CONTENT WARNING: mental illness, abusive parent, alcohol and drug abuse, violence

In a nutshell: Henry is the first-born son of a rich and influential family. His father is the CEO of an investment company, while his mother is a high-profile politician. He has never lacked anything and has been living the high life, not caring who he hurts in the process. When he’s twenty-five years old, he gets taken hostage by a group of people posing as only his mother’s political enemies (although their true motivations turn out to be even wider reaching) and his mother refuses to pay the ransom they ask for the safe return of their son. Henry spends a year in the clutches of his captors, only escaping with the help of a mysterious man who goes by Steve and doesn’t give a last name.

Once safely back at home, Steve reveals that the people who kidnapped him are still after them, and that Henry must help him put a stop to their plans before it’s too late. Embroiled in the mystery are also other characters from Henry’s past some of whom he thought were dead. Who is really behind it all? What do they want? And can Henry keep his loved ones safe from whoever is coming after them?

Personality

Henry takes after his mother in his ability to be extremely personable. He is able to befriend and then use people for his own gains fairly easily. He’s charming, rich, and good-looking (a fact of which he is very aware of and takes advantage of often). Henry is extroverted and enjoys big gatherings and being surrounded by his friends and loved ones.  He has a jealous streak, and he is possessive of people and things around him. He doesn’t want to lose anything, ever.

Despite his love of people, he also has a side that detests the political machinations of his mother and who jut wants to move to the countryside, never to grace the parties of New York’s elite again. He would describe himself as quite boring behind the scenes. He is compassionate and caring, willing to go to any lengths to help those he cares about. He is also very forgiving and falls in love easily.

Greatest joy in life: His siblings, his friends, cooking

Greatest fear: Something bad happening to those he loves

Why? He is very dependent on the people close to him and handles loss and/or solitude poorly. He feels responsible for his younger siblings, especially after he realizes that his mother isn’t the best parent in the world.

What single event would most throw this character’s life into complete turmoil? The death of either or both of his siblings.

Character is most at ease when: At home cooking, or anywhere with his close friends just having fun

Most ill at ease when: His mother asks him to do something he knows is wrong.

Enraged when: Someone or something threatens the things and people he cares about.

Depressed or sad when: He feels lonely

Priorities: His family

If granted one wish, it would be: He wants to step down from business and politics and open a restaurant of his own.

Character’s soft spot: His little sister Lorelai, later on his children

Is this soft spot obvious to others? Yes.

Greatest strength: Henry is compassionate

Greatest vulnerability or weakness: Jealousy, obliviousness, having been born into wealth.

Biggest regret: Trusting Demo and that time when he and Eli weren’t speaking.

Minor regret: Not standing up to his mother.

Biggest accomplishment: Getting his shit together and getting together with Eli.

Minor accomplishment: Quitting his job at his father’s company

Past failures they would be embarrassed to have people know about: Henry was kind of a an asshole in high school and is embarrassed about all the things he did and the people he hurt back then.

Character’s darkest secret: While escaping captivity, he shot someone, and it shook him deeply.

Does anyone else know? Steve, who was helping him escape at the time.

Other: Henry suffers from PTSD from having been held hostage for a year. He has debilitating panic attacks and struggles to come to term with it.

 Goals

Drives and motivations:

Henry was raised to follow in his mother and father’s footsteps into politics and business. He starts out wanting to fulfill his parents’ wishes and it’s very important to him that they approve of him. Once he realizes it’s not what he actually wants, his goals change and he wants to find his own interests, including opening the restaurant and carving his own path in life.

Immediate goals: To get back on his feet after his ordeal, to win back his girlfriend and settle things with his family.

Long term goals: To figure out what the people who kidnapped him want and stop their plans, to be set free of his family expectations.

How the character plans to accomplish these goals: He has no idea at the beginning of the story, and he doesn’t want to involve any of his friends in the mess. It becomes quite clear quite fast that he’s not cut out for the job though, and he ends up getting help from many people. As for winning back his girlfriend and being set free of his mother’s expectations, well…

How other characters will be affected: Henry’s parents will be upset and will have to make other arrangements. Many friendship dynamics in Henry’s life will change and the way the world sees him will too.

