John Henry

"John Henry" born circa 1845 AE is a runaway Confederate slave. He and Kudjoe joined Lord Aries' crew together. 5' 7" tall, with a slender build and shaved head, dark brown skin and eyes, John Henry was born and raised on a plantation in the Confederate State of Georgia, before escaping to the Union via the Underground Railroad. It was on this path that he met Kudjoe and the two made their way west and eventually to the Orient.

John Henry is mostly illiterate, though he and Kudjoe have been learning to read and write with Saraswati, who is sometimes his lover. He and Kudjoe also practice shooting with Hugo Diamond. Ironic for a crewman who occasionally travels via airship, he is afraid of flying.
