Bio

 * Infiltrating the Airship: The man in charge of the undercover Toppat raid. It was his idea to recruit Henry.
 * Completing the Mission: The results of the Airship raid seem to have lead to a large promotion. He's now a specialist in dealing with the Toppats.

Roles
General Hubert Galeforce appears as the tritagonist/antagonist in Infiltrating the Airship,  and the tetartagonist/main antagonist in Completing the Mission.

In Infiltrating the Airship, he appears as the tritagonist of Government Supported Private Investigator, the deuteragonist of Relentless Bounty Hunter and Lightning Quick Larcenist, the tertiary antagonist of Pure Blooded Thief and the main antagonist of Rapidly Promoted Executive.

In Completing the Mission, he appears as the tritagonist of Special BROvert Ops, Valiant Hero, the tetartagonist of Master Bounty Hunter, Triple Threat, and Pardoned Pals, and the main antagonist of Toppat 4 Life and additionally playing a role as the unseen overarching antagonist of the Toppat Recruits and Toppat King paths.

Appearance
Galeforce has tight eyes and grey long mustache, with a spiky grey beard. He has green shoes. He wears a dark green military cap.

Judging at the color of his beard, he's been on active duty for a long time and he still fights on the front lines, as shown in the "Pure Blooded Thief" storyline in Airship and the "Toppat 4 Life" route of Mission.

Personality
Galeforce is a loyal member of the Government with a hatred of the Toppat Clan.

If Henry does exactly as he instructed and either attains evidence for the Toppats' crimes or captures the leader of the Toppat Clan, he keeps his word and erases Henry's criminal record, no strings attached. Not to mention that he does not explicitly open fire on Henry or try to turn against him unless Henry turns against them first.

Even if Henry goes off the rails and decides to steal a huge ruby from the Toppat Clan over the mission, Captain Galeforce ultimately allows him to go, as Henry in the course of this act grounds the Toppat Clan's airship and inadvertently gives the government the best chance they'll ever have of catching most if not all of the Toppat Clan and seizing the records through force. By comparison, one thief is a small fry and not worth wasting time on.

His reasonable nature is further demonstrated in  Completing the Mission's'' Pardoned Pals ending. Despite Henry's past conduct, Galeforce still grants him and Ellie pardons as a reward for helping to take down the Toppat Clan. Even in the Special BROvert Ops ending of Mission, he promises that, despite Henry not owing the government anything at the moment, he'll receive a really big favor for helping them out. In a roundabout way, he sticks to his word, as when the job is done, he immediately promotes Charles and Henry into special covert ops agents. When Charles questions the fact that Henry isn't enlisted, Galeforce says that he now is, which gives off the impression that Henry doesn't have a choice, until he follows up with, "unless he doesn't want it." He does bargain with Henry by saying that if he takes up the promotion, he'll run loads more missions with Charles, but through technicality, Galeforce did stick to his word of owing Henry a favor by giving him the option to accept the promotion right after elaborating upon it.

Infiltrating the Airship
Galeforce, who was involved in government operations against the Toppat Clan, ordered Henry's capture. He plans to utilize the criminal's prowess to achieve objectives. He then wakes Henry in Charles' helicopter and briefs him on the mission, offering to pardon him of all crimes if he complies.

Relentless Bounty Hunter
In the Relentless Bounty Hunter ending, Galeforce greets Henry along with the rest in the chopper after the tank lands. Seemingly pleased by the result, the government forces seize Reginald and withdraw after Charles hands Henry the pardon.

Pure Blooded Thief
Galeforce and Charles both note the alarm in the airship and presumed that Henry has gone rogue. In response, Galeforce calls in reinforcements and commences an attack on the airship, which crashes after Henry cripples a rotor. After the airship crashes, Galeforce leads his team in a brief skirmish with the Toppats, during which Reginald and his Right Hand Man escape. Charles intercepts Henry as he is fleeing with the ruby. However, with the Toppat Clan suffering heavy casualties and their airship wrecked, Galeforce ultimately deems Henry not worth the trouble and orders Charles to withdraw.

