Hamber

Pre-series

Years prior to the series, Hamber became friends with Diana, but they became estranged as time went on. Sometime later, Hamber became a member of the Explorers and told his boss about a mysterious pendant that his friend Diana possessed. Hamber then contacted Diana and demanded she give the pendant to him, but failed as she escaped from him. Later, Hamber found out that Diana no longer possessed the pendant as she gave it to her granddaughter, Liko.

Pokémon Horizons: The Series

Hamber first appeared in The Treasure After the Storm!, communicating with Amethio regarding Liko's pendant.

After Amethio's mission to Roy's hometown, Hamber appeared along with the admins of the Explorers at a meeting with Gibeon. When Amethio and Spinel began to argue, Hamber reminded the two that they were in the presence of their leader and after the group left the place, Hamber spoke with Gibeon about his boss's goals.

In Quaxly, We Can Do It, Hamber showed up at another meeting with the Explorers Admins to hear Spinel's briefing on his mission. After Spinel refused to give complete information, Hamber decided to end the meeting.

In Reunion at the Ancient Castle!, Hamber received Amethio's report on his unit's unsanctioned activity pursuing the Rising Volt Tacklers in Galar. Upon learning of the mysterious Pokémon that had emerged from the pendant, Hamber recruited Coral and Sidian to accompany him to the region, as he wished to see it directly for himself. In the next episode, Hamber told Coral and Sidian to stay behind until he needed them. Hamber then reunited with Diana as he tried to prevent her escape, but failed. After the Rising Volt Tacklers escaped, Hamber reported to Gibeon.

In As Long as I'm with My Friends, Hamber and the other Admins met to discuss their next objective. Following Amethio's suggestion, Hamber and others discussed the possibility of going after Lucius's mysterious Rayquaza, but the meeting ended without a consensus.

In Roar of the Black Rayquaza, Hamber was asked by Amethio to train him to become stronger following a defeat at the hands of the Black Rayquaza, a request that Hamber accepted.

In Respective Departures, following a conversation with Gibeon, Hamber had a battle with Amethio, with the former using his Dusknoir to face off against Amethio's Ceruledge. Although evenly matched, Ceruledge started to overpower Dusknoir, only for Hamber to pull out a Tera Orb and Terastallize Dusknoir and win the battle. After the battle, Hamber handed Amethio a Tera Orb.

In From So Far Away, Hamber met with the other Explorers to hear the new objectives imposed by Gibeon. After the end of the meeting, he stayed with Amethio while the other team members left the meeting room.

In HZ054, Hamber accompanied Amethio in a personal meeting with Gibeon and, after leaving the place, he showed satisfaction with Amethio's progress in searching for Laqua's location.

In HZ065, Hamber and the other Admins gathered at the Explorers HQ, where they discussed some footage Spinel presented of Amethio helping Liko escape from a cave. Hamber agreed to hear Amethio out, but before he could provide an explanation, Gibeon interrupted. Declaring Amethio a traitor for aiding the enemy, Gibeon casted his grandson out of the Explorers.

Hamber was mentioned in HZ067 during a report from Chalce to Spinel, according to her, Hamber began to suspect the events that led to Amethio's expulsion and began investigating what happened.

Hamber is loyal and respectful to the Explorers' leader Gibeon, talking to him in a respectful and reverent tone. Despite this, he is willing to indulge his own curiosity at times, as seen in Reunion at the Ancient Castle! where, instead of reporting Amethio's unsanctioned actions to his boss immediately, he decided to investigate Terapagos's appearance directly for himself. He is also a talented Trainer in his own right, with the ability to battle on even footing with Amethio as well as possessing a Tera Orb.

Although Hamber expresses some concern for his subordinates' safety when they undertake dangerous operations, he does not hesitate to be stern with them if they are acting improperly in Gibeon's presence or show dissention in the ranks. However, he is more considerate to Amethio, as he was willing to train him and gave him a Tera Orb for his efforts, and was somewhat hesitant to believe Spinel's claims that Amethio had betrayed the group.
