Overview
Like otherZoidians, Hiltz's past remains a mystery, and owns an Organoid, Ambient. His first appearance is in the first episode of Guardian Force as a wanderer in Van's village; however, he is shown to be behind the attack on Van's village. Afterwards, it becomes apparent that Hiltz is the main cause of all of the problems the Guardian Force is faced with, as he controls a huge organization with hundreds, if not thousands, of mercenaries and henchmen. He also has vast resources and legions of Zoids at his command. He works secretly behind the scenes throughout most of the series uncovering secrets to the Ancient Zoidians' past. He then revives the Death Stinger and uses it to destroy New Helic City and many other cities and villages across Zi. His main plan is revealed to have the Ancient Zoidians return to power on Planet Zi, even if he is one of the only three left, or that the entire human race is to be wiped out. He uses the new Death Saurer to help him with this mass genocide. He is finally defeated, and killed, by Van in the final episode, after Van's Blade Liger penetrates the core of the Death Saurer.
Personality
Hiltz is shown to be cunning and manipulative. He also has a cool personality, and will usually build upon his defeats and outwit his opponents. Hiltz is almost never caught off-guard, often deliberately playing into his enemies' hands just to show how futile their attempts at stopping him are. A prime example of this is when the Death Stinger is shot down from the stratosphere. After surviving the tremendous fall, he proceeded to swim through molten lava, emphasising the power his Zoid possessed.
Ability as a Zoid Pilot

Throughout most of the series, Hiltz is never seen piloting a Zoid, mostly allowing his henchmen or Reese to do the fighting for him. Like most villains in Zoids, he is shown to pilot very large and powerful Zoids, and he turns out to be one of the most formidable pilots in the series. The Zoids of his choice are the Death Saurer and Death Stinger.
Relationships
Like any character in Zoids, Hiltz does have his own relationships, but mostly given his "villain" like nature, has few, if any, close to him:
Ambient: Ambient can be considered Hiltz's consistent ally, as the two are normally seen around each other. It is unknown if Ambient stays around Hiltz because he is friends with him, or if he is forced to. Whatever the case Ambient does see Hiltz as his master, and is willing to obey Hiltz without question.
Reese: Hiltz and Reese have been seen socializing from time to time. Reese is one of his most powerful allies. However as with the rest of his minions, Hiltz only sees her as someone he can dispose of when she is no longer needed, despite the fact that she's also an Ancient Zoidian.
Raven: Hiltz essentially only used Raven for his strength. He kept him alive so that the Death Saurer could absorb him, enhancing its own powers. But he has no real concern for Raven's life, and was responsible for killing Shadow, as Raven was caught in the crossfire of the Death Stinger's Charged Particle Cannon. Incidentally, it is revealed in flashback that Hiltz, through Ambient, was the one who killed Raven's parents.