Rapidly Promoted Executive
Galeforce and Charles are deceived by the dummies. Initially assuming that Henry had a backup plan, they were surprised to discover his betrayal and Galeforce, shattered by this outcome, yells at the airship in rage.

Lightning Quick Larcenist
Henry finds a safe, and Galeforce believes that Henry has succeeded. However, upon discovering a mere Teddy Bear in the vault, he facepalms in disappointment.

Completing the Mission
After the events of Airship, Galeforce has been promoted to a General ranking and has become a specialist when it comes to dealing with the Toppat Clan. General sets up a Government Military Base where he and his subordinates camp in preparation for the upcoming attack on the Toppats which he refers to as The Toppat Raid. Galeforce appears in multiple pathways of the game. Depending on which endings the player chooses as a starting point, he can be an ally or an enemy of Henry.


 * Toppat Recruits/Pardoned Pals: He and his army attack the Toppat Launch Site in The Toppat Raid, with Henry, Ellie Rose and the staff from The Wall getting caught up in the chaos. Ellie and Henry can help the Toppats launch their station, or help the army stop it. In the case of the latter, Galeforce pardons them both from their past crimes.
 * Valiant Hero: When Henry returns to earth, he finds Galeforce and Paul Ascott near the tent. The general is delighted to learn the destruction of the station, though also confused at Henry's depression, not knowing that Charles has been killed in action.
 * Triple Threat: Though not seen, Charles mentions that Galeforce sanctioned him to retrieve Henry and Ellie in return for helping them to disrupt the rocket launch. He also has all government presence withdrawn, intending the trio to safely execute the mission.
 * Toppat 4 Life: Henry finds out about the upcoming attack on the launch site, and sabotages Big Boy for it to demolish the camp. When the CCC also intervenes, Galeforce decides to withdraw all forces and cut their losses.
 * Special BROvert Ops: After escaping with Charles, the two meet Galeforce, who briefs them on the mission, and offers Henry a reward for his assistance. He has also removed all government forces from the site for the purpose. When the two successfully accomplish their objective, Galeforce commends them and enlists Henry with a promotion, who later embarks on more missions as Charles' partner.
 * Master Bounty Hunter: As Charles' and Henry return from their bust-out at The Wall, Galeforce requests Henry's assistance again and has Charles fly him to the other three bounty hunters. Galeforce wants the squad to capture or neutralize the Right Hand Man while the government forces handle the rest, and also reiterates his brief to John Pilksin through the Government Comms Device. After Henry has secured the RHM and fled with Charles, Galeforce commends him, citing that the operation was successful with most Toppats arrested and the rest splitting into harmless groups.

Infiltrating the Airship

 * "Well, well... Look who finally decided to wake up. You've been quite elusive, but your skills make you worth the catch. You'll be perfect for the job. We've been having some issues with a group of thieves known as the Toppat Clan. We know they're guilty, we just can't pin them to any crimes. You will be going into their airship to bring them down. I don't need to remind you that we've got you on several charges: attempted robbery, breaking yourself out of prison, and even stealing the Tunisian Diamond. We've got quite a lot of counts on you. Do this job right, and we'll drop all charges against you. Charlie here will be bringing you close to the airship. The rest is up to you. Find a way to bring them down, and you'll be a free man." - Galeforce introducing Henry to the Toppat Clan and introducing Charles Calvin during the Infiltrating the Airship intro.

Pure Blooded Thief

 * "What's going on?"
 * "What? He's gone rogue?! Alright, move to plan B, call in reinforcements and move in."
 * "Let him go."
 * "We got what we came for. He's not worth the trouble."

Rapidly Promoted Executive/Relentless Bounty Hunter

 * "Great work, Henry! Now just get him to us and you'll get your life back!"
 * "He's firing on us! Now we can take them down! Return fire!" (Fail)

Rapidly Promoted Executive

 * "I'm sure Henry had a plan."
 * "What is that..."
 * "HENRY!!!!"

