Henry Fitzgerald (August 19th 1971) is a Ventian business owner who lives in the small town of Wallowa, Ontario.

## Appearance

A moderately tall man with white skin and green, worn out and tired eyes. He has rosy cheeks with brown brushed-over hair. He has been described as an anachronism for his time, with his dress and appearance and temperment reflecting a bygone era.

## Personality

Henry is naturally adventurous, with an immense sense of wanderlust. He was considered a free-spirited and wild young boy, but after an unknown incident in the 1980s with his father, he has lost interest in such things. This personality, however, was inherited by his son Stanford. Now, he is a tempermental and often angry man, who takes his frustrations out on his two sons, Stanford and Daniel, the former of which he often verbally abues, and the latter of which he neglects. He dotes upon his eldest daughter, Jolie.

## Young Life

Henry Fitzgerald was born in Wallowa in 1971 and is the older brother of Randy Fitzgerald. He and his brother would often explore the local woods and bury treasure pretending to be pirates. The two gained a reputation for causing trouble in the local town, setting mousetraps or noisemakers to scare pedestrians or building small forts in the woods and sword-fighting with their friends. He gave this up at age 14 to start working at a local mechanic shop to save money and help his family through financial matters. While working, he met Ann Lee (his future wife) and her boyfriend at the time, a boy named Ethan Allan, after she crashed into a nearby stop sign. He offered to work on her car for free and invited her to get lunch at the local diner, but the two parted ways for the time being. In 1987, his younger brother Randy invited him to embark on an amateur adventure to the nearby Wallowa Lake, as he and some other friends had discovered numerous old documents talking about something buried near the shoreline. At first, he declined the proposal, opting instead to work at the mechanics, but after some continuous pestering by his brother, he agreed to accompany them. The group followed a trail of clues and artifacts that they uncovered at numerous long-forgotten cabins in the woods, and ended up following them to a supposed buried treasure spot on a small island at the center of Wallowa Lake. After digging at the spot, however, they discovered the half-decayed remains of two murder victims that had been buried decades before. Unbeknownst to them, they had accidentally solved the Maes & McCoy Case. Instead of being honored, however, he was chastised by the police for the group's amateur sleuthing, which destroyed and tampered with decades of evidence that could've led to the killer, and he was harshly beaten by his father Franklin, due to having lost his job at the mechanics for skipping his shifts. He never attempted to go on any adventures again. The only good thing that came from the escapade was his relationship with Ann, which developed over the course of the week-long journey.

## Adult Life

Henry left home to attend Royal Crown College, getting a degree in business and going on to work for The Splix Corporation as a salesman in their Citadel City branch, and in 1996, he married his high school sweetheart Ann. Around this time, the two also decided to move back to their hometown of Wallowa. where they both used their savings to buy an old tailor's shop and convert it into a general store. The two would go on to have 3 children, Jolie, Stanford, and Daniel, and the family lived in general tranquility for many years. This was, until about 2013, when Henry and his wife began to go through a rough spot in their marriage, and after going to a marriage counselor in Victoria Falls, they were instructed to spend more time with each other as opposed to their children. The two agreed to attempt to rekindle their youthful love for each other and left for a months-long journey through Europe, leaving their children in the care of their eldest daughter, who was recently accepted into college. She thus remained in custody of the two pre-teens for a less than two months, before switching care to their uncle Randy. Randy, thoroughly uninterested in being a parent, declared the two legally independent, and ran away to Nevada. It would not be until halfway through his son's junior year that Henry would return, which would split the family once again.
