Here's your info, do enjoy. I spent a while gettin' it together and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out - that this chick has a TINY attention span. xP
Personality: Don't worry he won't eat you RIGHT away, in fact he might not eat you at all.
Aside from being completely batshit crazy - Hannibal does not match any of the descriptions of a serial killer. He’s successful, intelligent, cultured, eloquent - he shows an intense love for knowledge and fine arts, not carnage and dismemberment.
However, like all villains with mental issues, he has his moments of “start running before the pin drops” because the next thing to fall will be you, and some kind of appendage. Hannibal is also rather critical when it comes to arts, he was known to have murdered a terrible flute player to preserve the pure sound of the orchestra he was a part of. The main reason why he attacked the guards, and nurse that were watching him was because they had treated him rudely. He called it a “public service”, ridding the world of the rude, or other wise useless humans in the world.
He won’t eat you right away, in fact it might not even occur to him. If your rude to him, however, your chances of ending up on the main course is very high. He is also a psychiatrist, so picking peoples brains (literally and figuratively) is something he does well, but he is a bit more tactful than most are. He’ll let you get away with a few things, but like anything there is a line that you don’t cross. Only exception is if you cross this line, you will probably not live to see your next birthday, or end up like Mason Verger; paralyzed and ugly.
Hannibal is actually a very polite man, he is very proper and tends to use words like “okie dokie” and “tata” - which are his favorite words. He’s smart enough to know when your screwing with him, and patient enough to see how clever you think you are.
He likes smart people, clever people, the paranoid, the artistic, influential, but don’t stab him in the back because he will do it literally to you. He doesn’t take kindly to that, and while his temper doesn’t flare (like one of my other characters) you know when he’s pissed. It’s a certain glint in his eye, that tells you everything you need to know.
History: Hannibal Lecter VII was born in 1936 and was named after his paternal ancestor Hannibal The Grim. He was born in Lithuania in Lecter Castle where he lived with his mother, father, and baby sister Mischa. In 1944 the Lecter family left their homey castle when German Troops began to advance onto their once happy home. They were to hide out in a cabin in the woods until the initial fighting was over with. Hannibal’s father assured his family and the then 8 year-old Hannibal that all would be well, and that the fighting would remain near the roads. However, as luck would have it, Soviet military find the tiny cabin and the family with their servants and force them out in search of water; they command for the children to remain inside the cabin. The tank the Soviet’s arrived in was then spotted by a German Stuka and a fight breaks out ending with the Soviets brining down the airplane into the tank. During the fight, Hannibal’s father was shot in the back, and the rest of the group died after the explosion leaving Hannibal and his little sister Mischa in the cold, and alone. They aren’t alone for long, sadly, and are soon joined by rebellious SS militiamen and are forced to share what little resources they have with them. Running out of food the SS men resort to cannibalism and the first to go is the ill, and little Mischa - Hannibal’s only surviving family member. As Hannibal grows he is moved into an orphanage - that used to be his home - where he is muted by his experiences (though he doesn’t necessarily remember it at that time), and is bullied by another boy. He was said to have “ignored the human pecking order” by stabbing a bully in the hand with a fork - shortly after being shoved into his former basement he sets up a trap for the same bully he had stabbed and catches his leg in a bear trap.
He escapes to Paris, France, to live with his widowed aunt Lady Murasaki and is trained by her in flower arrangement, martial arts, and ancestor worship. Lecter expressed a talent for drawing, a natural eloquence, and a strong urge to learn - and remember. His first murder was a butcher who insulted Lady Murasaki in the market place - he decapitated him with a katana blade in the woods. Then brought the head home for Lady Murasaki, and all the while had detective investigating the discovery of the headless butcher’s body. Lecter was admitted into medical school, and shortly after this he began his search for the men he is certain murdered his beloved little sister who haunts his dreams. When he hunts down the men, literally, he questions and tortures them - then eats them out of spite. He knew one thing all a long, that the death of his sister was then lead to the consumption of her; however, he never knew that he too ate his sister in the tiny cabin. The last man he murders and eats, he tortures and carves a large M on his chest, then bites off his cheeks while the man is still living. This was also the end of his romantic friendship with Lady Murasaki, who had begun to realize just how monstrous Lecter had become in his search for revenge.
Dr. Hannibal Lecter became a successful psychiatrist and was known for his exquisite taste, yes - yes, I mean that, too. The man can cook. While an amazing doctor, he is also a cannibalistic serial killer who is absolutely spectacular at covering his tracks, up until he meets up with a certain detective named William Graham. But, before I get ahead of myself, let’s tell the stories of the people Hannibal treated.
