Henry Creel, better known as peter Ballard. but, Taylor calls him Henry so... Henry it is .
he was always seen as the timid little boy. the boy who didn't fit in. he thought that there was something wrong with him. all the teachers and doctors ever said was that he's "broken"
his parents thought a change of scenery, a fresh start in Hawkins, might just cure him. he thought it was absurd.
' As if the world would be any different here ' his neighbor, Taylor had commented when Henry told her about what her parents had thought. much like Henry, Taylor was said to be "broken" to be "emotionally unstable". which was actually insane.
the pair found comfort in each other. some days, Henry and Taylor would hang out in Henry's place. on other days they'll be at the park.
Henry found that Taylor different from the rest, he felt happy when she was around. Henry felt normal like Taylor was where he belongs . Taylor felt like home .
little did he know, that the little girl, who was the around a year younger than him, felt the same.
Henry's new home and Taylor , provided him a discovery and a newfound sense of purpose. in the house, inside the vents of the bathroom, Henry found a nest of black widows.
most people fear spiders. they detest them . and yet, Henry found them fascinating, just like how he found Taylor. he knew Taylor wasn't normal, she had this aura , this powerful aura. Henry had them too, but it wasn't as powerful.
like him, they're solitary creatures and deeply misunderstood. they are gods of our world. the most important of all predators.
they immobilize and feed on the weak, bringing balance and order to an unstable ecosystem. but the human world was disrupting this harmony.
" you see, humans are a unique type of pest, multiplying and poisoning our world all while enforcing a structure of their own. a deeply unnatural structure. "
where others saw order, Henry saw a straitjacket. a cruel, oppressive world dictated by made-up rules. but as Taylor says, " Henry, listen ... rules are made to be broken "
everyone is just waiting waiting for it all to be over. Henry could not close off his mind and join the madness .

Henry once had accidentally killed a random girl Infront of taylor. he felt more powerful once he took a life.
after taken a life, he had expected Taylor to run away from him. but no, she stayed and watch. she even used her thumb to wipe off the blood under his nose.
time went by, and they realised that they were the same. Taylor like him had special abilities. to perform 'witchcraft' with their minds.
Henry, then decided to take his parents life. that day, Henry and Taylor went over to Henry's place for dinner.
when Henry, killed his mother at the dining table. Taylor made the lights flicker and played music for the dramatic effect.
' when killing someone, you need to add the dramatic effect or it wouldn't be cool' Taylor once said, Henry thought it was kinda cute.
with each life henry took, he grew stronger. more powerful. they were becoming a part of him. but he was still a child and did not know his limits.
at the door, Henry was in Taylor's mind asking her to kill his sister the same way Henry killed his mother. Taylor did it easily, with no remorse .
' Henry you should stop' Taylor said worriedly staring at Henry whose nose started bleeding uncontrollably. his eyes were shut, his father was frozen still, his sister was already lying dead on the ground.
Taylor needed to stop Henry. so she knocked Henry out with her mind. while Henry's father was still in his trance, Taylor ran to the bathroom and climbed out through the window racing back home.
Henry's father was then arrested and blamed for the death of Henry's sister and mother just as henry planned.
however, Henry was in a coma only to find himself placed in the care of a doctor, the very doctor he had hoped to escape.
Dr Martin Brenner .
Dr Martin Brenner began a program, to recreate Henry, and soon others were born.
Henry, 001.
a few days after 002 was born, people who were interested in the creel family case, had found Taylor.
Taylor was the only other one that made it out alive and safe . of course 'a small little girl is harmless' 'she couldn't possibly do anything' , and she was ruled out as possibility as the killer therefore Henry's father was thrown in jail and called a murderer so quickly.
however, others thought that Taylor could be the murderer. they convinced her parents that she was not safe, and now, she as well was with Dr Martin Brenner.
she's 003.
