Biography
Hunter Bell was the original owner of the NeedWant. He gave Kenya Rosewater her first job upon her arrival in Defiance and eventually married her. Hunter was a surly and belligerant man who was abusive to his wife, and did not look fondly upon the other races living in Defiance, in particular, Castithans.

Hunter uncovered the truth about Mayor Nicolette Riordon being a member of the Indogene race. With the help of Meh Yewll, Riordon murdered Hunter and concealed his body inside of a false wall in the back of the NeedWant. Jered Kikema - a witness to the event, assisted them as well.

Seven years later, in 2046, a fight between Alak Tarr and some young Castithans broke away a portion of the wall, revealing Hunter Bell's corpse. Chief Lawkeeper Joshua Nolan and his deputy, Tommy LaSalle (who knew Hunter) investigated the crime.
