Original Story[]
In the original ballet, Hilarion is a forester who is in love with Giselle and is confident that he ill get her to love him, especially since 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 Duke 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 realizes that he is deceiving Giselle and wastes no time in telling her the truth. But the outcome is not what Hilarion hopes for because 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.

Hilarion shows up when Prince Albrecht asks for Giselle's hand in marriage, saying Albrecht is a prince acting as a page to trick Giselle. He then fights with Albrecht about who deserves Giselle. Hilarion is a skilled marksman whose hunting skills prove to be very useful and much better than Albrecht's skills of flipping a coin to make his decisions. Hilarion, along with Albrecht, work together to aid Kristyn Farraday (as Giselle) to the Snow Queen's palace to save Hailey. In this movie, Hilarion doesn't die. His story was changed, because Kristyn didn't die as Giselle in the original did. He and Albrecht become friends and decide to unite to help Kristyn.
