Humphrey is a slender, scruffy omega wolf. His fur is many different shades of gray. His mane and tail are black, with hints and strands of silver and gray. His underbelly, legs, paws, and face are white. He has a gray bridge that fades into his snout, two slim brows, and a few striped markings on his cheeks. His eyes are an icy blue.
Personality[]
Humphrey is an ideal omega wolf: Good-natured, witty, a good sense of humor, loyal, and kind (as well as a skilled peacekeeper, which is technically his job in the pack as he's the omega leader of the Western pack, presiding over the other omegas, keeping the peace and doing their best to diffuse tension, which seems to be the only responsibility he takes seriously).
Humphrey enjoys making jokes, playing games, hanging out with his friends, and when he sets his mind on something, there's no stopping him. Humphrey seems to be the jealous type, seen when he interferes with Kate and Garth at the Moonlight Howl, and calling Garth "Barf" out of pettiness and envy.
Humphrey is also a skilled improviser and brave as in the first film, he used quick-thinking to save Kate from a mudslide, some well-executed flattery to convince Marcel to help them again, and while he doesn't have the prowess of Kate, he has performed his share of bold and daring feats, even though sometimes his irresponsible nature can be a problem.
Still, Humphrey is a true friend and loyal to all important to him, to his pack, his friends, and especially Kate, which is proven several times through out the movie as when his loyalty overrode his intention to run away from his problems and when he risked his life to protect Kate from the caribou stampede, proving to Winston his love for Kate was true. His loyalty was also proven when, during the train ride while Kate fell asleep, Humphrey might have chosen to not wake her up in time to get off for Jasper and run away with her, but he didn't. In addition, Humphrey is among the most beautiful howlers in the film, which is what helped Kate realized that her heart belonged to Humphrey. Humphrey is sometimes seen walking or standing on his hind legs, even though other wolves at the Moonlight Howl were shown doing this (as well as dancing). Humphrey seems to be a bit claustrophobic as he was hesitant to get into a cramped camper after having been dropped into Idaho in a cage. He also likes music as he danced an air-guitar to some playing on a radio (where he learned how to air-guitar is anyone's guess) in the movie.
In the second film, Humphrey now has pups with his wife Kate, and is now the pups' father.
In the third film, Humphrey seems to be a bit more moody than usual. He gets annoyed easily and is not really wanting to coach the team for the games. He also is seen giving a dirty look to the Northern team's coach, Nars. Along with his moodiness, he is shown to be extremely protective in the end of the film by yelling at Claudette to quit flirting with Fleet.
In the fourth film, we see an entirely new side of Humphrey. He's shown to have the ability to fight, as he takes down two alpha wolves with Kate in the final battle to protect Daria.
In the fifth film, Humphrey's abilities to fight are developed even more, as he's shown attacking the trappers to save his family, almost risking his life. However, he still maintains his Omega status as peacekeeper, and still has his fun-loving side.
Growing up as an omega wolf, Humphrey befriended three other Omegas named Salty, Shakey, and Mooch, and together, the four of them invented logboarding by means of a halved hollow tree. Over time, they mastered this way of fun.
Young Humphrey
Humphrey also befriended Winston's daughter, Kate. Unbeknownst, he is in love with her, which is strictly against pack law: Alphas and Omegas are not allowed to mate. During another of their hill-sledding games, Humphrey caught Kate before she left to attend Alpha School, whereupon Winston reminded Humphrey that a relationship deeper than friendship between him Humphrey and his daughter was prohibited.
By next spring, both he and Kate had matured, and he and his friends had mastered hill-sledding (except for figuring out how to stop). They had discovered that Kate had returned from Alpha School as a trained Alpha, and was on her first hunt. When Humphrey expressed an interest in Kate, his friends reminded him that it could never be.
Adult Humphrey
As they watched Kate, Hutch, and Candu close in on the caribou, they noticed two enemy Eastern Pack wolves, Claws and Scar, interfere with the hunt, resulting in a caribou stampede. The Omegas were impressed and awestruck by Kate's Alpha prowess, as she executed amazing moves to save Claws and Scar from being trampled to death. When the Western alphas (excluding Kate) started a fight with Claws and Scar, Humphrey and the Omegas stepped in to prevent anyone from getting hurt, using their playful and affable natures. Winston appeared, ordering his Alphas to the den, and the Eastern wolves to go home, and complimenting and congratulating the Omegas on their jobs as peacekeepers.
