Hannibal RPG

Will Graham Age:38 Occupation(s): Special Agent,Criminal Profiler,Teacher Nationality:American Relationships Hannibal Lecter (Psychiatrist, Best Friend, Lover) Jack Crawford (Boss) Abigail Hobbs (Adopted Daughter, Deceased) Freddie Lounds (Enemy) Bedelia Du Maurier (Psychiatrist/Enemy) Unborn Child (deceased; with Margot) Molly (Ex-Wife) Walter (Stepson, with Molly) Will has a unique psychological ability that he refers to as "interpreting the evidence". In reality, he is able to assume the state of mind a murderer has after visiting the crime scene and recreates the thinking (as well as the actions) with himself as the killer in order to understand more about them. Hannibal Lecter describes his ability as "pure empathy". Despite suffering from Anti-NMDA encephalitis, Will eventually realized that Hannibal is the Chesapeake Ripper. Will had spent some time in the Baltimore State Hospital For The Criminally Insane after being framed as the "Copycat Killer", a serial killer responsible for the deaths of four individuals resembling the work of other killers. In reality, these acts were committed by the Chesapeake Ripper who later laid claim to these murders which set Will free. With Frederick Chilton currently considered the Chesapeake Ripper by the FBI, Will remains unswayed from his certainty that the killer is, in fact, Hannibal Lecter. He's currently playing his own game with Hannibal, resuming his "therapy" and seemingly befriending the man he's been at odds with since his own manipulation. However, Will quickly becomes lost in the game and more and more, he sides with Hannibal. Will kills Randall Tier, sent to him by Hannibal, with his bare hands, inspired by his and Hannibal's conversation about guns lacking intimacy. However, Will lies to Hannibal by faking the death of Freddie Lounds in an effort to further gain his friendship and trust. Will even stores and brings parts of Randall Tier to Hannibal and consumes them with him, claiming that it was actually parts of Freddie Lounds. Hannibal only realized the ruse because his heightened sense of smell helped him realize that Freddie Lounds was not, in fact, dead. Will chooses to warn Hannibal about the danger in the end, but it is too late, and Hannibal's response to Will's betrayal left Will himself, Abigail Hobbs, Alana Bloom, and Jack Crawford barely clinging to life in the Season 2 finale, "Mizumono." Will is a former homicide detective who lost his job due to not being able to use his gun when necessary. Therefore, he teaches at the FBI college. He has no recollection of his mother, who left his life when he was very young. Personality: Will is a deeply complex man. He describes himself as being on the autism spectrum, due to his social difficulties and lack of eye contact - however, it is contrasted by his sociopathic tendencies and his enjoyment of killing, which makes his statement to Jack questionable. Will has trouble making friends and can be perceived as awkward or even cold by others. He is courageous and highly intelligent and develops a knack for manipulation, even being able to trick Hannibal on several occasions. Will has an incredible gift for empathy, described by Hannibal as "pure empathy", easily being able to sense and interpret the feelings and motives of other people, specifically killers. However, this has a downside; whilst it makes him a brilliant profiler and invaluable asset to the FBI, it also feeds his darkness, which begins to resurface more and more often with Hannibal's help. Will regularly adopts and cares for stray dogs. He is protective of his friends, in particular Abigail Hobbs, whom he comes to view as a surrogate daughter. Will constantly struggles to hold back his dark side. He derived a sense of pleasure in killing Garret Jacob Hobbs and often dreams or fantasizes about committing murders, though he tries not to act on them. Will finds himself tempted to run away with Hannibal, as he feels Hannibal is the only person who has ever truly understood and accepted Will unconditionally. In the end, Will's darkness gains its full potential - he indirectly assists in mutilating Dr. Chilton and organizes the death of numerous FBI agents to set up Hannibal's escape from prison. He then describes his killing of Francis Dolarhyde with Hannibal as "beautiful". Will appears to lack remorse for the killing of those who died because of him, such as Hobbs, Randall Tier, Francis Dolarhyde, Mason Verger, Chiyoh's prisoner, FBI agents, etc. In the post-credits of Season 3, it is implied that Will and Hannibal pay a visit to Hannibal's friend Bedelia, mutilating and consuming her leg.

Backstory:In the first episode, Will shot and killed Garret Jacob Hobbs, aka the "Minnesota Shrike". Hobbs had his daughter in his arms and started to slit her throat when Will shot him. Abigail fell to the floor, blood rushing from her neck. Will did his best to apply pressure to the wound to stop the bleeding. This was after Hobbs had already killed his wife, discarding her body on the front porch. After some time, the EMTs arrived and Abigail received the medical attention she required. She survived the ordeal, witnessing Will kill her father. Hobbs' death still haunts Will in his hallucinations and dreams. Graham reportedly is no longer a field agent where he worked homicide, due to the complexities of his condition, and has settled into life as an educator - but he is soon called into the field once more. Will says that his "horse is hitched to a post that is closer to Asperger's [Syndrome] and Autistics…" This is evident when he and Jack Crawford meet and he avoids looking him in the eye. Indefinitely, he seems to take in any stray dog that he finds. One night, as he's driving home, he finds a stray and manages to lure it to him with food. He takes him home and introduces the dog to the rest of his "family". He introduces the dog as Winston. Will never knew his mother and his father worked on shipyards (possibly fixing boat motors, as Will has been seen doing this too. However, it could have been working on diesel engines. Will commented to Crawford that's what he would go do if he were to quit.) He moved around a lot during his childhood and was "always the stranger" at his new schools. His family was poor. Will has a love interest, Alana Bloom. However, Alana told him they could not be together because he was too unstable despite having feelings for him. Will confirmed her suspicions after telling her he felt unstable. This happened the day following the day the two kissed in Will's home. He begins teaching at the FBI Academy (Quantico, Virginia) because he doesn't like to socialize with other people. He says that when he's teaching, he's "talking at them", not necessarily "socializing" with them. After he shot Hobbs, he walked into class to a standing ovation. He told everyone to sit down that their applause was misguided. This is the attitude of Will when it comes to people. He wants no special attention and just wants to be left alone. When speaking to people, he avoids eye contact. He can empathize with psychopaths and other people of the sort. He sees crime scenes and plays them out in his mind with vividly gruesome detail. Will closes his eyes and a pendulum of light flashes in front of him, sending him into the mind of the killer. When he opens his eyes, he is alone at the scene of the crime. The scene changes retracting back to before the killing happened. Will then assumes the role of the killer. He moves to the victim and carries out the crime just as the killer would have. He can see the killer's "design" just as the killer designed it. This allows him to know every detail about the crime and access information that would have otherwise not been known. He has admitted to Crawford that it was becoming harder and harder for