Personal Details
"Bah. I don't buy any of that superstition stuff, boy. It's gonna take more than superstition to knock me off."
"Magpie" - Main Theme (Spike In A Rail)
"Svarog" - Piloting (Stolz)

A career soldier through and through, Hugues Monette has been with the French Army ever since he was 19 years old. His record is long and extensive, having served in Libya, Iraq, Kosovo, Somalia, the Congo, Indonesia, Australia and a score of other places. He's a consummate survivor and an old hand at leading men. He knows the score better than most- the sheer number of conflicts he's seen have made him hard and cynical about military matters, and he takes no chances when it comes to the battlefield.

Despite this, he's well known for being a good listener, a giver of helpful advice, and a fairly good chap all around. His long military career hasn't prevented him from starting a family, and he's been happily married for thirty-two years now. He has two children, both of which are fully grown up at this point and off doing their own thing.

Hugues met Raphael in the Balkans during the peacekeeping mission to the ravaged area. The two became firm friends, Raphael's quick rise up the ranks being no barrier.

Since being hand-picked by Guillory to serve in the initial Superheavy Unit in 2016, Hugues’ sheer force of personality has seen him serve as Raphael’s XO almost by default – a role that has persisted into their time in the SOS. He shows little sign of psychological trauma from his time in the unit or his contact with Angelic beings, concerns have been raised about his habit of taking trophies from the battlefield. While he is typically dismissive of questions regarding the items or his interest in them, routine psychological analysis has reported hints of an increasing degree of frustration with – and distance from - his family life as the war has grown stranger, particularly over their inability to understand the sort of things he faces on a day-to-day basis.
