The First

From a young age, Henry Creel was disgusted by humanity and their endless cycles of eating, reproducing and dying. Their mindless play. As this hatred grew, he found that he had strange powers: first, an ability to control the house’s grandfather clock, and later, the ability to manipulate minds. His powers reached a terrifying new level as he contorted and destroyed the bodies of his mother and sister. Henry’s father, blamed for their deaths, was sent to Pennhurst Mental Hospital. A shadowy organization faked Henry’s death and moved him to a facility where his powers were limited by the Soteria chip, and studied along with several other children with psionic powers. He played along and was eventually made an orderly. But his compliance was a ruse. Once he was able to convince Eleven to remove his chip, he massacred the students and staff of the facility, only stopping when Eleven was able to banish him to another dimension. Henry thought he was going to die. Instead, he became more powerful than ever before. From this new dimension, he committed a series of grisly murders as part of his plan to open gates to the real world and destroy all of humanity. But as he passed through a gate, a black fog appeared and he crossed over into a new realm—one unfamiliar, but full of potential.
