Wayne Savage struggled hard to break the ropes which bound his hands to the metal stairway, but was too weak from the beatings. He had been held captive for at least three days, and every fiber of his body was in agony. Beyond the ringing in his ears he heard the question again, "Where is the code?!" Apparently, his parents had smuggled some code in from eastern Europe shortly before their "accidental" deaths in an auto collision. Wayne had heard about their deaths while on one of his Safari hunts in Africa, but he had no idea that they may have been involved with any kind of covert operations. He had quickly packed up his equipment, including the custom designed crossbow which had made him famous, and headed for the airport to fly home.
But Wayne never made it to the airport; he was abducted in route by three strong men with Russian accents who injected him with a drug that knocked him unconscious. For three days he had been telling them that he had no knowledge of any "code," but the interrogation continued, and Wayne Savage began to think that his life would end there in that hot, dreary place. Suddenly the room grew icy cold and dark mists began to swirl about Wayne's tormentors. A cloaked figure appeared in the room and gestured toward the agents. The Soviets became dizzy and quickly dropped off into a deep slumber. "Who ... are you?" Wayne gasped. "How'd you know I was here?" "My name is Dr. Eric Wraithe, and evil rarely escapes my notice," came the solemn reply. "Actually, I have been searching for you for several days. You see, I have heard of your skill with your specialized crossbow, and I wish to make you a remarkable offer.
The Protectors have need of your ability." Dr. Wraithe proceeded to discuss the unbelievable skill which Wayne had mastered, and suggested that he take on a new identity as a crusader for justice. Attracted by the promise of
adventure, Wayne agreed, and the Huntsman was born. Utilizing the resources of his family's multi-billion dollar industry, the Savage Corporation (SavCo.), Wayne constructed an arsenal of powerful weaponry for use with his customized crossbow.
Mr. Savage is currently the major financial contributor to the Protectors; it was his money that allowed them to open up the training academy. In addition, the Huntsman has been given the specific responsibility of maintaining and piloting the Skycruiser. Three years ago, Wayne gave up the some of the playboy life style to marry his beautiful girlfriend, Jessica. And just four months
ago, Wayne became the proud father of twin babies, Michael and Mindy.

The Huntsman has spent years perfecting his ability as a hunter in the wilds of Africa and South America. He has also developed a highly-specialized crossbow, capable of discharging gadget-equipped bolts with amazing accuracy. In battle,Wayne will often take a high position and fire at targets below him. His biggest weakness is hand-to-hand combat, and Wayne will avoid it whenever possible. The Huntsman is very selective with his bolts, using flare and explosion missiles to eliminate agents and his various Energy Blasts for more powerful opponents.

As a businessman, Wayne Savage is the stereotypical "yuppie." He is motivated by financial concerns, drives a silver BMW, dresses according to GQ, and is always seen at the "right" parties. As the Huntsman, Wayne plays out his fantasies of being a swashbuckler. He frequently uses lines on old movies, and never misses a chance to swing into action from a rope. The Huntsman often views his participation in the Protectors as a sort of game; he does not realize the kind of deadly danger that he is actually facing. To Wayne, everything will have a happy ending somehow.