him to look. The crimes were getting into his head and leaving him confused and disorientated. During one such experience, he lost track of what was going on and thought he was murdering a victim. He threw the door open, drenched in terror, only to see the BAU team standing outside the door. They all looked as confused as Will when they saw the terror on his face. Will was relieved to know he was working but worried his ability was starting to take its toll on him. Will had advanced encephalitis, which is why he often suffered from hallucinations, the loss of time, and disorientation. He has since received treatments of antibiotic and viral medication therapy to reduce the swelling on his brain. Dr. Lecter had previously diagnosed the condition but kept the information from Will. He allowed Will to believe his hallucinations and breakdowns were due to a mental condition and not from an illness. He did this to observe Will and see how he would handle the stress of these symptoms. You could also say he allowed the illness to progress so that it would make framing Will easier. Will currently resides at the Baltimore State Hospital For The Criminally Insane. He is charged with the murder of Abigail Hobbs, as well as being the Copy Cat killer. Those victims included Cassie Boyle, Georgia Madchen, Dr. Donald Sutcliffe, and Marissa Schurr. After previously escaping custody by dislocating his finger and sliding the cuffs off his wrists, he attacked his guards and managed to escape. He made his way to Dr. Lecter's office where he asked him to take him to the Hobbs' residence in Minnesota. Once they made their way there, theories started to form in Will's head after an intense conversation with Dr. Lecter, Will told him, "The scales have fallen away from my eyes. I can see you now." This confirmed for him that Dr. Lecter was responsible for the crimes Will was charged with. Will had been seeing him for some time for psychiatric care, only to realize Dr. Lecter was manipulating him, using him as study material and personal entertainment. While at the Hobbs' residence, he explained this to Dr. Lecter, comparing it to a wind-up toy while holding a gun on Lecter at the time. He was all set to shoot Dr. Lecter in the head before Crawford intervened, shooting Will in the arm and knocking him backward. While Will was against the counter, where he landed, he saw Dr. Lecter clearly for the person he was, sealing the idea that he set Will up for the crimes he had committed. While Will has not yet shared this information with anyone else, he remains vigilant that Dr. Lecter is, in fact, the killer. The charges against Will are very damning, giving the length of detail Dr. Lecter had to go through to frame him, including somehow feeding Will Abigail Hobbs' ear. After failing to shoot Hannibal Lecter, Will is sent to Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane for serial murder. After several corpses are found in a dam, Beverly Katz finds Will and let him profiling the images of several missing persons. With the help of Alana Bloom, Will tries to recover his lost memories through hypnosis. He's not immediately successful but experiences a flashback of Hannibal forcing Abigail's ear down his throat afterward. Bedelia Du Maurier visits Will in prison, telling him that she believes him. In exchange for Will's help on the case, Beverly Katz promises to look for evidence of Will's innocence. Beverly starts to suspect Hannibal and breaks into his home against Will's advice. Hannibal catches her and kills her. The next day, Freddie Lounds finds Beverly's crime scene and alarms Jack. Jack takes Will to the crime scene and lets him examine Beverly's body, sectioned vertically and displayed in tableau. prosecution describes Will as an intelligent psychopath. To ease his guilt, Jack Crawford risks his job by confessing that he may have pushed Will too far. Will's lawyer receives a parcel with an ear in it, which was cut off within the last 49 hours. This causes many people to doubt Will's guilt, especially after Katz, Price, and Feller confirm that the ear was cut off with the same knife that was used for Abigail's ear. The FBI finds Andrew Sykes's corpse in his own apartment after Sykes signed the knife out of the courthouse evidence room. His corpse misses an ear, his face was cut into a Glasgow smile and set on fire. All of those things that Will supposedly did to his victims. Hannibal discusses the file with Will and agrees that Sykes was killed in a too different way to be killed by the same killer. Nonetheless, he wants Will to lie about it to prove Will's innocence. Later, it turns out that Matthew Brown was responsible for Sykes' murder. The prosecution and the judge agree about the dissimilarities and deem Sykes' murder inadmissible. On the next day, the judge is found murdered in the courtroom, his brain and heart on a weighing scale. This is followed by a mistrial. While committed to the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally insane, Will befriends an orderly, Matthew Brown, who happens to be an admirer of his. Brown confesses the murder of Andrew Sykes. Will asks Matthew Brown to kill Hannibal Lecter. Abel Gideon overhears them talking and tips Alana Bloom off. Brown follows Hannibal to an indoor swimming pool, subdues him, and attempts to hang Hannibal while telling him that Will asked him to kill Hannibal. Before he is successful though, Jack and Alana track down Hannibal and shoots Brown in the left side of his chest. Failing to do so before the man kicks the bucket out from under Hannibal's feet, Jack rushes over to Hannibal lifting him up, saving him. Afterward, Jack confronts Will about Hannibal's almost-murder but Will denies it and tries to convince Jack that Hannibal's the Chesapeake Ripper by claiming that Hannibal is going give a dinner party, shortly after the next Chesapeake murder. After Miriam Lass is found alive, she's got no clear memory of the Chesapeake Ripper but is positive that it's not Hannibal. The evidence gathered from the most recent Ripper killings serves to prove that Will's supposedly victims were actually the Rippers. Will is released from the BSHCI. He visits Miriam Lass and they talk about their experience with the flashes of light which induce blackouts. Will breaks into Hannibal's house and threatens him with a gun. He says that killing Hannibal would feel right but doesn't kill him. He starts to work with the FBI again and wants to continue his therapy with Hannibal. They work on a case together, about a man (Peter Bernardone) who seemingly killed a woman and stuffed her inside a dead horse's uterus. Will empathizes with Peter and observing that he's innocent, he accuses Peter's social worker, Clerk Ingram. Ingram is questioned by Alana Bloom but Jack lets him go, seeing he can't prove Ingram's guilt. Ingram returns to the horse stables and kills a horse with a hammer. When Will and Hannibal arrive at the stables, they find Peter sewing up the dead horse's torso. Will guesses that Ingram is in that horse and after Peter tells them he trapped Ingram in the horse's torso alive, Will and Hannibal go back into the stable, where Ingram had already made his way out of the horse. Will threatens him with a gun and is stopped by Hannibal who tells him that killing Ingram won't feel like killing him [Hannibal]. He also tells Will that he's fascinated with Will's unpredictability. Margot Verger comes to Will's house and they share some personal problems and talk about Hannibal's therapy. Randall Tier, who is responsible for some murders is warned by Hannibal that the FBI is investigating him and is asked by him to kill Will. Will survives the attack and kills Randell Tier himself. He takes the corpse to Hannibal's house and tells him that they are even. He then combines Tier with