Jared Hunter (ジャレッド・ハンター, Jareddo Hantā) is the second-in-command of U.R.D.A. and after the death of Derrick Lynch, took over that organization. To exact his revenge on the S.T.F., he gathered the remnants of U.R.D.A. and occupied Grassmarket Street and Belforte Hotel six months after Garland Square is recaptured by the S.T.F.. As an insurance policy, he kidnapped Melissa Kessler, the daughter of the S.T.F. commander and demanded the release of all U.R.D.A. soldiers imprisoned by the British authorities. After the S.T.F. secured Grassmarket Street and stormed in the hotel, he appears in a jetpack, armed with an assault rifle and is with two soldiers also in jetpacks. He tells the S.T.F. that he could not believe that they have made it that far but warns them that their luck has run out and that he is going the score once and for all. After a battle at the hotel, he is defeated and tricks the S.T.F. by jumping off the hotel. Of course, there is a military cruiser at the bottom receiving him and it speeds away, prompting Claude McGarren to pursue him via helicopter. After a battle off Crimson Beach (Crimson Sea in the U.K. version), the military cruiser explodes, killing Jared and with that, signaled the end of U.R.D.A..
