About

Henry Townshend is somewhat of a quiet soul, shy and introverted in personality. This is emphasized as he doesn't speak a lot, and is more a listener than a speaker. Henry's shyness and occasionally awkward behavior may indicate that he is a Hikikomori--a term describing a person who has withdrawn from social life entirely. No mention is made of any friends or family throughout the game, and even his neighbours only know him in passing. Henry's confrontation with Walter Sullivan forces him into a situation where he must change (and leave the apartment), or die.

He is a keen and adept photographer, proven by the many scenic pictures that hang on the walls which he himself shot. He has an eye for natural beauty that goes beyond the superficial as he once remarks, "This is a photo of the church I ran across while I was visiting Silent Hill. For some reason I was really attracted by the way it looked, so I took the picture." Also, his desk has several books, a sketchbook and a pen, which may show his interest in writing.

Judging from the pictures Henry has in his possession, it is apparent that he has visited Old Silent Hill before. The photos serve as reminders of past Silent Hill games. Two in particular depict the Balkan Church and the old lighthouse, both landmarks of Silent Hill 1. Henry even makes a comment about the lighthouse picture saying that "There was even a rumor that a UFO came flying right by the lighthouse." This is a subtle reference to the UFO endings of the three previous games.

He may be looking to purchase a car, shown by the magazine that is on his coffee table, entitled 'Bikkuri Cars'. He is a collector of books, yet for the two years he has been living in South Ashfield he hasn't read any of them or even touched them.

Henry shows remarkable altruism throughout the game: he is constantly trying to help the people he meets, regardless of his own situation. When meeting Joseph Schreiber, he instinctively keeps Eileen Galvin behind him until the man leaves.
