Hank was once a man. The most feared and most wanted man in all of Nevada, no less. His violent tendencies had gained him an unfavorable reputation that escalated into an all-out war that quickly descended further into madness until the very fate of the world was in jeopardy. He was forced to become accustomed to the inexplicable and the nonsensical as reality literally fell apart around him and the Higher Powers toyed with the mortal world.

Hank rose from an undistinguished grunt with anger issues to a highly skilled super-assassin with more scars than one could count and a similarly high body count. He'd brought hundreds of lives to their end; death was not just all around him, but also something he experienced not infrequently. Be it through the Higher Powers or the advancements of technology, he was brought back from the dead, stitched back together and sent out to fight the good fight time and time again.

Once again, Hank bit the dust. Only this time, he's not in Nevada anymore. In a new body, a new world, and with fragmented memories, he blindly feels his way around. Will history repeat itself, or will he write a different story here? Only time will tell...

— Immediately after awakening, Hank falls from a tree and startles Kuhn, who is on edge due to being back in Everfrost, where he was attacked. They fight briefly until Kuhn realizes Hank is not affiliated with his attackers. Feeling incredibly guilty, Kuhn promises to make it up to him and brings him to Duskguard to heal. Then, Hank travels with him to Northfall, which he joins without much forethought.

— Hank's interest is piqued by the brewing war between Northfall and Dragonford Isles, but he is left disappointed when nothing seems to come of it. He becomes stir-crazy, eventually going on a brief outing in search of something exciting.

— On his travels, he meets Daighre, who chose the wrong man to mouth off to. Hank attacks him, but Daighre breaks his goggles. Distraught, he tosses Daighre down Whisper Key's steep banks and onto the shore, where he narrowly gets away with his life.

— Bitter, Hank gathers the broken remnants of his goggles from the beach and returns to Northfall. Upon his return, he is intercepted by Ghidorah at the border, who had reappeared in Northfall during his absence. Being cut from the same cloth, they fought, getting carried away in the act. Hank contemplated tearing Ghidorah's throat out but relented, deciding he'd rather have the man around to spice up his life in a world he found exceedingly dull compared to the last.
