The Hunting Squad

The Hunting squad (Hunting Party/ Hunting Brigade) are a group who use each others abilities to their advantage as a team to carry out their main purpose of hunting down and destroying the Wyler. They form the main characters of the series and are in constant conflict against the main antagonist.

Founding of the Hunting Squad
The Hunting squad was formed by elite hunter Sir Beardful when he encountered the Wyler with members from the Hunting Society. As the sole survivor of a deadly attack he took it upon himself to study the Wyler and made it his priority to destroy the creature as his greatest challenge in his career. After the Hunting society was dissolved, Beardful searched for a team of talented individuals who could assist him in his feat. The first to join were famed documentary presenter Rhys Attenborough and his cameraman Pablo, who had heard rumors of the Wyler and agreed to helping Beardful in the hopes the footage of such a creature would allow his show to take off once more. Together they scouted out a suitable team of talented men with unique specialties suited to the task at hand that would bring them all together.

Among the first to join was Felix; new blood in the practice of hunting, but very promising and a solid candidate for a point man in the team. The rogue Priest Thomas soon followed and offered his abilities of uplifting the squad's spirits, making him a fundamental part of the squad. Tracker Jahul was scouted and he too was incredibly valuable as his senses allowed him to track down beasts of all kinds, and so in the hunt for the Wyler he was very much relied upon. The last to join was Mat the scientist, who could offer valuable knowledge on the study of the Wyler, giving insight into the weaknesses it could have and developing new equipment for the group.

Trip to Bedford Rise
The Hunting Squad first saw action when they tried to investigate the supposed residence of the Wyler on Bedford Rise. Though no evidence or sightings came about this trip, footage captured by Pablo and what can be seen in the Wyler Teaser Trailer shows the squad working together, with Beardful, Rhys, Mat and Cooper demonstrating knowledge of the Wyler and how not to aggravate it, and calling to attempt to lure the Wyler out.
