Personality

Owing to his lack of dialogue, little can be seen of Hyman's personality, but he appears to be a ruthless bandit without any tolerance for those that try to leave the Soothsires.

In the anime, Hyman can be friendly and accommodating to competent subordinates likeNavarre. He is also seen to enjoy betting onArena battles. Hyman was enraged and confused when Navarre left his forces.

Quotes

Battle quote

Waltzing into the Soothsires' turf like you own the place... You got a death wish? 'Cause we're happy to oblige!
— Hyman, inMystery of the Emblem.
Har. You must really want to die, comin' into the Soothsires' palace unbidden!
— Hyman, inShadow Dragon.

Death quote

Arrgh... One day it'll be you!
— Hyman, inMystery of the Emblem.
Arrgh...One day it'll be you!
— Hyman, inShadow Dragon.

Trivia

  • Hyman is the first boss in the series to have a portrait; those in prior chapters—Gazzak andGomer—lack portraits inShadow Dragon & the Blade of Light.
  • Hyman does not need to be defeated inShadow Dragon & the Blade of Light andMystery of the Emblem Book I, as he does not begin the battle on of the gate, allowingLena to warpJulian to the castle before Hyman has a chance to move.
