And so there is Hunter's new profile with and explination as to where he has been. I'm reposting the old profile here because I like it:
Character's real name: Hunter Antonescu
Codename/Alias: n/a
Gender: Male
Age: 437
Nationality/Ethnicity: Romanian
Birthplace: Transylvania
Personality: Hunter is a cold and calculating individual, tirelessly pursuing his goals. Being as old has he is he has experience of the full range of emotions and, while often cold and calculating, bordering on cruel, he can also display great affection for someone he cares for and do all he can to protect them.
Notes (Hobbies, Phobias, Worries, ect.): Hunter has had the time to indulge in many pass times over the years, and is an accomplished pianist, violinist, artist and singer. While his abilities make him confidant, his vulnerability to wood means that he steers clear of it and never has any wooden object in either his homes or his work places.
Allegiance (Good, Bad, or Neutral): Bad
Everyday clothing: Hunter often wears a sharp, crisp black business suit. While training he wears black trainers and tracksuit bottoms with a white vest and black sports jacket. He has an extensive and expensive wardrobe, with an outfit for any occasion.
Uniform (Optional. Required if eventually becoming part of the X-Men): When hunting Hunter dons full length red leather coat over combat trousers and army boots, going bare chested.
Pyjamas: Hunter sleeps in black silk pyjama bottoms.
Hair colour and style: Hunter has shoulder length black hair, often tied back.
Eye colour: His eyes are silver.
Height: 6’2”
Build: Muscular, but not heavy set.
Scars: Hunter has several scars across his chest from where people have attacked him over the years. While he hides them during normal social interactions, he wears them proudly while hunting.
Tattoos: None
Piercings: None
Description of ability(ies): Hunter is the origin of the vampire myths. His blood, while giving him enhanced strength, speed, agility, senses (especially exceptional night vision) and healing, cannot carry oxygen. He requires human blood to breathe. His canines can extend and he uses them to drain blood from his victims. So long as he can continue to drain human blood at least once every three days he does not age. He has looked a little older than twenty for over four centuries now. Along with his physical abilities he has low level telepathic abilities, allowing him to mesmerise victims with his eyes as well as giving him resistance to psychic attacks. Since the discovery of mutants Hunter has discovered a side effect to draining mutant blood. He gains a portion of their powers, so were he to drain Storm’s blood he would gain limited weather control (half the strength of Storm's), and only for half an hour. Hunter can only utilise three powers in this fashion at any one time, and no more than two physical powers (like Kaz and Terrance) and no more than two non physical (like Tricity and Raven Fire).
Cons (weaknesses) of ability(ies): He is exceptionally allergic to wood. Any injury caused by wood takes a long time to heal, even longer than it would for a normal human. All of his scars were caused by wooden weapons.
Fighting style (if any): Having lived for as long as he has Hunter has taken the time to learn most martial arts to a master level. He combines them to form his own unique style, utilising both his physical abilities and combat skills to deadly effect. Also he is proficient with any hand to hand weapon, but has only used a fire arm once in a training session with Shogun to demonstrate the Samurai’s armour.
History of your character: Hunter was born the son of a peasant in Transylvania. He looked like he would live the simple life of a peasant until his mutant abilities emerged. At first his abilities frightened him, and he hid them from everyone, but the hunger for blood grew in him. Eventually he succumbed, and fed off cattle. After draining his first living creature of its blood, he came to realise the true power within him. He was no mere mortal, but something else, something greater. Utilising his newfound powers he overthrew the ruling count, instilling himself as ruler of Transylvania. He moved from feeding on cattle to feeding off humans, stalking them in the night and draining them dry. It was his nocturnal hunts that gave birth to the vampire myths.
He swiftly became a wealthy noble, and when he discovered that he wasn’t aging he devised a plan to hide his powers. Travelling often, he would pose as a descendant of himself, one with an uncanny likeness of his forefather. During his travels he accumulated great wealth, as well as spreading the vampire myth across the globe.
In 1782 he met the only woman he has ever truly loved. Katherine Oswald. He courted her, and they married a year later. The next fifty years were the happiest in his life. When he told her of his powers, she did not abandon him, instead she let him drink form her, for he only needs to take enough to breath, not drain someone dry. Thus she always looked pale and fragile, but for a time Hunter didn’t immerse himself in bloodshed. However, as the years wore on Katherine began to wither with age, while Hunter remained unchanged. Fearing that she would become too weak if he continued to feed off her he bought cattle, and fed off them instead. While the taste was foul, it was far better than weakening his aging wife.
