Biography
After the young Dagon Myu was abducted by members of Freidhof while in the custody of Fuhren's guards, Hajime Nagumo and his companions attacked their hideouts in order to rescue her. Hansen learned about this attacks while in his office, and was furious at the fact that his entire criminal organization was being wiped out by a small group of people. He ordered his men to capture and torture them as a way to make an example. Before they could, however, his office was under attack by Hajime's companions Shea and Tio. Shea blasted the doors to Hansen's office open using her war hammer "Drucken". Hansen tried to persuade the two women into surrendering, but Shea immediately responded by hitting him with a shotgun blast from Drucken in its transformed state. The attack caused Hansen to lose his right arm and bleed out heavily. Tio then used her fire attacks to kill the rest of the residents in the building while Shea tortured Hansen with her hammer until he gave up Myu's location, to which she then told Hajime via Telepathy. As Hansen was begging for help, Shea mercilessly killed him by striking him with her hammer.

Quotes

 * (To his subordinates): "Listen good, you lowlifes! I want those fuckers brought to me alive. Cut their legs off, break their arms, I don’t care, but I want them alive. At this rate Freidhof’s reputation will be ruined. We’ve gotta torture those fools to make an example out of them, or we’ll be the laughingstock of the city. I’ll give five million Luta to anyone who captures them! Five million per head! Tell everyone else about the bounty!"

Trivia

 * Hansen's role in the anime is different than in the light novel and manga. In each version, he is the leader of Freidhof, but in the light novel and manga, he first appears after Hajime and his companions attack his organization in order to rescue Myu, and is killed by Shea after she breaks into his office. He is given a larger role in the anime, as he oversees Myu's imprisonment and attempts to auction her off before he is killed by Hajime with three bullets to his head.