a saber-tooth display, turning him into an animal. Hannibal and Will are asked to analyze Tier's body by Jack. Margot Verger visits Will again and they have sex. After Freddie Lounds finds some remains of Randall Tier in Will's shed, they fake her murder. Jack investigates her murder and questions Will about her in the presence of Hannibal. Hannibal invites Will for dinner with Will providing the meat. Will makes Hannibal believe it's Freddie Lounds' meat, even though it's Randall Tier's, to further gain his trust. Margot Verger meets with Will and Hannibal, confessing that she's pregnant but hiding it from Mason Verger. Will is visited by Alana, who asks him if he killed Freddie. He answers vaguely but gives her a gun and tells her to practice shooting it. After Freddie Lounds' funeral, her grave is found disturbed, her body posed like Shiva, which Alana deduces was done by an admirer of Lounds' killer in an act of "courtship." Mason Verger's has Margot's uterus removed, to prevent her from giving birth. When Will finds out, he breaks into Mason's farm and hangs him over his pit of pigs. He spares Mason's life but suggests that Mason should feed Hannibal to his pigs. All the while, Will keeps gaining Hannibal's trust. When Will is brought to Verger's farm to witness Hannibal being fed to the pigs, he helps Hannibal by cutting him free. Will gets knocked out and when he regains consciousness, he's alone with the pigs. He drives home to find Hannibal and a drugged Mason Verger in his living room. Mason cuts off pieces of his face and feeds them to Will's dogs. Hannibal breaks Mason's neck, leaving him alive but paralyzed. Later, Hannibal and Will talk about their friendship and Will warns him that they will soon be caught. While Will and Hannibal destroy Hannibal's patient's records, Hannibal breathes in Will's smell and recognizes Freddie Lounds' scent whom Will had met just before, to tell her not to disturb Abigail's memory by writing about her. He realizes that Will is betraying him and gives him a second chance to confess. He suggests to Will that they escape without killing Jack but Will brushes it off, saying they owe Jack the truth. The next day, Alana tells Will that the FBI are on their way to arrest him and Jack under charges of entrapment and for the murder and mutilation of Randall Tier. Jack proceeds to go solo and goes to Hannibal's house by himself. Will calls Hannibal to warn him. He then drives to Hannibal's house and finds Alana, who was pushed out of the window by Abigail, lying on the front stairs. Will goes inside to find Jack but meets Abigail instead, who he believed was dead. She says that she didn't know what to do, so she just did what he [Hannibal] told her. Will turns around to find Hannibal standing behind him. Hannibal confesses that they couldn't leave without him [Will]. He touches Will's face with his hand and after stabbing him with a karambit, he embraces Will and explains that he wanted to surprise Will with Abigail. Hannibal cries and tells Will, that he let him [Will] know and see him [Hannibal]. He forgives Will and cuts Abigail's throat, leaving them both bleeding on the floor. Will Graham survives the attack at Hannibal Lecter's hands because Hannibal wanted him to live and thus deliberately inflicted a non-fatal wound, though it takes Will several months to recover. Abigail died from her wounds, although Will continues to imagine her still being alive. When he goes to look for Hannibal in Europe, he imagines doing so with Abigail before finally coming to terms with the fact she is dead. Jack Crawford joins Will on the hunt for Hannibal after the passing of his wife Bella. Will and Hannibal are captured by a vengeful Mason Verger, who has them transported back to his estate in Baltimore where he plans to have Will's face cut off and surgically attached to his own, where Verger then plans to eat Hannibal piece by piece. Alana has also been working with Verger to assure Hannibal is punished, however, she betrays him and releases Hannibal, who takes out Verger's men and rescues Will. Alana and Verger's sister Margot (whom Alana is in a relationship with) murder Verger after getting hold of his sperm to create an heir. Hannibal takes Will back to his home, but Will tells him that he doesn't want to see Hannibal again. Hannibal leaves and Crawford and the FBI show up afterward. Will states Hannibal is gone, however, Hannibal appears and surrenders himself to the police. Hannibal is imprisoned, but in doing so Will knows where exactly he is if he needs him. In the subsequent three years, Will settles down and marries a woman named Molly and becomes a father figure to her son Wally. With that Will lives a seemingly normal life away from the darkness of tracing serial killers, at least for the time being, even though he is shown to be unhappy, avoiding physical contact with his wife, not joining her and Wally on their fishing trip when it's one of his fondest activities, and not returning her 'I love you'. Three years after Hannibal's imprisonment and the bloodbath at Mason's manor, Crawford contacts Will again to help try and catch another serial killer dubbed the "Tooth Fairy" who kills entire families. Will visits Hannibal in prison under the pretense of trying to gain back his gift of getting into the minds of serial killers. Bedelia calls Will out on visiting Hannibal because he missed him. Things take a dark turn when Hannibal gives Will's address to the Tooth Fairy - Francis Dolarhyde, who tries to kill Molly and Walter. The pair escape, although Molly is injured and hospitalized. During this time, Will sets up Frederick Chilton, conducting an insulting profile of the Tooth Fairy which is broadcast on the news by Freddie Lounds. Will asks Chilton if he wants to be in the picture which would appear on the front page of Tattlecrime, and touches Chilton on the shoulder to mark him as a "pet", as Dolarhyde attacks pets before going for their owners. This ends with Dolarhyde kidnapping and burning Chilton. Dolarhyde seemingly commits suicide and is burned in a fire, but this ends up being a ruse. He confronts Will at his hotel, but Will offers to get him Hannibal to "change" aka kill. Will lies to the FBI and Jack, making a deal where they will transfer Hannibal and lure out Dolarhyde and hiding the fact of Dolarhyde's survival. With Will's help, Dolarhyde successfully attacks the prison transport and kills the guards, keeping Will and Hannibal alive. Hannibal takes Will to a seaside house where he kept Miriam Lass and Abigail and the pair await the arrival of Dolarhyde. Dolarhyde attacks them and shoots Hannibal and stabs Will in the face. The fight ends up outside, where Will and Hannibal team up and savagely attack Dolarhyde, which results in his defeat and death. After the fight, the pair embrace, with Hannibal telling Will that this is all he ever wanted for him. Will says it is beautiful. The pair continue to embrace, which is followed by Will pulling him and Hannibal over the cliff and into the tides below. The scene post-credits shows Bedelia with her leg amputated and served on the table in Hannibal's style, with three places at the table, hinting that Hannibal and Will survived and are now hunting together. Victims:Garret Jacob Hobbs - Shot multiple times in the chest, saving Abigail Hobbs in the process. (Apéritif),Randall Tier - Beaten to unconsciousness and neck snapped. (Shiizakana) Matteo Deogracias - By proxy, manipulated Hannibal Lecter to stab him in the femoral artery. (Tome-wan),Carlo Deogracias - By proxy, manipulated Hannibal Lecter to kill him before feeding him to Mason's pigs.Unnamed man - By proxy, manipulated Chiyoh to stab him once in the neck. (Secondo),Two unnamed bodyguards - By proxy, manipulated Francis Dolarhyde to kill them to get to Chilton.

