History
In the Southern Mountains, Prince Hans and his brothers prepare to seize the kingdom of Arendelle from Queen Elsa after discovering a cave in the North Valley harbors an urn capable of entrapping a magic user. Thus, he intends to imprison Elsa in the urn and rule Arendelle as king. Before they assemble for attack, Kristoff learns of their plan and reports it to Elsa. The two venture into the North Valley's cave and find the urn, but before it can be destroyed, Hans and three of his brothers surround the pair. Acting quickly, Elsa counters with ice magic, but she gives up the urn when Hans threatens Kristoff's life. In a smug tone, Hans remarks to Elsa that a monster shouldn't rule Arendelle, and he proceeds to uncap the relic. A white liquid pours out, but while all three believe the substance will trap Elsa, the Snow Queen arises from it. Having taken insult to Hans' previous comment, the Snow Queen turns him into an ice statue while the prince's brothers flee. ("Rocky Road")
Ingrid later bring both Hans and the magic urn to the royal castle and hides them in a wardrobe. ("Smash the Mirror")
