The Protagonist
Alex Hunter is the protagonist for much of the series, and the primary audience identification figure. He arrives in Strangehaven after a car accident in which he sees a ghostly vision on the road ahead of him. As he is estranged from his wife, whom he discovered was committing adultery, Alex has little reason to leave Strangehaven - which is useful, as the village itself does not seem to permit him to go outside the forest and coastline around it; any attempt to go further causes him to loop back in on Strangehaven. Alex is interested in Janey Jones, although their relationship seldom runs smooth, and works alongside her at Strangehaven's primary school. Alex has become the focus of two secret groups in Strangehaven: The Knights of the Golden Light, a secretive lodge who want to control Strangehaven's power, and thus the world, and a small coven of witches run by Dor. He is superseded as the protagonist by Sergeant Clarke in the issues directly after Strangehaven #12.