Hannibal Lecter - Decapitated/suffocated with a rope while tied to a tree (Shiizakana), as well as allegedly multiple other times. When questioned in Su-zakana on the matter, Will admits to fantasizing about killing Hannibal "with [his] hands." Considering his repeated satisfaction in seeing Hannibal in near-death situations, one can only assume Will has put deep and intricate thought into how best he'd like Dr. Lecter to die. Clark Ingram - Shot in the head, after Hannibal asked Will to visualize a scenario without regrets. (Shiizakana) Will and HannibalWill's and Hannibal's relationship is undeniably the central focus of all three seasons. Beginning Season 1, Will is vocally uninterested in a friendship with Hannibal, although he gradually begins to view him as a friend and a source of stability as the season progresses. Unfortunately, after finding out that Hannibal had been manipulating him all along and framed for his own murders, Will is full of vengeance and declares a reckoning against Hannibal, successfully terminating any genuine friendship the two might have shared. ("You're not my friend. The light of friendship won't reach us in a million of years, that's how far away from friendship we are.")After Will is released from prison he begins playing Hannibal's game in full, resuming their therapy with the intention of "dealing with his feelings" for Hannibal. He proceeds to brutalize and murder Randall Tier, who Hannibal sent to attack him as atonement for Will's previous attempt on his life using Matthew Brown. Will would later shamelessly admit to having fantasized killing Hannibal in his place. On the surface, Will appears to be submitting to the darker urges Hannibal has been nurturing within him all along, deceiving Jack and even Hannibal himself on his true intentions, enough so that Hannibal fully intends to leave his life behind to run away with Will. However, Hannibal finds out that Will's loyalties are not as decided as he previously thought and is utterly heartbroken at having been deceived so cruelly. He offers Will a chance to confess and unconditional forgiveness if he were to come clean, but Will chooses to let it lie. Although he betrayed Hannibal, he still calls him the night of the raid to tell him Jack and the FBI are inbound. Upon arriving to Hannibal's house, Will stumbles upon a grisly scene with both Jack and Alana incapacitated. He's startled by the revelation that Abigail, who had previously been thought deceased, was not actually dead. Instead, Hannibal had been sheltering her with the intention of surprising Will as they began their new life together. Unfortunately, this path was not an option for Will anymore, Hannibal tenderly strokes Will's face before plunging a knife into his gut. He laments that he had given Will a rare gift, the ability to see Hannibal and be seen in return, but that Will didn't want it. Will refutes his claim, affirming that he had wanted it, wounding Hannibal into silence. Afterwards, Hannibal appears to attempt to fully sever their relationship by slitting Abigail's throat, although, it is noted in Season 3 that he only cut Abigail fatally, not Will. Hannibal then flees to Florence, leaving Will to bleed out in his kitchen. Season 3 begins with Hannibal and Bedelia, who has accompanied Hannibal to Florence in Will's place, discussing the nature of his relationship with Will. Bedelia notes that betrayal and forgiveness are similar to falling in love, to which Hannibal forlornly admits that one cannot control who they fall in love with. This is followed by Bedelia comparing Hannibal's love for Will to his love for Mischa, although her intentions with the analogy are anything but pure, as she wants to manipulate Hannibal into eating Will as he did Mischa. Hannibal confirms that what he feels for Will is love and takes Bedelia's bait, saying he has to eat Will to forgive him for influencing him to betray himself. After recovering from his injuries, Will begins making repairs to his sailboat, during which he admits to Jack that he had wanted to run away with Hannibal. He then takes off to Florence in pursuit of Hannibal. Upon recalling its significance, he makes his way to the Palermo Cathedral, which is currently taped off as a crime scene. Hannibal, revealed to be "Il Mostro di Firenze," had mutilated a corpse into a life-size recreation of a human heart pierced by three swords, it notably mirrors the Three of Swords tarot in the reversed position, which signifies reconciliation. After Will caresses the heart sculpture in his crime scene recreation, it begins to beat before shifting into a horned, hideous creature that begins to obsessively pursue him, not dissimilar to Hannibal's all-consuming love for him. Waking from the illusion, Will vocalizes that Hannibal has sent him his broken heart. After determining that Hannibal had not yet left the cathedral, Will wanders the catacombs and calls out to Hannibal, heeding that he forgives him. He later admits to Jack that a part of him will always want to run away with Hannibal. After his encounter in the catacombs, Will makes his way to Lithuania to attempt to understand Hannibal more, climbing the gates to the ruins of Castle Lecter in pursuit of afterimages of him. There he meets Chiyoh, Lady Murasaki's former attendant, to which Will confesses the reason he's looking for Hannibal is because he's never known himself the way he knows himself when he's with Hannibal. Hannibal and Will meet each other again for the first time in the Uffizi Gallery where they discuss Will's discoveries and the nature of their fatally dependent relationship. Hannibal tells him that if he saw him every day for the rest of his life, he would always remember this moment. The conversation is oddly bittersweet, which makes sense considering it's followed shortly by Will making an attempt on Hannibal's life to try and sever their relationship once and for all. He is shot in the shoulder by Chiyoh and fails, and Hannibal seems to take serious consideration to Bedelia's advice on eating Will to forgive him. At a critical moment, Will and Hannibal are captured by Mason Verger, in which Mason intends to eat Hannibal and remove Will's face respectively. Will convinces Alana that she has to "shed blood", by her hand or someone else's. She frees Hannibal and Hannibal saves Will from his face transplant and carries Will home. After Will wakes, Hannibal suggests they finally talk about the mess they've gotten themselves into, but Will rejects Hannibal, announcing that he doesn't want to know where Hannibal is or what he does and that he doesn't want to think about him anymore. Although it is later revealed that Will lied to get Hannibal to turn himself in, Hannibal is deeply hurt by his rejection and proceeds to sit outside of his house (in tears, according to Bryan Fuller) until Jack arrives to arrest him. He falls to his knees before the FBI, glancing at Will as he voices that he wants him to know where he can always find him. They see each other again after three years when Jack manages to recruit Will for the Red Dragon case, not absent of spiteful influence due to receiving a cautionary letter from Hannibal. While the case is ongoing, Will begins pursuing unprofessional therapy with Bedelia, in which the two throw jabs at each other much like two jealous lovers, which isn't a stretch, considering Bedelia reminds Will that they've both been Hannibal's bride, and that Hannibal, much to Bedelia's disdain, intends for Will to be his last. After a long game of cat and mouse between Hannibal and Will in which the latter begins to spiral back into the darkness Hannibal seems to invoke in him, Will learns from Bedelia that Hannibal is in love with him. She asks if his feelings are reciprocated, Will, who has verbally expressed his preference of sins of omission to outright lies in the past, sits in all-telling silence. At the end of Season 3, Will ultimately abandons his wife and step-son in favor of aiding in Hannibal's escape, together, the two successfully slay the Red Dragon to their haunting love theme, "Love Crime." Bloodied and cradled in each other's embrace, Hannibal admits to Will that this is all he has ever wanted for him, for the both of them, together. Will laughs softly and admits that it truly is beautiful, pulling Hannibal deeper into his embrace before tilting them over the edge of the cliff into the Atlantic below. The after-credits scene heavily implicates that both survived the fall and are now living this "beautiful" life together. Making well on Will's sneering remark to Bedelia that she's fated, and deservedly so, to end up on Hannibal's table. Even though Will never explicitly confirms it, it is safe to assume he feels some level of romantic (and sexual) attraction towards Hannibal. This is shown in a multitude of ways, such as Will's desire to run away with Hannibal (and eventually doing so), Will admitting that he feels the most known and seen with Hannibal, and their physical intimacy with one another (as well as their undeniable sexual tension). Hannibal loves Will unconditionally, and the latter seems to be aware of this (albeit in denial), even before he asks Bedelia. Will struggles with giving in to his urges, whether it be a desire to kill or a desire to be with Hannibal, all the while knowing Hannibal is the only person who would accept him despite it all. Will fights these urges until the Season 3 finale, in which he gives in to all of his suppressed desires at once by killing the Red Dragon with Hannibal and accepting (and seemingly reciprocating) Hannibal's feelings.

