How are you doing, Professor? Would you care to join me for a cup of tea?

It occurs to me that, whenever we chat, I have a tendency to pester you with my questions and theories about your history...

Hanneman

It seems only fair to speak on the topic of myself for once.

Hanneman

And perhaps you might feel more positively inclined toward my research, if I shared my own story.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Not at all. I am quite honest in my motivations.

Hanneman

I am quite pleased to hear you're interested. Yes, quite pleased.

Well... I suppose I should begin at the beginning, eh?

Hanneman

I was born into a noble house of the Empire. Not a large house, mind you. But noble all the same.

Our land holdings were small, but our bloodline was quite strong.

So, as you can imagine, there were many of us in the family who carried the power of Crests. I, myself, bear a Minor Crest.

Our family's abundance of Crests may be part of the reason I've been interested in the topic since I was just a boy.

I dedicated myself to my studies, and after years of effort, I became lead Crest scholar at the Empire's largest research institution.

I had only Imperial blood, and thus Imperial Crests, at my disposal in the Empire.

Hanneman

My research is more important than social standing in the Empire. There I had only Imperial blood, and thus Imperial Crests, at hand.

So I came to Garreg Mach and devoted myself to my research during my time as a professor.
link
Hanneman

My progress is slow, but with each revelation, I move ever closer to the answers I have sought for decades.

Hanneman
volume_up

Your cooperation as the bearer of the Crest of Flames ensures my research will continue to advance.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

In fact, it may bring me ever closer to the goal of uncovering everything there is to know about Crests.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

I do hope you shall continue helping me advance in this field of study.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Together, we will solve the mystery of your Crest of Flames, and our world will be the better for it.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Shall we proceed? My lab instruments are fully prepared.

Hanneman

I have a great number of tests I am excited to carry out... No, no, don't worry. They won't hurt one bit.
