Summary[]
Old Man Henderson is a character from a game of Trail of Cthulhu, where the Game Master, or GM, was being rather cruel to the players, constantly killing them for little to no reason. Eventually, the player, only known by his 4chan name, Waffle House Millionaire, created Henderson for one goal: Plot Derailment.
Not much is known about Henderson himself, as his 320 Page Backstory of Doom was destroyed, never to be seen again. However, what we do know is that he is a man who never takes off Aviator shades, has a Scottish accent (Despite not being Scottish), and his life has gone through a variety of events, leading him to gain a massive arsenal of skills.
After his death he was reincarnated as Eli Burning and now is trying to protect Heather, his childhood friend, from both Nyarlathotep, and the knowledge of her 'true' nature, that being reincarnation of Hastur.
