Dr. Henry Morgan

Henry Morgan is the protagonist of the series "Forever" (2014). He is a talented judicial expert and doctor working in the New York morgue. Henry was born in 1779 in England. From a young age, he showed interest in medicine and ultimately became a doctor. His strong sense of justice once led to a fateful event: during the service on board the ship, Henry tried to protect the slave whom they were going to kill. For this, an angry captain ordered Henry to shoot and throw his body overboard. However, instead of death, Henry unexpectedly gained immortality: he "risen" in the nearest pond, completely unharmed. Since then, every time he dies, his body disappears, and he again appears in the water, naked, but alive. Over the next two centuries, Henry studied medicine, science and philosophy, trying to understand the nature of his immortality and find a way to finally die. He survived many eras, wars and losses, which left a deep mark on his soul. During this time, he lost many people dear to him, including his first wife Abigail, which became one of the most painful losses in his life. Henry has a unique ability: he is immortal. Every time he dies, his body disappears, and he himself appears naked in the nearest pond. Henry Morgan was born more than 200 years ago, which allowed him to accumulate extensive knowledge in medicine, history and culture. Thanks to his centuries -old experience, he demonstrates exceptional insight in the disclosure of crimes, noticing the smallest details that slip away from others. Despite his unique abilities, Henry experiences deep longing for the past times and the people he lost. His desire to reveal the secret of his immortality and find a way to finally die is one of the key motives of his character. The character has elegance, exquisite manners and a classic style, which emphasizes his aristocratic past. In the series, he demonstrates not only outstanding intelligence, but also sincere care for people, especially his adoptive son Abe.

The appearance of Henry Morgan in the series “Forever” (2014), which is played by Ioan Gruffudd, is carefully thought out and emphasizes his sophisticated, almost Victorian nature, as if he are a person from another era.
 Henry has aristocratic facial features - a clear line of the chin, high cheekbones and the correct oval of the face. His skin is light, with a light cold shade, without visible traces of aging, which symbolizes its immortality. It is usually cleaned clean, but sometimes appears with light unshaven.
 His eyes are warm brown color, expressive and deep. They often read fatigue, melancholy and internal wisdom, characteristic of a person who has survived a lot. They become especially piercing when he is focused or experiences strong emotions.
 Henry has thick, dark brown hair, slightly wavy. Usually they are neatly laid, emphasizing its wellness and commitment to the classic style. Sometimes, in moments of anxiety or stress, strands can subside on the forehead, giving it a more vulnerable and living look.
 It is tall (about 185 cm), slender, with good posture. His figure is fit, like a person who takes care of himself, but not for the sake of appearance, but from habit. He moves confidently, smoothly, with dignity - like a person who is accustomed not to rush and observe.
 Henry is always dressed impeccably. He prefers a vintage style: dark jackets, vests, classic shirts, silk scarves and long coats. Even in an everyday environment, he looks like a gentleman of the 19th century, which ended up in the 21st century. His shoes are always leather, polished to shine, and accessories are sophisticated, like a clock with a chain or a scarf in a breast pocket.
The facial expressions are restrained, but expressive. He rarely smiles, but sincerely. In gestures - accuracy and nobility.

In general, Henry Morgan gives the impression of a person frozen in time: outwardly impeccable, internally vulnerable, with a raid of tragic elegance.

In the modern era, Henry works as a forensic expert in the New York morgue. His centuries -old experience and extensive knowledge help him reveal complex crimes, but at the same time he remains very secretive, trying not to reveal his secret to anyone.

The only person who knows about immortality Henry is Abe - his adopted son. Henry and Abigail adopted Abe when he was a baby saved from a concentration camp during World War II. Now Abe is an elderly man who has become not only a close friend of Henry, but also the only person who really understands him.
