Profile[]

Appearance[]

Hummel is a young man with blue eyes and light purple hair. He wears a purple jacket, light grey trousers, and a hat.

His weapon is composed of a musket rifle equipped with a bayonet.

Personality[]

He has nothing but pride in his work, and he doesn’t accept anything else but absolute satisfaction from the requests he takes on. He is also a bit of a neat freak, as proven when he uses the soap Adol gives him to help the children of Castaway Village stay clean.

As a Transporter, Hummel delivers anything, even dead bodies or illegal Items. As part of his job, he has three rules that he follows: Never breach a contract, never ask questions, and never open the package.

Background[]

Ys8-Hummel CG1 — Hummel's Recollection: "Running Away"

The Trabaldo family has operated in the society's underbelly for generations, so some consider the family to be inheritors of a dark legacy. Hummel always resented his father for choosing to continue that legacy. When Hummel was barely 10 years old, he and his father got into a fight, causing him to run away from home. He ended up living in the streets, until an elderly couple found him and took him in to their orphanage.

The new kids at the orphanage, Hummel included, could only see despair in their futures. Seeing the hopelessness in their faces, the elderly couple brought in a street performer to cheer them up. After watching that show, Hummel began to idolize street performers, so he set out to become one himself when he came of age.

Ys8-Hummel CG2 — Hummel's Recollection: "Father and Son Reunited"

Years later, after Hummel had garnered some fame as a street performer, he happened to stumble across his father. His father was in an alley, lying on his back with a fatal wound. He entrusted his son with his contraband cargo before breathing his last, so Hummel decided to fulfill his father's dying wish. The recipient of the contraband turned out to be a back-alley doctor, but the contraband itself was medicine to treat a spreading disease.

Hummel learned that people can still do good, even within society's underbelly. He also discovered from the doctor and his father's journals that the Trabaldo family had influenced events throughout history. From then on, Hummel set out to create a new legacy for the Trabaldo name.

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana[]

When Adol, Laxia, and Sahad first meet Hummel, he comes off as rude as he ignores them and continues alone. Eventually, Hummel forces himself into Adol's party but refuses to disclose his true objective.

Later on, it is revealed that Hummel boarded the Lombardia with intentions of arriving on the Isle of Seiren to deliver a package requested of his client; Thanatos Beldine.

After escaping the Isle of Seiren with the other castaways, he returned to the Romun Empire, where he quietly resumed his work as a transporter for the criminal underworld. Over the course of his work, he met the daughter of a wealthy noble who would eventually propose marriage to him, but he declined her offer and continued to work as a transporter, while also managing the orphanage where he spent his childhood.
