Hugh is a Highlander who was born in Markev, capital of Haense. Despite being raised by Highlanders, Hugh’s faith stuck with the Canonist Church at a very young age. Fascinated by tales of the Crusades led by Daniel the Second, Hugh wished that he could fight to carry out such a noble goal as that in his own lifetime. So, he became obsessed with it. Throughout his childhood he was ridiculed for holding onto history so much, but he held true to his belief. Once he became an adult, his family (relatively poor Highlanders who were once noble warriors in the distant past) disowned him due to the attention he was attracting. From there Hugh became an a active participant in the Church of Canon and eventually forged armor designed around the crusades of Daniel the Second. This was his most expensive possession and as such he has worn it to this day. He holds distaste towards elves, as he feels that elves should have been completely eradicated after the Third Atlas Coalition War. Despite being of strong faith, Hugh often has violent outbursts towards elves while wandering around Markev at night (for he still lives there to this day, not daring to leave the boundaries of Hanse).
