Yes, he had a wife and her name was Imilce, but it is unknown if he had any children.
No, Hannibal Lecter is a fictional character. Richard Harris, the author of the 'Hannibal' novels, has never stated publicly on whom, if anyone, Hannibal is based. Many have speculated who it might be based on crimes committed using similar methods of operation.
Hannibal Lecter was raised in Lecter castle in Lithuania. The Novel 'Hannibal Rising' starts in 1941 when Hannibal was 8 years old. It is not mentioned if he was born there but he is of Lithuanian and Italian decent.
That was a fictional character in Red Dragon and Silence of the lambs named Hannibal Lecter.
That honor would probably go to Hannibal Lector, Hannibal the Cannibal, from the book and movie Silence of the Lambs.
