Hannibal (Barlowe's Hell)

==Summary==
Hani was the first liberated Soul in Hell, achieving this by being the first to ask Sargatanas about his past- when the kindly Demon, who had been experiencing a change of heart towards the Souls, obliged, Hani remembered he was Hannibal Barca, the legendary general who had stood against Rome. Now, here, having served countless lifetimes in Hell, he offered to help Sargatanas in his rebellion by leading the other Souls against a new Rome- Dis, capital of Hell, home of The Lord of the Flies. Sargatanas accepted, and so began the liberation of the Souls.
Under his new master, Hannibal was a striking figure despite his lowly stature and repute. He fought for power and for freedom from Hell, and he fought with a skill unheard of for a Soul- indeed, so great was his might that he could battle even Demons. He trained a fledgling army for Sargatanas and served him at both the Flaming Cut (where he was nearly killed by his former god, Moloch) and Dis, where he took over the only building of the palace to survive the destruction of the aftermath- Moloch's tower, tall and imposing. 
Having been healed by Moloch's absorbed power at the Flaming Cut, as of The Heart of Hell, Hannibal has shown significant changes- he grows muscular, larger, and malformed, taking on both physical and personal traits of Moloch, the god who tormented his people in his life and nearly killed him here in Hell.

Attack Potency: At least Building level (At the battle of the Flaming Cut, Hannibal dispatched a Knight of the Order, who should have been at least remotely comparable to other Knights such as Faraii and Adramalik, the latter of whom could melt the stone legionaries with a single swing of his blazing sword), at most City Block level (Dealt the finishing blow to an already desperately wounded Moloch, who should be superior to Demons Major who survived the meteoric descent into the Pit unharmed)

Weaknesses: After absorbing Moloch's disc, Hannibal is constantly angry and has grown bitter over it, allowing despondency to override his otherwise impeccable sense
