Hobart is the leader of a crew of bandits in the Final Empire on Scadrial.[1]
Appearance and Personality
He is missing most of his teeth and some of his fingers.[1] Hobart and his band are brutes that all carry weapons, wear ragged, ash-stained clothing, and have a noticeable stench.[1] They are simple minded and only interested in base desires such as money, food, and sex, making them susceptible to emotional Allomancy.[1]
History
Allrianne Cett encountered Hobart's gang after she left Luthadel alone and traveled west in search of her father's army.[2][1] Somewhere along her route, Hobart and his gang charged down a hillside intending to rob and rape her, but she took control of their emotions using her Rioting abilities.[1] Allrianne was actually happy to see bandits that she could easily Riot because she knew they would provide her with shelter and an escort.[1] Allrianne used her abilities to appeal to Hobart's desire for money, making him believe that her father would reward the bandits handsomely if they helped her find his army, and Hobart suddenly took on a "gentlemanly" demeanor.[1]
Hobart's gang helped Allrianne locate the army, as she had originally headed in the wrong direction.[1] Upon their arrival, she again used Allomancy to smooth over an awkward encounter with Cett's guards, telling them to provide the bandits with food and lodging.[1] Ashweather noted that this was not the first time Allrianne had used bandits as a personal retinue.[1] Allrianne told him that some gold and prostitutes were all it would take to hire Hobart's crew as mercenaries who could help defend the army's supply lines.[1]
