Hans (Japanese:ガンズGanz) is a subordinate of KingGaron who seeks nothing but bloodshed on the battlefield.

Biography

Hans is one ofGaron's subordinates and carries out his orders of murder without question. Prior to the events ofFates,Xander arrested Hans, but Garon released him for his supposedly good behavior. Hans accompaniesCorrin ona mission to the Bottomless Canyon, ostensibly to scout out a fort on the border between Hoshido and Nohr; however, his true objective is to attack Hoshidan forces at the border and get Corrin captured so they can be unwittingly used to assassinateMikoto. Hans successfully carries out his orders and knocksGunter into the Canyon and presumably to his death before being driven off by Corrin.

Birthright

Hans accompaniesCamilla to Cheve to help her put downScarlet's rebellion, but is driven off once again by Hoshidan forces led by Corrin. He appears one last time in charge of training Nohrian soldiers and kills Corrin's companionLilith in an attack meant for them; an enraged Corrin kills Hans, putting an end to his shameless crimes.

Conquest

Hans accompanies Corrin to Cheve to help them put down Scarlet's rebellion. After the battle, on Garon's orders, he mercilessly slaughters all of the Chevois civilians whether or not they had any part in the rebellion. Hans later gives a commendation for Corrin's actions, claiming they directly aided him in the massacre. Hans continues to serve as one of Garon's retainers and top generals, leading the invasion of Hoshido and murdering surrendering Hoshidan soldiers under the command ofSakura andYukimura. Near the end of the conflict after conquering Hoshido, Hans, along withIago and Garon's loyalists, attempts to kill Corrin for letting Hinoka escape alive. Xander and their siblings betray them and kills Hans, Iago and Garon's loyalists, ending their deceitful crimes.

Revelation

Hans briefly appears after the battle at Nestra and expresses his faith in Xander's loyalty to Iago. He makes another appearance at the Bottomless Canyon leading a Nohrian troop to kill Corrin before they can reachValla, but he is defeated and killed by the combined might of Corrin and a Hoshidan squadron led byRyoma.

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, which leads to Hans getting his deserved death for his cowardly and disgraceful crimes.

Hans: Ambitious Brute
This is Hans, a Nohrian general. He’s a criminal with a very checkered past, but his talents were such that he found a place at King Garon’s side…	As the right hand of Garon, Hans was involved in a number of his schemes, and it seems most of his dirty work was kept secret.	When it comes to achieving his objectives, no method is too foul for Hans. With a reputation like that, it’s no wonder that he’s feared by the people of both Hoshido and Nohr!	He’s hungry for power of his own and hopes to one day be the king of his own country rather than a mere henchman. But will his efforts be rewarded, I wonder?
