History

Pre-series

Hamber demanding the pendant

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 he refused to give complete information, Hamber decided to end the meeting.

In HZ024, 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 Galar, as he wished to see the Pokémon 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 escape them, Hamber reported to Gibeon.

Hamber training with Amethio

In HZ027, Hamber met with Amethio to discuss new information about the current objective of the Explorers, shortly after, Hamber and the other Admins of the group will meet to discuss the next objectives. 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 HZ033, Hamber was asked by Amethio to train him to become stronger following a defeat by Rayquaza which Hamber accepted.

In HZ034 following a conversation with Gibeon, Hamber had a battle with Amethio using his Dusknoir to battle Amethio's Ceruledge. Although evenly matched, Ceruledge started to overpower Dusknoir, only for Hamber to pull out a Tera Orb and Terastal Dusknoir and win the battle. After the battle, Hamber handed Amethio a Tera Orb.

Character

Hamber's open eye

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 instead of reporting Amethio's unsanctioned actions to Gibeon 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. However, Hamber takes special care of Amethio, as noted by Chalce after their training in HZ034.

		Dusknoir ↔ Terastallized Dusknoir
		Dusknoir is Hamber's only known Pokémon. In HZ024 and HZ025, Dusknoir traveled with Hamber to the old castle in Galar, where they confronted Diana. However, Diana escaped, and Dusknoir did not have an opportunity to battle with her. Later, in HZ034, Hamber used Dusknoir in a training battle with Amethio, during which it was revealed that Dusknoir could Terastallize into a Ghost-type. With this great power, Dusknoir was able to defeat Amethio's Ceruledge. Dusknoir's known moves are Shadow Ball and Shadow Punch.
