As a member of the Knights of Favonius, his responsibilities includes conducting safety patrols and restocking and dispensing medication together with Swan.[6] He has previously interacted with Alice, Klee's mother, before she left Mondstadt and scolded both of them for causing trouble.
Aside from being a knight, Huffman is also a member of Barbara Fan Club and has received an autograph from Barbara because of his professional personality compared to other fans.

- Huffman: Thank you for your concern. Me and my outstanding colleagues are protecting our beloved people, as usual.
- Tell me about Mondstadt.
- Huffman: It's a city adored by its archon and its people, which is the reason for the Knights of Favonius' existence.

- (New option after normal introduction dialogue)
- About Mika...
- (After completing Sounds From Afar)
- Huffman: Oh? You've already met my brother? Then I don't think there's much to say.
- Huffman: I was so worried about him when he went out with the Grand Master. But now it seems I was too worried.
- Huffman: Although he is still prone to shyness, his ability to survey and do mapping has improved a lot, and his work is done in short order.
