## Character Backstory

Hansel lived in Massachusetts before the mutant story leaked. His family has had running ice abilities, though he tended to avoid using them on normal humans and beastlikes, sticking to detective work. He got caught up in an incident report involving cyborgs that led back to two former Black Mesa cybernetics scientists, Dr. Shifu and Dr. Yukito, which forced him to expose his powers. He was still well accepted for his detective work before his department transferred him over to NYC because they “could use his abilities more there.” This was only accelerated with the negative press of the Manhattan incident… He was supposed to be transferred to Manhattan but his “mutant” status prevented it.  He doesn’t want his daughter Cirno hurt because of this conflict.

## Personality Traits

* Gruff and confrontational, he tries to be direct whenever possible.
* He's not an idiot, however, and will wait until he thinks he has a good approach to his problem.

## Storyline

Hansel is a man who is doing his best to carry the public's respect. He's fought in several incidents, including some Aberration incidents, as well as the Argent mutant incidents. What's more difficult for him is dealing with verbal confrontation while keeping cards close to his hand, as seen in a press conference where Manfred von Karma continued to press him for statements, causing Hansel to answer questions out of scope of the intended subject of the Spider Aberration incident.

When the Bronx Harbor was attacked, it didn't take him long to hear about the drone's connections to Shifu, despite the man being in jail. He eventually deduced that they were likely controlled by his base's AI, as well as possibly a robotic double. These suspicions were later confirmed.

He later came into contact with one "Dr. Torus," who was involved with mutant research. Believing her to be connected to Black Mesa, he tried to press more info from her, only to find himself irritated and lacking information. She was eventually put into witness protection at Skye Tower , before confronting her again during the zombie incident, trying to press out the connection corpses' master and her. She escaped by Roboball Drone, saying that she would provide info regarding Shifu's robotic double.

## Relationships

* Cirno -His daughter. Doesn't want her to get caught in the crossfire of all the terrorism.
* Saki -Someone in the Shifu incident a few years ago. They've talked quite a bit then, where he learned about how low Shifu went.
* Isaiah Goodkind -His district chief. A friendly business relationship.
* Gael -A Brooklyn officer he worked with for a while. Despite Gael's anti-mutant views, they seem to hold a certain respect for each other.

## Fun facts/Trivia

* His family developed many tricks to training their power, including meditation and ice sculpting.
