Profile[]

Early life[]

The tactician of the Black Eagles as well as the eldest son and heir of the Marquisate of Vestra, Hubert has been Edelgard's vassal since the age of six.

Academy Phase[]

Hubert becomes a student at Garreg Mach Monastery Officers Academy in Imperial Year 1180 and serves as Edelgard's retainer in the Black Eagles.

War Phase[]

If Edelgard is sided with after it is revealed that she was the Flame Emperor, in Imperial Year 1185, Hubert assists Edelgard in forming the Black Eagle Strike Force at Garreg Mach. He serves as an adviser to both Edelgard and Byleth, using his tactical prowess to help guide them through battles.

Starting their campaign against the Church, Hubert reveals to Byleth and the others that Edelgard has begun purging corrupt nobles in their absence, which also included his father. During the first attack on Garreg Mach, he warns Byleth to dodge an incoming attack from The Immaculate One, but Byleth is hit and is sent into a five-year coma. Hubert, along with the rest of his classmates, continue the war against the Church for the next five years, not losing anyone in the process. He and the rest of his classmates are happy to see Byleth again during their reunion.

In order to stabilize the three-way war, Hubert suggests they deal with the Alliance first, and the fastest way to reach the capital of Derdriu is to use the Great Bridge of Myrddin. As expected, Alliance forces are guarding the bridge, led by Judith. Hubert advises they deal with her quickly before enemy reinforcements arrive.

Following the capture of the bridge, Hubert is pleased to see his classmates' morale has boosted due to Byleth's reemergence, though Edelgard reminds him that his too has also gone up due to their professor returning. As Edelgard and Byleth are discussing about Claude, Hubert comes in and informs the two that he is planning something, as the citizens of Derdriu cannot come and go as they please, warning Byleth not to underestimate him. He also stresses the importance of capturing Derdriu, as several Alliance leaders loathe Claude, and if they defeat him, they would be "tripping over themselves" joining the Empire.

Claude is defeated during the siege; regardless of the outcome, the Alliance surrenders to the Empire. Hubert arranges the transition by having Count Bergliez handle the Alliance's affairs, and the Black Eagles return to the monastery following their victory.

As they return to the monastery, Hubert informs Edelgard that her uncle is collecting relics from the Old Alliance, though she allows him to do as he pleases. Hubert also informs Edelgard that not all of the Kingdom stands by the Church, and defeating the Kingdom's most notable Houses would cause the others to fall in line; primarily House Fraldarius, Galatea, Gautier and Charon, and that they have allies inside they could help them.

In Hubert's Paralogue, Lord Volkhard informs Hubert that his subordinates were experimenting and caused some Demonic Beasts to break free, and requests for him to save his men and put the beasts out of their misery. Hubert and his classmates arrive and save as many of the mages as possible. Though they are ungrateful, they give the Strike Force the Arrow of Indra as a reward. Volkhard thanks Hubert for saving his men, though Hubert believed Those Who Slither in the Dark wanted to show them that they were helpless, but their psychological attempt backfired.

The Church later attempts to recapture Garreg Mach, and Hubert accompanies the rest of his classmates to protect the monastery. He notes that the layout of the Knights is unusual, warning the Professor to watch out for any traps and reinforcements. Following their victory over the Church, Hubert witnesses Randolph's death and gives Edelgard a status report of the battle, commenting on Alois' (if he wasn't recruited) and Seteth's deaths (if Byleth did not land the finishing blow) in the process.

Edelgard moved her forces to capture Arianrhod, where Hubert witnesses Cornelia send her Titanus out to battle; he is impressed by her magical weapons, but regardless, Arianrhod is captured and Cornelia is slain. After Volkhard cryptically states that he hoped the Empire would not be another Arianrhod, Hubert comes in and informs Edelgard that the city was annihilated by javelins of light, causing the death of most of House Rowe's leaders and numerous Imperial forces. He wonders if they had acted too rashly in killing Cornelia, but Edelgard assures him otherwise as they forced Those Who Slither in the Dark to reveal their secret weapon. Edelgard orders him to keep the full report under wraps, which he immediately complies with by telling the others that the Church was responsible for destroying Arianrhod.

