Talk:Henry Townshend

Henry and Tina both have shoulder-length brown hair. They also both have bangs that flow to the right. It's possible that they might be related, afterall, they both have Townshend as their last name (I think she might be Henry's younger sister). It's incorrect to say that they are "unlikely" related (as if Konami didn't know what Henry's last name was when they were creating Tina). They are fictional characters and their last names are references to eachother, not coincidences. =P AlexShepherd 13:31, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Completely agreed. Coincidences in a series with a nature such as Silent Hill are a rarity, and I doubt Konami would be so careless as to just recycle names, especially when western-style surnames are plentiful and recycling unecessary. -- TheGoodMan  Converse   Workload  14:40, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Eileen looks like Tina and Angela. They both have shoulder-length hair. In fact, Tina looks exactly like Eileen. All three must related. How did we not see this before? But enough sarcasm. Konami has recycled numerous last names.

Lisa Garland = Steve Garland

Eric Gein = Jasper Gein

Henry Townshend = Tina Townshend

Mary Shepherd = Alex Shepherd

There are no hints in any of the games that the characters with the last names are related. Frank and James Sunderland are the exception. Examining a picture in Henry's apartment reveals that James disappeared in Silent Hill. And there is also the nurse Rachel.


 * I am a girl, by the way :3

I would still believe its not simply recycling names but linking them to other characters. In works of fiction, its almost always the reason why a character would have the same last name as someone else. --Rinraiden 20:37, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

That's just speculation. NONE of the Silent Hill games state or even imply that these characters are related. --Jack Miller 12:41, 23 July 2009 (UTC)


 * And none of the games either state or imply that they're not related.  AlessaGillespie  Talk   Contributions  10:44, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

I know the PERFECT way to prove if they're related. Once I play the game, if Tina says the phrase "What the hell?" than they are most absolutely certainly related.--Dfskelleton 06:12, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Me and Henry have somewhat similar personality's. Puppy1 Hi! 23:01, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

okay, if anyone can answer this question, i'll draw them any Silent Hill character (and i'll color it on the computer too. i'm really good with programs like paint.net and gimp. i wish i could post some of my artwork here, but it's almost all Sonic the Hedgehog related, so here is my Photobucket account. you can see my coloring style there). so here is the question:

How many times in Silent Hill 4 does Henry say "What the hell?"?

and if you decide to answer, please give proof that states why/if your answer is correct-- Clytemnestra Vidal  I dont suffer from insanity...I enjoy every second of it!  01:45, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

Henry as an "Emo"
tried talking it out with stated, but he will not see reason. I was talking with Alex earlier and he said that Henry was something of an Emo. I did a bit of research and it seems a lot of people think so. I mentioned it in Henry's personality section. Stated reverts. I try again. He reverts once more. I move it to trivia, he deletes it almost instantly. I try talking to him on his talk page, he deletes all of what I had to say and sends messages to Alex and Alessa telling them I am "putting my opinion's" up there. I was talking to Alex at the time, so Alex said that he would sort it out. Alex talks to him, he deletes that too. Now whenever I make an edit on Henry's page he deletes it. Something must be done about this. I am ofcourse talking about User Stated. --XXkamoXx 05:32, November 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well I’m one of those people who doesn’t think that about Henry… shouldn’t my opinion on that count? There are others who have opinions on some of the characters and the games, it is going to be ok to pretty much say those things as well? The answer to that is no. Just because a few people think he’s an Emo, exaggerating or just flat out lying about Henry spying on Eileen is all based on opinion, not fact. You need to take this up with Alex, not me. This and other wikipedia websites should be used to state the facts, not for one’s own speculation, exaggeration, opinion, and just flat out lies with no source link ([1]) to back it up. These pages should not say things based on what a few people seem to think, which is a bias opinion half the time with idiotic conjectures and overstatements.Stated 05:39, November 21, 2011 (UTC)

