Hunter's past is unknown as he is unemployed and has no relationships. It is implied that his life has been a particularly bad one, since children develop traits that reflect their life, i.e., Neurotic, Mean Spirited, Insane, Loner, and Angler. He has §2,000 in total household funds. The only comfort he has is fishing out in the woods at night for food but most importantly companionship since at least the fish in his aquarium won't bite him.
