The Messengers equip the Hunter with a trick weapon, a firearm and a Notebook. In this place, the Hunter meets the Messengers, the little pale, implike creatures which previously appeared in their nightmare. Using one of the several Lamps scattered throughout the city (or through means of death for the first time, almost always by the Scourge Beast in the clinic), the Hunter discovers the Hunter's Dream, an ethereal, dream-like area. The Hunter then might meet with several other characters like Gilbert and a fellow huntress known as Eileen, who informs them of the dire situation Yharnam is going through. Here, the Hunter encounters hordes of demented townsfolk. Outside the clinic is the district of Central Yharnam. After they wake up, the doctor is nowhere to be found and the Hunter decides to get out of the clinic, and finds a Scourge Beast gorging on a corpse near the entrance. Right after undergoing the transfusion, the Hunter falls unconscious and suffers from a nightmare. A third is that they were aware of the reoccurring nature of the night of the hunt, and hoped to end it permanently by eliminating the source of the Beast Plauge.Īfter making their way to Yharnam, the Hunter ends up in Iosefka's Clinic where a strange-looking doctor is going to perform a blood transfusion on the Hunter to complete their contract.A second is that they hoped to rise above the lowly, violent, and bestial nature of humanity, either literally by becoming a Great One, or by expanding their mind with the Eldritch Truth.They hoped to transcend their humanity and become a Great One, as they are greater than humanity. The note saying they wanted Paleblood in order to transcend the hunt may mean several different goals depending on what "the hunt" is referring to. Paleblood is not shown to be known about by common people unaware of the Eldritch Truth, however the player wrote a note to themselves mentioning it, which implies that they are aware of the Great Ones to some degree. The origins of the Hunter are determined by the players themselves, ranging from a middle-class upbringing, a troublesome childhood, a military background, a member of a noble family, or a talentless weakling among others.Īt some point in their life, the Hunter becomes aware of Paleblood, and goes to Yharnam to obtain and use it to transcend the hunt. This version of the Hunter shouldn't be considered canon as the actual in-game Hunter is customized by the player, including gender, equipment, background, and other features that make the Hunter unique to each player's preference. His weapons of choice are a Saw Cleaver and a Hunter Blunderbuss.


Bloodborne's trailers and concept art depict the Hunter as a male character wearing a black tricorn, a gray duster coat, a pair of brown leather boots, a pair of black gauntlets with golden ornaments and a reddish bandanna covering his face (known as the Hunter Set).
