Graham Humbert

Graham Humbert, also known as the Huntsman, is a character on ABC's Once Upon a Time. He was formerly hired by Regina Mills to kill Snow White, but he refused, and as punishment he got his heart torn out. Under the curse, he became the sheriff of Storybrooke until his untimely death at the hands of Regina herself.

Season 1
Regina originally hired the mysterious Huntsman, who was raised by wolves and didn't hesitate in killing humans, to rip out the heart of Snow White. He pretended to be a knight accompanying Snow through a walk in the woods, but Snow is quick to realise that he is not a knight as he hadn't give her his condolences due to the recent death of Snow's father. Snow runs away, and the Huntsman gives chase. He eventually finds her writing a letter to Regina, and asks him to give it to her. He reads the letter, which brings him to tears, and he doesn't kill her. He returns to the castle with the heart of a stag but Regina realises it isn't a human heart and in turn rips out Graham's heart but enchants it so that he doesn't die unless Regina crushes the heart.

When the Dark Curse hits, Graham becomes the sheriff of Storybrooke. He eventually makes Emma Swan his deputy, much to Regina's disapproval. Emma eventually finds out that Graham and Regina are having an affair, and becomes confused and conflicted, especially when Graham drunkenly kisses her. However, when Graham kisses her, he sees glimpses of his life before the curse and repeatedly comes into contact with a wolf who has one red eye and one black eye. Henry tells Graham who he is, and Graham goes and searches for his heart. Emma goes with him, questioning Graham's supposed motives, and Regina eventually arrives and accuses Emma of ruining everything. Regina and Emma get into a brief fist-fight, and Graham leaves with Emma, telling Regina that what the two of them had never felt real before leaving Regina upset. Later that night, Graham helps with Emma's wounds at the police station, and the two of them eventually kiss again. This time, the kiss gives all of Graham's memories back, and he remembers who he is. He thanks Emma, but Regina goes into her vault and picks up his heart before crushing into dust. Back at the police station, Graham suddenly dies, leaving Emma distraught. He supposedly died of a heart attack, which was a cover-up of Regina's murder.
