even more so than BDB, i need to compile a list of all the characters and their relations with each other for the Dark-Hunter series. there's just so damn many of them.
updated: end of No Mercy
***no more updates. this series is getting to extensive that even keeping up with this list i started is getting to be too much. hopefully my working memory will be enough to keep everyone and everything straight.
these are mostly the main Hunters/ of each of the novels and other important reoccurring characters. their female counterparts (heroine's of each book) are not mentioned unless they themselves are a part of any Hunter category, or other worldly. if they don't have their own listing, they are paired together with their partner.
constantly a work in progress...
