Lt. Colonel Hodgins/President Hodgins is a very warm, kind and considerate man, who doesn't judge people and gives them the opportunities they deserve. Sometimes cheerful, he is gentle and always tries to speak positively and make his surroundings warm. He is mature and follows his morals, traits he teaches to Violet. He is a former lieutenant-colonel of the army, but quit the military after the war ended and established the CH Postal Company where he serves as its president. He is tasked with watching over Violet, a task given to him by Gilbert. It is stated that the reason Hodgins was named Claudia (which is normally a girl's name) is that his parents thought that he would be born a girl. So even when he was born a boy, he was still named Claudia. Hodgins dislikes his given name and prefers to be called by his last name.
