|}
Hamber (Japanese: ハンベル HambelExplorers Original Acrylic Stand) is the second-in-command of the Explorers after Gibeon. In addition to this role, he also serves as Gibeon's butler. He is a recurring major antagonist within Pokémon Horizons: The Series.
==History==
===Pre-series===
Years prior to the series, Hamber was an adventurer and became friends with another one, Diana, even travelling together sometimes. However, they became estranged to each other as time went on. Sometime after moving away from Diana, Hamber became lost and aimless in his path as an adventurer, but he met Gibeon, who guided Hamber and persuaded him to join the Explorers, becoming one of Gibeon's most loyal subordinates.
Hamber was also in charge of taking care of Gibeon's young grandson, Amethio, after the death of the boy's . Hamber and Amethio became very close, with Amethio considering Hamber a father figure. As a high-ranking member of the Explorers, Hamber became responsible for finding and training new talent for the organization, which is how he found Coral, Chalce, and Sidian, three other Admins of the Explorers alongside himself and Amethio.
At some point in the past, he told his boss about a mysterious pendant that his friend Diana possessed. Hamber returned to her, wanting to introduce Diana to Gibeon, who he said had the answers she was looking for. However, she realized that the man she knew was just another member of the Explorers that was after the pendant. Later, Hamber found out that Diana no longer possessed the pendant as she gave it to her granddaughter, Liko.
===Pokémon Horizons: The Series===
Hamber first appeared in The Treasure After the Storm!, communicating with Amethio regarding Liko's pendant.
After Amethio's mission to Roy's hometown, Hamber appeared along with the admins of the Explorers at a meeting with Gibeon. When Amethio and Spinel began to argue, Hamber reminded the two that they were in the presence of their leader and after the group left the place, Hamber spoke with Gibeon about his boss's goals.
In Quaxly, We Can Do It, Hamber showed up at another meeting with the Explorers Admins to hear Spinel's briefing on his mission. After Spinel refused to give complete information, Hamber decided to end the meeting.
In Reunion at the Ancient Castle!, Hamber received Amethio's report on his unit's unsanctioned activity pursuing the Rising Volt Tacklers in Galar. Upon learning of the mysterious Pokémon that had emerged from the pendant, Hamber recruited Coral and Sidian to accompany him to the region, as he wished to see it directly for himself. In the next episode, Hamber told Coral and Sidian to stay behind until he needed them. Hamber then reunited with Diana as he tried to prevent her escape, but failed. After the Rising Volt Tacklers escaped, Hamber reported to Gibeon.
In As Long as I'm with My Friends, Hamber and the other Admins met to discuss their next objective. Following Amethio's suggestion, Hamber and others discussed the possibility of going after Lucius's mysterious , but the meeting ended without a consensus.
In Roar of the Black Rayquaza, Hamber was asked by Amethio to train him to become stronger following a defeat at the hands of the Black Rayquaza, a request that Hamber accepted.
In Respective Departures, following a conversation with Gibeon, Hamber had a with Amethio, with the former using his to face off against Amethio's Ceruledge. Although evenly matched, Ceruledge started to overpower Dusknoir, only for Hamber to pull out a Tera Orb and stallize Dusknoir and win the battle. After the battle, Hamber handed Amethio a Tera Orb.
In From So Far Away, Hamber met with the other Explorers to hear the new objectives imposed by Gibeon. After the end of the meeting, he stayed with Amethio while the other team members left the meeting room.
In The Treasure of Eternity, Hamber accompanied Amethio in a personal meeting with Gibeon and, after leaving the place, he showed satisfaction with Amethio's progress in searching for Laqua's location.
In Liko and Amethio, Hamber and the other Admins gathered at the Explorers HQ, where they discussed some footage Spinel presented of Amethio helping Liko escape from a cave. Hamber agreed to hear Amethio out, but before he could provide an explanation, Gibeon interrupted. Declaring Amethio a traitor for aiding the enemy, Gibeon casted his grandson out of the Explorers.
In Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!, Hamber was mentioned during a report from Chalce to Spinel. According to her, Hamber began to suspect the events that led to Amethio's expulsion and began investigating what happened.
In HZ079, Hamber tasked Coral and Sidian with entering Area Zero.
In HZ083, Hamber rescued Amethio, Zirc, and Onia, and returned them their Pokémon after they were caught by Spinel's security guards. At Amethio's mansion, Hamber informed the group of how he met and worked for Gibeon, how he mentored and trained Amethio, Coral, Sidian, and Chlace, saved for Spinel, as well as talking about Gibeon's past with Lucius and Rystal, from his boss' point of view. He expressed similiar views with Amethio in suspecting Spinel of betraying Gibeon to steal the Laquium crystals for himself. He then bid the group farewell as they headed to Laqua.
==Character==
Hamber is loyal and respectful to the Explorers' leader Gibeon, talking to him in a respectful and reverent tone. Despite this, he is willing to indulge his own curiosity at times, as seen in Reunion at the Ancient Castle! where, instead of reporting Amethio's unsanctioned actions to his boss immediately, he decided to investigate 's appearance directly for himself. He is also a talented in his own right, with the ability to battle on even footing with Amethio as well as possessing a Tera Orb.
Although Hamber expresses some concern for his subordinates' safety when they undertake dangerous operations, he does not hesitate to be stern with them if they are acting improperly in Gibeon's presence or show dissention in the ranks. However, he is more considerate to Amethio, as he was willing to train him and gave him a Tera Orb for his efforts, and was somewhat hesitant to believe Spinel's claims that Amethio had betrayed the group.
