Unlike Elsa, Hans promises he'll never shut Anna out he just might be the connection she's been waiting for all these years. Hans is smart, observant, and chivalrous. With 12 older brothers, Hans grew up feeling practically invisible-and Anna can relate. Official Description Hans is a handsome royal from a neighboring kingdom who comes to Arendelle for Elsa's coronation. After his marriage to Anna, as the plan would go, Hans would kill Elsa and be crowned king thereafter, with Anna as his queen. With Elsa turning out to be an antisocial recluse, however, Hans instead targeted her lonely, less mature younger sister, Princess Anna. Should such an ambition succeed, he could escape his abusive family and finally prove himself as someone worthy of being a king.Īfter receiving word that Princess Elsa was scheduled to be crowned queen, and with no betrothed suitors, Hans sets his sights on the neighboring kingdom of Arendelle. With such fantasies seeming impossible, especially due to being the thirteenth in line for the crown, Hans (with some influence by Lars) concocted a scheme to marry into the monarchy elsewhere. He was still hopeful, however, of someday earning his father's respect not only for the sake of being loved by his parent but to also be the appointed heir to the Southern Isles' throne. Nevertheless, Hans grew to despise his family, specifically the majority of his brothers. Hans' mother, the Queen, was much more loving towards her son and would act as his only true motivation towards concealing his discomfort during family gatherings. He was widely neglectful of Hans, going so much as to unabashedly acknowledge his lack of interest in his son's presence during family and diplomatic gatherings. So while he admired his elder sons (especially the oldest), he thought little of Hans and viewed his youngest son with disgust and distrust. Hans' father, the commanding King of the Southern Isles, believed that the strong should pick on the weak, so in his eyes, his eldest sons bullying Hans was a show of strength. One brother, Lars, treated Hans with considerable difference and was apparently the only sibling in whom the thirteenth prince felt comfortable enough to trust and confide. Much of Hans' past is explored in the novel A Frozen Heart throughout his early years, Hans received a concerning amount of emotional and physical abuse at the hands of his brothers, who treated him with minimal care due to being the youngest child of the clan. Hans is the 13th prince from the Kingdom of the Southern Isles (a neighboring kingdom of Arendelle) and the youngest of the thirteen brothers born from the King and Queen of the desolate kingdom. 3.1 Conceal, Don't Feel (A Twisted Tale).
