Hugo Renard

Hugo Renard, III (a.k.a. Whisper)

At 5 his parents were killed in a werewolf attack he was taken in by his grandfather, Hugo Renard I (a mage and hunter). Renard was a famed hunter that focused on teaching after an injury during a hunt left him paralyzed from the waist down. Before his injury he taught Hugo how to hunt, he picked up quickly and soon began his own library of tomes.
He met Julius during their training as kids, they would spare against each other and soon became partners during their first hunts. While Julius was the main muscle Hugo supported with his knowledge and vast library. The two married after both graduating high school and continued to hunt together.

He helped rally a number of hunters against Lambach during the Final Nights. He discovered link between Dracula's power and the stars, he devised a ritual of old magicks to lock Dracula and the power of his castle into the solar eclipse.

Hugo continued to hunt as Julius went to university slowing down as they adopted their children. Brother & sister pair: Nikolas (8), Julia (7) and a baby Ellie (1).

After an attack led by Lambach his children were killed as him & Julius were restrained. He was given the embrace by Lambach which sent Julius into a frenzy. Julius was able to kill the lesser vampires with the help of Steffan but Lambach was able to get away. Hugo begged Julius to take his life before the embrace took hold as he wanted to die a human.

Him and his children were cremated, their urns located in Julius' office.

Personal history

Being raised by his grandfather he was taught skills in research and understand of spells and rituals. He was knowledgeable about various religions and spiritual practices. He kept a journal along with an inventory of his & Julius' library, weaponry and artifacts. He was most skills at exorcisms and binding spells. He also has knowledge of blood magic but only used in case of emergencies.
He started to develop a way for hunters to be able to nullify some of the supernatural abilities of their targets. While never finished he did complete one prototype he gifted to Julius before the final showdown during the Final Nights. Julius wore a vial as a necklace however broke after resisting 2 supernatural attacks from Lambach.
Orbo: mixture of protection herbs with the blood of a mage, werewolf and vampire. Designed to protect the user from supernatural abilities, redirecting any harm to the vial instead of the user.
After the Final Nights he tinkered with the formula, finding that a mixture of all three blood proved too powerful stable use. He found that if each blood was separated the Orbo was more stable.