"Oh, c'mon Kate. Howl at the moon with me."
As Kate was about to leave, ashamed of her first hunt ending in failure, Humphrey tried to cheer her up by saying that instead of caribou, the pack could always eat berries. However, Humphrey's jokes didn't seem to impress her, nor help her feel any better . Later, the Omegas tried to brighten up the pack's hungry mood by offering berries (the wolves growled at them.) As a last resort, they offered squirrels instead to make up for it (this was met with wagging tails and drooling tongues).
That night, Humphrey and his friends went to the Moonlight Howl at Howling Rock, where again he was discouraged by his friends in pursuing Kate. Finding out that Kate already had an arranged howling partner named Garth, whom Humphrey teasingly calls "Barf", he began to tease him out of jealousy. Kate later then pushed Humphrey aside in favor of Garth, much to Humphrey's dismay. Later, he noticed Kate had separated from Garth, and Humphrey began to question Kate's choice in him (not knowing that it was arranged). They began to argue, but were stopped short by getting shot by tranquilizers, and promptly passed out shortly after. They were then loaded up by park rangers to be relocated to Idaho.
Kate closing Humphrey's mouth
After being released into the new area, they realize they're not in Jasper Park anymore. Suddenly, rocks fly at them, and they notice a goose, Marcel, and a duck, Paddy, playing an unfamiliar game (golf). As the two make their way over to question them, Paddy flies away out of fear as Marcel whacks Humphrey on the head in an attempt to escape. Kate orders Humphrey to grab Marcel, and the two have a humorous chase around the course. As Marcel and Paddy realize that Kate and Humphrey are not a threat, they reveal that they were relocated to Saw Tooth National Park to repopulate. Kate, frustrated at the situation, demands that they find a way to get back to Jasper, and Marcel and Paddy direct them into the back of an RV owned by a couple headed straight for Jasper. As they sneak past the couple, the couple begins to dance to the music playing from the RV's radio, which makes for a tricky situation. As Kate and Humphrey dodge the couple dancing, it ends up with Humphrey holding Kate bridal style. As the song finished and the couple kiss, Humphrey also tries to playfully kiss Kate, mimicking the couple, but she pushes Humphrey away in irritation.
Much to Humphrey's dismay, the RV is shaped like the crate they were just locked in, but he reluctantly hops in,
As the RV stops at a nearby Gas Station, Humphrey starts pacing around as he hss to urinate. Kate begrudgingly let's Humphrey out of the camper, but Humphrey gets side tracked by the smell of a cupcake. He begins trying to tear open the cup cake, eventually doing so and smearing icing all over his mouth. Two gas station employees appear, and mistake him for a rabid wolf. One of the employees brings out a gun, aiming it right at Humphrey, as the RV begins to leave. Kate makes the decision to leave behind the RV and her chance at getting home to save Humphrey, leaping out of the RV knocking the gun out of the employees hands. The two escape into the woods, lost again.
As Humphrey profusely apologizes to Kate for his immaturity, Kate angrily ignores him, declaring that she's going home, Humphrey tries stopping her by doing a "rain dance", which only makes Kate even more unamused, and she leaves Humphrey behind in the rain.
When Humphrey catches up to her, he finds her hanging for dear life onto a ridge above a mudslide she tried to cross, and she's slipping. Thinking quickly, Humphrey swings on a vine (and humorously does a Tarzan yell) and tells her to grab his tail (which turns out to be very painful) before he swings her to safety. Kate loses sight of Humphrey and sees a mound of mud, thinking that he fell in, and tries to pull "Humphrey" out and thinks that she accidentally ripped off his tail until he appears for real. All Kate pulled out was a stick from a mudball. Then Humphrey suggests they find shelter for the night and Kate thanks him for saving her life.
