| Voice Artist: | Jackson Publick | ||

Colonel Hunter Gathers was the first contact Brock Samson met when he was initiated into the Office of Secret Intelligence. Gather's brutal training was at least partly resposible for turning Brock into the hardass he is today. Brock has described the Colonel as the second closest thing that he has ever had to a father.
In Assassinanny 911 Brock was contacted by his handlers in order to find Hunter Gathers. Gathers had gone A.W.O.L with forty million dollars of the OSI's money and a plastic surgeon kidnapped from "the enemy". Brock is dispatched to an island in Macronesia in order to take Hunter out permanently.
Brock reached Hunter's lair only to find his old mentor unconscious on a table. As Brock prepares to kill him, the plastic surgeon stops him and gives him a message from the Colonel. Brock takes no heed and lifts up the sheets covering Hunter. He's shocked to discover the Colonel's undergone a sex change operation. Brock leaves her to live his, er...i mean, her life, after double checking the bottom parts just to be sure.
[edit] Big Beautiful Tits
In Orb, Hunter Gathers is again seen. She gives Brock some info on Operation Rusty's Blanket (ORB) which might mean he has to kill Rusty. She then reappears in the season finale. Samson, failing to kill Rusty per the orders regarding 'ORB', goes on the run believing OSI wants him dead for disobeying orders. Gathers provides Samson with a car and a list of assassins purportedly hired by OSI to kill Brock. It is revealed that Gathers, working in conjunction with mercenary Molotov Cocktease, misled Brock in order to have Samson eliminate the assassins. Gathers and Cocktease have started a new criminal organization, the all-female Blackhearts. Samson has eliminated their competition, leaving them alone at the top of the murder-for-hire heap.
[edit] Real-World Inspiration
Hunter's (pre-op) appearance, voice, and general mannerisms are modeled after those of the late "gonzo" journalist Hunter S. Thompson, who is known primarily as the writer of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and The Hell's Angels, among many other books and essays.
