Henry was born out of wedlock, the child of Marie Campbell and George Barrow, a teenage couple in their senior year of high school at Gallows Creek High School. Before his birth, his father George died on the night of September 2nd, 1968, during a prank gone wrong, when Teddy Gallows Jr., together with some friends, staged an attack by the Whistling Man, the persona used by Edward Marshall Mooney, a local serial killer from the 50's who disappeared in the area, to scare their schoolmates at the high school football party they organized. Teddy pursued George to nearby Whistling Point, where the chase victim fell into the river below and drowned. To avoid a scandal, Teddy's influential father, Theodore C. Gallows, covered up the events behind his death and had a fixer, Clive Elforth, destroy evidence, coerce witnesses and officials into changing their testimonies and reports, and fabricate the story that George was a teen delinquent with a history of violence who died after getting drunk and passing out while swimming in a reservoir. His girlfriend Marie, however, had been with him that night and saw George fall down, being convinced that Teddy had pushed him. Marie was subsequently kicked out of home by her parents, who were unable to pressure their daughter into staying quiet due to power the Gallows family held in town, and after finishing high school, she left Gallows Creek, vanishing without a trace, with everyone unaware that George had impregnanted Marie before his death.
Living off the grid for the next 18 years, Henry was raised solely by his mother. Driven by her desire to avenge George and expose the true circumstances behind his death, Marie groomed her son into becoming an combative, stoic, and obedient accomplice for her own purposes. By all accounts, Henry did not exist, neither on any government record or as an actual person with his own opinions or thoughts, besides an obvious bloodthirst, having been trained from the ground up to assist his mother in her plan to kill those involved in the coverup, saving the ones who were part of the prank that killed George for last. While it is unknown whether Henry had killed anyone before their return to Gallows Creek, it was noted by Clive that he noticed a pattern in apparently unrelated murders across the U.S. targeting people he knew from his employment under Theodore Gallows and getting ever closer to Gallows Creek.
On the night of September 2nd, 1987, Henry and Marie, both donning matching outfits and the signature mask of the Whistling Man, descended upon Gallows Creek to exact Marie's revenge upon the town. While Marie targeted the sheriff's office to cut the phone lines and kill Sheriff Matthews, who signed documents with falsified info for the Gallows family, Henry broke into the Infinity Arcade, and waited for an unidentified person to come through the back door, ambushing and presumably murdering them.
Over the next few hours, several people who had some role in the coverup of George's death were targeted, before the mother-son pair moved on to those who were at the party in 1968. What they did not count on was that the town's radio station, KFAM on 189.16 - The Scream, through the efforts of show host Forrest Nash and producer Peggy Weaver, would be providing assistance to emergency callers in lieu of 911.
Just after midnight, Henry was targeting Sandra Sharpe, who found George's body washed up by the river, but ended up changing her story to match Theodore Gallows' new account, that claims that he was found by the reservoir, threatening her with an unaffordable rent for her beloved dance studio if she didn't comply. Sandra quickly noticed the knife-wielding man and fled back to her car in a hurry, losing her keys on the way to the parking lot. Sandra was now hiding out in her vehicle as Henry looked through all the parked cars. Sandra is connected with Forrest and takes his support, asking for assistance in hotwiring the car. If Forrest correctly instructs her, Sandra will be able to drive off back to her studio before Henry can get to her.
At 12:42 a.m., Henry is sent after Maurice Russell, who "killed the story" Marie presented to him about the night George died. After breaking in and entering the second floor, Henry blocked the stairway with some filing cabinets and proceeded to sweep the office for Maurice, who was hiding in the boardroom in the back, on the phone with Forrest for help. If he gives Maurice correct advice, Henry will be tricked into thinking that his victim was hiding in the secret archive room within the editor's office by using a radio tuned in to 189.16. Once he enters, Forrest will make a gloating remark about the killer getting caught, as Maurice shuts the door behind him and locks it, leaving Henry, realizing he's been duped, to angrily pound the door to no avail. After Maurice leaves to get backup to make sure the Whistling Man stays locked up, Marie has been listening in on the radio, heading over to free her son, then relocking the door to scare Maurice and his armed buddies when they come back.
•Henry was inspired by several classic slasher villians, the defining characteristic of all being muteness:
•Henry's mask, his relatively young age and use of a knife are highly reminscient of Michael Myers from the Halloween franchise.
•Henry's submissive relationship and deep attachment to, as well as motivation to kill for his mother, are traits shared with Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th franchise, especially Part II.
•Henry's complete lack of social awareness, primary influence in his murders by family members, apparent use of a chainsaw and terrorizing of a small town are shared with Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise.
•The reveal of Henry is foreshadowed at a few points in the game:
•Maurice Russell continually refers to the Whistling Man who has broken into The Gallows Reporter as a teenager rather than an adult, even shouting "See you in hell, kid!" if he succeeds in trapping him in the secret archives.
