Personality and character

Hans is defined by two core personality traits: his ambition and his violence. Hans wishes to become a rich and powerful noble of Nohr, and will do anything to achieve this aim. To this end, he follows Garon's orders without question. He is also extremely bloodthirsty; he often enjoys killing and violence against anyone who gets in his path, including Hoshidan soldiers, rebel Nohrian civilians, and even Corrin and their siblings. When Xander and the Nohrian royals betray Iago, Hans threatens to kill them, calling them "weak", showing he is loyal only to Garon.
