The Narrator on Humbert

The Narrator will explain Humbert's attitudes. Being a warrior, trained a
warrior, he looks upon treacherous, indirect methods with disdain. As such,
he has a special dislike of thieves, assassins, necromancers, bards and
anti-paladins. The reason is rather simple. All that he has learned, melee
combat, cannot save him against such methods. So it is only natural that
he is angered by foes who employ shadowy methods. While the Narrator in his
greater wisdom knows that all classes use different methods, Humbert
himself scorns any opponent who does not rely on steady, straight-up
fighting. He has further scorn when a shadowy one fights a duel expecting
that such underhanded tactics will win them the fight.

Of course Humbert does not realise that his bias stems from his ability to
outfight most melee types, but his vulnerability to indirect methods. But
that is a Warrior's hubris. His conservative nature will probably allow him
to survive even against those foes.
