Appearance
Halbert is a young man in his late teens to early 20's and has short hair.

Personality
Orginally, Halbert was hot-headed and naive as he was first seen arguing with Kaede over the politics of the newly-appointed king Kazuya Souma. However, after his transfer to the Forbidden Army, he later begins to respect the hero-turned-king for his methods, innovations, and especially the new foods that were introduced.

History
Halbert was first seen arguing with his childhood friend Kaede at Juna Doma's cafe. He began insulting the new king Souma and berated him for dismissing the corrupt nobles. He even bragged of his intent to join Georg Carmine's rebellion. Unknown to him, Kazuya, Liscia Elfrieden and Aisha Udgard were there in disguise and heard the entire argument.

After revealing his identity, Kazuya then pointed out that Halbert's words could be interpreted as treason. He also pointed out to Halbert of the grave consequences to his family and Kaede, should he go through with his intent to join the rebellion. Some time later, Halbert's father was informed by Kaede of the incident, which ended in Halbert being 'disciplined' for his actions.

The next day, Glaive Magna and he son had an audience with Kazuya as Glaive begged to not have his son arrested and executed for treason. Kazuya instead decided to transfer Halbert to the Forbidden Army and be placed under the command of Kaede.
