H.G. lives in the basement of the main Detulux HQ building, maintaining servers and living amongst the boilers and pipes. Max presumably keeps him well paid enough and is often pleased to announce that he has "the world's No. 1 hacker, he was the No. 2 hacker but I shot the other guy so he's No. 1 now". H.G. himself has never claimed to be the world's greatest hacker.
When not amusing himself by watching internet videos or playing video games, H.G. acts as mission controller whenever Max and co. leave the base. He provides crucial intel scavenged from the internet (usually from a quick Google search) and arranges for backup or rescue as and when required. H.G. rarely has any interest in leaving the base himself and is quite content to stay out of physical danger.
The only unfortunate part of the job is the expectation that H.G. should provide technical support for the wares that Detulux sell, a massive issue considering that H.G. has never fired a gun in his life and has no interest in learning how to. After realising that "have you tried turning it off and on again" doesn't work with guns, H.G. has mitigated the problem by devising an automated call system so convoluted that anyone who rings it usually gives up within half an hour.