Prior to the battle at the Tailtean Plains, Dimitri moves his forces to intercept the Empire, knowing the Knights of Seiros would arrive. Hubert, knowing Dimitri would never battle like this, had anticipated this move and ordered the army to watch out for attacks from the rear and sides. Hubert also witnessed a Kingdom soldier transform into a Demonic Beast, initially believing it to be Thales' work, but quickly realized it was much simpler. He advises Byleth to quickly take out the enemy soldiers before they can transform.

As the Empire arrives in Fhirdiad, Edelgard orders the Church to surrender, but is given no response. Hubert believes they would not surrender and asks her to begin the attack. Upon hearing the roars of the Immaculate One, Edelgard begins the attack on the city, which was lit on fire by the remaining Knights of Seiros. Hubert warns Byleth and the others to avoid the fires and that to minimize losses they would have to be flexible on their approach.

Rhea is killed in the ensuing battle, finally bringing peace to Fódlan, where Hubert would serve Edelgard as the Minister of the Imperial Household. He would help gather intelligence and assist Edelgard in her silent war against Those Who Slither in the Dark. If he was defeated on Classic Mode in the Academy Phase, he will succumb to his wounds not long after the wars end.

Hubert is among the forces joining Edelgard during the three-way battle at Gronder Field. Though he proves problematic for the Kingdom Army, he is ultimately overwhelmed and forced to retreat.

Hubert mainly takes a passive role, supporting Edelgard as her advisor. He does make a few appearances as the boss of some paralogues such as Petra's and Dimitri's, but is ultimately forced to retreat for both.

After Dimitri and the Kingdom forces capture Fort Merceus, Hubert receives a message from the Kingdom, requesting for Edelgard to parley with Dimitri. Surprisingly, Edelgard accepts on a whim and meets with Dimitri and Byleth with Hubert in tow. Ultimately, the two are unable to reconcile their differences and war between the two will come to a head in the Empire.

Hubert makes a final stand in Enbarr, leading the Empire's forces to defend the city. Despite a tremendous and grueling defense, Hubert is killed and with his dying breaths, hopes that Edelgard will win. His fall leads to the capture of Enbarr, allowing Dimitri and his forces to finally face Edelgard within the Empire's castle.

Personality[]

Immediately, most who meet Hubert notes of his menacing gaze and his rather sinister way of talking. He makes no illusions of where his allegiances lie and frequently makes unsettling comments clearly painted by intimidating verbiage. He is consummately villainous at times, even Edelgard finds that word to be most fitting for him, and seems to relish whenever ones notes this to him. He keeps his social circle to an extremely tight degree, so much so that he notably has no supports with any student outside of the Black Eagles in Three Houses. However, his grave demeanor and ominous eloquence belie his intentions.

Hubert has been a stalwart servant to Edelgard since childhood and maintains undying loyalty to her. He takes House Vestra's vassalage to House Hresvelg with immense pride, and acts based on his interpretation on who will benefit Edelgard and the Empire at heart. Hubert's willingness to carry out gruesome orders and use underhanded methods puts him at odds with Ferdinand: where Hubert will quietly subvert orders he disagrees with, Ferdinand believes a good advisor is one who openly confronts and challenges others to be better. Despite this, the two respect each other for their respective roles to serve Edelgard. While he ultimately respects Edelgard decisions, he still works behind the scenes for her tirelessly, providing both a shrewd consultant and taking means to see her vision of the future come to fruition. As a result, he does consider many notable individuals as a potential threat to her, keeping them in check for her through his discerning eye such as Shamir. He is immediately distrusting of Byleth and in their first support, states he would not hesitate to kill if they were deemed a threat to her. At times, he even commits actions against her wishes if he believes it will ultimately benefit her, yet he takes responsibility for situations by his hand that impacts her in these instances.

