History
As a member of Ohara's scholarly community, Hack would have been capable of reading the forbidden poneglyphs. The World Government branded the island's researchers as demons bent on destroying the world for studying those stones, and Spandine unleashed a Buster Call upon them. Hack was killed in the resulting devastation, dying within the Tree of Knowledge as it burned while he tried to save as many volumes as he could. In the anime he surfaced only once, during Robin's celebration for passing the archaeology exam, whereas the manga slipped him into a handful of small background panels.
