One of the main reasons why the Veil existed was because the denizens of the Darkness knew that mortals – squishy as they were – easily outnumbered them ten to one, and were capable of more breathtakingly ignorant actions in the name of survival. Now that it’s gone, some Keepers of the Vigil and supernaturals as a whole are seeing, firsthand, just how bad it can get when you’re dealing with angry lynch mobs who breed like rabbits.
The so-called "renegade Hunters" that have been listed here aren’t a unified faction per se, but are basically Keepers from the “other side” of the Vigil (the ones who believe in the wholesale destruction of the World of Darkness) and the radical human supremacists who are convinced that only “real” human beings deserve to live. They may also belong to compacts or conspiracies or happen to be independents who disagree with the methods of the United Vigil.
LARS HARTZLER Alias: The Good Doctor
FORMER WHITE INQUISITOR-PAWN OF THE METHUSELAH / FORMER MEMBER OF THE WISEMAN'S COMMITTEE OF 2012, FORMER KAISER OF ARKHAM [NEW YORK, USA] BLADIAN OF THE WHISPERING ROAD
Lars might be called “the Good Doctor” by Methuselah operatives, but anyone who has met him will be quick to tell you that the moniker is a really sadistic nickname. From back alley clinic owner-borderline-Slasher to Methuselah Hunter, Lars was brought into the conspiracy after slaughtering an entire blade of Red Pieces that went after him – a security measure, his superiors called it, although many continue to view the decision as psychotic. He has climbed the ranks of the conspiracy through several scientific breakthroughs, ones that were, without a doubt, results of horrific experimentation.

Dr. Hartzler was the one who made the call that sent two planes into the Twin Towers, and a third into the Pentagon. Anything to preserve the Veil, yes?
United Vigil intel indicates that Dr. Hartzler might have taken charge of large forces of Methuselah operatives in America, and is mobilizing them against God Machine, Other World, and United Vigil alike. His precise location in North America is unknown.
