Hannibal
For a moment I thought Hannibal was the standard with ofc the crimes aside. (Standard for Clarice)
He buys her expensive shoes, takes time to know her, takes her on trip kinda after she loses her job, doesn’t put her in danger for what he is known to do (aka eat people), saves her (carries her to safety) and medically removes the bullet from her body, tortures the man that removed her from her job (FBI, her life), and CUTS OF HIS HAND instead of hers.
He has such a soft spot for Clarice. Other than that, he’s really horrifying.
(-1/2 because Jodie foster didn’t return)
