"On the plus side, I got a new character I think people are going to love." — Henry's audio log Bendy and the Ink Machine: Chapter 3

Henry Stein is a former animator and one of the founders of Joey Drew Studios. After helping Joey Drew create the studio, he was responsible for making the cartoons and creator of the studios mascots, including Bendy, Boris the Wolf, and Alice Angel. After many complications with Drew's deadlines and strict work environment, Henry left the studio and moved to Pasadena, California with his wife Linda.

Overview

Physical Appearance

Joey Drew stated that he would struggle to remember Henry's face, implying that, at least to Joey, the original Henry is visually unremarkable.

Personality

He’s shown to be very, very annoyed with Joey’s “all take and no give” attitude and how he’s a “man of ideas and only ideas”. He likes drawing characters whenever he seems to feel stressed or in doubt. Henry is also very creative, as he was the one responsible for the creation of some of the studio’s most famous characters, especially Bendy.

He cares deeply for his loved ones, like his wife Linda. In fact, the whole reason he left Joey in the first place was so he could spend more time with her.

History

Early Life

Henry and Joey Drew decide to open an animation studio, having great goals in mind. He starts working with Joey at the animation studio in 1929. While there, Henry created the studio’s famous mascot, Bendy, as well as Boris the Wolf. He also made Alice Angel, however they only started showing her after he left.

Due to Joey's questionable work ethics, Henry decided to leave the studio in the year 1930 so that he could also go move to Pasadena, California, and spend more time with his wife, Linda. Unaware to Henry, this action was something that infuriated Joey. Angry at Henry for abandoning their cartoon empire, Joey in 1960, 30 years after his exit of Joey Drew Studios, created a inky replica of his former co-worker and trapped him in a cartoon-like dimension called the Cycle, so he could torment this version of Henry by making him fall prey to the multiple ink creatures inside in a seemingly never-ending loop.

In-Game Appearances

Main article: Henry Stein (cycle)

An ink replica of Henry is made by Joey Drew out of spite after the real Henry left the studio. He is the main protagonist of Bendy and the Ink Machine and later appears in Bendy and the Dark Revival as one of Audrey's allies.

With his ink replica appearing in these events, it is implied that the real Henry Stein might still be alive in the real world.

Bendy and the Ink Machine Chapter 3: Rise and Fall "Only two weeks into this company and already it's gotten interesting. Joey is a man of ideas... And only ideas. When I agreed to start this whole thing with him, I thought there would be a little more give and take. Instead I give, and he takes. I haven't seen Linda for days now. Still, someone has to make this happen. When in doubt, just keep drawing Henry. On the plus side, I've got a new character I think people are going to love." — Henry's 1st and only audio log.

Trivia

• Henry seems to be heavily influenced of the real-life animator Ub Iwerks, with both having a similar long-time partnership with Walt Disney as well as being responsible for co-creating both companies' mascots.
• Henry's surname "Stein" is a common German-Jewish name. The name derived from German means "stone" or "rock".
  • Stein also bears resemblance to Frankenstein's name. This perhaps suggests a similarity in stories.
• Henry was friends with Norman Polk, revealed through the Dreams Come to Life novel. It was also implied by Twisted Alice's dialogue in Bendy and the Ink Machine: Chapter 3, saying "Say hello to an old friend." in her dialogue.
