Garret Jacob Hobbs

"See? SEE?!"

- Garret Jacob Hobbs' last words

Garret Jacob Hobbs is a minor villain of NBC's TV show Hannibal.

History
Garret Jacob Hobbs (also known as "The Minnesota Shrike") was a serial killer who abducted and killed eight young women. They were all from eight different Minnesota campuses and had the same eye color, hair color and were the same age. However, he risked getting caught so he could tuck Elise Nichols back into her own bed, as her body was imperfect and he couldn't "honor" it the way he did the others. Garret's resignation letter led Will Graham to investigate him. After receiving a call from Hannibal Lecter he murdered his wife and attempted to do the same thing to his daughter but was stopped by Will Graham who shot him nine times. Graham and Lecter saved the life of his daughter, Abigail.

Post-death
After Will killed Garret, he began to have nightmares with Garret Jacob Hobbs, the stag and the Stag-Man (which represents Hannibal Lecter).