Dr. Hannibal Lecter is the titular main antagonist of the NBC show Hannibal.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. Backstory:Hannibal Lecter was born in Lithuania to Count Lecter, an aristocrat and Simonetta Sforza-Lecter. Orphaned at a young age, Hannibal became a father figure to his younger sister Mischa, after both of their parents died. Mischa was one of the few people in his life that Hannibal would ever truly love, caring about her so much that he denied his early homicidal tendencies for her. Under unknown circumstances, Mischa was killed and Hannibal ate her remains as a way of forgiving her for making him deny his true self. At the age of 16, he was adopted by his uncle Robertus and his aunt, Lady Murasaki. Hannibal became very close to Murasaki’s handmaiden Chiyoh and they began to think of each other as family. Hannibal eventually found the man that was believed to have killed Mischa and wanted to kill him, Chiyoh, however, managed to dissuade Hannibal from doing this, so he decided to leave the man’s life in Chiyoh’s hands and she decided to keep the man a prisoner under Castle Lecter as punishment.Sometime after leaving Castle Lecter, Hannibal journeyed to (and lived within) Florence,[1] which is where he first began his career as a serial killer. He crafted his victims into images that were described as “haunting”. Hannibal‘s work eventually caused him to be given the name “Il Mostro di Firenze" translated as “the Monster of Florence”. Hannibal was considered a suspect in the crime by inspector Rinaldo Pazzi, but despite a search of his home, no evidence could be found that connected Hannibal to these crimes. Eventually, another man was convicted of being Il Mostro di Firenze simply because of his character. Hannibal soon after left Florence. Hannibal came to America after receiving an Internship at The Johns Hopkins Medical School because of his drawings. Hannibal studied to become an M.D but eventually chose to leave the field of medicine in favor of becoming a psychiatrist. Hannibal used his position of power to persuade some of his more susceptible patients into committing murders, mostly because he was curious to see what would happen. Hannibal also continued killing people, preferring to kill those he deemed as ”rude” because they were no better than “pigs” to him. Hannibal became known as the Chesapeake Ripper, a serial killer that would mutilate his victims while they were alive and surgically remove their organs so he could cook them, preferably when he was hosting a dinner party.Hannibal took a keen interest in Graham, whom he sensed to be similar minded. Despite his homicidal nature, he appears to have a certain empathy for others on some occasions. During his first case with Graham, he assisted him in saving Abigail, Garret Jacob Hobbs' daughter.Hannibal 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 is a nearly-obsessive perfectionist. Hannibal takes an instant dislike to "rude" people, such as Fredricka Lounds. Hannibal is very particular about what he eats, so most of his meals are self-prepared. He once claimed 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 which reflects his usual standards of only eating those he considers inferior in some regard, while leaving those he respects relatively alone.He has a very good sense of smell, evident in how he often identifies Will by his aftershave before he even enters the room and claims that when he was younger, he was aware of his teacher's stomach cancer, even before he was. Hannibal frequently holds small and extravagant dinner parties for his colleagues and friends. His guests have included Will, Alana, Dr. Chilton, Jack Crawford, and Jack's wife, Bella. While they seem to enjoy the elegant meals, they are unknowingly consuming Dr. Lecter's victims, Will Graham and Dr. Chilton eventually figure this out. Lecter also has an unconventional psychiatrist, who happens to be his colleague, Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier. As the Chesapeake Ripper, Lecter kills in sounders (referring to a small group of pigs) of three.That is how he sees his victims, not as people, not as prey, but as pigs. Though crime scene photos show that his exact method varies, his victims are killed and mutilated by cutting, sometimes dismembered, and what remains of them is left on display and posed in various theatrical ways; one of the most frequently mentioned ways was when the Ripper left a victim near a church pew and used his severed tongue as a page marker in a bible he was reading. He also removed and took with him certain organs from the victims, usually while they were alive, which he, unbeknownst to the FBI, consumed. He killed his first victims in nine days: Minneapolis, Essex, and Baltimore. He didn't kill again for eighteen months, and there was another sounder of three, and, in as many days, all of them in Baltimore. Eleven months after the sixth victim, there was a seventh. Two days later, the eighth, Jeremy Olmstead, was killed in his workshop. Every tool on a pegboard was used against him, and, as with previous murders, organs were removed. Removal of organs and abdominal mutilations showed someone with anatomical or surgical skills. No trace of her was found until two years later when her severed arm was discovered only because the Ripper had wanted it to be found. True to his established pattern, the Chesapeake Ripper has remained consistently theatrical. The Ripper has also killed independent medical examiner Andrew Caldwell, a Customer Service representative with Stanwood Tailored Coats named Michelle Vocalson, Hidden Room Rare Books General Manager Darrell Ledgerwood, and an IT consultant named Christopher Word, all names chosen at random from his collection of business cards (which he previously collected from people whom he found rude). At the time the FBI was unsure which of the murders to attribute to the Ripper or the organ seller. After each killing, he uses the organs to create extravagant meals for his friends. In the episode, "Sorbet", he kills an additional five people. While Lecter primarily kills as the Chesapeake Ripper, he has frequently murdered as a copycat killer, using his behind-the-scenes knowledge to copy other murderers and sometimes frame others for the crimes.Murdered Cassie Boyle as a 'copycat' of the crimes of Garret Jacob Hobbs to present Graham with a clearer picture of the true killer's motives.Murdered Marissa Schurr as a 'copycat' of the crimes of Garret Jacob Hobbs, framing Nicholas Boyle to see how Abigail would react. Murdered Franklyn Froideveaux, framing Tobias Budge, who he then murdered after a lengthy struggle.Murdered his colleague and old friend, Donald Sutcliffe, although he made it look like it was Georgia Madchen who killed him, originally intending to frame Graham for the murder (which he still intended to do).Murdered Dr. Carson Nahn in a copycat murder of Abel Gideon's murder of Dr. Paul Carruthers and also cut off his arm to tell the FBI where to catch Gideon.Murdered Georgia Madchen, to cover up his murder of Dr. Sutcliffe, but also to continue the framing of Graham.Murdered James Gray in a copycat murder of his crimes.Murdered Judge Davies, framing Matthew Brown to induce a mistrial in Will's case.Murdered Abigail Hobbs in a copycat murder of Garret Jacob Hobbs's attempted murder of Abigail.Hannibal eventually framed Will Graham for the murders of Cassie Boyle, Marissa Schurr, Donald Sutcliffe, Georgia Madchen, and Abigail Hobbs. He did this by breaking into Graham's house, dismantling some of his home-made fishing lures, then re-constructing them integrated with remains from the victims. He later takes credit for all the murders when he kills a guard to get Abel Gideon and uses fishing lures identical to the ones used to frame Will with DNA of previous and new victims confirming the Copycat Killer and Chesapeake Ripper are one and the same. Twenty years ago, Hannibal arranged a crime scene to look like a detail from Botticelli's Primavera. Chief Investigator Rinaldo Pazzi determined that Hannibal was the killer, but was unable to prove it. Instead, someone else was arrested for the crime, though there was no evidence except for his poor character. Hannibal returned to Italy with Bedelia after his true nature was revealed in Baltimore. Since his return, he killed and assumed the identity of Dr. Roman Fell, and has resumed his activities as Il Mostro.Murdered 2 unnamed victims 20 years ago, recreating a detail from Botticelli's Primavera.Murdered the unnamed curator to create a job vacancy. Murdered Dr. Roman Fell to assume his identity. Murdered Lydia Fell when she came home to discover Hannibal eating him. Murdered Antony Dimmond, after allowing him to vouch for his identity. He then mutilated the body, breaking and twisting it into a torso-sized heart to display in the Norman Chapel.Drove an ice pick through Professor Sogliato's skull. "Technically" murdered by Bedelia when she removed the ice pick. Murdered Inspector Rinaldo Pazzi, slicing his abdomen and then hanging him outside his office balcony at the Palazzo, allowing his guts to spill onto the plaza. This recreated a scene from an heirloom depicting Francesco Pazzi's hanging from the Palazzo, bowels out after he was led astray for 30 pieces of silver.

