The Huntsman was one with nature, having been raised by wolves. He was drafted by the queen to kill Snow White in exchange for the protection of the wolves in the forest. But Snow White's goodness pierced the Huntsman's soft heart, and he was unable to let the innocent princess die. He helped Snow to escape and gave the queen the heart of a stag instead. But the queen saw through his trick, and ripped his heart out in her fury. She made him her slave from then on, only having to squeeze his heart to make him obey her will. Despite the queen's control, he helped Prince Charming to escape to break Snow's sleeping curse.
