Hannibal Lecter

ORIGIN: Born in 1938 in Lithuania. His father was a nobleman, and his mother came from an Italian family, the Viscontis. During World War II, he and his beloved younger sister, Mischa, were orphaned after a Nazi bombing raid and later captured by deserters who murdered and ate Mischa. This is what is known of his childhood, which undoubtedly laid the foundation for his cannibalistic tendencies. He became a medical doctor specializing in psychiatry and settled in the United States, where he began his killing spree.

DESCRIPTION: A fair-skinned adult with straight gray hair and blue eyes. He possesses a cultured, educated, cynical, and manipulative personality. He is a lover of art, classical music, and fine cuisine, as well as a profound connoisseur of the human soul who often anticipates the thoughts of his interlocutor.

WEAPONS: Teeth and cunning.
