Creative Link To Exalted?
One of the later books, Fall From Grace, has a Visionary Hunter make allusions to the ancient past where the Powers that Be granted several people power to become great heroes and defend humanity. But now the Powers that Be are trying a different approach by creating less powerful heroes, but in larger numbers. In the Exalted game line there are similar heroes of the past mentioned; the Solar Exalted.
An easter egg-like section in the back of the Hunter: The Reckoning Core also contains an allusion to either the same Visionary Hunter mentioned above, or another unrelated one who disappeared under mysterious circumstances after studying an ancient scroll and "looking back further than any other Visionary has yet dared." An image of the scroll appears on the last page of the book, revealing glyphs that bear a striking resemblance to the iconography of the Exalted setting.
The Demon: The Fallen book Days of Fire also hinted at ties between Hunters and the world of Exalted, with possible allusions to The Ebony Dragon and the Red Lady, analogous to major powerful characters in the world of Exalted, as playing a role in the creation of newly-Imbued Hunters.
One of the Kindred of the East books also makes reference to an ancient legend amongst the Kue-Jin, of powerful heroes of old who were corrupted by their own power. This heavily hints at the Solar Exalted. The Kue Jin believe these ancient heroes have been reborn as the Imbued, stripped of their former power by the gods, so that they might learn humility.
In the book Time of Judgment for the World of Darkness chapter 3 reveals that the Hunters are reincarnations of the Solar Exalted. It also reveals that all the supernatural groups in the World of Darkness are reincarnations of different Exalted groups, and it hints that the major conflicts in the Exalted world were a result of someone looking into the future and seeing what the World of Darkness had become.

Famous quotes containing the words creative and/or link:
“But this I know; the writer who possesses the creative gift owns something of which he is not always master—something that at times strangely wills and works for itself.... If the result be attractive, the World will praise you, who little deserve praise; if it be repulsive, the same World will blame you, who almost as little deserve blame.”
—Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855)
“This sand seemed to us the connecting link between land and water. It was a kind of water on which you could walk, and you could see the ripple-marks on its surface, produced by the winds, precisely like those at the bottom of a brook or lake. We had read that Mussulmans are permitted by the Koran to perform their ablutions in sand when they cannot get water, a necessary indulgence in Arabia, and we now understand the propriety of this provision.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
