History

Originally born in the early eighteen hundreds, Henry Alexander was the only child to a wealthy family in Western Europe. His father, the nephew to an English Lord, was a generous man who always told him to think with a sharp mind, and live with a stout heart. It was from his father that Henry learned to love. His mother, an equally wonderful woman, tragically died of consumption when he as fifteen and after that time, Henry's father slowly spiraled downward. Taking the bottle as his friend, between semesters at school Henry watched his once proud and respectable father become a drunkard with a fixation on cheap women and gambling tables. It was another eight years before his father finally drank himself to death. In that time, Henry swore to never love a woman unless it was completely and entirely. Though his father ended his life with many regrets, it taught Henry one valuable lesson: that nothing is so terrible as a life with no love.

Dedicating himself to the study of mechanics, engineering and architecture, Henry discovered his passion for creating and designing. It was something remarkable to him, to start with a blank scrap of paper and finish with a masterpiece. The potential of each paper was enchanting and the beauty of each individual brush stroke was almost unbearable. And yet...to have no one to share such beauty with? Truly a tragic life.

Finding himself in the modern world, at first, was the most horrifying experience. But slowly, over time, Henry, now called Hank, took to the new world the call New York and began to see that here, now, in this time, people were not bound to the social constraints as they were in his own time. Perhaps now he could live the life his father demonstrated: thinking with a sharp mind and living with a stout heart.
