===House of the Dragon: Season 1===
Lord Hobert attends court in King's Landing and swears an oath of fealty to King Viserys in the throne room to recognize Rhaenyra Targaryen as heir to the Iron Throne.
Hobert's niece Alicent Hightower marries King Viserys. During the preparations for the second name-day of their son, Prince Aegon Targaryen, Hobert quietly pressures Otto to sway the king to name Aegon as his heir as his firstborn son. Later at the hunt, Hobert publicly hails the infant prince as "Aegon the Conqueror-Babe, Second of His Name", in spite of his previous oath to Rhaenyra Princess of Dragonstone.
One year later, Lord Hobert travels to King's Landing, alongside his wife and other members of their family, to attend the celebrations for the royal wedding of Princess Rhaenyra to Ser Laenor Velaryon. Like the other guests, he is astonished when Alicent wears the green Hightower colors instead of those of House Targaryen, but is the first to stand as Alicent makes her way to the high table of the throne room. When Alicent later steps down to greet her uncle, Hobert assures her that she has the support and loyalty of Oldtown.
Hobert dies at some point between the wedding and the Dance of the Dragons, and is succeeded by his son Ormund.

==In the books==
In Fire & Blood, the given name of Lord Hightower during the reign of Viserys I is not revealed. He once received a letter from his brother Otto, containing the words: "On no account can Prince Daemon be allowed to ascend to the Iron Throne. [...] He would be a second Maegor the Cruel, or worse. [...] Better the Realm's Delight than Lord Flea Bottom." Besides this, nothing more is heard from Lord Hightower. He was succeeded by his son Ormund by the time of the Dance of the Dragons.
There is a character in Fire & Blood named Hobert Hightower, but he is not the same character.
