Original Story
In the original ballet, Hilarion is a forester who is in love with Giselle and is confident at winning her, especially as he is good friends with her mother, Berthe, who considers him a fine match for her daughter. However, Hilarion's chances of winning Giselle are shattered when she falls in love with Count Albrecht, disguised as a peasant.

When seeing Albrecht and Giselle together, Hilarion becomes bitterly jealous and declares his love for Giselle, but she rejects him. However, Hilarion later witnesses a meeting between Albrecht and his squire and breaks into Albrecht's cottage to find some clues about who he really is.

After a while, he finds Albrecht's sword and realises that he is deceiving Giselle and wastes no time in telling her the truth. But the outcome is not what Hilarion hopes for as Giselle goes mad and dies. After her death, Hilarion keeps vigil by Giselle's grave, but one night he encounters the Wilis, who force him into an endless dance and once he has no strength left, they drown him in a nearby lake.
