Appearance & Personality & Background: Henry is a good size man that is very strong. He can often put people off with his imposing physical stature.
This also has the affect of making people severly underestimate his extreme intellect. Henry grew up in London and shot to the top of his class. He graduated secondary school and went on to study at Oxford where he received his BA and MSt in Archeology. Henry also played on the Oxford Footbal team and swam on the swim team.
.
Between his BA degree and going to graduate classes, Henry went to Cairo, Egypt and met Dr. Reisner who was working in the Giza strip. The doctor taught a lot to Henry over the next few years, including a desire to learn the language where you are working, to respect the land and the ancient sites, record your findings with photography and to protect yourself. Dr. Reisner was the pioneer in archeology photography.
Henry learned to shoot a pistol and now always travels with one.
.
In 1900 he went back to Oxford to get his masters. While in the graduate program he worked with Sir Evans in Crete where he made his most famous discoveries.
.
Instead of going on to get his doctorate he instead got a job with the University of Liverpool School of Archaeology and Egyptology.
He was given a grant and spent the majority of his time in the field working in Pompeii near Naples, Italy, and finally in Jerusalem where Henry planned to make his own great discovery instead of working on older previously discovered sites.
.
But Jerusalem turned out to be his worst disaster ever. He was unable to uncover anything of significance and in 1910 the University of Liverpool recalled his grant
and forced him to spend more time teaching in the classroom until he could make a case for spending more money on a new exploration mission.
.
Henry is very out going and generally cheeful. His below average looks he often makes up for with his size, athletic body and intelligence. If he gets into situations where
people don't want to cooperate, he is not against using his size to intimidate people into doing what he wants.
.
Ever since Jerusalem, Henry is constantly 2nd guessing himself and if he isn't sure on something he will usually back down and concede to someone else.
.
Henry has done archeology work in several countries including:
Assisted Sir Arthur Evans in the escavation of the Palace of Knossos on the Island of Crete
Visted Greece and the ruins in Athens while on the escavation
Worked with Dr. Reisner at Giza, near Cairo Egypt
Naples Italy where he worked in the city of Pompeii. He also spent time visiting a lot of Italy and Roman Empire remains.
Jerusalem of the Ottoman Empire
