Hubb

Hubb (ハブ) is the new vice-commander of the Crimson Order following Glen's death. In actuality, however, he is a member of the Cult of Diablos send to spy on and take control of the order by manipulating the commander, Iris, against Shadow Garden.

Appearance
Hubb is a tall man with serpentine eyes and pale skin, giving him a frightening impression, and wears a Crimson Order uniform after joining their ranks.

Personality
Hubb had the skill of appearing extremely trustworthy, obedient and loyal, being entrusted by Iris Midgar herself as a replacement for Glen who died during the Academy terrorist attack. In actuality, however, Hubb feigned his loyalties to Princess Iris to manipulate her discreetly and control the Crimson Order for the Cult's benefit.

Background
Hubb is a member of the Cult of Diablos who infiltrated into the Crimson Order after Princess Iris Midgar's defeat by Shadow during Bushin Festival, to take advantage of her to become the Cult's puppet.

He then misdirects Princess Iris that the Cult of Diablos does not exist, fabricating false evidence to incriminate Shadow Garden for all past evils in the world and the related consequences, which were all actually caused by the Cult. Afterwards, Hubb succeeded in manipulating Princess Iris into following his will, turning the Crimson Order into a Cult puppet with public authority.

Powers & Abilities
Hubb possessed some physical strength and magical power on par with the "Second Children" of the Cult of Diablos. However, his true power lies in his acting ability, able to earn others' trust and manipulate them to suit his own ends.

Iris Midgar
Using the facáde of a reliably loyal knight, Hubb was able to gain enough of Iris' trust to where she made him the new vice-commander of the Crimson Order following Glen's death. He also manipulates the princess into believing that the Cult of Diablos was merely a fabrication by Shadow Garden to justify their crimes, incriminating them for all past evils by the cult.

Marco Granger
Hubb is Marco's superior as the new vice-commander, and holds no positive connection with him like how Glen did.

Trivia
