Background:
Henrique was born João Henrique in the land that would become known Portugal more than one hundred years after the muslims had been cast out of the country. He has a great problem of memory, could retain perfectly some facts, and couldn't at all others, and all this at random. This caused him a lot of distress when he was remarked by Miguel, a Malkavian favorite in the Kindred courts of Portugal, who Embraced this fascinating person with such fascinating problems.
At this time, there was one famous person in Portugal, known as Henrique the Navigator, son of João the 1st of Portugal, who instigated the first travels of exploration of the african coasts, and initiated what would become the principal source of income of future european countries, among them, Spain. It was believed the Portugal had succeeded in finding the sea roads to India, and even to a new continent, and João Henrique, who had changed his name into Henrique in honor of his glorious namesake, had the chance to see the manipulation of the Kindred Helena, who knew there was a land beyond the Atlantic Ocean. But if the rumour is true, the portuguese Kindred never accepted to reveal their secrets, so she turned to Spain. She was the second person Henrique could never forget, for her beauty haunted his dreams.
The following centuries are blurred in his torporous mind, but he changed identity has his memory failed him, incounsciously searching for the immortal Helena. He ended in Paris, where the Prince claimed to be Helena's Childe. So he hoped that Helena would come back...
Still, Henrique, in Torpor, living strange dreams, waits for his believed.

Henrique has medium length curly brown hair, sad brown eyes and a face who seem lived much outrages (or he was a sailor and his skin was weathered by the sea air). He is normal in appearance, even if he is witty and charming.
Tonight, he usually wears common, practical clothes. Jeans, T-shirts, jackets, etc.. Everything in him appears to be common. Too common and to plain to be really interesting for long. Even his portuguese accent is boring...
Role Playing:
He has a portuguese accent that easily becomes boring as he seem to have forgotten this language since long. His french is perfect, but easily changes with the places he lives on: He easily takes the local accent, and lately, he lived in the eastern subburbs, thus acquiring the Langage des Cités cant (similar to rap/gangsta cant).
But he can be quite charming, as he forgot most prejudices from his past existence, and as he naturally hold everyone as equal. He, as Pedro, is always welcome among the Anarchs because of his openeness
Notes:
Henrique's mind is divided in two. the one, active, called today Pedro, as few memories of his past. The other, in a state similar to Torpor, is like a Black Hole, attracting memories to absorb them, out of the reach of the active conscience. But even in this state, Henrique isn't totally inactive, for by using Auspex, he can link somewhat the enlightened people (i.e.: the mad, the Malkavians, etc.) around him (more or less the whole zone of Paris). This link enables him to learn more (without draining memories) about them, and store this information. And this link enables them to search for information and memories not known to them, but which could be known to other ''Followers of Henrique''.
Thus, as long as Henrique remains inactive, he serve as a link between the mad people around Paris, and so is the cause to much mysterious enlightment among them...
The Auspex of Henrique is such he can temporarily awaken if he is threatened, calling other Malkavians to his help trough the Verve network, or even awakening fully (thus cancelling the network until he enters once more inactivity) and use the full measure of his powers.
Henrique could well be the reason behind the appearing of Dementation in parisian Malkavians. He could also be a local center of the great Malkavian Madness Network...
Actual Aim:
Continue to link. Expand the Network.

This power is described in the Guide to the Camarilla, p84.
This power enables one to serve as the center of a Network of minds, thus enabling them to exchange information. The functioning of Verve is explained in the Clan Malkavian chapter.
System: Automatic
The subject must remain inactive (which, in the case of Henrique,
is true).
Obfuscate ***** * : Mental Wall
This power was created in conjunction between Pedro and Henrique. It leads anyone scrying Pedro's mind into delving deeper in Pedro's memories, instead of searching ''elsewhere'' (if this word has a meaning in the field of mind scrying!).
System: Automatic
Anyone scrying the active personality (normally: Pedro) will
see the first 3 successes appplied automatically to the
active personnality, the remaining being treated in a special
way: If the 4th greater success is greater or equal than
the inactive personnality's willpower, then the one scrying will
detect something is strange, as if it lacked ''something''. The
others success can be used as wanted by the one scrying, but their
score must be as great as the mind's willpower they try to scry.
Note that once the one scrying knows something is amiss, she will
know ''where'' to search: The next time, the 4th success will be
considered a 1 success to scry the inactive mind, the 5th the 2nd,
and so on...
For example, Pedro has 5 in Willpower, and Hendrique 8. If Pedro is active, and Elle tries to scry him, she will see nothing if she makes only 3 successes or less. If her fourth greater dice is 8 or greater, then she knows something is strange. If her fiveth dice is 8 or greater, then she knows immediately some strange memory that is searching in the Verve Network.
The next time, Elle knows ''where'' to search, but she must pass the first 3 successes of Pedro's mind layers. The 4th gives her superficial information about what is going in the Verve, the 5th the name ''Henrique'', and the 6th the fact thet this ''Henrique'' is the true name of the soul inhabiting the body of Pedro, without Pedro's knowledge.
