A/N: This here is my first Fanfiction. I'll be honest, this story was inspired from the only other story I found I this website that's about Raven and Qrow having another sibling so I won't take credit for the idea of a third sibling. In that story the third sibling was born at the same time as them. So I decided to make this one with the third sibling actually being seven years older than them. Honestly I'm mostly going to be making up my stories as I go. It works for me to be honest. I have nothing left to say so let's get on with it!

Prologue
Raven Branwen was pissed.
Not only did she learn that her brother had turned his back on the tribe, their leader refused to go after him!
She sat in her tent seething in rage. "Why? Why did he leave?! Why would he turn his back on us?!" She said to herself.
She believed that Qrow was a traitor for leaving needed to answer for turning his back on the tribe so she was understandably livid when their leader Robin said they weren't going after him.
She then started taking calming breathes. She reminded herself that she was going to be the next leader of the tribe so she needed to stay calm. She remembered what Robin said about going after traitors.
'It's not worth going after traitors if it put's our family at risk.' Robin's voice played in her head. She knew he was right. Combine Qrow's combat abilities and his semblance and the fact that he's stronger than most of the tribe, he would be tough to take down. It was not worth the risk.
But even still, she wanted answers. And she would get them the next time she and Qrow met.
Scene change – Somewhere …
A lone figure was approaching what appeared to be an abandoned compound. The figure was a male. Standing at 6 ft. in height, he wore black pants and a dark blue hoodie. The hoodie was long sleeved on the left and had no sleeve on the right. He wore dark blue fingerless gloves on his hands. The skin revealed was pale in complexion. Tattooed on his upper right arm was his symbol. A dark crimson red wolf that appeared to be howling. He had some sort of black 'baton' on his back. His face was covered by his hood. And he only had one reason for being here.
He had a job to do here.
Eliminate the slave traders who were using this compound as their hideout.
Scene Change – Raven's Tent
"Raven." A male voice outside the tent said.
Raven turned towards the entrance of the tent to see Robin, the tribe leader, walk in.
"Robin." She greeted.
Robin took a seat next to her.
"You still thinking about Qrow? About him leaving?" He asked concerned.
Raven sighed. "I've calmed down if that's what you're asking. I know that Qrow is strong and you said it yourself, it's not worth going after traitors if it puts our family at risk." She said.
Robin nodded while turning away. "Going after him does put the tribe at risk that's true." He said before turning to Raven. "But there's more to it than that."
Scene Change – Compound
The figure approached the front gates one menacing step at a time.
The guards soon noticed him and approached, their weapons drawn intent on making him leave.
"Hey, you." One guard said. "You have no reason to be here." They pointed their weapons at him. "So leave."
The figure smirked. "Oh but I do have a reason to be here." He said in a deep voice.
"I'm warning you, back off!" The guard said putting his finger around the trigger.
The figure stood his ground and the guard fired. But the bullet bounced of some kind of barrier that formed around the figure.
Tense the second guard asked him. "What are you here for anyway?"
The figure said nothing at first. He then pulled the black baton from his back. It extended to form a staff but it wasn't done. Large blades formed on both ends of the staff.
"Your blood." Was his answer.
Scene Change – Raven's Tent
"What do you mean there's more to it?" Raven asked clearly confused by what Robin was telling her.
"I'm saying even if Qrow was weak, going after him would still put the tribe at risk." Robin said.
All that did was confuse Raven even more. "But why? What threat would he be if he was weak?" She asked.
"It's not him who's the threat." Robin elaborated. "How do you think you two ended up in the tribe in the first place?"
Raven raised an eyebrow. "I thought you said you found us as infants alone in the woods."
"That was what I said yes but that wasn't the entire truth." Robin revealed. "We did find you in the woods as infants but you weren't alone." He continued when she remained silent. "You're older brother was carrying you two."
Scene Change – Compound
The figure was walking through the compound in search of his targets, cutting down every guard he encountered.
Some tried to fight but they didn't last long. Some tried to run but were shot down by a laser shot that came from the tip of the figure's weapon.
He opened the door to the abandoned warehouse on the other side of the compound to find the slave traders cowering in fear.
He had found his targets.
Scene Change – Raven's Tent
Raven's eyes widened at the revelation. "Older … brother?" She said slowly.
Robin nodded. "That's right. You have an older brother."
Her eyes narrowed at her leader. "Why weren't Qrow and I told about him until now?"
"I wanted to wait until the right time to tell you two." Robin said. "I already had a feeling that Qrow was going leave so I told him everything I'm about to tell you. I felt that you have the right to know now too since I told him."
Raven had a look of thought before getting comfortable. "I'm listening."
Robin smiled then continued. "He was actually looking for us when we found you three." He said. "He was hoping that we would be able to raise you two."
Scene Change – Compound
The figure had cut down most of the slave traders before turning to their leader.
"P-please … don't kill me! I-I can give you money if that's what you're after! O-or I ca-" He was cut off when he lost his head. Literally.
"Your promises are empty to me." The figure said while the leader's head rolled on the floor. He then took the keys off the body and went to go free the slaves.
Scene Change – Raven's Tent
Raven raised an eyebrow. "He didn't join the tribe himself?"
"I offered him a place in the tribe but he refused." Robin said. "I didn't believe that he was strong enough to survive without training from us so I challenged him to duel. If I won he would join the tribe. If he won then we would leave him alone."
Raven was silent for a few seconds. "… You lost didn't you."
"Miserably. Not only did he not use his semblance, I didn't land a single hit on him. And he was only seven at that time." Robin said.
"He had his semblance unlocked at seven!?" Raven exclaimed in shock.
"Actually he unlocked it when he was four. He told me." Robin said when Raven was about to ask. "He was a prodigy Raven. Before he went out on his own we were attacked by three Deathstalkers. He killed all three of them by himself."
"… I think I'm getting an idea of why the tribe will be at risk if we do anything to Qrow now." Raven said as realization hit her.
"Yes. He was thoroughly descriptive of what he would do to the tribe should we bring harm upon either of you." Robin said shuddering at the description he was given back then.
"Did he tell you anything else?" Raven asked him.
Robin looked away. "No, if you want to learn more you'll have to ask him yourself if you're lucky enough to meet him."
"Do you at least know his name?" Raven asked wanting to know the name of her unknown sibling.
Robin said nothing as he turned to her. He stayed silent for a few minutes before speaking.
"His name is Hunter Branwen."
Scene Change – Compound
The figure watched as the bullhead carried the slaves towards Vale where they could live in peace.
He was about to set off again when he heard a voice behind him.
"Hunter?"
The now named Hunter turned to see Qrow Branwen. They stared at one another until Hunter took off his hood revealing his black short length hair and red eyes.
"Hello brother." He said as his eyes glowed.