One was the younger sister of a pedophilic nymphomaniac named Mason Verger. The poor thing had been raped by her brother since she was very young, and while Hannibal treated her for her trauma he, of course like everyone else, hoped for a little more than some time behind bars for Mr. Verger. He got his wish when Verger was captured for molestation on his Christian Camp, and his psychiatrist - the tactful Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Verger didn’t want Hannibal to be afraid of him and didn’t except Hannibal to be the result of his eventual deformity and paralysis. Hannibal managed, with the assistance of some hallucinogenic drugs, to get Verger to carve off his face and feed it to his dog while he was hanging (sexual asphyxiation was one of Verger’s things, he was just smart enough to do it in front of Hanni). A long and creepy story short, (because I still can’t watch that scene without freaking out) Verger became a paraplegic (possible quadra, since throughout the movie he only uses his hand to move his chair around). He gouged out one of his eyes, and carved off a great majority of his face - though he was still capable of telling who it was that left him in such a state.
When the Detective Will Graham was first introduced to Hannibal, after this lovely incident of “watch the pedophile swing”, it was to discuss a murderer who was on the lose. Obviously, the murderer was Hannibal and Graham held his interest long enough until he got a little too close for Hannibal’s preference. Will was actually fast enough to rise back up after being stabbed by Hannibal, to shot and stab Hannibal himself. After Hannibal was placed into incarceration he got into a little trouble with the guards, and a nurse who were placed with him - they survived about three weeks before Hannibal snarled and bit their faces. Only one man lived beyond the rest, a man named Barney who claimed to treat Hannibal civil, and therefore held conversations with the man and didn’t get injured. Will Graham met up with Hannibal once more to find a serial killer nicknamed The Toothfairy, and Hannibal was again given the opportunity to amaze the detective with his ability to tie a knot around his person, and then slowly have him unravel it themselves. The detective came away from his run down with The Toothfairy with a few new bullet wounds and left his job behind him - Hannibal remained in prison, but was still able to send letters to the former detective.
The famous Clairice Starling came to Hannibal to create a profile for a murderer Buffalo Bill (go ahead and say the line, get it out of your system now), but like all of Hannibal’s new friends while she attempted to “dissect” him, it back fired and Hannibal became impatient with her. Before she left he gave her a riddle that lead her to find a man severed head - while Hannibal denied murdering said head in a basket he explained that the head was related to Buffalo Bill. Hannibal then starts his game of “quid pro quo”, something for something, if he told Clairice something then she would tell him something. It was her turn, and she was to tell of her worst childhood experience. Once she finished her tale of her failure at trying to save a lamb in her new homes slaughterhouse, it was that night that Hannibal escapes. In the chaos the psychiatric hospital breaks into chaos as they come into Hannibal’s cell finding two guards - one dead and the other one close to death. As they transferred the still living man into the ambulance a faceless body is found in the elevator, to which the “still living” man peels off his face revealing Lecter. He killed the men in the ambulance, taking the clothes and papers of one and escaping. After Starling graduates, she receives a phone call from Hannibal, assuring her that he will not go after her and that if she would do the same. Of course, she refuses, but before anymore is said Hannibal excuses himself saying that he was meeting an old friend for dinner - to which we find out is Dr. Chilton a less than likeable doctor who was placed in charge of Hannibal Lecter.
Their second meeting, Clairice and Hannibal, was not quite like their first, but close enough. Years after their first meeting Hannibal now lives in Florance Italy under the name Dr. Fell. He even managed to make a new detective friend named Rinaldo Pazzi, who, because he sold Hannibal out to the vengeful Mason Verger, is eviscerated and hung outside of the museum’s top floor. This of course was relating to his ancestor who was hung in a similar fashion, and his bowels from a Judas picture Hannibal found suitable (“Bowels in, or bowels out?” - teehee, how cute xP). At this time Mason Verger had hired a group of hitmen to hunt down Hannibal to feed him to a horde of man eating boars. By this time Clairice is already trying to recover from her own shame after shooting a drug dealer who was holding her baby, and trying to find Hannibal before Mason Verger does. Hannibal knew that Verger wanted to capture him and says to Clairice that “he’s quite twisted” and only wants to see him suffer. In short, Verger dies at the hands of his own man eating pigs after Hannibal coaxes his physician, Cordelle, to throw him into the pen. Hannibal saves a wounded Clairice and brings her back to another detective’s house. He tends to Clairice’s wound and when she comes to, she calls the police then finds Hannibal and a detective she had been working with in the kitchen along with a elegant dinner played out. When Hannibal takes the (drugged and brain dead) detective back into the kitchen to “clean up” after the meal, Clairice attacks him with a silver candlestick. He quickly over powers her and traps her hair in the refrigerator. It is then revealed that Hannibal does indeed have a soft spot for Clairice and even asks her "Would you ever ask me to stop, would you ever say, if you loved me, you'd stop?" - Starling says no. To which he replies with a “That’s my girl” and a kiss - right when he thinks he’s won, there is the soft click of handcuffs. Hannibal makes a decision for the both of them, holding up a butchers knife looking to her and saying “This is really gonna hurt”.
The last scene is showing Starling with both hands, and then Hannibal in an airplane talking to a young boy with his arm in a sling.
