 * Yu-Gi-Oh! (Duel Monsters)

The Rare Hunter named Seeker in the English version of ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Dungeon Dice Monsters'' and unnamed in anime and manga, was a member of Marik's Rare Hunters organization.

Character biography
He and other minions ambushed Joey Wheeler and forced him into duel. When Joey was defeated, they took his "Red-Eyes B. Dragon"--by force.

Yami Yugi and Joey met him while in the Battle City Tournament. Joey challenged him to recover his monster, but the Rare Hunter refused and decided to duel Yugi instead for his "Dark Magician". Joey tried to warn Yami of the Rare Hunter's deck, but he exclaimed that he would tear up the Red-Eyes if Joey told. Yami discovered it out on his own later, and used cards that would prevent Rare Hunter from holding all "Exodia" pieces in hand, and finally destroyed Exodia (using "Chain Destruction") and won the duel. Yugi also discovered that Rare Hunter was using fake cards, and he destroyed them (in the dub, the cards were real, but marked).

Marik stated that this Rare Hunter was the weakest of his minions when he speaks to Yugi after banishing the Rare Hunter's mind to the Shadow Realm.

Deck
Seeker uses an Exodia Deck, which includes 3 copies of each piece of Exodia and various high defense monsters, such as "Stone Statue of the Aztecs" and "Gear Golem the Moving Fortress". Though he is able to defeat Joey once with this deck, having more than one copy of Exodia in his hand (and nothing else) leaves the Rare Hunter defenseless in his duel with Yugi and attemtping to use one of the pieces to defend himself leads to his defeat.
