Origin

Phillip Hunter and his twin brother Nick Hunter are the sons of Lt. Ben Hunter. They both followed their father's path by enlisting in the military. Phillip possessed a special emotional sense that allowed him to tell when his brother was in danger, which allowed him to save him from drowning when they were 10 years old. Phil served in the Korean war, and years later signed up for the Vietnam war when he sensed his brother was captured by Viet Cong soldiers. He ventured into Vietnam and ended up rescuing him.