Funnily enough, I never said that I shared the opinion. I do not infact believe Hnery to be an Emo. However, I have been talking to Alex the whole time. He was the one that said Henry was Emo in the first place. All I did was browse and reported that it is a commonly held beleif that Henry has an Emo-ish nature. I am not over exaggerating, I am not biased and I am certainly not idiotic. You are being very disrespectful. Bear in mind that I was only trying to expand the article in question. Your continued attempts to discredit me are unwarrented. I have remained courteous through-out our talk. You have been very rude. Check your information before you start making wild accusasations with unfounded evidence. Even Alex has said that youare being rude.This wiki exists to inform people about all things Silent Hill and as there are limited hard facts, most articles include speculation and opinions. Its called a community. Learn how to get along.Notto mention most if notall of your edits are infact reverts. Seriously, what are you trying to prove?--XXkamoXx 06:02, November 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * I’m not here to be polite and I don’t care what you or anyone else here thinks of me… anyway… I’m reminded of the question on Walter’s discussion page… Why is there no mentioning of Pyramid Head being Walter's father? Is that alone enough to put that on the page just because one or a few people think that? A lot of people seem to think that Eileen is a nurse, yet her occupation is unknown. Cynthia's occupation is also unknown, but if a lot of people thought that’s she a dancer or a hooker on the streets… is that going to be ok to speculate and even exaggerate? A lot of people thought that SH4 was not meant to be part of the series, that Eileen’s voice was done by somebody else and some people thought that Henry had a sister and look what all that lead to. Allowing opinion, speculation and exaggeration just leads to more and more of it. I thought these pages were to sate the facts? If someone else comes up with there own opinion, is one going to be accepted and favored over the other just because one has few more opinions to back it up?Stated 06:17, November 21, 2011 (UTC)

Well the whole point of a community is to get along, not to disrespect. And incase you haven't noticed, you're the only one who seems to have a problem with it. Most of the facts stated above are ridicolous. Atleast Henry being an Emo is plausible. Get over yourself --XXkamoXx 06:31, November 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree that the emo thing doesn't belong on the page and is just a bunch of speculation. That said, I have a serious problem with your attitude, Stated. You've been warned before for insulting people, and this will serve as your second and last warning. Do not continue to antagonize XxkamoX or I will ban you.

 * Then why is user XXkamoXx still puting that on that page?Stated 07:45, November 21, 2011 (UTC)

The only reason i even put it up there was because Alex mentioned it. But all the same, I wont put it back up there :) --XXkamoXx 08:10, November 21, 2011 (UTC)

Henry an Emo? I'd like to discount that idea :) However, it has to be said that his personality and behaviour traits are rather odd, (and I am fully aware that James went toilet diving.) Ever since I played as Henry I thought he had a lot of Autistic traits, as he appears very introvert with very odd habits to the way he communicates; For example: When he encounters Braintree he extends his hand out and introduces himself, which I always found very odd considering the situation he's in. I have an autistic brother and I've seen this before, where he over-compensates for his lack of communication skill and has a fixated interest, which could included Henry's photography. I'm more than happy to be told I'm overthinking it, but a part of me still thinks that Henry's personality may be a result of something similar to Autism. The page refers him to be a hermit, which may just be the reason, but what do you think?Mechanoise 09:51, January 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Of course, someone acting strange (according you or whoever) means there’s something wrong with a person (which includes being polite in shaking hands). I fail to see how replacing one speculation (based on whatever one can find) with another is any better. So yes, you are way over thinking this.-Stated 22:33, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

what the hell? Henry doesn't have shoulder length hair!SilenceInTheLibrary 01:49, May 7, 2012 (UTC)Chris

Henry's Eye Color
Sorry if I messed something up here, I'm pretty new to the whole Wikia thing.

I was just wondering, why is Henry's eye color listed as heterochromic? I always thought he had light/pale green or blue eyes. Is there an image, article, or interview somewhere that shows his eyes to be gray and amber? Every image I can find that shows his eyes fairly well seems to display them as grey-green. WildSpirits (talk) 02:15, April 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * I performed an eye drop test, and I'd say "Pale amber" is probably the most accurate. That "green" tint is actually on the yellow spectrum, and is probably your eyes deceiving you. They're definitely not blue/brown, and they don't have a green foundation, but they have color so... yeah, pale amber I guess. — Alex Shepherd   ツ  03:19, April 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh, thanks for clearing that up. I wasn't sure if my eyes were messing with me or not. But, still, how can you tell that they're heterochromic? They appear to be all of the same color to me, but I suppose my own eyes may be fooling me again. Sorry if the answer is obvious. WildSpirits (talk) 03:59, April 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * Someone probably thought the transition in shade was enough to deem it as central heterochromia, but reflecting back, I think it probably isn't. It's probably just how the characters are stylized in terms of video game graphics. Lara Croft's PS1 boobs were so pointy that they could probably slice bread, but pointy boobs were not the intention. Same with Silent Hill characters and their funny colored eyes. Unless someone mentions heterochromia was the intention, we can probably just attribute to the graphics. Walter Sullivan is the only intentioned one I know of (you can see the amber and the green very clearly in artwork), but the whole grey-brown is another thing, so I removed it for Alex and Lillian. — Alex Shepherd   ツ  05:50, April 6, 2013 (UTC)
