Hank was described as a jock in high school, and had a fixation on sport cars. His high energy and boisterous nature eventually led him to pursue a living in the DEA, where he would gradually work through the ranks to become the supervisor of all investigations handled by his Albuquerque office, under the watchful eye of ASAC George Merkert (Michael Shamus Wiles). Underneath his outward 'tough as nails' demeanor, he is shown to be struggling with some of his own vulnerabilities; he had cold feet when it came to marrying his wife, Marie, as well as suffering from PTSD and an explosive temper. He often attempts to hide these vulnerabilities, however, for fear of having his public image weakened.
Hank often uses racist and derogatory terms to describe Mexicans and Mexican Americans. These instances are sometimes subtle, as he equates his shoot-out with Tuco Salamanca with stomping on a "roach" that came from under a refrigerator. However, he is not portrayed as a very prejudiced individual, as he has a kind of brotherly connection with his partner, Steven Gomez, whom Hank nicknames "Gomie". Gomez is a Mexican-American, and he does not seem to outwardly mind Hank's insensitive belittling of people of Mexican heritage.
Nevertheless, he is shown to be a fiercely noble man, willing to risk everything if it means being morally correct. As a hobby, Hank home brews his own beer, which he calls Schraderbrau. He is also seen in several season four episodes collecting minerals, much to Marie's chagrin.
