Sarah Hunt (née Novak) was the wife of Alastair, the mother of Callum Hunt, and the sister of Declan Novak.
History[]
During her time at the Magisterium, Sarah trained as an apprentice of Master Rufus, along with her brother Declan Novak, Alastair Hunt, Constantine Madden, and Jericho Madden. Both Sarah and Alastair were the best in their class and held the best marks in their year's Iron Trial. Alastair later commented that he, Sarah, Constantine, and Jericho were best friends. Having excelled at shaping ore summoned deep from the ground, in their last year at the academy, she made a dagger with the waters of the Butterfly Pool and named it Semiramis. Sarah later said, "If I have to die, I want to die holding my own weapon.", referring to Semiramis.
Unfortunately, Sarah was indeed murdered while holding Semiramis. When Master Rufus insisted that she and her son, Callum Hunt, be hidden with the other mages at La Rinconada in Peru, Alastair obliged and sent them there, with the others who were deemed better kept safe rather than involved in the Great Battle against the Enemy of Death and his army. Unfortunately, the Enemy became aware of their location and attacked them—the slaughter would later become known as the Cold Massacre. Though they put up a fight, Sarah was among the many casualties in the battle, as was her brother.
During the confrontation, Sarah sent magical knives into the Enemy of Death's chest using her advanced metal capabilities. After he died, Sarah realized that he transferred his soul onto the body of her own son, Call. She immediately dropped him on the cave's floor, breaking his leg but not killing him. As she died, she carved the words "KILL THE CHILD" with Semiramis into the wall next to her with her last bits of her strength.
When Alastair arrived, he promised her that he would raise their son knowing how brave she was and how she died protecting him. This changed, however, when Alastair took Semiramis from her hand and saw her message. Because of this, Alastair decided not to tell Call about the nature of her death, or much anything else about her, except that she died because of a war fought by mages.
During his Magisterium years, Callum noted that Alastair mourned Sarah's death, even though it was more than a decade since her passing.
Physical description[]
Sarah is said to have been pretty and had the same dark hair as her son, Call.