Due to his pride in House Vestra's duty to serve House Hresvelg, Hubert greatly loathes his father, as shown in his supports with Hanneman. He greatly dislikes talking about him, calling him a traitor to House Vestra, staining their 1,100 years of loyalty to House Hresvelg. Marquis Vestra was also the reason why Edelgard was sent to Faerghus in her youth. Upon Edelgard's purging of corrupt nobles, which included Hubert's father, he showed no remorse in his death, stating that it was well deserved. Even when Hanneman points out that he was trying to protect him by obtaining more power, Hubert refuses to budge on his hatred of him. In contrast, Hubert admits to Lysithea in Three Hopes that he has a mother and siblings whose existence he keeps a close secret for their safety, to the extent that not even Edelgard knows about them.

While seen by most as heartless and cold-blooded, Edelgard has vouched for his honor, which is exemplified in his contempt for Those Who Slither in the Dark. He believes that the atrocities they commit lack any justifiable motives, and he makes it clear in Crimson Flower that they only work together out of necessity. When questioned by Byleth if he hates the goddess, Hubert states that while he would choose "hate" over "love" when describing his perception of the goddesss, he ultimately believes that she abandoned the people of Fódlan and thus it is left to humanity to correct this. He believes that Edelgard exemplifies humanity taking the power given to them to reshape the world for the better.

Hubert also attempts to get along with fellow members of his house, but expresses his support of them in strange ways, such as subjecting Bernadetta to his hardest, most terrifying laugh in an effort to help her overcome her fear of him. He views his classmates as valuable assets to the Empire and is sharply critical of them to foster improvement.

Recruitment[]

Hubert will automatically be recruited if Byleth chooses to teach the Black Eagles house in chapter 1. If Byleth chose to teach any other house, Hubert cannot be recruited whatsoever.

During chapter 11, if the player decides to side with Edelgard, Hubert will remain a playable unit as normal. However, if the player instead sides with the Church of Seiros, Hubert will permanently leave the party and will only be encountered as an enemy. Any items that Hubert is carrying beforehand will also be lost, so it will be best to return the items into the convoy before attempting this chapter.

Overall[]

Subjective: The following part of this article is based upon the editor's personal experiences and opinions, and therefore may not be applicable for all readers.

Hubert is the resident magic attacker of the Black Eagles house, possessing very high growths in Magic, Dexterity, Speed, and Resistance. He will shrug off magical attacks and obliterate most enemies he engages, but will buckle to one or two physical hits. Hubert is one of only four units who can learn Dark magic, setting him aside from Dorothea and most mages from other houses. Even among Dark users, his spell list is robust, with unique access to the incredibly useful spell Mire B and being the only unit outside of the DLC-exclusive Hapi to learn the equally useful Banshee Θ. These spells give him extended range and bonus effects to help tackle the toughest enemies. Hubert's personal skill, Officer Duty, makes his Gambits hit just as incredibly hard as his Dark magic does. The only mages who hit harder than Hubert are Lysithea and Constance, but Hubert is a bit sturdier than either of them.

Given his skill levels, Hubert will have easy access to the Soldier set (Soldier), the Fighter set (Fighter, Archer, Sniper), and the Monk set (Monk, Mage, Dark Mage, Warlock, Dark Bishop, Dark Knight). His skill strengths makes him well suited for the Monk path. His budding talent in Lances will help him promote to Dark Knight, although this will require extensive horsemanship training in the monastery. Like many other mages, Hubert is particularly fragile and needs to be well-protected from enemy physical units. Unlike most other mages, Hubert has a weakness in Faith and a pitiful White magic pool, so he is almost strictly relegated to combat magic, though that is what he does best. It is better to leave healing to the far more capable Linhardt and Dorothea. While Hubert also has an affinity for Bows, his below-par Strength means he won't be able to use them effectively, though it may be worthwhile to briefly class him as an Archer just to get Hit +20, as his low-Hit Dark spells can occasionally have accuracy issues, and perhaps worthwhile to get Sniper for the minimum 17 Strength. Hubert's proficiency in Bows also makes him a strong user of the Magic Bow; as a male magic user, Hubert does not have access to a class that doubles Dark Magic uses, so the Magic Bow makes an excellent backup weapon for him.

