Hugo Vasquez

Hugo Vasquez was born on the planet, Demophon. He is a smug, power-hungry man who is often hated by many members of Hyperion. Hugo carried a fondness for Handsome Jack, saying that he would let him punch him in the face every day.

Hugo first appears when Rhys goes to Henderson's office to get the promotion he expected. Hugo reveals he killed Henderson and now took over Henderson's role in Hyperion. Rhys learns that he is buying a Vault Key from a guy named August. While Hugo talks to him, Rhys finds out the meeting of the purchase using his echo eye. He leaves after he is "promoted" to Assistant Vice Janitor. Little does Hugo know that he ends up going to Pandora with his company car. He later finds out, apparently yelling about Rhys and Vaughn in Pandora.

Hugo is sent from Hyperion with a moonshot and drives using his car towards Rhys and Vaughn. The car stops in front of the two and Hugo comes out of the car with a prototype of "the most advanced gun Hyperion has ever made", threatening that he'll shoot them if they do not obey to his orders. Hugo goes back to search his vehicle and tosses a shovel to each, forcing them to start digging their own graves. Hugo explains that he will bury Vaughn himself but he will kill Rhys and bring his body back to Hyperion for experimentation because of something in his head. After the two find a chance to escape from him, Hugo gets in his car and chases them, but fails to catch up as a Loader Bot interrupts and saves Rhys and Vaughn.