In the morning, the two wolves are woken up by Marcel and Paddy, finding them in a lair, and they wake up with their noses touching (or kissing, depending on how the viewers look at it). Marcel berates them for losing the transportation that he and Paddy provided, but Humphrey's quick tongue and flattery helps them get another hope to go back to Jasper. Marcel and Paddy direct them to the Canadian Express, which will pass by soon on the other side of the mountain near them. Humphrey and Kate race up the mountain while also playing in the snow, where Humphrey notes to Kate that she's having fun for once. She goes ahead to look for the train and Humphrey meets a bear cub and starts playing with her. Humphrey then throws a snowball at the cub, accidentally making her cry, and Humphrey tries to comfort her and apologizes. This angers the cub's mother, who thought that Humphrey was trying to hurt her baby. Humphrey runs to Kate, who is sure that they can handle the bear, but her confidence is short-lived when two more bears appear. Humphrey tries to use a joke to placate the bears while Kate tries her Alpha training; neither work and they're forced out onto a log hanging by its roots from the top of the mountain. The bears then snap the log, making Humphrey, Kate, the log, and the bear fall down the mountain and down a steep hill of snow. Using his hill-sledding skills, Humphrey saves Kate (again) from the bear and they barely make it onto the train.
Humphrey waiting for Kate to howl with him
Humphrey and Kate laugh about the whole experience, noting the particulars and Humphrey brings up that they make a pretty good team, and Kate agrees. As the train is going along, they notice the full moon, and Humphrey, caught up in the moment, starts howling and convinces Kate to join him. Hearing his howl, how beautiful it is, deep down, Kate realizes she loves him, that this is who she belongs with, and starts howling with him, the two of them howling a soulful duet.
They soon fall asleep, but Humphrey is woken up by Marcel and Paddy, who are both flying alongside the train to let them know that they're just about to enter Jasper Park, and they call Kate Humphrey's girlfriend, which invokes Humphrey's feelings for her, especially when he sees how beautiful she is as she sleeps. Marcel and Paddy leave (not that they had a choice as they crashed into a billboard) and Humphrey wakes up Kate to let her know that they have arrived. They both try to say something, but Humphrey lets Kate go first, and she admits the past few days with Humphrey have been fun and a real adventure for her. Humphrey nervously tries to admit that he loves her, but Kate notices the Western and Eastern packs on the verge of war and runs over to prevent it before Humphrey gets the chance. The duo stop the fight before it begins and explain that they were taken to Idaho to repopulate, provoking Eve to jump to conclusions (as usual) and start to strangle Humphrey. Luckily, Kate convinces her mom that they didn't repopulate and Humphrey helped her back, and Eve immediately stops choking Humphrey, helps him up, and calls him a nice boy with her sweet persona. Then Kate announces that she accepts marriage to Garth, as was intended from the start, to unite the packs. This leaves Humphrey shocked and heartbroken. He had expected her to love him.
Humphrey heartbroken that Kate is going to marry Garth
In the morning, before the wedding is about to begin, Marcel and Paddy arrive to see that Kate made it home and congratulate her on getting married (even though their faces express some awkwardness because they thought Kate was with Humphrey). Kate asks them who told them, and Humphrey appears, saying that he did, and Marcel and Paddy take off to give Humphrey and Kate some privacy. Humphrey places the flower Kate wore earlier in the film into her hair for her wedding (or one like it) and says that he has come to say goodbye. Kate asks where he's going, and Humphrey says that he is going to do some traveling, see where the train takes him, saying that it's a lone wolf thing. Kate says that she knows Humphrey the fun-loving omega, not Humphrey the lone wolf. He replies that he'll just be a fun-loving lone wolf and leaves. But the real reason Humphrey leaves is because he can't stay in a pack where the wolf he loves is married to someone else.
Marcel and Paddy directs Humphrey to another train. But at the last second, Humphrey realizes that he can't run away from his problems and feelings, and decides to go back to Kate. He runs into Kate and finds out that Winston and Tony are caught up in a stampede of caribou. Using a log, they ride down to save the two alpha leaders by providing the log as a shelter from the caribou, but Kate is knocked out, and Humphrey shields her body with his own while Winston and Tony growl and snarl at the approaching caribou to divert their course. But it seems that it's too late as Kate is apparently trampled to death. Heartbroken that he never got the chance to tell her he loved her, Humphrey begins to cry, and leads both packs in howling a requiem for Kate, but to their relief, Kate begins to wake up. Then the duo admits that they love each other (whispering in each other's ears). Seeing this (and that Humphrey had bravely protected his daughter), Winston convinces Tony to unite the packs under a marriage between his other daughter Lilly and Garth (as the two fell in love with each other during Kate and Humphrey's absence), effectively abolishing the rule of social class.
Kate and Humphrey howling together.
