Higbert is a Caineron Highborn: Higron's son, Caldane's grandson. He is a randon cadet at Tentir. He's friends with Fash and Vant. During their autumn at Tentir, Fash and Higbert threw Drie into the Silver. Higbert had own ten-command until the autumn cull, when it was taken apart. He and his old Five, his cousin Tigger, were put in their uncle Gorbel's ten-command. Later that year, Higbert and Fash try to get Bear killed. Near the end of Honor's Paradox, he takes part in Gorbel's challenging Jame, along with Fash and Obidin.
