=== Early Life ===
Born in 1993, Essen North Rine-Westphalia, Henry was formally introduced to the world of the supernatural at a young age while living in a stigmatized property with his parents in Paderborn. Haunted by ghostly visages and playful spirits, he would eventually adapt and become renowned as an eccentric trickster due to his childish antics and passivity during his school life.
Eventually graduating from the University of Duisburg-Essen in Computer sciences and Applied Cognitive Sciences, his family would travel to Dearborn Michigan shortly after his grandmothers passing. Picking up a gig as a rookie journalist, Henry would begin to investigate paranormal phenomenon as a hobby alongside a fellow coworker Laurele Franten, a professional ghost hunter working for the Ghost Hunters Corp.
The two inevitably bonding over their shared interest, Laurele would introduce Henry to the group before accompanying them on a live investigation to the Prague Last Rest Cemetery. During a short interview, the group would be attacked on route to the crypt by an invisible force and separating Henry with the Neutrino Specialist Jacob Temple in the lower catacombs.
Forced to navigate the labyrinthian tunnels and neutralizing the entity, the two worked together in escaping back to the truck and coordinating a way to trap and exorcise the ghost by rigging a salt shotgun to a motion sensor. With Henry as decoy and Jacob in pursuit, the two barely evadr capture and managing to exorcise the ghost, returning from the graveyard to find their colleagues having been critically injured and Laurele dead.
With a majority of the groups members leaving and later disbanding shortly after, Henry devastated over the loss of his friend would go on to frequent paranormal hotspots in search of a new calling. Despite being offered a position in the reformed Ghost Exorcism Inc. now led by Jacob, Henry would take an open position in the Fairly Normal Inspectors after the groups exorcist had been injured on the job prior.
