On M4-14 373 ASB Heord's father was captured by the Sand Republic. Dervot Heord was released from Sand captivity on M1-04 375 ASB though he spent most of his time at his place of work away from Hugo and his mother, on M3-25 375 ASB Hugo Heord's parents divorced and Hugo left with his mother who had changed her name back to Fleur Lara, the pair moved to Briciole in southeastern Clayistan.

Hugo Heord's first meeting with his father since 379 ASB took place on M4-28 403 ASB and did not go too well due to Hugo's anger at him for leaving his mother, though Hugo had the good sense not to criticize Dervot IV's coup which he also did not approve of as he much like his mother had quite a high opinion of the Sectile dynasty.

During his stay at the Clayistan embassy none of the other Clayistan officials knew that he was the son of Dervot IV just that he was a member of the Heord dynasty, this was due to both the lack of publication of his existence and due to not carrying any royal titles with him, not even prince. During his initial time as chief ambassador his only friend was a member of the embassy's Sandy Clay staff that he managed to befriend named Finella Coates, though Hugo was not particularly interested in talking to the other ambassadors.