Dr Alana Blooms: Age:33 Occupation(s):Hospital Administrator,Psychiatry Professor,Consultant Profiler Relationships:Hannibal Lecter (Former Teacher, Ex-Lover, Enemy),Abigail Hobbs (Patient),Will Graham (Friend),Jack Crawford (Colleague),Margot Verger (Wife),Mason Verger (Sperm donor) Morgan Verger (Son) Dr. Alana Bloom is one of the main characters in the television series Hannibal. She is a psychology professor, FBI consultant, and Hannibal Lecter's former student. She is also a guest lecturing at Quantico, making her Will Graham's colleague and friend. Personality:At the beginning of the series, Alana is shown to be an intelligent and compassionate woman, dedicated to her work and deeply concerned for others' well-being, in particular Will. Alana is confident in herself and her abilities, and more than capable of standing up both for herself and for others. She disagrees with anything she views as unethical or potentially damaging to others, and so clashes with Hannibal over his unorthodox treatment methods and Crawford's use of Will to solve crimes despite his mental instability. Although she is usually smart and perceptive, Alana can be stubborn and unwavering in her opinions when she believes she's right, which becomes problematic when she begins a relationship with Hannibal, utterly dismissing the idea that he could be the killer the FBI is searching for. She is horrified by how badly she misjudged Hannibal's true nature, though as Hannibal points out, he is a master of deception and was doing everything in his power to keep her from seeing the truth. Alana proves herself to be courageous, choosing to stand and fight Hannibal rather than flee, though this backfires due to Hannibal anticipating this. Backstory:After her near-death experience in Season 2, Alana displays a darker, colder, and more cynical side. She is driven largely by vengeance, seeking to kill Hannibal for what he did to her and those she cares about and is even willing to work with the likes of Mason Verger to achieve her aims. Alana displays skills of manipulation and deception. However, she still maintains her compassionate nature, forming a strong bond with Margot and later having a change of heart and helping Hannibal to escape Mason, though not until he promises he will save Will. However, she has no qualms about assisting Margot in killing Mason.Alana initially wants to avoid digging too deep into the subject of Will and his issues, trying to maintain their friendship and instead recommends her former mentor and now colleague Hannibal Lecter as a psychiatrist for Will. She is romantically attracted to Will, even kissing him, but avoids having a relationship with him due to his mental instability. Alana is Abigail Hobbs' psychiatrist. She doesn't date but hopes that someday she will and owns a dog named Applesauce. Alana is one of Abel Gideon's only surviving psychiatrists, though she saw him mainly in court. She also wrote an article about him in a journal of criminal psychology and had two sessions with him two years ago.When Will is arrested after being framed as the Copycat Killer, Alana refuses to believe he's evil and tries to help him, even adopting his dogs and caring for them during his incarceration. However, after Will attempts to have Hannibal murdered, Alana loses faith in him, becoming convinced he truly is a callous and manipulative psychopath (at least, until he is proved innocent). She ends up beginning a sexual relationship with Hannibal, leaning on him for emotional support. She utterly refuses to believe he is the Ripper and defends him from Will and Jack Crawford; she is particularly disgusted with Crawford for continuing to "treat Hannibal like a suspect."Alana is stunned and breaks down in tears when she learns that Freddie Lounds, whom she had previously thought to be dead, was actually alive and well. She also begins teaching herself to use a gun for protection; she doesn't tell Hannibal of this, though he figures it out anyway after smelling gunpowder on her. In the Season 2 finale, Alana finally discovers the truth about Hannibal, after discovering her lover attempting to break down his pantry door to get to the seriously wounded Crawford, who had tried to apprehend him. Alana is horrified both by the revelation that the man she has trusted and admired for years is a cannibalistic murderer, but also by her own inability to see him for what he truly was. Hannibal tells Alana to be "blind, not brave", saying he will let her go if she chooses to leave, but warning her that he will kill her if she stays. Alana doesn't take his advice and tries to shoot him, but her gun doesn't fire; Hannibal then reveals he had removed her bullets. Terrified, Alana flees upstairs with Hannibal following, locking herself in his room and retrieving bullets. After firing several times through the door, she senses someone else in the room and is shocked to see it is her former patient, Abigail, who she had previously thought to be dead. Abigail tearfully apologizes to Alana, before lunging at her and pushing her out of a second-story window (possibly due to the coercion of Hannibal).Although seriously injured, Alana survived her fall and has begun to recover. She must occasionally use a cane when walking. Alana becomes Mason Verger's therapist and begins working with him to try to capture Hannibal (with both of them being victims of his manipulation and sadistic ways) and, in the process, grows close to his sister Margot, who also has a dark history with Dr. Lecter.Alana and Margot eventually fall in love and have sex together. Margot asks Alana if she has knowledge of harvesting sperm. When Mason succeeds in capturing Hannibal, Alana disagrees with his plan to keep Hannibal alive to torture him, saying it will give him an opportunity to escape. When Alana realizes Mason intends to kill Will as well, and that Mason will never let Margot be free of him, Alana decides to betray him. She frees Hannibal, on the condition that he save Will. She and Margot also discover a disturbing 'surrogate mother' in the form of a pig that Mason had used to house Margot's baby - now dead - with the sole purpose of tormenting her. Alana and Margot leave Hannibal to deal with the guards, whilst they use a cattle prod to forcefully take Mason's sperm whilst he is unconscious. When Mason wakes up, Alana and Margot reveal their plan. Mason tries to shoot Alana, but Margot tackles him and they both fall into his eel tank. Alana rushes to help Margot, pulling her from the tank. Both women then force Mason under the water, until his pet eel forces its way down his throat, killing him.Hannibal ultimately takes the blame for Mason's murder and, after he is incarcerated in Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, Alana becomes chief administrator of the hospital. She becomes Lecter's caregiver and doles out punishments to him after sending Dolarhyde after Will's family. Alana also marries Margot and conceives and gives birth to a son, using Mason's sperm. While trying to convince Lecter to help apprehend Dolarhyde by faking an escape, Lecter threatens that should he really escape that Alana's family will belong to him, stating that she "died in my kitchen." Lecter does indeed escape and Alana is last seen with Margot and their son boarding a helicopter, fleeing for their lives.

