Mictlan are the best blood hunters in the world bar none and they can be recruited in every fortress. 80 gold for a sacred blood hunter? Nobody else even gets close.

Saying they're the best is one (true) thing, saying noone else comes close is an exageration. Diabolists are just as good bloodhunters for the same price and only marginally higher upkeep (+2.67 gold/turn). If this isn't close, what is 'close' to you? And Blood of Humans bloodhunters are very similar albeit 20% more expensive - but I think it's a fair price to pay for their fire immunity, when it's so easy to wipe an entire bloodhunting squad out with Fires from Afar. Countering this liability with resistance items or buffer troops and/or leaders is still possible - but at a cost you'll have to factor in the equation.
