[edit] Description
Formerly a space shuttle engineer for NASA, Henry is a jack-of-all-trades in the true sense of the word. He's the local mechanic for the town, which he simply does for fun, and is constantly inventing all sorts of devices. His devices tend to explode, malfunction, or otherwise misbehave in the trial stages, so much so in fact that any strange occurrence is usually attributed to him.
Aside from his mechanic job, he also performs most of the civil service jobs for the police department. He acts as both a forensic investigator and the coroner for Eureka, but he seems to have a new patch designating him as "Ballistics" or "Coroner", depending on the situation or problem at hand. In "H.O.U.S.E. Rules," it was revealed Henry was at some point Nathan Stark's teacher.
He seems to have a small pocket notebook to record anything interesting or groundbreaking that is going on in the show, for example, when the "Figure" is seen on the SARAH video tapes.
In the final moments of "Purple Haze", Henry makes an announcement during a town meeting that leaves Jack Carter and Allison Blake stunned — he has decided that it is time for him to leave Eureka.
