Appearance
Hunch has a twisted body that gives him a humpbacked appearance<ref name="Cast">'Hunch – A humpbacked cape and friend of Weld, member of Boston’s Wards team. A precognitive with somewhat iffy accuracy, possessed of other powers not yet detailed in full. - Cast (spoiler free)</ref>
Abilities and Power
Hunch is a precognitive with some qualitative difficulties,<ref name="18.4">“And you won’t have another,” Miss Militia cut in. She’d stepped out of the Director’s office next door and into the doorway. “We’re not here to socialize. We got in touch with some thinkers. Eleventh Hour says he gets an ‘eight’. Appraiser’s read says we’re ‘purple’. Rule for any pre-situ call is we get three points of reference, going by thinkers alone, that means a third thinker. The first they were able to get in touch with was Hunch. Your old teammate, Weld.”
“Didn’t think he rated, yet,” Weld said.
“Chief Director Costa-Brown gave the a-ok, and Hunch says it’s bad. All together, we’re calling this a threat level A.” - Excerpt from Queen 18.4</ref> had other un-detailed abilities.<ref name="Cast"/>
History
Hunch was a Case 53 lucky enough to found by the Protectorate before anything really bad happened to him.<ref name="19.4">“I’ve spent years like this,” Gully said. “It’s not just me, either. There’re others. Weld…”
“Hunch,” Weld added. “Gentle Giant, Sanguine.”
“Weld and Hunch, Gentle Giant and Sanguine,” Gully said. “And the others who weren’t even lucky enough to find the Wards or the Protectorate before they found themselves in trouble. It’s not just for me. We need to know for them.” -Excerpt from Scourge 19.4</ref>
Post-Slaughterhouse Nine
Hunch was trying to qualify as an PRT licensed precognizant, when the Echidna incident occurred Chief Director Costa-Brown weighed in on using him as the third reproducible prediction of the severity of coming events to label Echidna as an A-class threat.<ref name="18.4"/>
Post-Echidna
Was allegedly one of the 'monsters' along with Polish, that stayed in the Protectorate following certain revelations.<ref name="I19">► Mock Moniker

Not to mention that there’s rumors Alexandria or Eidolon might step down. There’s a lot of animosity being directed at them from certain groups. Look at this link and this one. The monsters in the Protectorate have almost all left. Only one who stayed, I think, are Hunch and Polish. I’ve been thinking it’s another Bastion incident. Someone higher-up says something racist or offensive, the Protectorate pulls strings to try and cover it up, but offended people are still offended. Run off to make their own team. - Excerpt from Interlude 19 (Donation Bonus #2)</ref>
