Hubert Oswell

Hubert Oswell, also known as Hubert Lhant and Little Bro, is one of the main characters from the Tales of Grace series.
== Charactah Account ==
Hubert is Asbel Lhant's younger brother by one year and he is part of the military and has the status of a major. Though he is part of the Lhant family, he becomes a member of the Oswell family while Asbel is absent.
Once a timid little boy who was forced to follow his brother in schemes that would get them both into trouble, Hubert's experiences with the Oswell family that took him away from his brother turned him into an arrogant, overly rational and extremely serious young man. Hubert was adopted after the death of a childhood friend, an event which led him to the belief that Asbel was a bad influence on him. In fact, Aston's decision to give Hubert away eventually proved to have made a temporary, but very negative impact on the relationships with his family, so much so that Hubert behaves coldly towards them out of spite for discarding him. This led to Hubert resenting his brother, and during their reunion he boasts that he has become stronger and more mature than Asbel could ever have hoped to become.
During his training in the military and living with the Oswells, Hubert changed a lot during the game's time skip. Gaining confidence, knowledge, and influence in Strahta, Hubert shows distrust toward Malik Caesar and Pascal during their travels to the Amarcian Enclave, but he withdraws his hostility after Pascal saves his life during a beast attack near the enclave.

== Trivia ==
* Hubert is an English name that derives from the identical Old French name, which itself derives from the Germanic hug, meaning "heart" or "mind", and berht, meaning "bright" or "famous", an apt name for Hubert, considering his background.
* In his cut-in image, Hubert uses the "Rune Dualblade", which appears as his default weapon in his crossover appearances.
* Hubert's main arc outfit appears as a legacy costume for Eizen in Tales of Berseria.
* In certain skits, it is shown that Hubert is obsessed with the Sunscreen Rangers, a series of action figures popular in Strahta. This is seen when he talks about wanting to be Sunscreen Ranger Red and corrects Pascal when she mistakes some facts about one of the Sunscreen Ranger villains. This carries over into Tales of Xillia 2, in which, during some victory quotes, Elle Mel Marta will make references to Sunscreen Rangers, also stating that they are a branch of Strahta's military, which is a direct nod to Hubert.
* Along with Pascal, Hubert makes a cameo appearance in Tales of Hearts R in the coliseum. He can also be fought wearing a costume of Kuro, one of Sony's mascots.
