Canon
For a long time Hunter had been kept away from young witches who are close to his age and didn't how to be one himself. This has him going in blind when he sneaked into Hexside to gather new recruits. At the same time Willow and Gus were trying to start up their own flyer derby team. Once Willow saw the way Hunter flew on his staff, she dragged him down to her and Gus so they could ask him to join their team. Seeing it as the best way to find those recruits he agrees to hear them out, while using the name "Caleb" to hide his true identity. As Gus was unsure of him from either he or Willow have never seen Caleb at their school before, while Willow was exited to have someone of his talent in their team. Shortly after seeing the trouble Gus was having with his staff and wasn't impressed with the other teammates, however, Hunter wanted out and to have nothing to do with those who have no use to his uncle's coven. Willow asks their new friend to give them a chance but "Caleb" wasn't having any of it, until she got him to stick around long enough to see Gus master his way of flying and the other good qualities of their teammates. Hunter enjoyed playing flyer derby with Willow, Gus and the others and comes up with their team name.

After "Caleb" revealed himself to be the Golden Guard and got scout grunts to bring the new recruits in, Willow and Gus felt betrayed. They had trusted him and he didn't seem to care that they were in cage, while Hunter talks about them "joining" the Emperor's Coven. Hunter tried to seek support from Willow, but she was too upset with getting herself and her friends in their current situation. Even Gus was angry at Hunter, who was starting to regret his actions after hearing Willow call herself "half-a-witch" and remembering the gate that awaits their palismen. Realising that he has made a huge mistake and getting his cloak back wasn't worth harming those who saw him as a friend, Hunter raced to their rescue and protected them from Darius. Seeing this got Willow to see that there was good in Hunter, while Gus still wasn't sure about him. Thanks to Darius giving Hunter a scroll he was able to stay in touch with them.

With Hunter being unable to return back to the Emperor's Coven from what he saw, Hunter found himself moving an abandoned room at Hexside. Where he stayed hidden until he was found by Gus. Who was feeling felt out from the number of times Willow was hanging out with Amity, and due to their last encounter with the Golden Guard Gus assumed that Hunter had something to do with Luz's absence. Only to learn that Hunter was surprised that the human girl was missing. Realising that Hunter was telling the truth, he gave him his lunch before leaving to find Willow.

Fanon
The Emerald Trio soared soon after Willow and Gus excepted Hunter as a friend in "Labyrinth Runners," that has the two Hexside student being the former Golden Guard into a hug. The support on this Owl House continued to grow each time new moments between the three were featured in the last half of season two and throughout season three. Fans like the way that Willow and Gus are helping Hunter to be a kid than a soldier, since he had started off as an enemy to Luz and Amity before they became friends was well, while Gus and Willow excepted him a lot faster than the two girls have.

After a possessed Hunter told Belos what he would like to do with those who have become his friends, has inspired fans to draw Hunter doing those things with Willow and Gus. Who are his flyer derby teammates and are students at Hexside. Like with Luz, people see the two helping Hunter to adjust to school life and being around people his how age. The number of times and fan art that has been made of the three young witches, however, it got some people to feel that Hunter was taking Luz's place in the trio group she became apart of with Gus and Willow.
