Hunter Bell is a fictional business owner and a minor character featured on the science fiction television series Defiance. Played by actor Brendan McCarthy, he appeared in the eleventh episode from season one, "The Bride Wore Black".
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 belligerent 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. [3]
Notes & Trivia[]