With the packs united as one, the wolves celebrate at Howling Rock, the marriages of Garth and Lilly and Humphrey and Kate, the latter couple howling a duet at the summit of the mountain, leading to a happily ever after. In the deleted scene he is shown to be a playful adult wolf. He is trying to convince his wife, Kate, to howl with him, but she refuses. When he starts howling by himself, he looses his balance causing him to fall off the log he was standing on.
They have a son named Runt, a son named Stinky and a daughter named Claudette.
In their parents old den, Humphrey is helping Kate to get the den in order for the holiday. When Salty arrives asking him on how's life with Kate and says its "efficient". Humphrey goes with Salty to collect some moss, berries, and flower reefs. Humphrey greets his in-laws after a while a word that Runt has been kidnapped.
Humphrey at first tries to stop the pups from going into the forest on request of Kate, but when he and Kate find out that Runt is trying to help Daria, he supports his son and the blind female wolf and helps them get to Rabbit-Poo Mountain. During the final fight, he shows his more violent side, knocking over an alpha wolf to protect Daria and his family.
Humphrey and Kate are out searching for food. They are suddenly trapped in a large snowstorm. They take shelter in a nearby cave to wait out the storm. Humphrey surprises Kate with blueberries, but she realizes that bear eat them and now realize they're in a bear cave. They hide from the bears. They attempt to sneak pass the bears but just as Humphrey makes it over he ends up getting cuddled by one of the bears.
When they were young, Kate told Humphrey she is going Alpha school and Humphrey was totally shocked. When Kate came back, he commented on her alpha moves. When they were on the train, Humphrey started to howl. He asked Kate to join in and eventually Kate finally howled with him on the train. When Humphrey said he was leaving Jasper and Kate said "I know a fun-loving Omega". At the wedding, Kate said, "I can't. I fell love with an Omega." Then when Kate got hit by caribou, Humphrey jumped to save her. When he thought Kate died, he howled mournfully. But when Kate woke up, she whispered to Humphrey how she feels and so did Humphrey.
Stinky is Humphrey's eldest son and Kate has a good father-son relationship. Humphrey cares for and loves him like Claudette and Runt. After Humphrey and Kate teach and train him to be a great omega.
Runt is Humphrey's third son and Kate Humphrey cherishes him like her other 2 brothers. An example of fatherly love would be when Humphrey, Kate and other members of the pack helped rescue him. In the end, they managed to rescue him, Humphrey and Kate were very happy.
Humphrey and Winston at first get along so well that Winston is happy with Humphrey's job of calming down the fights (in the hunts they had problems because of the eastern wolves because they invaded their territory making it more difficult to hunt) but also reminding him of his job. in directing the omegas and maturing their character. When Kate returned to Jasper it seems that Winston did not let himself be overcome by anger (Humphrey explained the reason for taking them both was to disapprove him by making his wife strangle him but Winston did not do it, showing trust in Humphrey) in the end Winston discovers that his daughter Kate is in love with an omega (referring to Humphrey even without mentioning him). Later, Winston agreed to Humphrey's relationship with Kate, believing that Humphrey can lead the pack well.
Even retired, Winston helps Humphrey with some of the pack's problems.
Eve and Humphrey don't interact much. The first interaction was Humphrey with Kate. They returned from Aidaho. Humphrey explains that they were taken to repopulate right there. Eve gets angry and tries to strangle Humphrey (believing that he took advantage of her daughter when they arrived in Idaho). Kate explained to her. Mom, nothing disrespectful happened to Humphrey (I mean Humphrey didn't take advantage of Kate) then Eve lets him go and congratulates him for helping bring her daughter. Later, in the end, Eve and Winston support Humphrey and Kate's relationship.
At first Humphrey was jealous of Garth because Kate and Garth were dating Humphrey tries to try to be better than Garth but his attempts fail. Then when he comes back Humphrey is sad because Garth and Kate are getting married yet he doesn't have any kind of resentful feelings towards Garth. Garth or trying to avoid the wedding but then discovers that they didn't get married there Humphrey and Garth get along much better as brothers-in-law supporting each other as a family.
Lilly is one of the characters who does not interact with Humphrey, but at first they get along well. Afterwards, they become siblings-in-law. Lilly helps Humphrey and Kate with anything.
