#glaring plot holes or weird nonsense that needed to be fixed in the source game

I like Hubert in part because he's one of the simpler examples of a FE trope that 3H often tries to subvert or play with in it's cast, and also one of the most well-executed; his subversion is just “sadistic and unapologetically evil dark mage counselor Gharnef archetype, but he's a fully-realized playable character”, which makes for unique dynamics and conversations between him and the rest of the cast in his supports that aren't often seen in other FEs and, when coupled with him being the only BESF member with any amount of self-awareness as to how shitty of a person he is, makes him one of the only tolerable parts of CF and SB.

I was joking with a friend, but Hubert feels like the Gharnef-Brunya/Ishtar perfect crossover.

He is the brains behind Supreme Leader's conquest and will follow his plans no matter what, is the one who bribes/blackmails/does all kinds of unsavory things for his plans/is the canon dark magic user lol...

and yet, he will never aspire to become the head honcho of some group or to resurrect an eldritch abomination, no, Hubert's main goal is to support Supreme Leader, because it's heavily implied he loves her - no matter what that costs him or if he has to close his eyes to reality (Hanneman support!).

That's what I liked with FE16, the new take on existing archetypes, and the role reversal - Red Emperor is female, so Brunya/Ishtar will be male, but he will also be a Gharnef!

Naïve Princess who hates the war and senseless fights and puts the wellbeing of her people above everything, especially themselves (even if those people are long dead!) is now a male prince who becomes king!

Hell, the genocide survivor from a tribe of beings who have to hide else they'll be killed by humans, who is known for their singing, who thinks only the Goddess can set things to right in the world and tries to have them return to the land and the head of what would become an empire is now a woman!

Too bad everything was drowned under gallons of Hresvelg Grey :(