If, for some reason, Hubert's damage fails to impress, one could master Wyvern Rider (if one can get through his weaknesses in Axes and Flying) and Dark Knight to acquire Seal Defense and Seal Resistance respectively, and use them with his debuff-centric Dark spells to cripple an enemy. Hapi is arguably better at this than Hubert, but it is still a build worth considering. This will normally require New Game+ or unlimited auxiliary battles via Normal difficulty, however, due to his banes in Axes and Flying making it hard for him to get Wyvern Rider.

Overall, Hubert makes for a potent mage for either dealing damage or inflicting debuffs on the enemy. His unique niche as the only truly good Dark Bishop also has merit, but he should generally do well in any magical classes available to him.

Base Set[]

Hubert is a Red Infantry Mage who is decently strong with a respectable 39 neutral Atk and a passable 32 Spd. His only downside is his low overall bulk. While his magical sits on a workable 25 Res, his Def is pitifully low at 19. While he can prove useful, he is largely overshadowed by much more potent Red Mages such as Lysithea or Tharja. He can still serve as a strong second string mage if needed, but he does need a personal tome to give him a particular niche that puts him on par with two mentioned above.

Rauðrfox does help make him stronger and bulkier than he seems as he inflicts -4 to his opponent's four core stats when he initiates combat. This does turn him into a strong player turn character and this effect combos nicely on Blow related skills or flat stat increases.

Growing Thunder inflicts damage in an area around his target factoring solely the difference between his Atk and the enemies Res and can deal decent chip damage as a result. Chill Resistance inflicts -7 to the Res of the enemy with the highest amount, helping him to damage particularly magically bulky enemies. Infantry Hexblade is a unique Skill C which assists physical allies by allowing their damage to be calculated between their Atk and the enemies lowest defensive stat, meaning adaptive damage. The skill is gimmicky, but it can help them with enemies by turning them into pseudo-dragons.

Counters[]

As mentioned above, Hubert's bulk is low and most physical units, even some Greens, can take him out in a single blow. Blues carrying Distant Counter like Fjorm, Brave Hector, and Fallen Hardin can easily take a hit and retaliate through color advantage. Blue Mages also easily dispatch him, even middling tier mages like Tailtiu.

Skill Inheritance[]

Regardless of his tome, Hubert should run Draw Back or Reposition for an ally positioning assist skill. Glimmer is his best Special since as a mage, he thrives when buffed, especially with a standard blade set. Skill A is also fairly standard regardless of sets as Fury, Life and Death, or Swift Sparrow helps him tremendously, the latter is strong for maximum Blade tome damage or comboing on the Fox tome. Skill C can be filled with a host of skills like Hones, Smoke, and Wave skills, though the latter, especially either Odd/Even Attack Wave work best.

If running with a typical Blade tome set, he needs Rauðrblade and Desperation while his Fox set keeps his tome and his skill B the same.

Meet Some of the Heroes[]

Sinister Servant Hubert
Hubert is the heir to Marquis Vestra, the Minister of the Imperial Household of the Adrestian Empire. For those not familiar with Adrestian politics: he's kind of a big deal.
Like Edelgard, Hubert studies at the Officers Academy of Garreg Mach Monastery. He's an outstanding student known for his keen intellect—you might say he's clinical and calculating.
That isn't to say he's indifferent, though! In fact, Hubert has sworn his absolute loyalty to Edelgard, and he believes from the bottom of his heart that she alone can lead the Empire into the future.
He doesn't mind that some people might think him cold—as far as he's concerned, he lives only to serve Edelgard. I wonder where his devotion will take him?

Hubert, a member of the Black Eagle House at the Officers Academy, has come from the continent of Fódlan to join us for the Day of Devotion!
Here's his outfit: black formal wear, with embellishments in gold thread. I love his hat with the golden feather as decoration!
He's also carrying a bottle on a sumptuously decorated serving tray—which, in addition to serving drinks, can also be used as a weapon to serve his foes a magical comeuppance!
Despite it being the Day of Devotion, Hubert's stoic expression may seem like it was hewn from stone—but he's a little more tender on the inside. He says he's deeply grateful to have had the privilege of meeting Edelgard, his liege!

