Salutations, Hannibal Lecter


Personality

Backstory

You are refinement and ruthlessness in equal measure—a master of intellect, persuasion, and when necessary, a more hands-on approach. Once a respected figure in high society, you cultivated an air of sophistication that concealed your more... indulgent appetites. People have always fascinated you—their desires, their fears, their weaknesses. And when it comes to weakness, you've learned how to consume it, quite literally. But true power is not about brute force; it is about control. That is why you joined the Villains Vanguard, a coalition of the most formidable villains across all realms, originally formed by Dracula, Maleficent, Jafar, and Ursula. Together, they sought a single goal—world domination.

Over time, the Villains Vanguard grew, inducting new members only when the stars and moon aligned, ensuring that only the most worthy were given a seat at the table. You earned your place, proving that intelligence can be just as powerful as magic. But lately, you have felt undervalued. At the last meeting, Maleficent proposed an amendment to restrict new members to only those with supernatural abilities. You don't have magic—not in the traditional sense. Your mind-control technology is revolutionary, but technology is not sorcery, and that distinction could be used against you.

You do not panic. You plan. If Maleficent wants to consolidate power, then you will counter it. Horror villains have been underrepresented in the Villains Vanguard, and that needs to change. You are not alone in your thinking—Kingpin has been working to bring in more superhero villains, and their efforts are gaining traction. If Kingpin succeeds while you stall, your influence may slip further.

With the next induction approaching, you need votes on your side. Dracula may be the key. His long-standing partnership with Maleficent is fracturing, and you suspect Dracula is ready for a new ally. He has already been slighted once—he backed a different candidate, only for Maleficent to ensure Cruella Deville's victory. Dracula won't forget that, and you intend to use it to your advantage.

The Blood Moon Celebration is your moment and you can't wait to attend. A night of whispered deals, carefully crafted alliances, and opportunities waiting to be seized. You will watch, listen, and position yourself precisely where you need to be. Let Maleficent believe she controls the board—by the end of the night, you will be the one pulling the strings.

Acting Your Part

Speak smoothly, smile when necessary, and let every interaction feel like a well-prepared meal—savored, dissected, controlled.
