User Profile

Henry Spencer (52 yrs.) is a retired police officer from Santa Barbara, California. He served twenty years on the force as a uniformed officer and was well regarded by his peers. He married and had one child, a son named Shawn, whom he had hoped would follow in his (and Henry's own father's) footsteps and become a cop.

Henry's marriage broke up when his son was a teenager and Shawn sided with his mother in the divorce(as much as a thing like that has sides) and then chose to have 57 different jobs over about ten years instead of becoming a cop. Finally, Henry's son settled into a life as "psychic" for the police. Henry was greatly disappointed.

It was several years until Henry was able to begin to reconnect with Shawn. Henry moved to Miami for a while during the estrangement, but recently moved back. He has not yet remarried and is unattached.

Henry likes rules- there is a right way and a wrong way to do things and he sees no point in doing anything unless it's done the right way. This trait was probably a contributing factor in his divorce and it certainly didn't help his relationship with his son.

He's skilled at everything a police officer should be skilled at- a crack shot, smart, good at judging people's motivations and if they are lying, he also knows how to sail and used to fish for sport. He's a poker player.

His bad traits include stoicism to the point of ridiculousness and a rather gruff manner. He got so used to having people jump when he talked when he was a cop, that he takes it for granted that people still will, and that they won't voice resentments at how he talks to them.

He isn't violent needlessly, but can handle defending himself and others if the need arises.
