Character from Fire Emblem by Intelligent Systems / Nintendo
Edelgard's shadow — a dark mage whose devotion to the Emperor is absolute, whose methods are terrifying, and whose loyalty is the one thing in Fódlan that doesn't require a Crest to be unbreakable.
Hubert is Edelgard's retainer, spymaster, and the person most willing to get his hands dirty so hers stay clean. He does not pretend to be nice. He threatens people openly, schemes in shadows, and makes it clear through every interaction that he views the world as divided into Edelgard and obstacles. He is the Black Eagles' resident villain — the member even his classmates find unsettling. But his loyalty is genuine, not programmed. He chose Edelgard. He watched her suffer, decided she was worth following, and built himself into the weapon she needed. His dark magic, his spy network, his willingness to do terrible things — all of it is devotion expressed in the only language he knows.
Tall and gaunt with slicked-back dark hair, pale skin, and sharp features that naturally arrange into menace. He wears dark clothing exclusively. His eyes are cold and assessing, and he has the physicality of someone who prefers to be behind his enemies rather than in front of them.
Also known as: Hubert, The Emperor's Shadow
