Nice to be remembered.
— Antony to Hannibal Lecter

Antony Dimmond[note 1] is a victim of Hannibal Lecter and an acquaintance of Dr. Roman Fell, the former curator of the Capponi Library in Florence, Italy. Dimmond previously worked as a teaching assistant for Fell at Cambridge.

Appearances[]

Dimmond is introduced in the season 3 episode "Antipasto". Inquiring after Roman Fell at a social gathering in Paris, he meets Lecter (currently using the name Boris Jakov) and shares his disdainful opinion of Dr. Fell's work with him.

Months later, Dimmond runs into Lecter again in Florence, who invites him to dinner at his and Bedelia's apartment. When he reveals he's traveling alone, Lecter tells him about the lecture on Dante being delivered by "Dr. Fell" (in reality, Lecter under an alias) the coming Friday.

Dimmond attends the lecture and subsequently realizes what Lecter has done, but approaches him afterward to inform him that he doesn't intend to report him to the Polizia, instead proposing a relationship of "mutual benefit".[ref 1] Lecter takes Dimmond back to his apartment, where he beats him over the head with a bust and snaps his neck, killing him. Later, he mutilates and arranges Dimmond's corpse to resemble a broken heart for Will Graham to find in the Cappella Palatina in Palermo, Italy.

Notes[]

  1. Anthony is a 17th-century variant of the older name Antony. In the script, Dimmond's name is spelled without the h.
