**Hannibal** is a triton transmutation wizard. He is played by the founder of the channel, J.W. Ross. He is one of the core characters in the campaign series Soldiers of the Lich Queen.

## **Description**

### **Appearance**

Hannibal is a Triton who thought that he was mutated through the half-Gith parentage and experiments done on him and his siblings, but instead found out that he's a specific sub-section of Triton known as a "Deep One" which changed his whole viewpoint on not only himself, but the way he was going to live going forward (Episode 29: Season Finale in Bastion). This resulted in him burning his bowler hat, glove and the sleeves of his coat to show off his razor-like fins that he was now so very proud of.

Unlike most Triton, Hannibal is covered in slimy, greenish-black scales and adorned in razor-like fins. His head looks humanoid in appearance aside from his two snow-grey eyes with small red glowing slits (like a snake) for pupils hidden by ridged, protruding "eyebrows".

On top of his domed head is a series of three fin like mohawks and are spined like the spines of a lionfish.

His teeth are long, jagged, misshapen and fanged like a deep-sea angler fish and his lips don't do much to hide his perpetual and constant toothed grin.

He stands about 6'4" which is taller than most Triton and weighs around 275 lbs. His body is considered toned and healthy and he does indeed like to keep up with his physical health, opting out of drinking alcohols and indulging in what some call "sins of the flesh." His arms are also covered in spine-like fins, but smaller and more concealed in the slimy flesh. However, unlike most Triton he only has about three digits on each hand that seem devoid of fingernails and/or claws.

His legs are nearly the same in terms of appearance of his arms, but his feet are extremely webbed and frog-like. People like to describe him as if an angler fish had somehow been combined with a Triton and a frog. In terms of clothing, Hannibal likes to reflect his more studious and learned nature and tends to wear a long, flowing Victorian style frock coat made from red velvet and with a long, flowing, thick gray scarf. The coat has had the sleeves cut off to reveal the razor-like arm fins. Beneath the frock coat sits a buttoned up purple cashmere waist-coat that holds a bandoleer wrapped from his left shoulder across to the right side of waist and this bandoleer is full of various vials of strange materials, liquids and his wands.

For pants, he wears a pair of black silk leggings held up by a pair of ruby-red suspenders that are hidden beneath the frock-coat. On his feet to conceal their strange appearance, he wears a pair of leather knee-high boots with two white marble great white sharks coiled around the tips of the boots.Finally, he wears a pair of tortoiseshell glasses that sit on the ridge of where his nose might be.

### **Personality**

Due to being raised entirely inside a Gith Enclave for his entire life, his interactions and experiences with the outside world are non-existent, and as such he's never had the opportunity to work on his social skills. He holed himself up in his lab at the enclave and buried himself in research of the arcane and the art of artifice, and proclaims himself to be rather intelligent, although he's not exactly wise.

He's rash, and abrasive and blames this on him being socially inept. At times he can be caring of the individuals closest to him, but he will always put himself and his pet death dog, Moloch above everyone else. He's incredibly selfish in this regard, and will do anything to further his lust for power such as wearing a set of chitinous armor that was clearly cursed in order for himself to "feel useful", but in reality he just wanted to feel powerful.

He can also be quite cold and calculating, as displayed when he burned an injured man alive after the individual had put Moloch at risk, and many others when a band of mercenaries attacked the Onyx Cat Cabaret and tried burning it down. He may have told his adopted siblings that he was working on being better, but when he's alone he's much more aligned with his true motives, and his true self. He puts on a bit of a facade in front of his siblings.

Hannibal is also a vengeful individual and is prone to keeping vendettas on individuals who had wronged him. Due to this, he has marked Grantar as his mortal enemy and will do whatever it takes to kill him, even if it means putting his siblings at risk.