Possible Endings[]

"Just a minute! The following section contains spoilers. Viewing it will cost a lot. Are you prepared to pay for it?"
Hubert (if defeated before the time-skip on Classic Mode)
Died of his wounds after the war.
Hubert - Emperor's Confidant
Hubert devoted his life fully to the service of Edelgard. Operating in the light and the shadows alike, he disposed of countless burdens facing his emperor, using any means necessary. Though his ghastly appearance and imposing demeanor were ever feared, he paid his reputation little heed, focusing instead on his loyalty to the emperor.
Hubert and Byleth
After a fierce battle, Byleth and Edelgard finally brought the tyranny of a godlike being to an end. Though wounded in the conflict and stripped of divine power, Byleth continued to fight alongside the emperor to bring true peace. Hubert joined them in this fight, fulfilling his promise to confront those who slither in the dark head-on. In that darkness, Byleth and Hubert formed an unbreakable bond. It is said that, as a married couple, they were totally inseparable.
Hubert and Edelgard
As the new Adrestian emperor, Edelgard gave all she had to breathe new life into the government of Fódlan. With tireless work, great sacrifice, and her devoted servant Hubert by her side, she instituted new class reforms and helped to ensure the people's independence. Hubert was always close at hand, ready to dispose of unsavory burdens by any means necessary. In their later years, they passed the fruits of her labor on to Edelgard's successor and vanished from the public eye. Though it is said they spent the rest of their lives together, it is unlikely they ever gave voice to the true depth of their affections.
Hubert and Ferdinand
Hubert and Ferdinand became the left and right hands of Emperor Edelgard, competing constantly with each other to see who could be the more helpful. They were opposites - The Minister of the Imperial Household, melancholy and merciless, and the prime minister, bright and compassionate. Still, they brought out the best in each other. As the empire became orderly and prosperous, the two came to be known as the nation's "Two Jewels," and were remembered fondly for generations to come. Some say their fame made even Emperor Edelgard jealous.
Hubert and Bernadetta
The marriage between Hubert, Minister of the Imperial Household, and Bernadetta, leader of House Varley, was so surprising to the public that it was much talked about even outside of political circles in the capital. Bernadetta took the opportunity to survey the far reaches of the new Adrestian Empire, and in her absence, Hubert took well to the management of Varley territory. They proved to be an astonishingly good match, working together to protect Fódlan from the shadows. It is said that they showed their affection for one another by wearing matching embroidered flowers.
Hubert and Dorothea
After the war, the Mittlefrank Opera Company made a resurgence, in no small part thanks to the patronage of Emperor Edelgard's confidant, Hubert. Dorothea made a comeback as a songstress in the troupe, which traveled all over Fódlan, putting a large share of its profits towards relief efforts. The opera company was warmly welcomed by the war-weary people as a source of solace, and became even more famous than before. It was not discovered until many years later that the troupe's tour had been a covert operation, coordinated by Hubert and Dorothea, to gather intelligence for the Empire.
Hubert and Petra
Shortly after the war, Brigid renegotiated its diplomatic arrangement with the Adrestian Empire, ending its service as a vassal and becoming a full ally. As part of that agreement, Petra, queen of Brigid, was wed to Hubert, Marquis Vestra. Some say that the marriage was purely political, ordered by Emperor Edelgard, while others insist that it was of their own accord. Although they led busy lives, and sometimes lived separately. Still, their shared home in the western Fódlan village of Nuvelle was filled with their many children, suggesting a loving union.
Hubert and Shamir
As confidant of Edelgard, Hubert disposed of every burden facing his emperor by any means necessary, and excelled at working in the shadows. Supporting him from the frontlines was the former mercenary, Shamir, who commanded the emperor's elite troops. When the two married, they appeared from the outside to be little more than a lord of the empire and his dutiful wife. In reality, their nights were filled with fierce combat against rebels, assassins, and those who slither in the dark. It is reported that one of them was known to often state that, "To find love between life and death is a gift." It is unknown which of the two actually spoke these words.
"End of spoilers. It's a pleasure doing business with you!"
