#this is why constantin will be a slooow burn

The most well-kept secret of Darkrow is how hunters came to be, these coldly detached people that keep a distance from the very thing they are vowed to protect, humanity. It isn't widely known that hunters are half-human and half-supernatural, their blood needing to be mixed to survive the inhumane conditions of their training, otherwise they risk never making it back to the surface.

The Cages. An underground maze of cages and large pits acting as training grounds that reek of old blood and burnt flesh, recruits being subjected to tortuous fights, gruelling punishments and sleepless nights.

In order to survive The Cages, recruits needed to become just as cruel and numb as the methods used against them, some even gaining a sick enjoyment from it, proving their worth to become Hunters and devote their lives to slaying monsters in the Darkrow Royal Family name. 

This place of creation for hunters, is the very reason hunters come off as these desensitised brutes that only show a resemblance of excitement when cutting down beasts. 

Welcome to The Cages, not many are strong enough to make it out with their mind intact.
