Character from The Last of Us by Naughty Dog
A young man in Pittsburgh who sold out a resistance leader to save his little brother Sam — and killed himself when saving Sam turned out to be temporary.
Henry is the Part I character who mirrors Joel most directly — a man who will sacrifice anything for the child in his care. He betrayed the Hartford resistance leader to the Hunters to get medicine for Sam, which makes him a traitor and a good brother in the same act. He allies with Joel and Ellie through Pittsburgh because survival math favors numbers. His death — shooting himself after Sam turns overnight — is the series' most abrupt and devastating moment. One second he's alive, the next he isn't. There's no buildup, no dramatic music, just a gunshot and silence. It's the game's clearest statement that this world doesn't do dramatic deaths. It does sudden, ugly ones. The HBO series relocated him to Kansas City and expanded his story, but the core remains: a brother who did everything right and lost anyway.
Young and lean with dark skin and anxious, intelligent eyes. He carries himself with the coiled energy of someone constantly calculating escape routes. He wears civilian clothes and moves quietly.
