Hugh didn't always hunt evil or have superpowers. There's a backstory which may be revealed in a single plot arc or hinted at in pieces.


Birth

At birth an even Fay embued Hugh with the Destroyer's mark. This would not only grant him supernatural power but drive him mad if he did not sate the mark's demand for destruction. The mark was built off of Hugh's birthmark, the half-phoenix. Consequently his power and madness would be linked to Twinworld's halfmoon cycle.

To counter this curse Durand secretly builds upon the marks by inscribing the pentagram which is the symbol for supernatural evil. This changes the spellmark to signify Hugh as the destroyers of evil. His power and madness are inseparable linked to evil and drive him to destroy it whenever possible.

He eventually learns to block out the demonic voices.
