NOTE: This article is about Henry from the Novel Trilogy. If you want to see his video game counterpart, please visit this page.
Henry Emily is one of the two overarching protagonists of the Five Nights at Freddy's Novel Trilogy (alongside Michael Brooks). He was the co-founder of Fredbear's Family Diner and its successor, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, alongside his best friend, William Afton. He was also the father of Charlotte and Sammy Emily.
After Charlotte's death at Afton's hands, a grieving Henry built a robot clone of her as a new daughter. After numerous frustrations and a deteriorating sanity surrounding his creation of Charlotte's duplicates, he eventually committed suicide.
==History==
Henry Emily lived in New Harmony, Utah, with his wife, his sister Jenny, and his best friend William Afton. His wife would give birth to twin children in 1983: Charlotte and Sammy. Henry loved both of them dearly, especially Charlotte, and he and William would establish Fredbear's Family Diner, which featured animatronic mascots performed by the duo. Henry, a master inventor, also constructed various toys for her, such as Theodore the rabbit and Stanley the unicorn.
In 1983, while the Emily twins were playing in the diner's costume closet, William, disguised in the Spring Bonnie suit, kidnapped and murdered Charlotte. Her death resulted in the diner being closed down and Henry's wife divorcing him and taking Sammy with her. Henry was grief-stricken by his daughter's death, buying a doll resembling her named Ella and apparently crying with her for two months. Through paranormal means, his agony caused Ella to be imbued with life. Overjoyed, Henry decided to take advantage of this by constructing a robot resembling Charlotte and placing Ella inside her, producing a sentient replica of his daughter. Henry would find solace in the Charlotte robot and go on to create two other duplicates at older ages, despite Jenny's objections and attempts to reason with him.
Henry and William (the latter unaware that Afton killed Charlotte) would move to Hurricane, Utah, and open Freddy Fazbear's Pizza with new animatronic mascots, which Charlotte's duplicate would visit with her friends. Around 1985, one of Charlotte's friends, Michael Brooks, among four other children, was kidnapped and murdered by William in the pizzeria. Although William was arrested, he was never tried as his victims' bodies were never found. After the pizzeria was closed, the people of Hurricane starting accusing Henry for the murders, putting a strain on him mentally.
As Henry constructed Charlotte's final adult body, he began to go mad and become enraged over his misfortunes. Feeling that the adult body was imperfect, he hid it away in one of the four closets in Charlotte's room, which would eventually be obtained by William and reprogrammed into Circus Baby. Eventually in July 1985, Henry's pain overwhelmed him and, after writing a suicide note to Jenny, he would kill himself via being stabbed by an endoskeleton he constructed.
Following his death, Jenny would raise Charlotte herself, who would grow up to eventually uncover his past and confront William and Baby with her friends.
==Appearance==
Henry was a middle-aged man with fair skin and brown hair. He often wore white flannel shirts with dark pants. He also had stubble around his chin. Without the stubble, he closely resembled his best friend William Afton.
