Herman secretly murdered Henry's mother and raised him, planting seeds of evil in Henry's mind. During the Cold War when Henry was deep in adulthood, he served as a Soviet spy in Philadelphia. After the Stars and Stripes captured him, he defected from the Soviets and told the Americans everything the Soviets were planning, making him a key player in ended the Cold War. Afterwards, he retired to a home in Sokovia and had a son who he named Helmut. He was killed in the Battle of Novi Grad in 2015 at 97 years old when rubble from Novi Grad rained down onto the Sokovian countryside, killing Henry, his daughter-in-law, and his grandchildren. His son Helmut was the loan survivor and Henry's death was a key reason in Helmut becoming a large-scale terrorist, aiming to tear the Avengers apart, who were responsible for Henry's death.
