The Adrestian Empire's Minister of the Imperial Household and legitimate son of Marquis Vestra. Has sworn complete fealty to Edelgard. Appears in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Name: Hubert von Vestra Gender: Male Race: Human Birthday: April 17 Age: 20 (Pre timeskip) 25-26 (Post-timeskip) Height: 188cm Relatives: Marquis Vestra (Father), unnamed mother, unnamed younger brother, unnamed younger sister Occupation: Student at the Officers Academy (Black Eagles house), Retainer of Edelgard Weapon: Tomes </Personal Information> Hubert is a tall young man with pale skin, lime green eye, and black hair with bangs covering his right eye. His attire consists of a black jacket with golden patterns, black baggy pants, black boots and white gloves.

After the timeskip, his hair is slightly shorter and wears a military attires that consists of a black jacket with gray parts, black baggy pants, a black cape with a red underside and black long boots. 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.
