Jude is a disgruntled, passionate young fighter who had done everything he could to make his master proud. From the day of his hatching, Jude was always a very stubborn absol who tried to impress others with his power. He was the first pokemon actually caught by Hildegard's trainer, and his time with the lucario was nothing but constant envy for her strength and prowess in battle.

Jude unfortunately suffered a rather traumatic past that further encouraged him to grow stronger near the point of obsession.
