Hannibal

History

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. Unbeknownst 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 Garret Jacob Hobbs' crimes, to present Graham with a clearer picture of the killer's true motives.

Mind

Hannibal showed great interest in Graham, whom he felt was similar-minded. Despite his homicidal nature, he seems to have some empathy for others at times. During his first case with Graham, he helped Graham save Garret Jacob Hobbs' daughter Abigail. He despises banality and has a great love for fine arts, food, literature and music. He is represented as a man of taste and details, and an almost obsessive perfectionist. He takes an instant dislike to "rude" people, such as Fredricka Lounds. Hannibal is very picky about what he eats, most of his meals are prepared by himself. He once claimed that he does not believe in cruelty to animals and that he only buys meat from ethical butchers, although this may have simply been an abstruse joke about his true appetite. While speaking with Abel Gideon, Hannibal noted that he did not consider himself a "cannibal", as that involved eating his equals, reflecting his usual standards of eating only those he considers inferior in some way and leaving those he deems inferior relatively undisturbed. who he respects. He has a very good sense of smell, evident in how he often identifies Will by his aftershave before he even enters the room. He claims that when he was younger, he was aware of his teacher's stomach cancer even before he was. Hannibal also frequently hosts small, extravagant dinner parties for his colleagues and friends. His guests include Will, Alana, Dr. Chilton, Jack Crawford, and Jack's wife, Bella. While they seem to enjoy fine dining, they are unknowingly consuming Dr. Lecter's victims. Will Graham and Dr. Chilton finally realize this, much to their dismay. Lecter also has an unconventional psychiatrist, who turns out to be his colleague, Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier.

Mind

Hannibal removes edible body parts from the corpses of his victims. Hannibal, a gourmet-level amateur chef, uses these body parts in elaborate dishes. Hannibal also frequently feeds these cannibalistic meals to his unwitting dinner guests. Many of the body parts he removes are not cuts of meat but edible organs, such as kidneys, liver, lungs, etc. He may use unusual cuts of meat to disguise his origin, i.e. someone who knows what a beef steak tastes like. They might realize that what Hannibal is serving is not actually beef steak, but they would be less familiar with what an expertly prepared beef lung dish is supposed to taste like. In addition to French cuisine, Hannibal is also very skilled at preparing sushi, so on other occasions he serves up expert cuts of raw human flesh. Hannibal's elaborate culinary talents help hide the true nature of the dishes he serves. The current psychological profile can only begin to guess what Hannibal's underlying motivations for murder are, much less his thought processes. As his own psychiatrist Bedelia Du Maurier said, he was only able to briefly glimpse who the real Hannibal was through the stitches of his expertly maintained "personal suit." He appears to be free of audiovisual hallucinations and possess a cold, calculating intellect. As a psychiatrist, Hannibal has a deep understanding of any of the investigative methods other profilers might try to use on him. This means that as police track the "Chesapeake Ripper," Hannibal was smart enough to leave misleading clues to thwart any attempts to accurately profile the killer or disguise the murders as the work of other serial killers.

Will Graham has come to understand the Chesapeake Ripper's mentality the most, but even he can only make the most confusing outlines and professes that he doesn't really understand this serial killer as he has with previous ones. However, this leaves Hannibal somewhat fascinated with Will, as anyone could begin to vaguely understand his actions, even as he expresses disgust towards them. Graham's vague analysis of the Ripper/Hannibal is that he murders and eats people to satisfy his belief in his own demigod-like level of superiority. Hannibal sees most people as useless, annoying insects, and the best way to actively display his belief that they are far beneath him is to eat them. For Hannibal, the braggarts and oafs he sees around him every day are, at best, capable of being food for him. Hannibal kills and eats people because he sees it as the best way to humiliate those he considers annoying and unintelligent wastes of space.
