off, not even to sleep, showing that it might have some historical value.

Powers
Being an Earthen, Hunter has no powers or abilities at the start of the series, but as the series progresses, he becomes more and more dedicated and even starts to train. Later on, when separated from the others, Corona even attempts to call him on his Manacle, although she can purely be heard, Hunter is actually busy thinking of new battle strategies by drawing in the sand, although he is later snapped out of this after he accidently hangs up on Corona when his partner, Shadow, points out what just happened.

Spider Rider form
As a Spider Rider, Hunter has access to a battle uniform by shouting 'Arachna Power'. He has his own special weapon, an Axel Pix. However, Hunter doesn't have signature attacks without the Oracle Keys--excluding the last episode during his fight with Mantid. One of his signature moves he does have--with the help of two Oracle Keys--is the Blue Bolt, allowing him to slice through even the toughest of armors. His form grows more powerful as the series progresses, due to better control and more experience at fighting. His armor does change with the power of the Oracle Keys, constantly shifting as the battles get tougher. In truth he does have signature attacks they are blue wave and lance of light.

Hunter Steele's Friends
While he becomes friends with the other seven Spider Riders, Corona is the first human friend Hunter makes while in Arachna. There is a high chance that he has a crush on her, but he could also have a crush on Aqune, proven in the last episode. His best friend becomes Shadow, his spider, as the series progresses. Because of his caring nature and willingness to help, Hunter finds it easy to become friends with many of the denizens of the Inner World.

Hunter's personality
Despite his bull-headedness, Hunter seems to be able to make a friend out of everyone. His caring nature for those in need can lead him to rush recklessly into battle. However, rushing head-long is his usual battle strategy. His motto--"Never Give Up!"--ultimately reflects his most dominant personality trait. Hunter loves to eat and talk. He can be rather lazy, and if given a day off, he could easily sleep the whole day. &lt;Back Page Next Page &gt;
