Hugo

Summary
Hugo is an assistant for Orvell, often working as the man who lights his cigarettes as Orvell is too blind to light them himself, or possibly too lazy.

When both Scott and Ryker met Hugo, they both thought he was the tough guy for Orvell, sort of how Lawrence is for Valentine, but he's everything but that.

Hugo worked as one of the looters working for the Las Vegas faction within Los Angeles in the first novel and was someone Lawrence often felt sympathetic to, even letting him take a stack of water bottles during the Looting.

In the second novel as Hartwell wanted Orvell dead himself, Orvell manipulated Hugo into helping him burn down the Lava on Water Casino. Hugo often took lighters in bulk from one of the Gas Stations within Las Vegas, and broke them and poured the lighter fluid over variouus spots within the Casino.

In the third novel when Scott's in the hospital and Las Vegas is still burning. Hugo feels guilty as he helped Hartwell burn Las Vegas and people are dying because of it, so he tells Lena that Morgan was the one who caused the Lava on Water Casino to burn. Just as well, Hugo was in college to become a vetrinarian before the Rot, and helps Scott recover from the car crash with Lawrence.

After the burning of Las Vegas, Hugo treated those who suffered burns and injuries, even taking his cat to the children of the hospital.

At the end of the Third Novel, Hugo moves into the Albuquerque faction after Ryker becomes the leader of it, and Hugo makes sure to bring his cat Leon as well; Hugo gets a happy ending for himself by the end of the series. He just as well makes an appearance at Dale's Funeral.

Scott seemed to feel bad for Hugo, although he's not sure why. Scott tries to have a conversation with him, but it's once again one sided.

Leon is Hugo's cat who he mentions, when Scott asks about him while they're in the hospital, Hugo actually jokes and smiles for once, saying that every so often he'd life Leon up and sing to her. Scott asks Hugo to sing to him and Hugo thinks he's joking, but Scott laughs and encourages him to sing. Hugo sings Scott a hispanic folk and Scott enjoys the serenade.
