Description: This man is bedraggled and starved. He wears yellow leather gloves, a yellow jacket, and tight pants. His black hair is well kept and his bushy mustache is tapered upwards at the ends. His skin is flawless and his blue eyes scan people very quickly.

Personality: He is erratic and paranoid. He believes dire rats are coming to abduct people. He is used to getting what he wants. In part because he is a meticulous planner.

History: He was born to loving parents in a slum to the west. When he was little, his rather wealthy family often ventured across the forest to a summer home near a large cave. He would wander through that large cave and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and he was stranded inside. His family spent the next few days looking for him, and could only assume he was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the forest due to the painful memories there. Henry took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up quarterstaff and armor he uses now. He has taken up leadership of the village's small militia in response to dire rats demanding more tribute than usual.

Motivation: Many dire rats want him driven away; and several ex partners dislike his way of doing things and want revenge