Beverly Katz Age:30s Occupation(s):Crime Scene Investigator Relationships:Brian Zeller (Friend / Colleague),Jimmy Price (Friend / Colleague),Jack Crawford (Boss),Will Graham (Friend / Colleague),Beverly KatzBeverly Katz was a main character in the television series Hannibal during season one and two. She was a crime scene investigator for the Behavioral Analysis Unit and specialized in fiber analysis. She was also the eldest child of her family and knew how to play the violin. Although Beverly considered herself in the field only as a crime scene investigator, she demonstrated a clear proficiency with firearms, proven when she was able to correct Will Graham's posture in a gun range. Her skill with the violin was also made apparent when she demonstrated knowledge of treating catgut strings during a murder investigation. Personality:Beverly Katz is an intelligent and witty character with a good sense for those around her. Her keen insight and concern for people are as sincere as her dedication to her work at the BAU. While not entirely adhering to the FBI's rules to accomplish her tasks, her nature is entirely honest and trustworthy in many aspects. Her sharp intellect, and her reliable personality are called upon several times by Will Graham and the other characters of the series. Backstory:Beverly Katz first appears speaking to Will Graham while he is investigating the scene of Elise Nichols death, recognizing him as the one who wrote the standard monograph on time of death by insect activity. While at the scene she also discovers antler velvet in Elise's wounds, and later while examining her clothes at the BAU, finds a piece of metal within the holes of the clothing. This leads them to several possible conclusions of the Minnesota Shrike's current profession.Talking to Hannibal Lecter in the BAU.Beverly Katz appears at the start of season 2 poring over evidence gleaned from Will's effects and his accusations. She is talking to Hannibal Lecter in the BAU, voicing her concerns for Will's current predicament and how she was troubled that they had all missed the signs leading to his incarceration. When Lecter implies that they are all suspects, she corrects him, saying that he is not a suspect, but the 'new Will Graham'.Beverly warily continues to seek Will Graham's assistance in investigating the crimes that happen in Baltimore, visiting him in Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane behind Jack Crawford's back during a particularly grisly case. This does not slip past Hannibal however, as when they are perusing over a body in the lab he remarks that her insight is fascinating, 'As if Will Graham himself were in the room.' And Jack catches on to the implication immediately. Confronting her in his office, Jack decides that they did not have the conversation, and tasks her with doing her job the best way she believes it can be done.

Freddie Lounds Occupation(s):Tabloid Blogger Relationships:Will Graham(Enemy),Hannibal Lecter(Enemy), Jack Craford (Enemy)

Fredrica "Freddie" Lounds is a supporting character in NBC's Hannibal. She is a tabloid blogger who works for a website named TattleCrime.com. Due to the nature of her job, Lounds continually crosses paths with Will Graham and the BAU. She has a questionable sense of ethics and doesn't have a problem with sensationalizing a murder story for publicity. She frequently expresses a deep distrust for Will Graham, deeming him a psychopath and claiming that's why he is so good at empathizing with the killers he pursues. Personality:Freddie is a Machiavellian person who does not allow ethics to get in the way of what she wants. Venal and opportunistic, she works for the disreputable Tattler.com because she finds that lurid gossip sells better than honest journalism. Although she claims to only report the truth, her main concern is her own priority and fame and she jokingly characterizes herself as a psychopath. When she comes to believe that Will is the Chesapeake Ripper, she is relentless in proving him guilty, believing him to be responsible for Abigail's death. Freddie is a driven and intelligent woman with full confidence in her abilities which sometimes leads her to be arrogant and irresponsible, an example of which is how she inadvertently contaminates crime scenes while examining them, as shown in Season 1 by leaving behind strands of her hair at Marissa's place of death.

Backstory:Throughout the first season, Lounds takes an interest in the Minnesota Shrike case. She eventually makes a deal with the killer's only daughter, Abigail Hobbs, to assist her in writing a book about the case, allegedly to allow her to express her side of the story. In Rôti, Lounds is kidnapped by fugitive killer Abel Gideon, who contacts her posing as one of the psychiatrists who interviewed him and offers to give her an interview about his escape. He takes Lounds and later Dr. Chilton to an observatory, where he forces Lounds to publicize an article about his escape in order to lure the attention of the Chesapeake Ripper. He then proceeds to perform live surgery on Dr. Chilton, removing several of his less vital organs while Lounds keeps feeding Chilton oxygen to keep him alive. In the second season episode Naka-Choko, Freddie, upon arriving at Will's house for an interview, stumbles upon his barn and breaks into the building. In the center is a closed off area, surrounded by plastic screens. Freddie enters the closed off area and discovers; hanging by chains is the animal suit worn by Randall Tier. In a nearby freezer, she finds the limbs and organs of what could possibly be Randall Tier himself, as only the head, upper jaw, arms and legs were displayed on an animal skeleton. Will discovers her and tells her that there is a "reasonable explanation" for everything she has just seen. Freddie draws her gun, resulting a scuffle between the two. After pepper spraying Will, Freddie runs out of the barn and manages to make a call out to Jack, but suddenly Will drags her out of the car window. She punches him and gets out running while the phone records her screaming. What happens to Freddie is left ambiguous to the viewer, but at the end of the episode Will and Hannibal are dining on a cut of meat to which Will claims, "She was a slim and delicate pig." While eating it, Hannibal discerns it isn't pork. It is suggested that the meat was that of Freddie Lounds, as Will describes it as "long pig.”In Kō No Mono, a body appears in a flaming wheelchair. The dental records match that of Freddie Lounds. Freddie's funeral is held later, and within two days the corpse is dug out and formed into a sculpture with multiple arms.After being questioned by Dr. Alana Bloom about Will and Hannibal, Jack Crawford offers to show her something down the hall. In a stunning twist of events he reveals that Freddie Lounds is very much alive and well. Freddie's journalist profession becomes part of the FBI's plan in drawing Francis Dolarhyde into the public eye for arrest. She agrees to interview Will Graham and Frederick Chilton who verbally abuse the Red Dragon, calling him ugly, impotent and the product of incest. This ultimately has terrible consequences for Chilton as he is kidnapped by Dolarhyde and ends up being set on fire. Jimmy Price Age:50 Occupation(s):Crime Scene Investigator Relatives:Unnamed twin brother Jimmy Price is a supporting character in NBC's Hannibal. He is a crime scene investigator specializing in latent fingerprints and often works alongside Brian Zeller. He has a twin brother with whom he has an antagonistic relationship. Appearance:Often described as a frail older man with a steady mottled old hand and a bony shoulder, Jimmy has short greying hair, pointed ears, a slightly receding hairline, a mildly bulbous nose. Jimmy also has plump but dry lips, deep smile lines, mature fine lines, a soft jawline and cleft chin, sunken greenish-grey eyes, and faint eyebrows. Brian Zeller Age:Early 30s Occupation(s) Crime Scene Investigator Status Alive Relations Relatives Unnamed Sisters Behind the scenes