Character Analysis - Henri

Henri is also from the planet Lorien. He is Number Four's Cepan. Cepans have no powers, but are supposed to train and instruct the Gardes about their abilities. Cepans are also assigned to the Gardes at a young age so they can guide the Gardes well.
Number Four and Henri left Lorien together, along with the other eight Gardes and their Cepans. Henri and John have moved around the country many times in order to protect their identities. Sometimes, John thinks Henri should leave him and settle down, fall in love, and make a family. The two know this is impossible. Henri had a wife back on Lorien, but was forced to leave her when the Mogadorians attacked.
Whenever Henri and John move somewhere new, the two are always established as father and son. Henri does his best to advise John in life, so it does not feel unnatural for the two to say they are blood related. At the end of the book, John tells Henri that he was like a father to him.
Henri does not reveal much about his past life to John; it can be assumed that it is too sad of a topic to be discussed for him. John does have a flashback to back when he lived on Lorien, and he remembers when his grandfather first introduced Henri to him as his Cepan. Back in Lorien, Henri's name was Brandon.
At the end of I am Number Four, Henri is killed by a Mogadorian weapon, aimed at John. Henri jumps in front of John to take the blow and dies.
In the novel, Henri is fifty years old. He moved to Earth with Number Four at the age of forty. He is usually tired, but also as kind and very much like a father figure. He is also hardworking and focused on keeping John safe.
