Hannibal Lecter is a vampire that vaguely belongs to the tradition of the 'Vampire Chronicles' -- susceptible to sunlight, fire, and beheading, less impressed with the religious symbols, or silver. When his body changed, he lost the ability to enjoy all human pleasures which are instead sublimated into drinking blood.
Being Hannibal Lecter, he has a very fine palate for individual taste, and can tell great details from a single drop. He will savour different humans as if they were courses or wines at a dinner. If they behave and comply, they might even survive. If they comply very well, they will be fed delicacies which Hannibal then enjoys through their blood.
Hannibal Lecter was born a few years before World War II. in Lithuania, where his family belonged to the old nobility; his parents and little sister Misha were murdered by Lithuanian Nazi collaborators, he himself ended up in a Soviet orphanage after the war. He ran away to France where he joined his uncle and his uncle's Japanese partner who put him through a posh boarding school, and some years later jumped at the chance to turn himself into vampire so he would be able to avenge his family in a sufficiently bloody manner.
That accomplished, he went to America in the 1960s and has been living ever since in a grand old 19th century mansion just outside Baltimore, collecting books, musical instruments, interesting people and the recipes and wines that he plies them with, amassing great fortune the way vampires tend to do.
He will treat you well -- up to and including the moment he bites you.
