Early LifeEdit
Little is known about Henry prior to his first encounter with Paige Matthews, other than that he grew up in foster homes. Because the social agency kept moving him around whenever he got close to someone, he developed a fear of opening up to other people, including Paige. But later, he learns to overcome that fear.

Meeting Paige and MarriageEdit
Henry meets Paige in 2006, as he was looking after a teenage parolee identified as Speed, who also happened to be Paige's future-whitelighter charge. Initially they butted heads on what to do with Speed, but had found themselves attracted to each other and as time went on, they began dating. Paige first used her healing powers on Henry after he was shot in an attempted armed robbery. Because her love for him was so strong, it awakened the power. She revealed to him that she was a witch soon after that, a revelation he took rather well - while he was certainly confused about aspects of Paige's life as a witch, he never became afraid of her or the life she led. Henry later dueled against the witch Simon Marks for Paige's affections, standing firm despite the wallop he took from Marks and telling him that he truly cared for Paige whereas Simon just wanted a trophy wife. Taking advantage of the distraction that came when Paige finally intervened, he managed to punch Simon out, proudly carrying the wounds of battle instead of accepting Paige's healing. The scars would heal on their own. He proposed to her at the top of the Golden Gate Bridge soon after. Paige and Henry finally wed in Halliwell Manor with their close family and friends present.After their wedding, Paige began to feel like she was losing herself because she loved Henry too much, so she asked her sister Phoebe Halliwell's cupid, Coop, for help. Coop put Paige inside Henry's head in order to get them closer. During this time, Henry could channel Paige's active powers, but not the Power of Three. After Paige realized that being married wouldn't hurt her independence, she was removed from the inside of Henry's head.

A while after the Charmed Ones' final Ultimate Battle, Paige became unexpectedly pregnant with twins, Tamora and Kat Mitchell.

TroublesEdit
When the Source of All Evil was ressurected, it casted a spell that caused all of the mortals in San Fransico to turn against the Charmed Ones. While under the affects of the spell, Henry attempted to strangle Paige, resulting in her orbing a lamp onto his head. Afterwards, Henry felt extremely guilty about trying to murder his wife even though she assured him that it was just magic. However, Henry distanced himself from Paige, and their troubles only worsen when Paige brings home a [http://charmed.wikia.com/wiki/Henry_Jr. baby boy] who she orbed out of the womb of a murdered homeless teenager. Henry is very skeptical about bringing a mortal child into their home because of magic, and he feared thatdarklighters would soon be coming after the twins. In the midst of this conversation, Paige confronts Henry about how distant he's been since the strangling incident. Later, Henry converses with Piper and Phoebe's father, Victor, about his issues with being a mortal married to a witch. Stemming from his own experiences, Victor tells Henry that he wouldn't have married a witch if he wasn't who he was and that he must give Paige strength to do her duty. Henry turns his attitude around and decides to support Paige no matter what. He also accepts the orphaned baby, calling him [http://charmed.wikia.com/wiki/Henry_Jr. Henry Jr].

Adopting Henry Jr.Edit
While in the process of legally adopting their son, Paige and Henry discovered that the father of the child was Christopher Mercer, the son of a dangerous criminal lord. Determined not to give up their son, Paige conjured a detective from a book to help find evidence to send them to prison. However, when they found the evidence they needed, Quinn turned on them and offered them a deal, the evidence in exhange for allowing him to stay permanently. With a little magical help, Paige and Henry were able to trick Quinn and send him back to his book. They then handed the evidence over to the authorities and the Mercers were sent to jail. Christopher showed no interest in gaining custody, so Henry and Paige were able to legally adopt their son.

Gaining MagicEdit
When magic switched from the magical community to mortals, Henry gained the power of transformation and was able to use this ability to avert the suspicion of nosy neighbor, Mrs Javitz, and hide the fact that the sisters were without their powers by making the house look magical.

Future YearsEdit
Henry lived happily with his wife and his three kids. Though he continued to look after his parolees, he also continued to make time to look after their children so that Paige could help the next generation of witches.

SkillsEdit
As a parole officer, Henry most likely received training to defend himself, as he has to deal with potentially violent parolees on a daily basis. He was able to defend himself against Simon Marks in a duel, despite the latter using magic. However, he was overpowered in the end. Being a parole officer, he is presumably also a good negotiator.

Paige's PowersEdit
When Paige was feeling lost in the marriage, she went to Coop for assistance. Coop transported Paige inside Henry's head in order to help them figure out their problems. During this time, Henry was able to channel Paige's individual powers of Orbing and Telekinetic Orbing, but was unable to cast a Power of Three spell with Piper and Phoebe.

TransformationEdit
During the magical switch in "The Old Witcheroo", Henry somehow received the power to transform objects from one thing to another. He is first seen using using this power when he transformed a cigar into a stuffed elephant for his niece Parker Halliwell. Henry also used this, along with the help of Elise Rothman, to decorate the outside of Halliwell Manor in order to give it a more "magical look" to fit in with the rest of the newly empowered neighborhood and seem "normal".

Grandkids
He has seven grandkids with his wife Paige. Samuel, Richard, Kyle, Henry III, Tina, Kit, and Kat Jr. He helps quite a bit with his great-nieces.
