The InGen Hunters were a team of animal wranglers that were hired by Peter Ludlow. Ludlow persuaded InGen's Board that a dinosaur theme park was still a profitable idea, and made plans to retrieve Isla Sorna's prehistoric inhabitants, relocating them to an arena in San Diego.
The team was led by hunter Roland Tembo and his aide/partner Ajay Sidhu, and the mercenaries were led by Dieter Stark. The team's consultant was paleontologist Robert Burke. Many hunters in the group were recently amnestied proachers, like Dieter Stark who was one of the most sadistic and vulgar of the group. However, there was the case of the division leader Roland Tembo, who was a traditionalist hunter who strictly followed the game laws.
The hunters arrive with custom vehicles, weapons, and equipment, carried by Chinook and Huey helicopters. Weapons included Danish-made, CO2 powered Dan Inject Model JM tranquilizer guns, LAR Grizzly Big Boar guns modified for grappling hooks and tranquilizer darts for dinosaur containment. They also carried HK91 and AKMS assault rifles, SPAS-12 shotguns, as well as other hunting rifles such as, but not limited to, Winchester Model 70s and Searcy Double Barrel Rifles (Notably carried by Roland Tembo).
According to Trespasser, only a third of the hunters appeared at the rendezvous after they were scattered by the T. rex family. In an unused quote from the game, Anne says "Oh God, something like thirty people died here. Professional hunter types, mercenaries..."
The Hunters Base was the InGen Harvester Encampment.
Although their plan was sabotaged by the Gatherers, Roland captured a male T. rex and his infant. The animals were taken to San Diego by Ludlow (the adult transported on the Venture, and the infant on Ludlow's Jet directly into the medical facility of the amphittheatre) to be shown in the planned Jurassic Park: San Diego, but the crew of the cargo ship the male dinosaur was in, were eventually killed. Since the crew was all dead, and no one was piloting the ship, the Venture barrelled headlong towards the InGen Waterfront Complex, thus releasing the dinosaur and causing the San Diego Incident.