In 1836, forty eight years after they met, Katherine died. Hunter was beside himself with grief that drove him into a bloody rage he stormed across Europe, leaving a path of slaughter in his wake. Eventually, when he reached the Russian steppes, his fury was spent, leaving him a hollow man. It was then that he resolved never to love again. He built walls around his heart, locking away his emotions. Stripping away his humanity he left only a cold, calculating mind, and the primal joy of the hunt. While he has taken lovers since Katherine’s death, he has never developed an emotional attachment with any.
Using the wealth he had gathered he started up several companies, a few of which have flourished, so he no longer has to assassinate lords and nobles to acquire money, as he is the owner of a few multi-national companies that, while he is not directly involved in the running of, have attained him a substantial fortune allowing him to pursue his own personal projects.
When mutants were discovered, Hunter realised that he was no supernatural creature, but a mutant, and he began to use his fortune to study his unique biology and determine the cause of his powers. When he found the alterations in his blood he began to wonder, what would happen if he replaced a human’s blood with his own? Would he be able to create more like him? The possibilities have caused him to come to America, in search of some of the most predominate researchers into blood in an effort to determine if his plan is viable, and if it is, to begin to implement it, and create a new race, a stronger race. A race in his image.
However much has interfered with that plan and it is currently on hold. The discovery of powerful mutant groups has caused Hunter to form his own in response. Originally the Kabal was intended as an elite strike group, but it has become something more. The variety of mutants he has on the payroll allows him to pick and choose the right ability for each mission.
Hunter has recently discovered his “daughter”, a woman created as one of Hunter’s attempt to combine mutant powers to make a living weapon. The project was abandoned due to an irrevocable flaw, and Hunter ordered Paragon’s gems removed so she could live as a human.
His orders were not carried out, and as such Paragon, know to the world as Iris, still has her powers. Hunter recently met his daughter, but it did not go well and she stormed off hating him. The loss of Paragon is one of the factors that has driven him to begin to form a bond with Katrina, a young mutant which the Registration law has forced to take refuge, along with many others.

Sample RP: Hunter stepped off the plane. It had been a long flight, but he was here. His assistant, Sabrina, had already phoned ahead and a car should be waiting for him outside the airport. While he would stay in a hotel for the moment, he was going to have Sabrina look into finding him a more permanent place of residence.
“Mr Antonescu!” A man in the arrivals hall called to him. Hunter gave the man a glance, and saw that it was the scientist with whom he had spoken to on the phone.
“Dr Crispen,” he said with a beaming smile, “how nice of you to meet me in person.”
“Any man looking to donate as much money as you have promised to our research deserves more than a simple thank you over the phone,” Dr Crispen replied eagerly.
“Well I am honoured none the less, for I know you are a busy man.”
“You flatter me. Please, come with me,” he gestured towards the exit, “I have spoken to your assistant, Miss Preda, and we have a car organised to take you to your hotel.”
“Most kind of you Dr Crispen,” Hunter followed him outside. The chauffer opened the car door for him, and he and Dr Crispen got inside.
“There is a question that I have been dying to ask you Mr Antonescu…”
“Please,” Hunter interrupted, “Call me Hunter. “
“Very, well, Hunter. What I wanted to ask was what has interested you in our research?”
“Well,” said Hunter, recalling the perfectly prepared lie, “My nephew has contracted AIDs, and the unique idea of attempting to cure the diseases by completely replacing the patient’s blood seemed both revolutionary and fascinating. Knowing that I could contribute my families wealth to helping not only my nephew, but AIDs victims all over the world, what sort of man would I be if I didn’t help you?”
Dr Crispen smiled broadly at this, and Hunter beamed back. “Why Mr Anton… Hunter, I do believe that you are exactly the sort of man that we have been looking for.”
“I’m glad to help. I was wondering, would it be possible to have a tour of your labs?” Hunter asked, “I would love for an opportunity to have a look at the research being carried out.” Not to mention seeing whether or not they were close to a test of the procedure.
“But of course, I’ll arrange a visit for some time next week. For now, I wish you a pleasant stay in New York Hunter.”
The car pulled up outside the hotel and Hunter shook Dr Crispen’s hand before getting out of the car and booking into his suit. Soon he would see if these people could accomplish what he wanted, or whether he would have to search else where. For now he had some time to kill, and he was getting hungry.
