## Biography

### Childhood

Henry Han Kener was born in the prestigious town of Princeton, New Jersey. At the age of 8, Henry became interested in the profession of Archaeology from one of his father’s good friend, Professor Guass, who worked at Princeton University in New Jersey. On February 12, 1910, Henry met his youngest brother, Philip, for the first time. While in the 4th grade, Henry participated in a spelling bee, which he remembered being a lot more intimidating than it should be. At age of 13, Henry and his younger brother, Rufus, had gone to a shooting range with their father and he learned how to fire a rifle, with Rufus starting to get interested in collecting weaponry.

### Adolescence

On April 28, 1917 at the age of 17 going on 18, Henry was drafted into World War 1 and put onto the battlefield. Henry would proudly fight for his country with courage until at dawn on September 21, 1917 when he saw his friend he made in boot camp get shot to death in front of him. It flipped a switch in him from courage to rage and he killed over 300+ Ottoman soldiers from 1917 to 1918. And on November 26, 1918, the war was over and Henry had made it back home to his friends and family as they rejoiced in a welcome home barbecue cookout.

### Adulthood

Henry resumed his dream of being an Archaeologist and in 1921, was able to get a position as a Professor at Princeton University with the help of Professor Gauss. At the same time Henry's 11 year old brother, Philip, had also taken an interest to Archaeology too. During a dig site in Venice that same year, Henry met Heidi Silva, a new Brazilian Professor of Princeton University. Henry was instantly smitten but the same couldn't be said for her, to her he was an annoyance, until Valentine's Day, 1922. Henry had finally convinced her that they should go on one date and if she didn't enjoy it, he wouldn't talk to her again. Fortunately for both, they actually hit it off and proceeded to go on 2 more dates until August 9, 1923, where they decided to get married. Henry and Heidi had a child together that they kept a secret, Ronnie Kener, and it seemed everything was alright with them going on many adventures until the year 1927 when Heidi and Henry were on an adventure to obtain The Dead Sea Scrolls. Heidi had got stuck in a hidden cave next to the Dead Sea, Henry spent days trying to find her and he did, she suffered from starvation and ultimately drowned due to rising sea levels. Henry had so much regret that he quit his job as an Archaeologist and fell into deep depression. Him and his son, Ronnie, then moved up to Maine and lived their for at least 3 years. Ronny had soon began to develop an interest to Archaeology and helped get his dad's life back on track. On October 4, 1930, Henry regained his profession at Princeton University, this time with his brother Philip, who was a student, and was better than ever. With Ronnie on his side they were unstoppable, they accumulated over 30+ artifacts from 1931 to 1934.

On December 14, 1934, Henry and Ronnie where hired by Professor Gauss to obtain The real Crown of Thorns as Hitler has taken an interest in the religious artifact, Crown of Thorns, to gain eternal life. Henry decided that Ronnie would be much safer back home, so Henry headed off to the dig site in Jerusalem only to find that Nazis have already set camp. General Ikintosh, Russian Nazi, soon discovered Henry sneaking around and had tied him up for questioning. Word soon spread to Professor Gauss about Henry's kidnapping, and so had Ronnie hire a helicopter pilot. Gauss then sent Henry's younger brothers, Philip, a student at Princeton, and Rufus, a gun-loving cowboy, with Ronnie to save Henry and retrieve the Crown of Thorns. They succeed in stopping the Nazis and saving Henry, but they ultimately lose the Crown of Thorns in the process.
