Contents
Appearance
H.B. is a human with green eyes and short dark brown hair with bangs that sweep to the left of his face. He wears 眼镜/眼镜, and has a mole under his left eye.
Personality
H.B. is an egotistical, narcissistic man, and keeps a rather strict order of importance among people, and 任务. He can often desert certain people to help those he deems more important, though he does mature from this behavior. He very often considers his image and how his interactions with Cross will benefit him. Despite this he is still concerned with the future of human life, and performs his job as a BLADE for the greater good. He is also very ambitious; he 希梅莉 that someday he will take over the role of Commander in place of 凡达姆.
He rarely displays emotion in battle or on 任务. However he is not completely devoid of feelings. In the 牵绊任务, 恐怖的暴虐王, he displays anger at an excessive 屠杀者 of 诺彭. He admits to Cross that he believes becoming emotional is a hindrance, and avoids letting his feelings get the better of him.

| Anytime (spoken) | "Have you come for the best?" | "Come now, let's go!" | "Oh? Well then..." |
| Default | "I can only assume that you're engaged in a mission that requires assistance from a BLADE of my caliber, and have turned to me in a desperate plea for aid. I should be outraged, but your brazenness intrigues me. You would have me accompany you, yes?" | "Then let us be off! I am sure you are eager to witness my elite talents firsthand, and I would hate to keep you in suspense." | "...I'm 很抱歉? Did you just decline my assistance? Who exactly do you think you are?" |
| 第5章 | "With my talents on your team, the likes of the Ganglion are hardly a threat at all. Mere puppies, in fact. Let us depart for 忘却溪谷 together, so that I may ensure your mission ends as a rousing success." | "Let the Ganglion taste the might of the elite-est elites!" | "...I'm 很抱歉? Did you just decline my assistance? Who exactly do you think you are?" |
| 第7章 | "An entire army of Ganglion? Is that supposed to frighten me? Well, it does not! For there is no life that Hector Birtwhistle cannot save. I trust you'll want me to accompany you to 忘却溪谷?" | "Let the Ganglion taste the might of the elite-est elites!" | "...I'm 很抱歉? Did you just decline my assistance? Who exactly do you think you are?" |
| 第9章 | "Sylvalum is home to many of the Ganglion's most elite warriors. I certainly 希梅莉 you aren't considering doing something foolish, such as going there without me to protect you. No, that will not do. You must take me along!" | "Let the Ganglion taste the might of the elite-est elites!" | "...I'm 很抱歉? Did you just decline my assistance? Who exactly do you think you are?" |
| 第10章 | "A 数据探针 is in need of 维修? That sounds like a job for an elite Pathfinder such as myself! Wisely accept my assistance, and your mission is all but guaranteed to end in a flawless triumph. Confetti! Parades! All of this can be yours!" | "Then we shall journey together until the day the 生命舱核心 is found. Excelsior!" | "...I'm 很抱歉? Did you just decline my assistance? Who exactly do you think you are?" |
| 第11章 | "As a 伙伴 pathfinder, I have a duty to put a stop to Lao's transgressions. You must take me to 劳!" | "I will make 晴天 to him which of us is the finest man in all the 开拓部." | "Then it seems I must entrust my duty to you. Promise me that you will find a way to stop him." |
| 第12章 | "And now we come to our last and most important mission--securing the 生命舱核心. And who better to serve as your co-star in the war's final act, mmm?" | "Then let us show the rest of BLADE what it means to be elite!" | "...I'm 很抱歉? Did you just decline my assistance? Who exactly do you think you are?" |
| After 第12章 | "One day, they will build the Hector Birtwhistle Memorial Center on this vacant land. And in order to fill its many wings, there are still more 任务 I must complete, and more plaudits I must win. Please, you must take me with you! The more you help me achieve, the more likely you'll be honored with a plaque. Or perhaps a small statue near the restrooms." | "Entrust me to whatever duties you wish. There is no problem that I cannot solve." | "...I'm 很抱歉? Did you just decline my assistance? Who exactly do you think you are?" |
