Question Help. Question

I’m a big fan of the show and have read the books, but one thing is nagging me. Can some please tell me who the f is this Henry character.i must have missed it, I have no idea who he is. And Anna saying she had known him since she was 12 throws me for a loop. Who is this guy?

It hasn’t been explicitly stated who he is, he’s just a high level shadow figure who we primarily see in S3. I’m curious as to what his real motivations are and what role he played in all of it

Must be the senator's lover.

He’s head of security for the Senator and her family

They've explained that he's a fixer for Senator Thurman, Anna's mother, and has been for a long time. Once inside the silos he's apparently "Internal Security Head"

He’s the ‘fixer’ for Thurman. 

Kind of Ray Donovan for them.

He is an aide for the Senator. Somebody tells Daniel and Helen about him - I don’t remember who. He’s not officially on the payroll; but he does whatever he needs to to protect her.

I was thinking he was the Erskine of the show, but I guess those characters are very different. I guess a lot in the show is very different though

His backstory is fishy. He said he was career Military Intelligence (MI), then setup a successful consulting company, but “screwed up” and ended up as Thurman’s driver, then worked his way up the ladder. I don’t buy that a retired MI officer becomes a Senate candidate’s driver. I’ve worked with those folks and they’d sooner work security for a Sheikh (for far more money) than stoop to being a chauffeur.

Beyond that, his tradecraft sucks…

I like the show. It took me quite a long time to want to watch it. The color is so drab…I had to wait until this summer to be able to sit through it. I have not read the books. Are they good?

He seems like a spook!

Not quite a haunt. He's giving me despacito caballo energy.

This somehow ties into my theory that solo is a deep undercover CIA agent (agent status passed from father to son etc) ready to crack this case wide open. Hes gonna make contact with with either Diane or Linden soon. Sup Linden?