Marcel met Humphrey with Kate when they were taken to Idaho believing they were going to eat him but not only did they want to ask them "how to get back home" Marcel with Paddy accepts why is their home Jasper and they are travelers remembering weren't they long ago? Marcel There are 2 ways to get back: the first is to go in a van as a couple who go to Jasper once a year (but it didn't work out, Humphrey went down to pee but then Kate had to get out to save him, then the two of them ran away) the second was to go on a train. who goes to Jasper in the afternoon on the other side of the mountain, they both manage to get on Marcel and Paddy, they believe that Humphrey are a couple and try to make them closer but they deny it. Then Marcel and Paddy visit Humphrey and Kate also takes care of their children.
They met when Humphrey and Kate were taken to Jasper. Paddy gets scared when he sees them. He thought he was going to eat them, but it didn't happen. They just wanted to ask them “where are they” and “how to get home.” Paddy and Marcel agreed because it's been a while since They are not going to Jasper (they are travelers, they did not visit Jasper a long time ago) telling them how to get there. The first one was in a couple's van, which failed. Then the next one was on a train, which they boarded on time. Paddy and Marcel thought they were a couple, which they deny.
Afterwards Paddy and Marcel take Humphrey to a train that will take him to travel (because Humphrey wanted to travel the world trying to forget Kate which changes his mind) thanking them for their help. Later, Paddy and Marcel visit Humphrey with Kate to see them also taking care of their children.
'Ow! Again with the butt, these mosquitoes are out of control!'
'Time to ride the slide, and taste the wind!'
'Take those Alpha jaws, and grab my- Oh! My tail, my tail!'
'A simple "boo" would have sufficed.'
'Omega one, Alpha zero!'
'These packages are wolf proof!'
'Now that's a moon I don't wanna howl to!'
'Two bears are eating a clown, and one of the bears says, "Does this taste funny to you?"'
'Oh, I'm sorry, the moon, the moments, I just thought... Oh c'mon, Kate! Howl at the moon with me.'
'Lower the boom!'
Trivia[]
At the end of the first film, it is unknown if Humphrey and Kate are the new leaders of the pack, although there are indications:
At the beginning of the film, Winston clearly stated that Kate was his heir for leadership of the pack; this said that by marrying Kate, Humphrey also becomes a future leader of the pack.
Winston and Tony are implied to have retired from leadership when Winston asked him, "What do two old wolves do after they retire?".
In the sneak peek of Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday Adventure, Humphrey and Kate are seen living in what used to be Winston's and Eve's den, giving the impression that they are the leaders now. Also, Stinky states that he is the future leader of the pack, which would only be possible if they were the leaders.
But this could also be questioned, seeing how Stinky addresses Winston as "great leader" early in the fourth film.
While in Alpha and Omega 5: Family Vacation, Humphrey tells the pups about his embarrassing encounter with a moose of Marcel flew him into the moose's butt and was farted on much to his shock and embarrassment for which he had to go to counciling.
Humphrey para glides into the moose's butt while the moose farts on him.
Humphrey screams as if the moose is about to poop on him.
In the first film Humphrey's encounter with a moose happens in three different scenarios with first in the trailer Humphrey flies into the moose and gets his head has clattered face-first into its bottom, possibly getting its head lodged in the moose's butt in the process. The second he was wedged between the moose's antlers as seen in the film and the third was him paragliding into and literally hugging the moose's butt while being farted on. He screams as the moose lifts his tail as if he was going to poop on him. This was not seen in the first film due to a different script.
Humphrey finds out that he is ticklish when Kate tickles his nose with her tail while rescuing her.
It appears that in Alpha and Omega 2, Humphrey matures by not wanting to hang on a vine to get across the stream, and when Kate wanted to log sled to the Eat Food, Get Gas station.
Due to their similar appearances, people on the Internet mistook Winston to be Humphrey's father before the original movie was released when Winston is actually the father of Kate. Although, by the end of the film, Humphrey becomes Winston's son-in-law, and they seem to have a good relationship.
Humphrey's name in Teutonic means "Support Peace," which suits him for his role as a peace keeper. However, he's been a jerk to Garth because of being jealous to marry Kate.
It's possible he might be an orphaned pup due to the status of his parents being unknown since they have never been mentioned, assuming that they are probably dead.
Humphrey saved Kate three times:
He saved her from falling into a landslide.
He saved her from the bear when they fell from the mountain.
He protected her from being hit again by the Caribou.
