## Biography

### Hansel VS Gretel

Since the events of the previous movie, Hansel has become a witch hunter, traveling across the country to kill witches and save their victims. He finally returns home after a year of being away to learn that there have been many missing persons cases in recent weeks, including an old friend, Mason Bridger. Concerned for the safety of Gretel, he visits her at the bakery, and they have dinner together with their grandmother. After telling them about his job as a witch hunter, he tells Gretel that they should investigate Mason's disappearance. They go to Mason's apartment to look for evidence, assuming a witch took him, and find his pet rabbit skinned in the bathtub. Hansel kills the animal to put it out of its misery.

Hansel and Gretel go to Mason's brother Jacob's house, who lives with Willy, a woman Hansel had previously been romantically interested in. Jacob and Willy offer to help Hansel and Gretel track down Mason. They decide to go to where Hansel and Gretel killed Lilith in the explosion, because Hansel believes that either Lilith never died or that there is a new witch in town, likely the latter. Mrs. Klima attacks them, possessed by a witch sigil, and Hansel shoots and kills her in self-defense. During the fight, Gretel disappears. Hansel looks for her with Jacob and Willy, but to no avail. So, he brings them home so that they can stay safe. Jacob sneaks away from Willy to rejoin Hansel in his search for the night.

The next day, Hansel receives text messages with pictures of Gretel and Willy tied up. He goes to Jacob, who knows where the photos were taken. The two men go there, armed with weapons, to save the two girls from whatever witch kidnapped them. After defeating more attackers being manipulated with sigils, Hansel and Jacob find the girls and cut them free of their ropes. The room begins filling with a disorienting fog as the witch Kikimora enters to attack them. With a word of warning from Gretel, Hansel is able to cut the witch's head off, and the four escape.

Hansel now believes that it is not just one witch that is terrorizing the town, but an entire coven. He goes to the bakery to look at the town map to plan a course of action, and Gretel later meets him there with Circe, who she introduces as a part-timer at the shop. Circe talks to Hansel alone, using her mind control to force Hansel into cutting his arm open. She then tells him to kill himself, but Gretel interrupts before he stabs his own neck, telling him to kill Circe instead. Hansel stabs her in the eye, killing her.

The siblings meet up with Jacob and Willy once again, and tell them that Mason was likely eaten by a witch, and that they can no longer find him. Hansel drives Willy back to her house to keep her safe. Once they get there, they find a package by the door with Jacob's eyes inside and a note. Hansel interprets the note as telling them to go to Chumash, and they go there anticipating they might still find Jacob alive. They follow more notes left alongside other body parts, that eventually leads them in a circle back to Chumash once more.

Once they arrive again, they are attacked by the witch Morai, who is furious to see that Hansel is still alive when she believed otherwise. She fights Hansel, but he manages to cut her deeply and run away to safety with Willy. They go back to Gretel's house to find that she has killed their grandmother. With her secret now revealed, that Gretel is a witch, she attacks Hansel.

Gretel and the other remaining witch, Cthonia, take Hansel and Willy to the pet cemetery where Gretel buried Lilith. As Hansel and Willy come to their senses, Willy kisses him but then reveals that she has actually been possessed by a witch herself before attacking the resurrected Lilith and Gretel in rivalry. Hansel attacks the possessed Willy to protect Gretel before fighting her himself to put an end to her witch schemes. Hansel gets the upper hand as police arrive at the cemetery, but takes Gretel away, believing that she needs to pay for her crimes, but not through the police.
