Hannyabal

Hannyabal is the vice-warden in charge of Impel Down. His name is a combination of Hannibal and Hannya, a type of Japanese mask for which his face resembles.

Appearance
Hannyabal is a large pot bellied man that resembles a cross between a devil and an Egyptian pharaoh. His brow ridge is shaped like horns, his chin is shaped like a pharaoh's false beard and he wears a nemes, the striped head cloth worn by pharaohs, with his hair coming from inside the nemes. His face in particular is designed in such a way that it looks like a Hannya mask. He has demon-like wings on his back and also carries a pitch fork around, another common symbol linked to the devil.

Personality
He has a habit of saying he owns everything and then having to apologize afterwards for getting ahead of himself. He does this because he is an "ambitious person". He also seems to be prone to "Freudian Slips", which often give insight to his previously mentioned, ambitious qualities and his somewhat dark brand of humor. This often leads him to be conflicted with the warden Magellan, whom shuts him up with his poisonous breath.

History
Upon Hancock's and Momonga's arrival at Impel Down, he comes to greet them and orders Domino to do a body search on Hancock. As Hancock petrifies her and the Surveillance Den Den Mushi, his subordinates report that they have no image from the room and he goes on and meets them as they exit the room. Then he takes Hancock and Momonga to a lift to go to the fourth floor to meet the prison warden Magellan. While in the warden's room he shows many obvious signs that he wants to be warden someday. He then continues down to Level 5, and introduces Ace to Hancock. He also quickly runs away when Magellan uses Hydra on a prisoner. He comments that if he meets the escapees ( Mr. 2 Bon Kurei, Luffy, Buggy and Mr. 3 ), he will let them escape so Magellan would be fired and he would take his position. Magellan assigned him to keep the stairway who led to Level 3, and Buggy and Mr. 3 currently conspire to beat him to escape.

Translation and Dub Issues
While some translations may use "Hannibal" as the english spelling for his name, this is wrong. The name Hannibal in Japanese would be written like this: ハンニバル(hannibaru) while Hannyabal's name appears in the manga as ハンニャバル(hannyabaru) a clear combination of both Hannibal and Hannya which is ハンニャ.
