Personality

Story

Skylanders: The Machine of Doom

Hugo went to the Mabu Market after seeing that Eon's citadel larders were running low. While he was browsing the stalls, both Hugo and Flynn were attacked by flying sheep and escaped to warn the Skylanders. On Eon's Island, the Skylanders didn't believe Hugo and Flynn at first, but upon seeing the Mabu Market in a wreck and the flying sheep through use of Eon's portal, the great Portal Master sent Spyro, Gill Grunt, and Eruptorto find out what was going on.

Afterwards, Spyro told Hugo of an item Kaos was seeking called the Chattering Key, which the Mabu immediately went to searching for through the library. Hugo was able to find out through ancient records that the Key was an item created by the Arkeyans that would unlock an ancient Arkeyan artifact. The Mabu then handed the Skylanders a map to the Forest of Fear where the Key resided.

Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure

Hugo was present with Master Eon when Kaos and The Darkness approached, and was told by Eon to take his station to hide for cover. He managed to survive Kaos' initial attack and the destruction of the Core of Light by hiding under a rocky hatch that was his station. Hugo was later called by Eon to seek out the new Portal Master and the Skylanders on the Shattered Island, and later helped the Skylanders to rebuild the Core of Light by guiding them on their journey to find the Eternal Sources.

After Kaos was defeated, Master Eon gave the honor of banishing Kaos to Hugo, who eagerly accepted the offer and sent the evil Portal Master to Earth.

Skylanders: Giants

Informed by Master Eon, Hugo approached Flynn and Cali when they were in the docks near the Dread-Yacht, informing them of a new danger coming to Skylands and that a new Portal Master, the Skylanders, and Giants will help out. The Mabu soon sees Flynn and Cali off to their adventure, remaining at the Ruins. 

In the 3DS version, Hugo takes part in helping out the Skylanders by using a machine called the Portaltron 9000 to help summon the Skylanders into the game.

Trivia

• It is mentioned by Cali that Hugo claimed that he built the Core of Light, until he admitted that it was the Ancients who built it.
• If Hugo is attacked in Shattered Islands in the Wii version, or the Ruins in the PS3/Xbox 360 versions, he explains to the Portal Masters why the non-playable characters cannot die when they are attacked.
