Biography
Prior to 1863, Henry Scott was a former slave. Later as a freed man, he relocated to Trenton, New Jersey. In 1863, Henry was tasked by General Ulysses S. Grant with infiltrating the Collins Plantation to steal vital Confederate battle plans that were key to winning the American Civil War. He ran into a contingent of Confederate soldiers. Due to the intervention of the Legends, they killed the soldiers chasing him. However, they had been exposed to a virus from a nearby crash-landed time pirate so the soldiers reanimated catching Henry and the Legends off-guard. Though the Legends fended off the zombified soldiers, Henry was stabbed and died while trying to tell Jefferson Jackson his mission orders.

Jax later took his place and completed his mission, successfully retrieving charts of Confederate troop movements from the Collins Plantation. When asked by General Grant who to thank, Jax identified himself as Henry Scott preserving his credit in history.

Later a high school would be named in Henry Scott's honor for his heroic efforts during the war.

Aberration timeline
In a defunct timeline, Henry’s mission failed which resulted in the Union losing the battles of Champion Hill and Vicksburg. The Union subsequently lost the war dividing the United States into two nations.
