Hubert von Vestra (pronounced /⁠'hjubɝt vɑn 'vɛstɹə⁠/^[key]; Japanese:ヒューベルト＝フォン＝べストラHubert von Vestra) is a playable character appearing inFire Emblem: Three Houses. He is the tactician of theBlack Eagles house at the Officers Academy.

Biography

Hubert was born as the eldest son of Marquis Vestra, the head of House Vestra of theAdrestian Empire. He began servingEdelgard early in his youth and was taught to be faithfully loyal to her, which in due time made Hubert develop a strong sense of loyalty towards Edelgard. In theInsurrection of the Seven, Hubert's father allied withDuke Aegir and spearheaded the capture of EmperorIonius IX and his scions, forcingLord Arundel to take Edelgard and flee toFaerghus, which made Hubert develop hatred towards his father for betraying House Vestra's legacy. Hubert then escaped the empire and tried reaching Fhirdiad where Edelgard resided, but was captured three days later. When Edelgard and Arundel eventually came back, she and her siblings were isolated and experimented upon by "those who slither in the dark", preventing Hubert from helping her. Only Edelgard survived; she swore to destroy both those who slither in the dark and theChurch of Seiros, who she blamed for propagating the Crest-worship that led to the deaths of her loved ones. To this end, she took up the secret identity of theFlame Emperor and began orchestrating attacks on the Church, and Hubert was one of the only ones who knew the truth of her actions.

In 1180, Hubert and Edelgard enrolled in the Officers Academy at Garreg Mach Monastery and became members of theBlack Eagles house. Throughout 1180, he studies and fights alongside the Black Eagles, all while silently preparing Edelgard's ascension to the imperial throne, disposing of the corrupt imperial nobility, his father included, and concealing his knowledge of the Flame Emperor's true identity and their collaboration with "those who slither in the dark". When Edelgard declares war on theChurch of Seiros, he claims his father's title as Marquis Vestra and fights on the Empire's side, potentially abandoningByleth should they be teaching the Black Eagles and choose to side with the Church, and achieves victory. Afterwards, he and Edelgard return to Adrestia and spend the next five years battlingFaerghus andLeicester while researching "those who slither in the dark".

In non-Crimson Flower routes, Hubert fights in the Battle at Gronder on Adrestia's side, and in two optional missions inBrigid andArianrhod, but is forced to retreat in the end. On the Azure Moon route, Hubert communicates to Edelgard the death of her uncle once he is killed in Derdriu, and warns her of the negative consequences transforming into aHegemon Husk may have for her health and future. Hubert later defends Enbarr alongside the Adrestian army before ultimately meeting his demise. On the Silver Snow and Verdant Wind routes, once Edelgard is slain, it is revealed Hubert left a letter revealing the location of Shambhala, the headquarters of "those who slither in the dark" so the victorious army can wipe them out on his and Edelgard's behalf should both be slain in the previous struggle, as they had planned to deal with them once Adrestia had conquered all ofFódlan.

In the Crimson Flower route, Hubert sincerely thanks Byleth for choosing to side with Edelgard right before she declares war on the Church, and fights alongside them and his fellow Black Eagles in the ensuing imperial invasion ofGarreg Mach Monastery. After Byleth's return, Hubert and Edelgard officially co-found the Black Eagle Strike Force. Afterwards, he explains to Byleth the empire's temporary alliance with "those who slither in the dark" before proceeding to fight alongside them and Edelgard for the rest of the war. When Arianrhod is destroyed during Adrestia's conquest of Fódlan by "those who slither in the dark" as payback forCornelia's death, Hubert reveals they employed a "javelin of light" to commit the act, and that it is likely they have already used them in the past in order to destroy Ailell.

Analysis

Hubert has the second highest magical damage output in the game, boasting a high growth inmagic, good growths indexterity andspeed, averageHP and low growths instrength anddefense. While theweight of his spells often prevents him from doubling enemies, their high might will often let Hubert defeat enemies in one shot—or at the very least deal heavy damage if playing Maddening—throughout the majority of the game. Their shakier accuracy also means he can be prone to miss targets with highavoid, and though this can be resolved by making Hubert master theArcher class forHit +20, it also means he will have to spend some time in a class without the ability to cast magic. Hubert can unlock two 3-range spells withMire Β andDeath Γ at D+ and B inreason, allowing him to snipe out enemies from afar easily and fairly early into the game.Banshee Θ, unlocked at C-rank, can provide a lot of utility by reducing the movement of upcoming enemies by five, and his strongest spell unlocked at A-rank,Dark Spikes Τ, makes him effective at removing enemy cavalry units. Hubert's personal ability,Officer Duty, grants him plus five might when usinggambits, allowing the player to not strictly use an ability slot for theauthority ability. When Hubert can't make it to the front lines, he can provide buffs to other units via Rally skills, as he can get bothRally Magic andRally Resistance quickly at D and C+ rank in Authority respectively; Hubert also has access toRally Speed at S-rank, but it can be impractical to obtain in the long run since it requires heavy investment into Authority, which is usually reached very late into the Crimson Flower route. Likewise, while Hubert is also one of the few magic-oriented units to have access toRecover at C-rank infaith, his weakness in that expertise can make unlocking the spell fairly difficult. Hubert's major weaknesses lie in his average HP and low Defense growths, preventing him from dealing with many enemies during enemy phase, and in the low movement of classes that can use magic. The last weakness can be patched up with theCaduceus Staff however, which grants him plus one to his magic range.

Hubert also possesses a Budding Talent forLances. If trained he gets access toFrozen Lance, a magical lance combat art that increases in damage output based on his dexterity. With the right lance and a high dexterity stat, this art is capable of dealing a lot of damage, possibly even more than his most powerful spells. However, it's also an art locked at one-range, which potentially exposes Hubert to counterattacks and attacks on the enemy phase he won't be able to retaliate against. While his mediocre strength and low defense otherwise make his lance rank irrelevant—as he'll certainly deal no damage without the magical lanceArrow of Indra, which can be obtained in his paralogue during Part II—it can make the process of reclassing into a Dark Knight easier.

Taking into account Hubert's strengths and growths, his best class progression is to start as aMonk; then promote into aDark Mage in order to duplicate hisMiasma Δ uses, gain access toHeartseeker, which has good synergy with Frozen Lance and can provide support to nearby allies by lowering the avoid of adjacent enemies, and master it to gain access toPoison Strike, which can provide passive damage to monsters. He should also try to promote to Mage for some extra power before playingChapter 4 if possible, or if theDark Seal in that chapter was skipped. For the advanced tier, promote him into aDark Bishop, which increases his offensive capabilities further and can remove the need of healing him once he masters the class and acquiresLifetaker. While it's not strictly necessary for Hubert to master theMage class sinceFiendish Blow is an innate ability of Dark Bishop and cannot be stacked up, it can prove useful in the long run should Hubert become a Dark Knight in the lategame; by contrast, theWarlock class won't benefit him in any way, as the class' innate abilities,Black Tomefaire andBlack Magic Uses x2, won't bolster hisdark magic prowess; on a related note, Hubert has no way of gainingDark Magic Uses x2 for any of his Dark Magic spells, owing to the ability being exclusive to the female-onlyGremory class. The best master class for Hubert isDark Knight, as it provides himDark Tomefaire,Canto and more mobility, letting him stay at the pace of the rest of the army. Getting a D rank in Faith for Heal can also pay off, since his higher magic stat allows him to heal more than other magical units.
