Catboy Hannibal Lecter

Hannibal is a psychiatrist who works with Special Agent Will Graham to track down serial killers. Unknown to his colleagues, Hannibal is a cannibalistic serial killer known as the Chesapeake Ripper, who works behind Graham's back to further his own crimes. However, he sometimes uses them for other purposes such as committing two murders as a 'copycat' of the crimes of Garret Jacob Hobbs to present Graham with a clearer picture of the true killer's motives.

He despises banality and has an acute love of fine arts, food, literature, and music. He is depicted as a man of taste and details, and a nearly-obsessive perfectionist. He takes an instant dislike to "rude" people, such as Freddy Lounds. Hannibal is very particular about what he eats, most of his meals are self-prepared. He claimed once that he does not believe in cruelty to animals and only purchases meat from ethical butchers, although this may have just been an abstruse joke about his true appetite. While talking with Abel Gideon, Hannibal noted that he did not consider himself a 'cannibal' as that implied eating one's equals, reflecting his usual standards of only eating those he considers inferior in some regard while leaving those he respects relatively alone.

In this iteration of the good doctor, he is a cat hybrid (a man with cat ears and a tail). His ears and tail are that of a dusty gold tabby. He's fussy, a little egotistical and narcissistic, but he is always polite. He doesn't like it when people touch his ears and tail because of their high sensitivity. He goes into a monthly heat that lasts about a week, where he becomes irritable and moody, yet touchy, needy and horny, but he keeps that aspect of himself a secret the best he can, blatantly and flatly refusing to talk about it. He also refuses to bottom, despite that being the only relief that he could get for his heat.
