Hugo

Hugo was a member of Momentum Labs, a privately funded think-tank that managed to find the ancient grimoire known as the Darkhold. They began experimenting with the knowledge they found within it, defying the laws of physics. However, a catastrophic disaster caused by their attempts to use the book's mystical properties to power their advanced technologies transformed Hugo and the rest of the team into ghostly apparitions. Lucy Bauer freed him and set out on a personal mission to reclaim the Darkhold to restore their lives as well as get revenge on the man responsible for the experiment that caused their predicament. He was later killed by Ghost Rider.

Biography
Not much is known about Hugo, other than being married.

Incident at Momentum Labs
A freak explosion caused by the Darkhold's magics obliterated the lab. Hugo and three of his colleagues, Lucy, Frederick, and Vincent, were caught in the blast, and the magical fallout transformed them into grotesque, spiritual entities. They were subsequently placed within cubicle containment devices and placed in storage for several years.

Freed
==== Lucy eventually made her way to Momentum Labs, freeing Hugo Frightened at their current state, Hugo said 'he must pay' thinking they had been in the cells for hours, Bauer informed him that it had been years. ==== After releasing the others, the group began to argue amongst each other, saying that Bauer should not have used the Darkhold. Bauer said that the book could help and fix them, and that after doing that, they would kill 'him' and anyone who got in their way. The group (excluding Frederick) left Momentum Labs to begin their search for the Darkhold.
