A mercenary hired for one job by an agency that no longer exists, who keeps not leaving.
Lance Hunter is an SAS lieutenant turned mercenary who joins the rebuilt S.H.I.E.L.D. at Coulson’s request, on a recommendation from his ex-wife Bobbi Morse. Despite a difficult relationship with her he becomes a full-time agent and risks his life to get her back when she is taken. Nick Blood plays him.
He is the show’s way of having somebody in the room who thinks the whole operation is absurd, and it needs one.
Show detailsWhere he goes
After an incident in Russia the two of them leave the agency. A spin-off built around Hunter and Morse was developed and never ordered, which is why their story ends where it does.
