Biography (Original Timeline)[]
Henry Waters was the CEO of Waters Corp in the town of Angel Falls. He planned to modernise the town by building a giant shopping mall that was to be called Waters Cove. On Christmas Eve 2022, Henry got his employee David Carruthers to go with him to the home of Roger Evans, since Henry wanted to have Roger's house demolished so that Waters Cover could be built, yet Roger was refusing to comply. He, David and Roger try to negotiate, but Roger still refuses to let Henry demolish his house.
Determined to haveW Waters Cove built at all costs, Henry decides to resort to murder and dons a Christmas Angel disguise consisting of a white robe and mask before invading Roger's home and murdering him by slitting his throat with a dagger. In order to tie up loose ends, he then tracks down Roger's granddaughter Cara at a Christmas party and murders her after killing a boy she was making out with.

Henry's body
Cara's murder is witnessed by several people, including Winnie Carruthers, David's daughter and Cara's best friend. Winnie runs outside and attempts to confront the masked killer, but is overpowered and nearly killed before her brother Jimmy rushes outside and tackles Henry, saving her life. Henry then turns his attention to Jimmy and attempts to stab him, but is stopped when Winnie electrocutes him to death with jumper cables connected to a battery. Winnie then takes off his mask, revealing his identity.
James gave his original death the Golden Chainsaw because it was surprising to see the killer get killed so early on.
Biography (Alternate Timeline)[]
One year after Henry's killing spree, after a depressed Winnie wishes she had never been born, she finds herself in an alternate timeline where she never existed and thus wasn't there to kill Henry Waters. As a result, the Henry in this timeline successfully killed her brother Jimmy, leaving David and the rest of the town in a deep depression. Throughout the following year, Henry continued his killing spree by targeting people who owned business that he wanted to drive out of business, and in the meantime, successfully completed construction of the Waters Cove mall and became the mayor of Angel Falls. In addition, Henry exploited David's grief in order to convince him to become his partner in crime and kill people that Henry wanted to get rid of while dressed in the Angel disguise.
