The cigar chomping leader of the A-Team was forever "on the jazz" (meaning he loved the adrenaline of action). He just loved to play it tough and cocky to the biggest bad guy. Named after the Carthaginian general who almost destroyed the Roman Empire 2200 years ago. Like his namesake, Hannibal is a master tactician, but his plans never quite turned out as they were supposed to. According to Amy Allen, "Hannibal's plans never work like they're supposed to, they just work".
Hannibal was also famed for his "mastery" of disguise - usually involving a wig and a pair of false teeth, that any person with some semblance of vision could have seen through. Nethertheless he was man the Team revolved around and after every successful victory he would utter his infamous catchphrase, "I just love it when a plan comes together!".
