Hugh Fitzlary is one of the Seven Shards of Empyrean.

History

One of the Seven Shards who studies to combine magical energy with Empyrean's scientific technology. An expert on explosives. He grew up in Northpiece, thanks to his mother who was a great trader, but he's not highborn. The nobility vehemently opposed when he was first considered for a Shard, not only because of his commoner status, but also because of their suspicion in this thing called magic that he advocated. But Beldron, the archpriest at that time, made him a Shard despite the opposition and secretly funded his magic research. After the path down to the Sky Tower was opened, Hugh applied for Empyrean's delegation to Underworld, and disappeared on the first day he arrived in Arad. Several incidents for which he is suspected to be responsible have been reported since then, but no one knows exactly where he is.

Dialogue

Request Chat (Ghent, Post-Empyrean War)

• Ghent is now recovering its old beauty before the war, and the Oceanic Express railroads are also being rebuilt. Finally, peace is back! Now Empyrean shouldn't need me anymore-

Gina Theodore: Hugh, stop pestering the Adventurer and come over here.

*Sigh* Can I ever have a break?

• Huh? Why do I have a noble accent? Hah hah. You're funny! I'm of House Fitzlary, the greatest trader family in Northpiece. Of course, I'd talk like a noble.

...

There are eyes on us. Let's just leave it at that, alright? I've got my reasons, okay?

• What do you think would happen if Empyrean's technology was combined with the mysterious energy of magic? I think about that all the time. I dream of the day when I show a brand new world to the other Empyreans who scoff at magic or are afraid of it for no apparent reason. Hah hah.
• That storm in the Sea of Storms. I also saw it from Arad. I also gathered information about it and looked why it generated such tremendous mana from its center. My research is not yet complete, but I still want to show it to Her Majesty. She needs to know the storm's influence on Arad, so she can be prepared for its influence on her country. Also she needs to know that I, Hugh Fitzlary, am the best when it comes to understanding that storm, so-

Gina Theodore: So, she'll send you back to Arad, right? But I'm not letting you go until you finish your report.

... I'm getting out of here, no matter what.
