Hugo helps John Canty capture Edward, who they believe is Tom Canty. He lures Edward away from Miles Hendon's boarding house by pretending to carry a message from Miles. Hugo is described as deceitful, manipulative, and a bully. When he is finally successful in goading Edward into a fight.... Edward easily wins. As a result, Hugo hates him all the more.
