==Biography==
Quick, quiet and deadly. Henry is the leader of the CMT's Covert-Squad and rightfully so. He's known to be very loyal towards his allies and is overall a quiet and friendly person who gets along very well with most of other members, though he is known to be rather cold at times. He especially very good friends with Sarah. Amongst his companions, he's highly respected due to his exceptional skills in terms of close-range combat, especially when using knives. 
Henry's past was extremely rough. He grew up in Fingzelin during the Great Recession, and that alone should be enough info to make one fear somebody. The poor living conditions were bad already, but in addition to that, Henry was also was the son of an abusive father who often had beaten his mother up for no reason when he was drunk. His extremely depressed mother on the other hand took pills and all other kinds of drugs. Henry also had a younger sister during that time and both of them suffered from the constant abuse and horrible environment they've had to live in, though the two cared a lot for each other, and always were there for the other. School was also tough for Henry. The other kids had always used to bully and exclude him, mostly since he avoided talking and kept to himself. He only had one friend back then, a girl named Hannah. 
One day, after returning from more humiliations at school, he had to learn the horrible fact that his father had snapped that day, murdering both of his mother and sister with a kitchen knife. To his horror, his father had just been waiting for him to return from school, so he could kill him and eventually himself as well. Henry wasn't having any of that and although getting tackled down by his father and cut in the face, he managed to free himself, rushed to their home weapons locker and shot his own father out of self-defense before the police then showed up due to the neighbours reporting gunshots and screaming. Henry was of course severely traumatized after all of these events, especially because of losing his sister Sally, and had to undergo psychological therapy. During that time, his only friend Hannah had been always there to help and actually cared about him. The two eventually got together when Henry managed to recover, and have even married after graduating and being at a place of work for a few years. Both are currently living happily in Bluelu together with their daughter Kelly.
Henry first worked as a mechanic for "Jolly-Tec", a racing team which took part in global championships and similar. When one day their racer decided to quit their job in the middle of an ongoing an race, Henry had quickly hopped into the car as a spontaneous replacement and had even managed to win. This had led to him becoming a racer for the next years, earning him quite a reputation. After a handful of years on the racing-circuit, he had decided to join the police and worked there for the Traffic Department. He even took part in some iconic highway pursuits.  
When the war broke out, both Henry and his wife Hannah joined the army. While Hannah enlisted herself into the Royal Air Force, Henry became a highly respected tank-commander after managing to hijack an enemy tank on the battlefield to effectively use it against the hostiles themselves. He even met Ethan, Rook, Rose and Dimitri during his military career and quickly became good friends with them, even fighting alongside them during tons of operations. Henry too became a member of the International Taskforce shortly after its foundation. There, he proceeded leading a small armaa of tanks within the InT's Infantry-Wing.
After the war, he had continued working with the police's traffic department but was later offered by Ethan to join the CMT instead. 
He didn't decline.
Although being good friends with Ethan and Co. Henry can still be quite cold and distant towards Ethan himself, although the latter still tries to warm up to him. Despite his often seemingly distant and sometimes even hostile attitude towards Ethan, Henry will still do anything he can to help him out in tough situations, knowing that he can expect the same, due to their time as comrades during the war.
==Squad abilities==
File:Trait Leader.png|Leader: Henry is the leader of the CMT's Covert Squad and will do his best to look after his squadmates.
File:SA Henry.png|Fast Response: Henry posesses remarkable reflexes which allow him to reach ridiculously fast reaction times. However, while being able to detect an approaching bullet in no time, actually dodging one will be far more difficult. Still, this ability has its uses for sure.
==Trivia==
*In Chapter 1, Henry's weapon of choice was a suppressed M4 carbine. However, when working on Chapter 2, Echo Whiskey decided to scrap real-world firearms entirely, opting for fictional weaponry instead. Therfore Henry now uses a modified CAVAL-37 assault rifle as his primary weapon, which he refers to as the "Fallen One".
**Additional equipment of his include throwing knives and a combat knife for close range engagements.
* Henry and his callsign are a nod to the campaign mode of the 2007 first person shooter game "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare".
**In the ninth mission of the game, the player has to advance through a hostile location with the support of an allied tank. That very tank's callsign is "Warpig".
*Originally, Henry's special ability was supposed to be one that would improve his throwing abilities, in order to be even deadlier with throwing knives, This idea was later scrapped during the production of Chapter 1.
