Hannibal Chau (New Earth-Forty Two)

Early Life
Hannibal Chau's early life is largely unknown and it is also unknown if Hannibal Chau is his real name. Chau claims that he is the son of a British businessman who impregnated his Chinese mother, while on a business trip. Chau's father would leave Hong Kong before Chau's birth in 1952, leaving Chau to be raised by his mother.

At the young age of 10, Chau turned to a life of crime to pay for his mother and his schooling, often working as spy for Triads. Chau would use the money he made to get a good education, due to his belief that the smarter he was the easier it would be to make more money.

Chau would eventually learn of the existence of Kaiju in 1970, after learning rumors from the underground about an island full of strange creatures discovered by a Japanese organization known as Monarch. Chau after learning this became very interested in the organization, which lead to him studying biology in an attempt to infiltrate the organization.

Chau would eventually would succeed in joining the organization and would set himself up as one of its top scientist.

Project: Dragon Scales-1979
Due to his position as one of Monarch's top scientists, Chau was asked to take part in a secret Project started by the then Monarch superiors. The Project would end when terrorists attacked the lab, where the project was taking place. The attack cause the Head Scientist for the Project, Doctor Genshiro Shiragami to leave the project, due to the terrorists killing his daughter during the attack. The attack would also bring the secret project to the attention of Director Yamane, who had the Monarch superiors arrest for practicing illegal experimentation and had Doctor Shiragami removed from Monarch. Chau managed to avoid being removed from Monarch, but was forced to hide his real intentions for a little bit longer.
