NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Pisces.
We ran Hughes through the same model that matches people to characters in the app, and looked at which chart gets him most often. It reads him as soft water with a sharp mind: warm, goofy and loyal, and quicker than anybody gives him credit for.

Pisces is the softest sign, and the loudest about it. Hughes pulls out photos of his wife and daughter at any excuse, even at work.

Cancer Moon is home first. He talks about Gracia and Elicia the way other people talk about the weather.

No birth time in canon. First impression: glasses, a big grin and a wallet that opens to a photo before you've shaken hands.

CanonNot in canonNEBO's takePisces
Pisces Mars is gentle until it isn't. Behind the dad jokes is a trained officer who throws knives with deadly accuracy.
What canon does give: a cheerful dad with a very good head for secrets. Pisces is the heart. He is also the one who connects the dots nobody else is looking at.
How he shows up
Why he's like this
Pisces is the sign of heart, devotion and quiet intelligence. Hughes hits every one of them, in scenes fans know by heart.

Photos of Elicia, always
He shows photos of his wife Gracia and daughter Elicia to anyone in range, at any time of day, and is hurt when you stop looking.

FeelingsCancer Moon
Mustang's best friend
Hughes is the friend Roy can call for anything. He believes in Roy's climb to the top and helps where he can.

In a fightMars in Pisces
Knives, not just jokes
When it counts, he throws knives with deadly accuracy. The dad humor was always an act on top of a very capable officer.
Brotherhood
CorePisces Sun
He knew too much
Hughes finds out something he wasn't meant to. They silence him for it, and his funeral is one of the hardest scenes in the series. It changes everything for Mustang.
