## Biography

Very little is actually known about Hannibal's past, what is known is that Hannibal was believed to have been born somewhere in the U.S. or Northern Europe, however he somehow ended up in Lebanon as an orphan. It's possible that Hannibal's parents sold Hannibal to a human trafficking ring in Lebanon in order to get more money. As Hannibal grew up, he knew he either had to kill or be killed in order to survive. He would lie, steal, cheat, and kill in order to survive. In the streets of Lebanon along with the merciless criminals he usually ran with, Hannibal would usually get beaten within an inch of his life, get stabbed, burned, drowned, and even worse. However, Hannibal survived all that and grew harder psychologically. At that point, nothing scared him, nothing angered him, nothing made him fear for his life. He already experienced all the horrors anybody could ever experience, he had nothing else to fear or lose. At that point, he would become known as one of the most savage criminals in Lebanon, living up to his name of Hannibal as he would lead several gangs and conquer all who got in his way. He would eventually decided to branch out and make more money in the drug, weapons, and even human trafficking. He would move from Hong Kong, to London, to New York City, and to other cities.

However, Hannibal's life of crime would end when he ran with a eastern European human trafficking gang. He would be put in charge of watching over several dozen kids who were all street orphans. Hannibal would suddenly start to feel a new emotion that he hasn't felt in a long time, empathy. He could relate to these children, as he started having conflicting emotions. No matter how much he tried to get rid of them with alcohol, it never worked. Later, he would make the decision to sneak the kids out of the trafficking ring and bring them to a safe place. However, he would later discover that the brutal criminals in the trafficking gang got bored, and murdered the kids for fun. Something in Hannibal would snap that day, as he would take a single combat knife and kill every single gang member he could find. Even though the gang members were extremely skilled and armed themselves, they were all killed. Hannibal would soon give up the criminal life and move to the U.S. where he would join the U.S. Army. There he would rocket through the ranks until he would become a General. The higher ups soon realized this as Hannibal was soon offered the position as commander and chief of the advanced global peacekeeping organization; the Foundation.

Hannibal agreed as he soon became the leader of one of the top spy and military agencies in the world.

## Personality

Hannibal has a very honest and bleak view on life, to the point where he seems like a nihilist at times. However, he is still extremely intelligent and decisive, with the only thing driving him in his mission is to try and create a perfect world where no other little boy has to fight and kill just to survive. Hannibal knows people, especially maniacs and criminals, like the back of his hand and has an incredible strategic mind that makes him one of the greatest commanders to ever live.

Even though Hannibal often tries to leave behind his old life of killing and violence, it can sneak back on him as his strategies are usually decisive, calculated, and brutal. Rarely showing mercy to his opponents as he usually either kills them or psychologically traumatizes them.
