Hannibal

A new character has been introduced, Mason, was obviously a victim of some sort of accident. Was in Hannibal? Mason is a severely deformed character, the need for a respirator and a goggles that wet his eye for him. He is missing an eyelid, could Hannibal have been so merciless as to have eaten an eyelid? Gross. It is apparent that Mason has interest in Hannibal, he is also a very rich and powerful person. He apparently calls into the mayors office and orders a stop to the impending investigation of Clarice Starling. He is also aware of the letter Hannibal sent to Starling, he somehow found and read it. I believe that Mason plans to use Starling as bait to capture Hannibal.
