Henry Creel, also known as 001, One and Vecna, is a character from the Stranger Things series.
== Charactah Account ==
The psychopathic, deeply misanthropic son of Victor Creel. When Henry discovered his psychic powers, he used them to torment and murder his family.
Henry was soon discovered by Dr Brenner and became the first in a series of psychic children gathered by Hawkins National Lab, being designated 001. Decades later, Henry/One massacred nearly everyone at the lab before being overpowered and banished to the Upside Down by Eleven.
As a result, Henry's body was hideously disfigured and mutated thereby turning him into the creature ultimately dubbed "Vecna" by the Party. Now, years after his banishment to the Upside Down, Vecna has begun killing teenagers seemingly at random, with Max being his latest target.

== Trivia ==
* The Duffer Brothers told the writers of the Stranger Things comics that they could explore the other Hawkins Lab test subjects, but that they had to “stay away from One”.
* Vecna is the third character in Stranger Things to be nicknamed after a character from D&D, following the Demogorgon and the Mind Flayer.
** Vecna wasn't added to D&D lore as a character until 1989. However, two artifacts, the Eye and the Hand of Vecna were added in 1976. They were described as being the remains of a powerful Lich, providing a source for his name within the show's timeline.
* In the build-up to "Papa" and "The Piggyback"’s release, the Stranger Things social media accounts posted a photograph showing 1979-style Henry Creel, dressed in his orderly attire, standing in one of the Nina Project corridors. This is strange, since Henry never set foot at the Nina facility at any point in the story.
* Henry’s orderly outfit and overall demeanor is reminiscent of Alex from Stanley Kubrick’s “A Clockwork Orange”.
** In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Jamie Campbell Bower mentioned that he wanted to bring a “Kubrickian stare” to the role.
** ”A Clockwork Orange” was released in 1971, with the orderly version of Henry appearing the same decade, in 1979.
* Jamie Campbell Bower listened to death metal bands like Sunn 0))), Darkthrone and Mayhem to help him get into character.
* By the time the Stranger Things crew had to film Chrissy Cunningham's first hallucination in the girls' bathroom, Vecna's prosthetic was still being finalized. As a result, Grace Van Dien had to react to "the ugliest shoes" on-set - deemed to be a muddy pair of boots - instead of Vecna's feet, which were digitally replaced at a later stage.
* It is currently unknown what - if any - relationship Henry may have had with Kali Prasad. It is assumed that she would have been killed in his massacre of the test subjects had she not escaped; since Henry's status as One didn't appear to be common knowledge, she likely didn’t consider him a "sibling" as she did with Eleven.
