History:

Hannibal King was born an only child family in Boston, Massachusetts, his father was a police officer, and his mother was just a housewife. All during his childhood, he showed great interest in his father's work, and his father taught him as much as he he could about police work. Hannibal went to school like any normal child and learned as much as he could. While still being taught by his father. Eventually Hannibal graduated from High School. After that he wanted to follow his father's footsteps, so he went to the police academy. Hannibal was trained at the police Academy, and was one of the best in his class. He joined the force, and soon managed to become a detective. A little after he became a detective, Hannibal decided to become a private investigator, since he could make more money doing that.

Hannibal started his own detective agency, and was pretty good, he got a lot of low profile cases, and made enough money to support himself thanks to that. He stayed doing that for about 2 years, until he got a case, to try and find some missing people. He started doing his own investigations and came up with a name that they all had common, Deacon Frost. Hannibal started on the trail of Deacon, when he finally found him, he was attacked instantly. Now Deacon Frost was a vampire, and he drained Hannibal of his blood. Hannibal layed in a morgue for three days, until he awoke as a vampire himself.

Hannibal realized what he was, and started hating himself. He became a nomad after that, wandering from place to place. He used his incredible willpower to prevent himself from drinking the blood of anyone that was living, and drinking the blood of people who were recently deceased. He hardly used his powers, because of hatred for what he became as well. Hannibal considered his nomadic ways for a while, until he came across another vampire.

Hannibal was disgusted by this vampire, who was a savage, and had no regard for any human life, what so ever. Hannibal attacked this vampire, and accidentally killed him, by knocking him on a wooden fence, and one of the broken pieces went through the vampires heart. It was after he killed the vampire that he got an idea. Hannibal decided to hunt down other vampires, and protect humans, by killing them, and he also hoped that he would come across another Deacon Frost as well.

He still hunts down vampires, and tries to find Frost as well. But he continues on with his human life, as a Private Detective as well. He needs the money after all to get the blood that he needs to survive, since he refuses to drink the blood of a living being.
