Maverick Hunters
The Maverick Hunters, known in Japan as Irregular Hunters (イレギュラーハンター), are a global law enforcement organization dedicated to protecting humans and Reploids from dangerous Maverick activity. The central protagonists of the X era, including X, Zero, and Axl, are all Maverick Hunters.
Structure
Leadership
The Maverick Hunters are led by a high-ranked division of individuals known as the Upper Echelon (上層部).[1] Few of the Upper Echelon's members have ever been revealed, save the military General (総監)[2] to whom all Units of the Maverick Hunters answer.
Dr. Cain is the founder and Advisor (アドバイザー)[1] of the organization, presumably acting as a consultant but not holding an official post in the Maverick Hunters. He operated in this capacity at least up until Mega Man X3.
