Hugo is Elsa's father who runs an inn in the valley.  He is in financial trouble, and on a journey back from trying to sell his late wife's jewelry to make ends meet, he stumbles into the Beast's castle in the woods.  After taking a rose for Elsa, the Beast nearly kills him but then requests that the first living thing to greet Hugo at home belongs to him.  To his horror, Elsa is the first thing to greet him.  He tries to leave so that he doesn't lose his daughter, but Elsa runs off to the castle herself to make amends.

Hugo tries to find the castle again to rescue Elsa but he is unable to and falls in the river which makes him fall ill.  He is then arrested for failure to pay his debts and put in the stocks.  Elsa, having been released by the Beast because of his love for her, comes to free him and help him recover.

Hugo at first can't understand how Elsa has fallen for the monster he knows, but when he sees that she has actually fallen in love with the Prince, he is overjoyed for them.
