A member of the Royal Mages division. As a child Hugh was an orphan and struggled to survive, at the age of 15 he discovered he was arcane-sensitive, and one of the Royal Mages discovered it as well. The Royal Mage asked him if he wanted to come with him to learn how to harness the gift he was born with, though he was unsure. Surprisingly to him, the Royal Mage told him he understood and that it's not really a choice a child should have to make, but if he changed his mind to just come to him and he'd now where he was if so. He thought about this for a while, and later that night he left his makeshift home and started wandering the streets, and after a while he finally found him and asked the Royal Mage if he was still offering. The Royal Mage allowed him in and personally trained him, and while he struggled quite a bit, he always did his best. At 19 he's now an aspiring Mage wanting to improve his abilities to help and protect those in need because he knows how it feels to be alone and have nothing. Hugh has an average level of control of his abilities, and despite wanting to get stronger to help more people better, he remains patient which is what a Royal Mage should be and does his best to hone his abilities. After Queen Cosima left to create a squad with some people she knew, he came to her and asked her if he could join too and explained that maybe some field experience could help him improve more effectively. She agreed and he was appreciative, and so now he's part of the squad and usually uses defensive magic, unlike Queen Cosima who usually uses offensive magic.


(A Royal Mage's job is to enchant armor and weaponry for king Hadrian's army, and even sometimes tools for citizens. In battle, they cast spells to support or protect troops, and usually deal with crowd control. Royal Mages draw power from Lapis Lazuli, which is an ore with magical properties, and some beings are sensitive to them which allows them to channel the power within).
