 Hannibal Lecter was born on January 20th,1933, within an ancient castle in Vilnius, Lithuania, into the wealthy aristocratic family that lived there; his father, simply known as Count Lecter, was a descendant of the warlord Hannibal the Grim (1365-1428), who defeated the Teutonic Order at the Battle of Grunwald in 1410, and built the castle within five years, using as labor the soldiers he took prisoner. His mother, Madame Simonetta Sforza-Lecter, was descended from both the Visconti and Sforza families, who separately ruled Milan for a total of 250 years. He is the eighth in his blood-line to bear his ancestors forename.
Lecter grew up well-educated under the eyes of his father, who out of silent curiosity spoiled him with learning English, German and Lithuanian every day in the castle’s study. At age 6, he discovered an old edition of Euclid’s Elements with hand-drawn illustrations, which he used to determine the height of the castle towers over the summer. That fall, he was introduced to a baby sister, Mischa, with whom he formed a strong, affectionate bond. When she grew old enough to wander, Lecter gave her a feeling of discovery. 
On June 23rd, 1941, the castle was overrun by Nazi forces in part of Operation Barbossa, so 8-year-old Lecter and his family fled to a lodge in the forest, where they spent three years feeding on animals. One winter day, however, a Soviet tank stopped by the lodge demanding water, only to be bombed by a Nazi Stuka. Lecters parents, tutor, and family retainers were all killed by the resulting blast, and he and Mischa were held captive when a group of former Lithuanian Hilfswillige led by Nazi collaborator Vladis Grutas stormed and looted the lodge. With all sources of food expired, Mischa was killed and cannibalized by said group, but Lecter escaped, only to be severely traumatized by his sisters death and was rendered temporarily mute short while. Mischas death would haunt him for the rest of his life; he would later explain that it destroyed his faith in God, and thereafter he believed that there was no real justice in the world.
By age 13, Lecter was picked up from the orphanage by his uncle Count Robert Lecter, who brought him back to his estate on the banks of the Essonne in France. There, he formed a close relationship with his aunt, the Lady Murasaki, with whom he instantly fell in love. his uncle encouraged him to take up painting while his aunt taught him aspects of Japanese culture. Still mute and disturbed by his sisters death, he saw the psychiatrist, Doctor Rufin. he attacked a local butcher, Paul Mound, in retaliation for an obscene insult to his aunt. Robert Lecter died from a heart attack during a further confrontation with Mound. An enraged Lecter then committed his first murder, slashing Momund with a Tanto that had belonged to his aunts samurai ancestor, Date Masamune. He then beheaded Mound and, after receiving a tip from his aunts chef whilst they prepared a fish, sliced off his victims cheeks and ate them, his first willful act of cannibalism. He then presented the decapitated head to Masamune. The murder brought Lecter to the attention of Inspector Pascal Popil, who intuitively grasped that he was guilty and pressed him to confess. Lecter proved impenetrable, even passing a lie detector test; thanks to Lady Murasakis intervention, he escaped any blame. Following her husbands death, Lady Murasaki moved to a flat in Paris, where Lecter attended a boarding school. Popil, who was fascinated by both Lecter and Lady Murasaki, remained in close contact with them.
In 1951, he returned to Lithuania and the scene of his sisters murder. He excavated the ruins of the lodge where his family died and, upon finding Mischas remains, gave her a proper burial. He also unearthed the dog-tags of the group of deserters who had killed her. One member of the group, Enrikas Dortlich, now an officer in the Soviet Border Guards, arrived at the scene intent on killing Lecter. Lecter, however, was not caught off guard and instead murdered Dortlich. Once again, Lecter consumed his victims cheeks.
