LECTER, HANNIBAL PATIENT HISTORY AND PROFILE SOURCES: forensic evidence, public records, eyewitness accounts, interviews, and psychological profiles. Born in Lithuania. Father a Count, mother a highborn Italian. Believed to be descended from the ruthless Tuscan Guiliano Bevisangue and from the Machiavelli and Visconti bloodlines. 1944 – At 6 years of age, Lecter would have shown a frightening intensity and detachment toward those around him, with seemingly preternatural knowledge. At this time the Eastern Front of World War II collapsed, and Lithuania suffered great devastation during the German retreat from Russia. Records exist of an opulent estate near Vilnius, believed to be the Lecters’, where Nazis killed the sovereignty and servants. Several bodies were recovered; none were children. NOTE: The following is strictly theoretical. As the Nazis retreat, several scavengers lodge in the Lecter estate. Those children who survived the attacks are stored in a barn. With a particularly harsh winter, food becomes scarce, and the scavengers turn to the children. Lecter may have been considered, but thought too wiry and thin. Instead, his younger sibling, sister Mischa, is taken from the barn. She is never seen again. 1944-1970 – Lecter’s activities largely unknown. Moved to the United States and established citizenship. 1970 – While serving as an emergency room physician at MarylandMisericordia Hospital, Dr. Hannibal Lecter admits and treats a male bow hunter with an arrow wound. 1970-1975 – Lecter establishes a psychiatric practice in Maryland. 1975 – Dr. Lecter performs psychiatric evaluations for the Maryland and Virginia state courts. Many of his affluent patients claim to have released various funds and stocks to Lecter, however, the IRS was unable to confirm transactions. Eyewitness accounts testify to Lecter driving a customized Bentley and often associating with socialite Rachel DuBerry.

MASON VERGER: Underwent court-ordered counseling with Dr. Lecter. After inviting Lecter to his home, Verger accepts drugs from Lecter. While intoxicated and by Lecter’s suggestion, Verger removes his face and feeds it to his dogs. Lecter breaks Verger’s neck. Verger survives. (One of two known victims to survive Lecter’s attack.) * Hannibal Lecter begins his serial murders. NOTE: Patient/Victim information destroyed by Lecter while still in practice.
