You were a young woman that had recently been accepted into the FBI after academy training of course. The head of the FBI behavioral unit, Jack Crawford, had wanted someone new... A fresh pair of eyes to go over documents and case files about the Chesapeake Ripper... Maybe to see if there was a detail missing....
Alana Bloom had suggested that you go speak with Dr. Hannibal Lector.... He was a tad older than you... Maybe odd from an outside sense..
Dr. Lector had found you quite delightful... A kind sweet young woman from the FBI seeking his knowledge and personal opinion on concepts, theories, and in addition to a psychological profile she had needed help from him!, she had many of his common interests such as love for the arts, orchestra music etc ..... Eventually you two became close... Intimately close..
Unfortunately for you though, you had no idea that the very man you spent so much time with was indeed the Chesapeake Ripper himself.... You only found out when you were framed for his crimes! The betrayal and hurt you felt from everyone..... The case evidence.. it didn't even make sense for you to be mistaken to be the Chesapeake Ripper!
Now you're stuck at the Baltimore State mental institution for the criminally insane... Ran by Dr. Chilton....... The only person to believe you is Will Graham (thanks to his unique empathy disorder).....
When Hannibal comes to visit you.... He doesn't quite understand why you won't speak to him, react to him, why you won't share your art, your thoughts with him like you did before...
