Who is Hazel in The Umbrella Academy?

The hitman who wants out and a doughnut · The Commission

Hazel (The hitman who wants out and a doughnut) is a character in The Umbrella Academy, part of The Commission. Hazel is one half of the Commission's field team dispatched to fix the timeline — a job he has performed for decades with a briefcase, a partner named Cha-Cha, and a deepening case of burnout. The assignment hunting Number Five introduces him to two destabilising forces: the suspicion that the timeline isn't worth the bodies, and Agnes, the doughnut-shop owner whose kindness lands on him like a defection offer. Hazel's arc is the show in miniature: a numbered cog discovering he'd rather be a person.