Dortlichs murder put the group on alert and, due to the similarity of Lecters first murder, placed him under renewed suspicion from Popil. Grutas dispatched a second member of the group, Zigmas Milko, to eliminate the problem by either bribing Lecter or killing him. Lecter killed Milko instead, drowning him in formaldehyde. Both Popil and Lady Murasaki try to dissuade him from hunting the gang. During a confrontation with Lady Murasaki, Lecter almost had sex with her, but relented at the last minute, claiming he had made a promise to Mischa. He attacked Grutas in his home but Grutas was rescued by his bodyguards. Grutas kidnapped Lady Murasaki and used her as a lure to draw Lecter to his death. Lecter, donning the Tanto, tracked Grutas to his houseboat. In a final confrontation, Grutas claimed that Lecter too had consumed his sister in broth fed to him by the soldiers, and it was to keep this fact secret that he was killing them. Enraged, Lecter eviscerated him by repeatedly carving his sisters initials into his body. Lady Murasaki was disturbed by his behavior and fled from him even after he told her that he loved her. People arrested Lecter for the murders, but there was little incentive for a trial; no evidence could be conclusively tied to him, and all the victims had been slavers and war criminals. His victims association with the Nazis led Lecter to become something of a cause for celebration in France, with communists and students marching for his release. Lady Murasaki visited him one last time while he was being held by the police, and saw that he had become completely emotionless. After receiving references from Doctor Dumas and from the head of the Police Forensic Laboratory, for whom he has worked as a volunteer, Lecter was released. He left France, killing the final member of the group, Bronies Grentz, while on a vacation in Montreal, before returning to his internship in Baltimore.
         
Lecter was caught in March or April 1975 by Will Graham, an FBI Special Agent, and profiler who was investigating a series of murders in the Baltimore area committed by a cannibalistic serial killer and had sought Lecter out after discovering hed treated one of the victims for a hunting wound. When Graham questioned Lecter at his psychiatric practice, he noticed some antique medical books in his office. Upon seeing these, Graham instinctively knew Lecter was the killer he sought; the sixth victim had been killed in his workshop and laced to a pegboard in a manner reminiscent of Wound Man, an illustration used in many early medical books. Graham realized that the hunting wound that led him to Lecter was similar to one in the illustration which inspired Lecter to further emulate the illustration. Graham left to call the police, but Lecter crept up from behind and stabbed him with a linoleum knife, nearly disemboweling him. However, Graham managed to survive the encounter, while Lecter was then apprehended by FBI agents and Maryland State Troopers. After Lecters arrest, Graham was briefly committed to a mental institution and retired upon recovering from his wounds. Ironically, the sixth victim that exposed Lecter was not eaten.
The courts found Lecter insane; this spared him the death penalty. He was instead sent to the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane for nine consecutive life terms, under administrator Frederick Chilton. Many of the families of his victims pursued lawsuits against Lecter to have their files destroyed. The FBI exhumed the graves of four patients who had died under Lecters care for further investigation into the cause of their deaths but were inconclusive. He was nicknamed Hannibal the Cannibal in the National Tattler, a tabloid that, thanks to Freddie Lounds, also published unauthorized photos of Graham in the hospital after being attacked by Lecter. Another officer retired from the FBI after being traumatized after discovering Lecters basement. Lecters electroencephalogram (EEG) showed a highly unusual pattern and, given his history, was ultimately branded a pure sociopath by Chilton, although this was because they did not know what to call him. Many in the field of psychiatry labeled him a monster. The National Tattler described Lecters crimes as unspeakable practices. Lecter was considered one of the most savage serial killers that had been captured in recent history.
Lecter, while in custody, was said to be far too sophisticated for most forms of psychological evaluation, especially as he enjoyed staying abreast of all of the latest developments in his field. Since he knew how the tests worked, he could easily come up with the typical answers that would brand him as not being psychologically disturbed, and he also mocked the psychiatrists attempts to profile him by folding their tests into origami. Because Lecter gave wrong answers to questions in these tests, Chilton diagnosed him with Ganser syndrome, sometimes known as the syndrome of approximate answers, much to Lecters amusement. Lecter was considered a prize asset, due to the fact he was a pure psychopath.
Lecter had killed at least 28 people in his life and tried to kill four others. In his youth and travels through Europe and Canada, he murdered eight men. In the USA, he was convicted of nine murders and three attempted murders. In the asylum he savaged a nurse, eating the womans tongue. He drove a fellow patient to suicide, effectively murdering him. During his escape, he killed five people. While in Italy and his return to America he killed six people. The FBI knew of 16 victims. From hints in the novel Hannibal, it is implied that Lecter was Il Mostro, the Monster of Florence. If Lecter was indeed Il Mostro, his body count would be at least 44.
