Hume is a man of supreme intellect — a mind of rare brilliance and tactical prowess. Over time he became one of the most ruthless and powerful lords of demonkind. He rose to such might in the wake of the Farer Mythindra's death, a loss that proved both a most pivotal moment and the beginning of a descent into madness. His love for her was absolute and felt it was his sacred duty to revive her. He was then, in every meaningful sense, a man being unmade, slowly eroding, until neither his spirit nor his biology bore any honest claim to what he once was for he had delved too deeply even into horrific rituals and blood arts that corrupted every part of him. He was, however, then in possession of innumerable powers and was eventually glorified among demons as an formidable leader. Hume was once even the master of Cirogaan the Golden, but Cirogaan’s ambitions became too great and he eventually defected.

Though Hume never came close to resurrecting Mythindra, he was successful with various other creatures such as two angels who’d been beheaded and cast out of Caelum by Radiance’s order for their treachery: Desolate Sartre and Hallowed Antal as they are now called, considered demons in their reformed bodies. He reanimated their corpses and placed angelic relics from other experiments upon their shoulders. This he intended as a mockery toward Caelum, to Radiance in particular, for Hume believed he his achievements had both surpassed and severely undermined the Great Angel.
