Hubert Zodiak

Hubert Zodiak, also known as Lord Zodiak and born Hubert Larson, is one of the main antagonists in LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow and its sequel, LOTM: Star Spangled Crown, alongside Moloch, Michael Langdon, the Hidden One, Vizeran DeVir, Phyllis Peach, Malcolm Dreyfuss, Jasmine Porcelain and Nether Sorensen the Demon Prince.

Being the leader of the Zodiak Cult and one of the earliest followers of Moloch since the start of the War of Independence, Hubert is responsible for the creation of Zodiac Crystals using the power of Twelve Nethers, after he made a contract with them. Therefore, Hubert is responsible for the Zodiac Demons' origin as well as the slaughter due to their creation, driving many people into fear, death and despair. He is also the foster father of Gabriel Van Tassel, whom Hubert discovered, adopted and rechristened as Karnival Zodiak and later gone by the alias Crow Faux. It was later revealed that Hubert, born as a poor colonist, had a severe Inferior Superior Complex. He was ashamed of his own status among the oppresed, so he decided to sell his soul so that he could stand high above other beings.

Initially, Hubert first made his cameo appearance in The Cranes Arc as a serial killer known as James Francis Colby, who spied into the circle of Washington and portrayed himself as an alcholic and hedonestic painter. However, during his disguise, he secretly supported the plan of Lady Van Tassel, whom he had an obssession with. However, Hubert/Colby was later stopped thanks to Abigail Adams, who lured him to the Sisterhood of the Radiant Heart loyalists after the apparent death of Ichabod Crane and the departure of Katrina Crane. Hubert was later sealed inside his own painting for more than two centuries until he was released by the start of the War of the Anti-Christ.