Valiant Hero

 * "Excellent news! What's wrong?" - General G. to Henry, who's sad about Charles' death

Special BROvert Ops

 * "Ah, perfect timing, boys! Been waiting for you two to get here. Lemme just get right to it. We've been discovered that the remainders of the Toppat Clan have been seen building some kind of rocket. They've been gathering their remaining numbers and supplies here in the jungle. If they're able to get this station into orbit, they'll be impossible for us to take down. Now, I know you don't owe us anything, Henry, but we could really use your help on this one. Help us out with this one and you'd be- we'd be owing you a big, big old favor. Now, you and Charlie have worked well together in the past, so we figured you'd be the perfect men for this operation."
 * "Now we're really putting all our potatoes in one sack on this one. So don't let us down, boys."
 * "Fine work indeed boys, you two really do make a fine team. I'm promoting you both into special covert ops agents."
 * "Well, he is now. Unless he doesn't want it... You'll be running a lot more missions together with Charlie."

Pardoned Pals

 * "Henry!? Well, and if it isn't Ellie too. We've had you on our watch list for a while. Thanks for your help here today. I didn't think we could trust you after last time. Eh, I guess we owe you one."
 * "Yeah, I figured that was coming. I suppose you've earned a pardon."

Toppat 4 Life

 * "I have no idea, but there's no way we can do the mission now!"
 * "This is the general. I'm calling in a full retreat. I repeat, the mission is a no go."
 * "Repeat, Toppat raid has been aborted! Fall back!"

Master Bounty Hunter

 * "Henry. Glad to see you made it safely. Let me introduce you to your squad. First off is John Pilksin. He's been doing this for 30 years and he excels at stealth. He'll be your go-to man for anything involving stealth. He'll be going by the codename... "Frog". Next up is Gordon Banks. He's a master when it comes to electronics. He knows his way around any interface and he'll be very helpful when it comes to hacking. He'll be going by the codename "Eel." Lastly, we have Amelia Esteban. Demolitions expert. She's known to tackle problems head on and will blow a hole in any problem. Her codename... "Turtle"."
 * "Ah, Frog. I'll run through the briefing again. We've recently learned of the Toppat Clan's plan to launch a space station intro orbit around the Earth. If they're able to get the orbital station operational, they'll become unstoppable. They'll be able to attack anyplace around the world easily, with no way for anyone to counterattack."
 * "Unfortunately, no. Only their leader was captured. They're now being lead by the previous Right Hand Man."
 * "Seems someone's fixed him up, and given him cybernetic enhancements to boot. He'll be quite a handful to deal with."
 * "Well... It is what you do best. Your mission is to capture or eliminate the Right Hand Man. We'll be launching an all-out-assault on the compound at the same time. Our focus being on preventing the rocket from launching."
 * "That's why we're sending all you. Good luck out there... Henry."
 * "Excellent job, Henry. Thanks to your capture, the Toppats panicked. And we were able to prevent the rocket from launching. A few members escaped. But they're all in small groups now. They won't be causing us any significant problems."

Trivia

 * He and Ellie are the only two main characters who only die in fails.
 * His first name "Hubert" is not even mentioned in his Bio or in-game. It's only revealed during the opening credits to the "Master Bounty Hunter" path.
 * Even if Henry fails to take down the Toppat Clan (In PBT or RPE), he will still be promoted to the rank of General.
 * His role in the Codec Call of "Master Bounty Hunter" route is a reference to Colonel Roy Campbell from Metal Gear Solid.
 * Galeforce is one of the most important main characters, as he had Henry captured for government purposes, hence prompting the events of ItA and any consequences.
 * He is also the reason Henry and Charles meet each other with Charles becoming the deuteragonist of the series and having a major impact on the plot in most routes. Charles' relationship with Henry is because of Galeforce, which can also lead to the International Rescue Operative ending from Fleeing the Complex with Charles helping Henry out because of his affiliation to the Government which would create 2 different paths (SBO and MBH) in the following game (CtM).
 * Galeforce is the only character to refer to Charles as Charlie, with the latter being a beta alias of Charles that was not corrected in the final version and eventually kept in future works.
 * Galeforce is a reference of Marcie, one of the characters in The Peanuts Movie. However, they are the opposite since he called Charles "Charlie" and Marcie called Charlie Brown "Charles".