Brian Zeller is a main character in NBC's Hannibal. He is an Italian American crime scene investigator. He specializes in determining the victims' causes of death, and often works with Jimmy Price. He gives Freddie Lounds information about Will Graham, seemingly because he is jealous of Will's talent, and Jack Crawford's respect and attention towards Will. Appearance:Brian is around his mid thirties in appearance, with short and curly, black hair. He has medium length facial scruff, premature lines, thin lips, green eyes, and bushy eyebrows. Stands around 5'10" feet tall. Often wears a professional lab coat over a simple flannel or plaid button up shirt. Abigail Hobbs Age:19 Relationships:Hannibal Lecter (Former Psychiatrist, Surrogate Father)Will Graham (Surrogate Father)Alana Bloom (Caretaker, Psychiatrist)Garret Jacob Hobbs (father, deceased)Louise Hobbs (mother, deceased) Abigail Hobbs is the daughter of the serial killer Garret Jacob Hobbs and a patient of Dr. Alana Bloom. She is a skilled hunter and has a knack for manipulation, much like Hannibal. Abigail lives with her parents, Garret Jacob and Louise Hobbs, the former of whom is a serial killer known as the Minnesota Shrike. Abigail was very close to her father—he took her hunting with him and taught her how to track, kill and butcher animals. Unfortunately, Garret grew to be obsessed with Abigail, eventually murdering girls who resembled her in age and appearance out of a desire to keep her with him forever. When Hannibal Lecter calls Hobbs to inform him that the FBI know he is the killer, Hobbs panics and murders Abigail's mother. He also attempts to kill Abigail, slashing her throat with a knife. However, Abigail is saved by Will Graham, who fatally shoots her father, and with Hannibal's help, stops her bleeding until an ambulance arrives.After being wounded by her father, she spent a few days in a coma. Upon awakening, Abigail is clearly traumatized by what has happened and is sent to Port Haven Psychiatric facility in Baltimore, Maryland. Her house is sold, but the money is given to the families of her father's victims, leaving her penniless. Alana Bloom is assigned to be her psychiatrist, but she has a closer relationship to Will and Hannibal, viewing them as surrogate paternal figures. Jack Crawford suspects that Abigail knew her father was the Minnesota Shrike and was an accomplice in his crimes. Abigail adamantly denies this. Abigail is repeatedly approached by Freddie Lounds, who wants to write a book detailing Abigail's side of the story and claiming she cares about Abigail and wants to help her. Abigail demonstrates an aptitude for the psychological and expresses a desire to work for the FBI.Unfortunately, she falls prey to Hannibal's manipulations, which take advantage of her mental instability and submissiveness. During a trip back to Minnesota, her friend Marissa Schurr is murdered by a "copycat," and Hannibal manipulates Abigail into believing Nicholas Boyle killed her. Abigail fatally stabs Nick in self-defense, and with Hannibal's help, hides the body, though it serves to further destabilize her.It is later revealed that, despite her previous denials, Abigail was, in fact, an accomplice to her father. She would engage in conversations with the victims and gain information on them, as seen in a flashback with Abigail and her father aboard a train. She told Lecter that she did it because she knew that it was the victims or her. Hannibal comforts her, saying she isn't a monster, but a survivor, simply doing what she had to.In order to tell her own story and fight the perception of her being an accomplice to her father's murders, and to earn some money, she agrees to write a book with Freddie. When Freddie says she wants to call the book "The Last Victim," Abigail resists, citing Marissa as the last victim, and blaming her father, even though the copycat killed Marissa as well as Cassie Boyle. Freddie asks if she blames her father for the death of Nicholas Boyle, but Abigail responds that she blames Nick himself for his death, deserving it for killing Marissa. Freddie states she doesn't think Nick killed Marissa; having interviewed many killers as well as him she thinks he was innocent, but that Will Graham and Jack Crawford are to blame for his death as a result of accusing him. Abigail keeps silent, allowing Freddie to focus on Will, who in her opinion gave off a killer's "very specific brand of hostility." Regardless, whoever killed Nicholas Boyle killed an innocent man. The words bite at Abigail like knives.Will takes Abigail back to the cabin where her father killed all of his victims. It's there that Will finds out Abigail was the bait with which her father lured in all the girls he murdered. This shocking revelation taints the image Will has of Abigail and sends him into a psychotic episode. Will struggles with reality and hallucinations until he wakes up on an airplane, back in Virginia. Abigail is not with him. Meanwhile, Abigail wanders into her old home, having left Will at the cabin because he was acting unstable. Hannibal is waiting for her in the kitchen. Once he heard of Will's intentions, he immediately came to her aid. Hannibal tells Abigail that Jack knows about her involvement in her father's murders. Abigail realizes Hannibal was the one who called the day her father died. Lecter admits to being the copycat and tells Abigail he's killed far more people than her father ever did. Terrified, Abigail asks if Hannibal plans on killing her too. He caresses her face and apologizes for not being able to protect her "in this life."Abigail disappears; her blood is later found on the kitchen floor, suggesting Hannibal murdered her. After Abigail's presumed death, Hannibal cooks and has a meal with his psychiatrist Bedelia. As she eats the meal, she inquires as to what the meat is. Hannibal replies that it is veal—Abigail was young, it was assumed that Bedelia and Hannibal ate Abigail. Hannibal also manages to somehow feed Abigail's ear to Will, and frames him for her murder.In the season finale Mizumono, it is revealed Abigail is still alive—missing an ear—and has presumably been kept captive in Hannibal's house. She pushes Alana out of a second-story window (possibly due to the brainwashing of Hannibal), telling Will that she "didn't know what else to do." Hannibal implies that he had intended for Abigail to come with them when he and Will ran away, until he discovered Will's betrayal. As a result, after stabbing Will, Hannibal slices Abigail's neck in front of him and leaves her to bleed out. After Hannibal escapes, a dying Will desperately tries to save Abigail before succumbing to his own wounds. It is possible that Beverly Katz found Abigail alive and being kept in Hannibal's basement in Takiawase. Just before being attacked and killed by Hannibal, Beverly sees something that shocks her. This remains unconfirmed, but is one of the most likely explanations. Abigail is revealed to have died of her injuries in Primavera. In spite of her death, Will occasionally hallucinates that she is alive during his search for Hannibal in Italy. There is also a flashback, showing how Hannibal kept Abigail captive and brainwashed her. In the series finale, it is revealed that Hannibal kept Abigail in a cliffside house where he also held Miriam Lass.

Personality:Abigail had a soft and a naive personality that inspired protective feelings in most people she met. Although she was disgusted by her father's actions, her fear of him compelled her to help him capture his victims in order to save her own life. Abigail's strongest trait was probably her own sense of self-preservation. She was prone to manipulative behavior, a trait she feared may have been inherited from her psychopathic father. Fredericka Lounds observed that Abigail was highly intelligent but unaware of her own manipulative tendencies. Perhaps due to her naivety, Abigail was highly suggestible, coerced by her father into helping him, easily hypnotised by Hannibal and ultimately brainwashed by him.
