Gene

""I remember the Hunt from ten years ago. How for months afterward I didn’t dare fall asleep because of the nightmares that would invade my mind: hideous images of an imagines Hunt, wet and violent and full of blood. Horrific cries of fear and panic, the sound of flesh ripped and bones crushed puncturing the night stillness.""

- Gene

Gene is the 17-year-old protagonist of The Hunt Trilogy. During the majority of his childhood, he grew up with his father only, as his mother and sister were killed a couple of years prior to The Hunt. Being the only human, or "heper", in a society dominated by vampires, he's accustomed to living alone and to not attract too much attention to himself. Gene is later on chosen to participate in The Hunt.

Early life
Gene grew up with his father for the majority of his childhood, as his mother and sister were killed prior to the series taking place. He had a good relationship with his father. His father would hide different objects around the house and make Gene try to find it. One day, he accidentally lost a tooth in the school cafeteria, attracting unwanted attention. He emailed his father, tried to stay calm, and got home before anyone figured out that the smell of human blood came from Gene. When his father got home, only fifteen minutes after Gene, Gene cried and asked his father why they even bothered to hide, instead of turning.
