[Claude sips his tea and listens. He isn't surprised when Dimitri mentions he left Fódlan and the Alliance in his hands, but he can address that in due course. For now--] Hooded guys? Yeah. Them and their demonic beasts were there, if that's what you mean by drastic.
[The kind of experiments they must have done to create those things would have surely involved human lives, probably sacrificing Adrestian citizens by changing them into mindless beasts for the war effort.]
Lysithea recognised them in the Empire's ranks long before we reached Enbarr. They're part of a group who... hurt her when she was younger. Blood experiments. [Long story, and not his to tell when it's something so personal to her, so he moves it along.] We defeated Edelgard in Enbarr, and once it was done, a messenger came with a letter from Hubert.
Those hooded people are part of a group he called "Those Who Slither in the Dark", a secret group pulling the strings behind many of Fódlan's conflicts. It seems Edelgard's cooperation with them was just a front, and Hubert had been investigating how to destroy them in secret the whole time.
