Meet the cast of Huntik: Secrets and Seekers

The Huntik Foundation:

Lok Lambert was just a normal, fun-loving high school kid, struggling to stay awake in his classes and wishing for a life of adventure. After finding his father's Amulet and becoming a Seeker, Lok puts his enthusiasm, intuition and natural talent to the test as he is introduced to Sophie Casterwill, Dante Vale, and the world of Seekers in Huntik. A childhood playing games with his father has gifted Lok Lambert with an uncanny knack for puzzles, and now Lok takes on ancient riddles every day of the week. Learning under fire, Lok improves by leaps and bounds, on his way to becoming a top Huntik Seeker. When he needs a hand, he calls on Cherit, a capricious winged Titan who is filled with wise advice on the ancient world of Titans and Seekers.

Sophie Casterwill is a book-smart, athletic, honorable and clever young lady of about Lok's age. She seems to be quite proper and mature, but she's not afraid to dish out some punishment when the action gets rolling. Sophie thinks that what she learns in books can prepare her for the real world, and that gets her into trouble. As the last surviving noble of the Casterwill family, Sophie has been raised from birth to be a Seeker. She is not actually part of the Huntik Foundation, but they have an alliance based on the need to fight evil. When talking gets to nowhere, Sophie Casterwill uses powerful attack and defense magic along with Sabriel, an elegant Titan that favors speed over brawn.

As the top Operative of the Huntik Foundation, Dante Vale is the king of treasure hunters. With the mind of a hard-boiled detective, the body of an extreme sports athlete and the nerves of a cowboy gunslinger at High Noon, Dante leads the team and serves as a big-brother to Lok. Dante Vale is the Huntik Foundation's top Seeker and the leader of the adventuring group of Lok, Sophie, and Zhalia. Known worldwide for his wit, strength, and collection of powerful Titans, Dante is a friend to every hero and an enemy to every villain. Along with his signature Titan, the powerful Caliban, Dante Vale has played an enormous role in several major events in the modern Seeker world.

Zhalia Moon is a tough, streetwise, elegant and a capable lone wolf, always ready to take on her team's good humor with her sharp tongue and sarcasm. Few understand the true Zhalia Moon. The variety of roles she has played in the lives of those around her is vast: orphan, daughter, protege, operative, villain, hero, and friend.


The Organization:

The ultimate dominator, The Professor lives to control. He is capable of being sly and manipulative, but rarely has to resort to such actions. Normally, the absolute fear he inspires is enough. The Professor has no ethics, and will do anything to expand The Organization and his power base. He is also the type who likes to manage every facet of The Organization himself, and make every decision personally. If any of his underlings fail him, he will not hesitate to have them removed.

Defoe is a scheming, self-proclaimed mastermind. He leads the small force ordered to track down Lok?s journal and demands total obedience, even though his tactics often put his own men in serious danger. Defoe is willing to do anything to complete his missions, no matter how depraved and evil. Alongside his loyal right-hand man, Grier, DeFoe's mission has been the same for months: track Dante Vale and his team of Huntik Foundation Seekers and stop them from interfering in the Organization's plans. With endless hatred, Huntik DeFoe pursues Dante and friends using his squad of Suit operatives, his signature Titan, the venomous Kreutalk, and an array of poisonous powers.

[FONT=Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-serif]Grier serves as Defoe's right hand man. Rarely speaking, he seems to be an ordinary thug at first, but he carries himself with a subtle nobility. Grier believes that with The Organization's domination, there will come universal order that will keep all people in line and prevent wars. In combat, Grier uses magic that makes him faster and much stronger than any normal human. With him fights Breaker, a mighty Titan that hits hard with a combination of strength and speed.[/FONT]


f_Suits2m_d49ea14.png


[FONT=Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-serif]The Suits are the lowest minions of The Organization. Dressed in dark suits, they are the pawns Organization operatives use to achieve their nefarious goals. The Suits' greatest asset is their sheer numbers, but they also make capable[/FONT]spies and are excellent at information gathering. In battle, The Suits fight with a variety of magic and Titans. Just as The Organization brings about cold, unfeeling order with the help of savage evil deeds, its troops fight both with the cold Mindrone and the savage Redcap.

Huntik: Secrets & Seekers: Episode 12: Like Father, Unlike Son

Original American air date: March 21, 2009

Grier takes a troop of Organization Suits and returns to his Aegean island home, Sutos, which is in the middle of a civil war. Dante, Lok and the others are following the Argos voyage by ship, when their ship runs aground and the team is forced to use their Titans to escape.​
 
Here are my thoughts on this ep:

1. I'm sure glad Lok was able to control his new dragon titan. It was also great that Zhalia was able to learn to use illusion.

2. Grier sure wasted no time in taking control of the island.:ack:

3. I loved how Lok's super-speed helped them get through those cliffs!:D

4. I thought the big battle with Lok & Sophie against Grier's minions was terrific, especially when Lok used his new titan!:D

5. I really loved Dante & Grier's battle, including when Dante sneak-attacked with Metagolem!:D

6. I'm glad Zhalia was able to escape that shark while retrieving the treasure!:sweat:

7. I thought Grier's flashback was very touching. At least, we now know why he joined the Organization: to return to his home island and end it's civil war peacefully. I liked how Dante & Grier did just that.:D

A pretty good ep! 4 stars.:D
 
You know, this episode would have been a lot better if they explained more about Grier's past. I think I learned more about his father from the official episode description than from the episode itself.

Yeah, we saw his father die on screen, but we never really learned the cause of death. And the episode doesn't really explain whether Grier will stay on Sutos or if he'll continue to be a part of the main cast. The Grier vs. Dante fight was cool and overall, the premise of the episode was pretty good, but it could have been executed a lot better.
 
I totally agree with you. It was nice to see Lok try to control his new Titan and the fight between Dante and Grier was awesome, but I was confused at the ending. I was wondering why his father just suddenly died on screen, without any real buildup to it, and the ending made me wonder if Grier was actually still part of the Organization or not since he was technically the new ruler of his homeland. This episode had an interesting idea in mind, but I think that they had issues with working it out, especially near the ending.
 
The editor in me was irked the last two episodes by the on-screen 'computer' graphic that had the Foundation boat in : "Agean, Sea".

Guess someone missed punctuation class.
