Gamers continue to show interest in the universe of the action-RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance. And following the emergence of unofficial multiplayer RP servers for the second installment of the series, which can accommodate a huge number of users simultaneously, the franchise’s fan base has grown once again.
Especially for KCD fans, cosplayer Evgeny “GraysonFin” Vasilyev shared a series of photos. During the photoshoot, held by photographer Sofia “CHATSKYPHOTO” Chatskaya, he appeared as Henry.
Jindřich (or Henry in the English version) is the protagonist of the Kingdom Come: Deliverance duology, who managed to walk a long and thorny path from a humble blacksmith’s son to a trusted squire and noble warrior.
In appearance, he looks like a typical young European with a somewhat simple face, brown eyes, and brown hair. Henry’s character combines youthful maximalism, stubbornness, and a deep sense of justice. At the start of the story, he is often hot-tempered and naive, doing foolish things due to a lack of experience.
Having survived the loss of his home, he gains incredible resilience, fidelity to his word, and loyalty to friends, such as Jan Ptáček (Sir Hans Capon). At the same time, Henry is not devoid of simple human charm, a sense of humor, and healthy cynicism, while his ultimate moral character is shaped by the player, turning the hero either into a noble defender of the weak or a pragmatic and ruthless mercenary.
This character is interesting primarily for his down-to-earth nature and realism against the backdrop of classic gaming heroes. Henry is not a chosen one, possesses no magical powers, and starts as an absolute “nobody,” which forces the player to learn from scratch alongside him how to fence, read books, and even maintain personal hygiene so as not to scare passersby with the stench of sweat.
The transition to the second installment makes his development even more captivating: now he is no longer a helpless boy, but an experienced warrior who will have to face a much larger-scale war, betrayal, and personal ambitions in Kuttenberg.
