[edit] Fictional character biography
Albrecht von Mannheim is a re-incarnation of a German warrior, who is allied by a horse (Orkan) and a hound (Donnerschlag). His first known mission was helping the Wonder Twins find a villain. As a member of the Global Guardians, he was later brainwashed by the Queen Bee of Bialya. He and his allies Rising Sun and Tuatara each attack a separate New Nazi stronghold. The Hunstman and his animals personally destroy a facility belonging to the Aryan Nation. He confronts the Justice League members Animal Man and Captain Atom. Upon defeat, he and his animals fell into a coma.
He and his animals are taken care of at a medical facility inside the prison of Belle Reve in the United States. At a signal from the Queen Bee, he and his animals awaken, bust open a wall and escape. He returns to Biayla and is duly brainwashed into the Queen Bee's goals. When questioned why she did not keep the Hunstmen and the others in Bialya, the Queen Bee indicates she would rather other countries pay for the care of the heroes.
A few years later, he disappears in battle with Fain Y'onia. Whether the Huntsman is dead or alive is to be unknown.
