Hunter Scott is the son of Lianne Mars and Tanner Scott. He is also the half-brother of Veronica Mars and Aurora Scott. At first, he seemed shy, but quickly warms up to Veronica, playing with her when she visited the second time. He seems to inherit some of Veronica's intelligence as he was able to deduce that his mother might be sent to prison from bits of a conversation he had heard his mother was having. Veronica promised him that, no matter what happened to their mother, she'd be there for him.
