Hans is the servant of Duke Horacio[1] and can be found walking in circles around the Lumbridge Castle courtyard. He is easily scared, screaming and running away in fright when threatened.[2] He can tell players how old their accounts are or how long they've spent online by talking to him.
He played a minor role in the 2016 Birthday event, where he witnessed a seagull take a gnome child's hat. He also played a minor role in the 2018 Christmas event, where he was one of the recipients of a gift from Duke Horacio. He is given a chair from the Duke's room, which he takes in relief, having spent many years circling the castle without relief.[3][4]
Hans can also be spoken to by selecting "random contact" on the NPC Contact spell. If Hans is contacted, your character will claim you are a knight coming to kill everyone in Lumbridge Castle. Hans panics in response.

- Hans was the first non-player character created in RuneScape[5].
- When running scared he can be lured out of the castle walls as far as the entrance of the H.A.M. Hideout.
- Hans may be a pun about time, as his name resembles "hands" (as in the hands of a clock), he runs clockwise around Lumbridge castle and tells you how much time you've spent in RuneScape
- Hans walks around Lumbridge castle clockwise where it takes him exactly 1 minute to complete a lap, this resembles the second hand on a clock needing exactly one minute to fully rotate.
