Hisoka is the extremely powerful and dangerous protagonist. He is portrayed as entirely self-serving, cocky, self-absorbed, and hedonistic; he does whatever he likes as long as it pleases him in some way.

He meets Gon during the hunter exam and upon seeing his potential for incredible strength, Hisoka makes it his goal to battle him once Gon becomes stronger and more “worthy to fight”.
