Henry Caputo

**Henry Caputo** is one of the two main protagonists of *Wolves' Dens*, alongside Aya Narukami. Henry initially grew up to Italian immigrant parents in New York City, but his family relocated to Detroit, Michigan when he was 4. He became an orphan by 18 when his parents were killed in a car crash. He joined the Romano Crime Family after becoming their drug courier by the age of 20, eventually rising up to the rank of caporegime. However, when he became disillusioned by the mafia by late 2005 due to their constant reckless behaviors, he took some of their money and fled, narrowly surviving a chase. After this, he relocated to Santa Elena, California to start anew, eventually getting back into the criminal life, meeting Asian garage owner and fellow criminal Aya Narukami.

## History

### Background

Henry Caputo was born in New York City circa 1976 to two Italian immigrant parents. He was raised in New York City until he turned 4. Eventually, his parents moved to Detroit, Michigan to live more cheaper. According to Henry, he had lost his virginity to a teenaged Russian tourist during a brief fling when he was 16 years old. Henry grew up in Detroit from then on, but he became orphaned when his parents were killed in a car accident at the age of 18. Henry then had to fend for himself on the cold streets, eventually becoming involved with the Romano Crime Family when he was hired briefly to deliver a package to another person, eventually becoming a marijuana drug runner by the age of 20. He kept this job for three years until he was officially inducted into the family, starting off as a soldato.

Over the years, he rose up to the rank of caporegime, becoming a trusted soldier. However, by winter of 2005, when he witnessed the family beginning to act more recklessly, such as murdering innocent people randomly and delivering strong drugs that would land him in a federal prison for life. With this, Henry decided to steal as much money as he could from the family and ditch town. However, he was caught up to and was chased out of town. Due to the winter conditions as well as the constant gunfire, Henry crashed his car into a tree, getting knocked out. The thugs assumed that the crash had killed him and they left his body. Once the coast was clear, Henry recovered and abandoned his car, running away towards a small lit-up town in the winter storm.

Over the course of a few months, Henry had drifted and moved across towns and states, winding up in the west. He had stayed in Crow Point, Colorado, Sante Fe, New Mexico, Kingman, Arizona, Las Vegas, Nevada, and lastly, Bend, Oregon. He ultimately then heard of another place in California that sounded promising.

### Events of Wolves’ Dens

After six months of drifting, Henry flew into the city of Santa Elena, taking in the sights of the city, with locals referring to it as "our own little slice of San Francisco if it fucked Hollywood in the ass and blew Redding off," much to Henry's bewilderment.

### Events of Wolves’ Dens 3

Henry does not physically appear in *Wolves' Dens 3*, but he is mentioned by Momo, who had referenced him as her "old boss and business partner." She mentions that he still lives in Santa Elena and still runs business there.

### Events of Wolves’ Dens 8

Nearly 40 years later, Henry was tracked down by British criminal Alex Cayman in Santa Elena after hearing about him through criminal underworld ties, who wished to get his expertise in handling counterfeiting and racketeering. Henry tried to send Alex away, denying his involvement in anything related to that while also proclaiming that he is retired. After Alex showed much persistence and later threatened into allowing him inside of his home or he would burn it down and kidnap him, Henry relented, much to his anger. Henry then gave Alex some advice, but warned him that he has retired and his son had taken over his businesses. After spending a day discussing the past together, Henry finally agreed to accompany Alex to the Island States of America after he realized that he was unfulfilled by his retired life. Since then on, Henry took up a new residence in Blue Point, New Dorado, a quiet sequoia forest town. Henry later told his son that he has left town and may not come back, stating that everything belonged to him now.

### Death

By 2045, Henry's health took a toll due to his age and his unhealthy lifestyle in the past, having been diagnosed with lung cancer. Alex, Trayvon "Tray" Roberts, Morgan Duncan, Elena Sanchez, Charlotte "Charlie" Jenkins, and Savannah Wolf looked after Henry during his final days. After the Battle of San Francesca Bay, Alex returned to Henry's home in Bluepoint, only to find Henry sitting in his chair, looking out towards Mount Sienna. Alex attempted to get Henry's attention, but with no response. He then approached him, but when he moved him, Henry was limp. After checking his pulse, Alex realized that Henry had passed away not too long after the battle. Alex reached out to the others and had arranged a funeral for Henry back in Santa Elena. Alex, Tray, Morgan, Elena, Charlie, Savannah, Momo, his son Ryan, Sean and Rico Lopez, Paul Brown, Jack Proctor, Drew Williams, Amir White, and Hassan Patel attended the funeral.
