Prince Humphrey Albermarle is an initial antagonist and later protagonist of Harpy Gee.

Appearance
Humphrey is a pale, white haired young man. He is usually seen wearing a bluish-purple cape, a white blouse and white pants. He also has beautiful wings that are often hidden.

Personality
Humphrey is grumpy and secretive. He has a very pessimistic outlook on life, and rarely sees the good in anything.

He is often very demanding, as he's used to a life of royalty. He expects people to do what he wants. Despite not being in a position of authority, he bosses people around. He went as far as to lie to Ash to get him to do chores.

Humphrey is also quite lazy. He does not wish to work and when he's forced to, he will complain the entire time. He isn't very efficient, either; with the amount of complaining he does, nothing gets done.

Despite this, Humphrey is not a bad person. He often shows small gestures of kindness, such as making sure people are happy.

Background
As a child, Humphrey was very close to his twin sister, Halesia. They did everything together. Halesia's powers grew, however, and he did not. While she gained responsibilities, he continued his everyday lessons. He worked extra hard so he could teach her what she was missing. He gained many skills, such as baking, sewing and music; however, despite his efforts, he grew apart from his sister.

On his 21st birthday, Humphrey ran away from his home at the capital because he had grown wings. Since then, he's been on his way to becoming a monster. It's been said he looks "monsterish" when he's angry. When he went out to the tavern with Ash and the other guards he found that he could breath fire.

After making some very good muffins, Humphrey was made the royal chef, much to his dismay.

Halesia
Halesia and Humphrey are estranged twins. They were once very close, singing, studying and playing together. Once Halesia took a position of power, however, things changed. The two do not get along very well. Humphrey is bitter that his sister outshines her. Halesia is disappointed in the lack of responsibility of her brother.

Ash
Ash and Humphrey seem to be good friends. While they often squabble, they tell each other secrets. Ash even thinks of Humphrey as an older brother.

Harpy Gee
Humphrey and Harpy have a complicated relationship. Humphrey really likes Harpy and is trying to apologize to her. Harpy, however, is bitter about there fight and his advances on her. In Chapter Four, Humphrey is shown to be harboring feelings for Harpy when he changes into an Ogre to save her from falling, kissed her hand, and called her cute during their first winter in Podunkello.

Opal
Opal does not care for Humphrey at all. While she enjoys going to his parties, she does not like him as a person. She finds his grumpiness repelling and his actions towards Harpy inappropriate.
