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 08: Two Powers Become One

Original American air date: February 21, 2009

Inside the temple of Thor, the Huntik foundation finds the Titan Fenris. It's been active for thousands of years because of the magical properties of the temple and left to run wild . Now it's absolutely furious, and the group must find a way to capture it.​
 
Not a bad episode but by far it lacked compared to previous weeks installments. I am not liking the "thor" aspect of the show that much, but it isn't horrible, they got the hammer now though, that was kind of cool. The guild chasing them throughout the caves were kind of generic but we got to see some cool titans and thats is always a fun time. 6/10 for this weeks episode, maybe the weekest of the series so far.
 
I actually really liked this episode. I thought that it was cool seeing the flashback and seeing how Dante was a few years back. I also thought that the way that they captured that Titan wolf was awesome. I liked how they were able to use the hammer to get out of the Temple. I think that this is one of my favorite episodes of the series thus far. The action does feel like its improving a bit at least.
 
Here are my thoughts on this ep:

1. Wouldn't ya know that temple was owned by the Organization?!:ack: I thought the battle against the Guardians of Thor was awesome!:D

2. It was too bad they couldn't use their titans on that wolf titan, mainly because it would only absorb their powers.:sad:

3. I was very glad that Lok's Springer was able to untie that rope so they could use it on that wolf.:D

4. It sure was exciting when the others tried to keep those Guardians away while Lok & Sophie were figuring out how to open that door with the snake on it.:sweat:

5. I loved how Dante & Montague worked together to use Thor's Hammer to defeat that ice giant and open a way out for them all!:D

This ep really made up for last week! I give it 4 stars.:D
 
This wasn't one of my favorite episodes. The episode overall seemed bland and I really didn't start paying attention until they got to the room where Thor's hammer was located. The small competition between Dante and the other Huntik member whose name evades me right now. Overall, it wasn't that good but it had its moments.
 
There was no reason for the Temple of Thor to be under the control of the Organization. It was a pointless addition that was unneeded and added nothing to the story. Of course it did not take away anything ether.
 
Haha, Montehue is such a great character. I love how he fought with an ax in each hand. :sweat:

Overall, this two-parter was a pretty fun side story. It didn't add much to the main plot (except for introducing Montehue), but it was nice to have a new location and new villains. The show needed a break from Defoe and Grier.
 
I dunno. While I agree in terms of the immediate plot, I also feel that it does help establish just how large the Organization is. I also like the fact that we'll see different sides to the group depending on where the protagonists go--it's more realistic than simply having Defoe follow them everywhere.

Random thoughts:

Montehue is a big, beefy slab of awesomesauce. You can tell how much fun Dan Green is having playing the role, and I really like how they made him competitive without being antagonistic or a jerk, which is a balance not many shows manage to strike. I do hope he shows up again, and that he remains a good guy (the Holotome seems to be hinting otherwise, which annoys me).

Also, I really wish something were done about the holotome recaps. They're serviceable, but really, really dull.
 
Wow, looks as if there was a tad bit of a mixed bag for this episode, but people still seemed to like it overall. I can't wait until I own this series on DVD someday, that will be a sweet, sweet day.
