Will Graham

He is a criminal profiler and hunter of serial killers, who has a unique ability he uses to identify and understand the killers he tracks. Will lives in a farm house in Wolf Trap, Virginia, where he shares his residence with his family of dogs (all of whom he adopted as strays). Originally teaching forensic classes for the FBI, he was brought back into the field by Jack Crawford and worked alongside Hannibal Lecter to track down serial killers. 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 Graham - behavior/a bit general

Will is a very complex and deep personality. He describes himself as being on the autistic spectrum, and has difficulty interacting socially. He chose teaching based on the fact that communication with people in this profession is minimized. Will avoids eye contact with most of the people with whom he conducts a dialogue, explaining that "the eyes are distracting: they can say a lot, but they do not allow you to see the full picture," so he tries not to meet eyes unless absolutely necessary. Hannibal explains at their first meeting that Will is a very empathic person who finds it difficult to abstract from reality; associations arise in his head that frighten him, which leads to an unstable mental state. Graham also doesn't like being touched. It is difficult for Will to make friends; his behavior may seem awkward or even cold to others. In fact, communication with people causes him discomfort due to his ability to easily and acutely sense and interpret the feelings and motives of another person. Hannibal describes it as "an incredible gift of empathy," "pure empathy." While this makes him a brilliant profiler and an invaluable asset to the FBI, it also fuels his dark thoughts, which begin to surface more and more often with the help of Hannibal and his psychotherapy methods. Will has a unique psychological ability, which he calls "interpreting evidence." In fact, he is able to recreate the killer's mindset after visiting the crime scene, imagining himself as a criminal in order to better understand him. Will is only able to empathize with "dark" people, which raises the question of his real state of mind. According to Alana Bloom, Graham's best side is his humanity: Will regularly picks up stray dogs and takes care of them, as well as worries about people close to him and those who have recently become close. He does not remember his mother, as she left his life when he was very young.

Hannibal Lecter - Biography

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 Graham in saving Abigail, Garret Jacob Hobbs' daughter. 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 Fredricka 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. 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 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.

Orphaned at a young age, Hannibal became something of a father figure to his younger sister Mischa, after 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 and so he decided to leave the man’s life in Chiyoh’s hands. Chiyoh 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 Ill Mostro, simply because of his character and Hannibal soon after left Florence. Hannibal came to America after receiving an Internship at John’s 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.
