MASK: Lecter has to be muzzled like a dog to prevent him from biting hunks of flesh from anyone near him. BODY: Every movement of Lecter's wiry body is controlled and deliberate. He moves quickly and quietly, and possesses above-average for a middle-aged man. STRAIGHTJACKET: The straightjacket's extra long sleeves tie in the back and keep Lecter's arms folded safely across his chest so he cannot grab or harm anyone. EYES: Lecter's unblinking gaze reflects pinpoints of red. BRAIN: His unusually high I.Q. makes him especially dangerous. He remains calm and thinks clearly even in the midst of a violent struggle with a victim.
Dr. Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lecter is a genius who can boast pf being a psychiatrist, count, and culinary artist. However, he is also a torturer, cannibal- and serial killer. Hannibal Lecter was raised at Castle Lecter in Lithuania. As a child during World War II, he witnessed his sister being butchered and eaten. While attending medical school in France, Lecter tracks down and kills the men who slaughtered his sister. He does not kill at random, murdering only those who have offended him. His victims end up as a five-star meal.
Hannibal Lecter feels neither pity nor remorse for any of his crimes. He is so cold-blooded that his pulse does not race while he is committing murder. Lecter is so malicious and brilliantly persuasive that he talks a fellow inmate into swallowing his own tongue. Rather than simply cooperating and assisting the authorities in their hunt for another serial killer, Lecter turns the hunt into a game for his own amusement. Lecter is eventually able to escape prison by cutting off the face of a guard and using it as a mask.
DID YOU KNOW? One of Hannibal Lecter's favorite recipes involves sauteing the internal organs of his victims in a butter sauce.
A flute player with the Baltimore Orchestra becomes one of Lecter's victims when his poor playing interferes with the killer's enjoyment of the concerts. Lecter serves up several of the flute player's internal organs at a dinner he holds for the orchestra's board of directors.
Lecter is featured in a number of Thomas Harris' novels: Red Dragon, The silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, and Hannibal Rising.
