Along with Lord Unwin Peake, Hobert was a leader of the Caltrops who conspired to kill the Two Betrayers. After the Second Battle of Tumbleton, he brought two casks of wine to Ulf the White, Ulf was suspicious of Hobert's behaviour however and asked him to drink first. Hobert to his credit instead of betraying his allies, poured himself a glass of wine, drank it, praised the taste and poured himself a second glass. This satisfied Ulf who drank deep of the poisoned wine. They both died moments later.[2]
