## Biography

### Early Life

#### Childhood

Henry Murdoch was born on August 17th 1897 in Scotland to an average family, a couple years after he was born his parents had his younger sister, Mary Murdoch. Growing up Henry was very protective over his younger sister, getting into fights to get people off her back and more, due to this Henry and Mary were very close, almost inseparable.

Over the years especially once when they became teenagers slowly they started to grow more apart as their inserts changed and society’s expectations became more heavily enforced upon them. Henry had also started helping out on the family’s farm, working most hours of the day and coming home during the night. That and around the time Henry was about to turn 16 the war started, none of the family had experienced anything of the sort before but were lucky to be located in a rural area of Scotland.

#### The War!

A day after his 18th birthday Henry travelled to the local recruitment office and enlisted in the military. His training started within the month and around 23rd of September his section was deployed, the section had been specially trained as pilots since a lot of the men had experience operating large machinery as most of them came from working on farms and the like much like how Henry had.

Over the next 3 years, Henry and the rest of his section got close and would often go out for drinks when not on duty. As with every war there were deaths and Henry’s section was no different, before his death at least 5 of the other men had died. Each time they had a small memorial for their lost friend, with drinks to celebrate the life lost. Their last deployment had them flying over England to stop enemy planes from reaching the United Kingdom, as he flew over England Henry’s plane was shot and he started to crash.

#### Rest In Pieces.

Henry’s plane started crashing just as he was passing over Button House, radio in hand calling for help as his plane finally crashed into the house splitting him through the torso. Even after that it took him a while to die and when he finally did he was met with the other ghosts residing in the house. Mary, Robin, Lady Button, Kitty, Thomas and Humphrey, the Lady Button was furious that he’d destroyed her home, whereas everyone else were trying to explain to him what happened.

Over the years more ghosts joined them, The Captain, Pat, Julian and the newest edition was a young teen called Callaghan. He was the last before a new couple moved into the house, Alison and Mike. Julian the only ghost who could move objects in the living world pushed her out the window suddenly she could see all of them meaning Henry no longer needed to manipulate the radio to communicate.

## Personality

Henry Murdoch is still quite young so, he remained somewhat immature even through death. Although he tries to be serious when around the Captain but that never goes well.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Radio wave manipulation:** Like some of the ghosts Henry does have some abilities to manipulate the living world, in his case he can manipulate old radios specifically those existing between 1910-20. His ability allows him to be able to communicate with the living world by manipulating the radio waves much how a spirit box works.

### Abilities

* **Pilot:** Since he joined the miltary, Henry was trained as a pilot and a brillant one at that. He flew with his squad for 3 years before his death.

#### Weaknesses

* **Radio Feddback:** Due to his ability, Henry is prone to getting feedback when he exherts his ability.
* **Half A Body:** How Henry died resulted in his ghost form being in two separate pieces. His upper half, and his lower half which tends to wander around the house until it finds his upper half. When his body is separate, Callaghan either carries him around or he walks on his hands.

## Equipment

* **Pilot Jacket:** Since he died still in his pilots uniform, Henry's ghost continues to possess his aviator jacket that the Military supplied to him when he joined.
