A photographer with a bit of a voyeurism fetish, Henry wakes up one morning to find that he's been trapped in his own apartment.Henry is number 21 of the 21 Sacraments, "The Receiver of Wisdom", the final stage of Walter's ritual to "awaken his mother".
Henry is infamous for "What the hell?", even though he says it only four times throughout the game, or (for those keeping track at home) only one fewer time than Harry Mason describes his daughter to people as "just turned seven last month, short, black hair" And, one presumes, this is only because he ran out of people to ask.
Shrinking Violet: Henry is mentioned by the others as very shy, so it's not seen to be too strange when he doesn't emerge from his apartment for days on end.
Stalker with a Crush: The apartment seems to taunt Henry's inclinations in this direction. The previous occupant, Joeseph Schreiber, was made aware of the peephole into Eileen's apartment before he died.
The Stoic: Whatever emotions Henry may have, he certainly doesn't express them very strongly, leading to many Dull Surprises.
Eileen Galvin
Henry's next-door neighbor. She's upbeat and perky.Of the 21 Sacraments, she is "The Mother Reborn". She should have been killed by Walter, but he was stopped by the mysterious boy (Young Walter). She still suffered many injuries and was sent to the hospital, but ended up being sucked into the dark world again; this time, Henry managed to get to her before Walter did, taking her under his care and protection. She cannot die, but she does suffer damage, which affects her survival at the game's end.
Artificial Stupidity: She can be this from a gameplay standpoint. During the extended escort mission, she becomes more or less aggressive depending on what weapon she's holding. This would be fine, if she didn't insist on attacking Walter (who is invincible), which if allowed to go on long enough will result in her damage level skyrocketing as he beats her up. The only way to get her to stop is to take her weapon away, forcing her to follow Henry as closely as possible.
Samaritan Syndrome: Lying on the floor, bleeding to death, with "20121" carved into her back, Eileen's first thought is to speak calmly to the boy and urge him to run away.
Her soft-heartedness toward Little Walter lands her in hot water, later.
A supposedly dead serial killer — so what is he doing still stalking the halls of Ashfield Heights, killing (or attempting to kill) everyone he comes across?
Calling Card: Ripping out hearts and carving numbers into the bodies.
Crucified Hero Shot: Inverted — His corpse is strung up and mounted on a giant metal cross.
Dead All Along: The Walter Sullivan you encounter throughout the game is just a projection. The real Walter's moldering corpse is hidden behind a false wall in Henry's apartment.
Dissonant Serenity: The most laid-back character the series has produced yet.
Dual Wielding: Guns, and that's when he's most annoying.
Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Even serial killer Walter loves his mommy, the apartment you're stuck in. In fact, his love for his mommy is his primary motivation.
Evil Laugh: Attempts to cause Walter injury merely amuse him.
Future Me Scares Me: The scene with Little Walter meeting his future self. Little Walter doesn't quite grasp the implications, but the player does.
He-Man Woman Hater: Has issues with the fairer sex, evidenced by his brutal beatdown of Eileen. Also makes a pastime of mutilating female cadavers, which rise again as scary ol' giantesses.
The Illegible: Walter's personal diary is scattered throughout the Forest area on stones; however, Henry is unable to make out several passages due to the script being very childish and scrawling. Eileen is able to translate them when you return to the Forst area.
Implacable Man: Being that he's a ghost himself, Walter Sullivan absolutely Can. Not. Be. Killed. You can knock him down or pump him full of lead, but he'll always rise back up again.
Shrouded in Myth: Authorities are baffled at how this guy continues killing when he's already dead.
Thanatos Gambit: Walter killed himself after being apprehended. He rose again as ghost and dug up his own corpse, which he then walled up inside Henry's apartment.
Man on Fire: Well, ghost on fire. Victim #17 , Jasper Gein, is ablaze even in (un?)death, because said man set himself on fire as part of the 21 Sacraments.