 Family

Mother: Camille Austen, née Simmons

As a child and a young adult, Henry and Camille share a good relationship. He is definitely her favourite child, and she places a lot of trusts and expectations upon him.

Eventually they manage to somewhat reconcile and remain cordial until her death.

FC: Famke Janssen

Father: Leonard Van Tassel

FC: JR Bourne

Brother:  Dakota “Seven” Austen

Seven loves his brother but is often jealous of him and the love their mother showers him with. He compares himself to Henry and this causes issues in their relationship. Henry is protective of Seven and worries about him often. Nevertheless, they would both drop everything to come to the other’s aid, and they both know it.

FC: Miguel Herrán

Sister: Lorelai Austen

Lorelai is the younger twin, and thus the baby of the family. Henry is especially protective of her, which frustrates Lorelai to no end, though she does appreciate a big brother who has her back. She and Henry talk a lot and at one point team up against their mother’s schemes while Seven still believes her.

FC: Carlson Young

Love interests:

Mo Darling (ex-fiancée)

Henry and Mo started dating in high school when she was sixteen and he was eighteen. They dated on and off for many years. They were together when Henry was kidnapped and resumed their relationship afterwards, though things weren’t going very well for them before. They even got engaged, though neither was really sure if continuing to date is the right way forward. During their attempt to make their relationship work, Mo got pregnant, but they broke up due to Henry’s feelings for his best friend. They remained friends and shared the custody of their daughter.

FC: Alycia Debnam-Carey

Eli Moore (husband)

Henry and Eli were best friends since they were sixteen and fifteen respectfully. They were inseparable and once Henry started dating Mo, Eli was often included in the couple’s plans. Henry didn’t realize he had any sort of romantic feelings towards his friend until Eli got himself a boyfriend when they were already adults, but Eli had been in love with Henry for years, which Mo knew. Once Mo and Henry got engaged, Eli took it hard. Henry ended up finding out about Eli being gay when the pair kissed while Henry was still together with Mo, which caused them to put their entire friendship on hold and Henry’s engagement to fall apart.

Losing Eli made Henry realize he might have had feelings for him all along. He didn’t deal well with this and ended up going a drift, partying, and sleeping around. He met and started an affair with Demo at this time (which annoyed Eli). Slowly Eli and Henry start to build their friendship back up and eventually get together.

FC: Joe Sugg

Demo Buttergood (ex-boyfriend-adjacent)

Henry and Demo met when Henry’s life was pretty much spiraling out of control. They didn’t exactly date, but spent time together for a while, mostly partying. When Demo turned out to have been working for the enemy all along, the affair came to a sudden end and the pair became enemies. Henry and Demo clashed many times but once the real villain was uncovered, managed to make peace, and became friends. Demo is the godfather of Henry’s daughter.

FC: Daniel Sharman

Daughter: Marylou “Lou” Van Tassel

Lou was born at a time when her parents were at a crossroads with what to do with their relationship. They resolved to split up, but Lou had a relatively happy childhood, nevertheless. She loved both her stepparents, getting along especially well with Eli. Henry dotes on his daughter and has to be reined in, so he doesn’t buy her everything she asks.

FC: Benedetta Gargari

Son: Archibald “Archie” Van Tassel

Archie is Henry and Eli’s adopted son. He is fourteen years younger than Lou and came into the family when he was five. His parents were loving and supportive, and he didn’t lack anything his whole childhood.

Intro to Gen 1; Season 1

1993; A year ago Henry Van Tassel was kidnapped for ransom which his mother refused to pay. His family has accepted that he’s dead and never coming back but his best friend Eli Moore is not ready to let the matter go. Eli is soon to be vindicated, when Henry is found after having escaped his captors with a strange man going only by “Steve”. 

Henry struggles to adjust back to his normal life and to make peace with the fact that his mother didn’t deem it worthy to pay for his release. Against his better judgement, Henry had expected life to stop for everyone else too. His siblings, Lorelai and Seven, don’t seem to need him around much anymore, his girlfriend, Mo, has a new boyfriend, and Eli? Well, Eli is a whole different ordeal. What about Steve and the people who are still after them because of their escape? And maybe, most importantly, the suspicious test tubes Steve grabbed with him before they left?
