He's not entirely sure, but he has a guess. "They often went after monsters and beasts of legend. Either protecting humans or just because Artemis is the kind of goddess that likes to hunt."
He gets a better idea of what answer Sora is after though, he wants to know why Thalia might have left everyone she knew for these Hunters. "I think each Hunter has their own reason. It's a pretty serious sacrifice after all. Thalia...she did it to avoid being part of a prophecy. I don't remember the exact prophecy, Thalia and Percy both told me about parts of it, but it had something to do with a demigod of the Big Three reaching 16 and making a choice that would either save or destroy Olympus. Thalia didn't want to have to make that choice and she was lucky enough to have a third option since she was a girl. She took the oath and never turned 16."
