Appearance
A grizzled and portly 52-year-old man with a graying buzz-cut and a mustache, often seen chomping on a cigarette. He prefers to wear suits.
Background
A magazine publisher by trade, Hank has since been put out of his element as he inches closer to retirement by being assigned to be one of the producers for the Geographic Society’s new documentary series, a position given to him in no small part to to his long history in news coverage being useful in accruing information on the storied history of Pokemon trainers and their continuing impact on the world today. He is an outspoken man and a seasoned veteran in the news industry, part journalist and part pundit, with resolve of steel, though he does maintain enough humility to leave his subordinates to do their thing.
A former urban explorer, he has acquired a humble roster of Pokémon. His most trusted companion is a gengar named Newsreel, acquired as a gastly during his days as a field journalist in the 1980s. He has a fondness for root beer and a passionate hatred of lemons.
Family Life
He is married to Barbara Harvey, with whom he has a son, Heinrich Jr./Harry, and a daughter, Jane Stacy.
Personality
Hank is notorious for his bluster. He defaults to using his loud voice and intimidating stature to cow subordinates into compliance, which he (and, incidentally, many others) believes keeps the Geographic Society ship sailing due to the pressure of constant deadlines. No respecter of persons, he is often brash and inappropriate around equals and has a tendency to think a bit too highly of himself. He is a crappy person to be around with but most people agree that he is an excellent (if a bit sensationalistic) journalist. Those that know him understand that there are principles he would never compromise and lines he would never cross--something that casual acquaintances would find difficult to believe.
