Henry Stints

Henry Stints is an NCPD inspector in Night City.

Biography
Henry Stints was born and raised in the Heywood District of Night City. He eventually joined the NCPD as an officer, and by patrolling the streets of his district he realized that many of its citizens didn't abide the law, causing him to view his people differently. He reached the conclusion that the conflicting Heywood citizens were born there, lived there, and eventually died there.

Henry managed to rose in the NCPD ranks, eventually obtaining the detective position. During those years, he often encountered and detained Jackie Welles, to the point they've known each other for a while. Happy in doing his job, and eager to detain any criminal of Heywood, all this work finally paid off after he became an inspector.

In the last months of 2076, during the Streetkid lifepath, Inspector Stints and his crew arrested V and Jackie Welles when they were trying to steal a luxurious car from a parking garage in Embers, The Glen. Henry recognized Jackie from the old days, and to their surprise, V too. Stints had been investigating V for a while, knowing they had been living in Atlanta for the past two years, "lookin' for a slice of happiness" in his own words, though they had returned to NC after it didn't work. Unfortunately though, the owner of the car appeared; a high-ranking Arasaka corporate called Kaoru Fujioka. Even Stints was not pleased at seeing him. The inspector tried keep on with the procedures and bring the arrested to the precinct, but for Fujioka it was a waste of effort as he didn't have time to testify nor "play" at an investigation. He suggested Stints to break their legs and toss them in the sea before leaving the area. The inspector ordered his people to do what the corpo had said.

Despite the order, Stints' people only bruised them and threw them off on a back-alley. V and Jackie pondered on the reason why Stints let them be, thinking he still had some little sense of honor left. They also reached the conclusion that by being born and bred in Heywood, Stints probably didn't like the corpos either, as the majority of the Heywood citizens loathed them.
