A possible origin of the character was revealed in a flashback: His grandfather had been a soldier in Vlad Tepes's service (from whom he had learned the many ways of torture).
Finally, the man who'd come to be known as El Cazador de Aventuras became a wanted criminal in America during the times of the Spanish conquest.
One of the natives claimed he knew where a great mountain of precious metal was and promised to take them in exchange for his life.
Almost 500 years later, he lives in an abandoned church, uses the inverted cross as his symbol, and has become an unstoppable serial killer.
The episodes contained high levels of dark and gross humor, focused on parodying the socio-political environment in Argentina, as well as many elements and personalities of pop-culture, world history and mythology (zombies, the Quake videogame, Sailor Moon, Diego Maradona, former Argentine President Carlos Menem, Don King, Superman, Nippur de Lagash, Thor and Ragnarök, Mike Tyson, etc.)
This monstrosity has displayed regenerative skills as efficient as those of Cazador himself, coming back several times after being apparently killed for real.
As descendant of a deadly family of mercenaries, and due to the harsh lifestyle he had since childhood, Cazador has become a master in the use of all kinds of weaponry.
In the past, his weapon of choice was a huge automatic revolver, packed with great firepower, but prone to getting stuck in the middle of battle.
This contingency allowed him to survive against seemingly overwhelming odds on issue #29, when he was surrounded by the whole Mortal Kombat roster on the island of the ninja warlord Sinister Claw.
Besides his arch-enemy, the Demon Lord Melkor, Cazador has been brought down by the zombie Indian Cacique Patoruzú, his “brother”, Abominación Final, a group of anonymous ninja assassins, and the cyborg boxer Mike Tyson, in the rematch bout they had (although Tyson ultimately lost the fight because Cazador's friend and trainer, Argentine former boxer “Roña” Osvaldo, KO’ed him with a lead pipe).
