Character- Henry J Waternoose (v45)

"This article contains information about a character that has not yet fully debuted. Information on this page is subject to heavy revision." Henry J Waternoose (also known as the man behind the slaughter) is a major villain and the main antagonist in the horse arc from the 2001 animated film Monsters Inc. His presence is alluded to in Book III. He doesn't make his full debut until [TBD]. He is villain #45 on the character roster. He is the Chief Executive of Monsters Inc, which is currently under the ownership of HMSD.

History
In the first film, Mr. Waternoose is the CEO of Monsters, Inc. He is one of three owners, all cast down from lineage. He inherited the factory from his father when he was 142 years old, and turned it into the modern energy factory that appears at the beginning at the film.

Waternoose's story takes place in an alternate timeline where James P Sullivan and Michael Wazowski never discover the child exploitation taking place behind the scenes. They died on the workforce in 2008 after being shot several times with a 12 gauge pump-action shotgun. Waternoose, after receiving a large offer of money from the HMSD, sold his company in order to expand his riches.

Upon the HMSD's acquisition of Monsters Inc, Waternoose continued his work of trafficking and torturing civilian human children. One of his notable captors was the child Paul Walker. Waternoose was eventually assigned DC Joker and Matpat as agents to trophy targets under the name of his company. Some of the notable targets he attempted to trophy were Makoto Yuki, Yukari, and Mitsuru Kirijo. All except the third were successful attempts. Waternoose as a whole is responsible for Mitsuru's paralysis. After failing the attempt, Waternoose left Mitsuru in order to plot a plan to lure her in. During that time frame, Athena Asamiya was hired to work in Waternoose's forces for the HMSD. She and Waternoose devised the plan that was the Sheng Long hoax. Waternoose sent out Athena to fight Mitsuru. She died in combat, but she was successful in getting Mitsuru to believe that Sheng Long was the alleged crime boss behind her horse's murder. "Sheng Long" led Mitsuru's gang to a facility in the mountains where they were assaulted by waternoose's forces, albeit with an unsuccessful outcome.

Personality
Though Waternoose genuinely liked Sulley and Mike, he was only driven to villainy out of desperation to keep Monsters, Inc. afloat in the midst of the energy crisis, as well as due to stressful money problems and his constant hard work of being the (former) CEO. Mr. Waternoose became more villainous as this drive and desperation stripped away his morals and was determined to not let anything stop what he believed would be the best way for the company to keep going and helping Randall in his mission, never bothering to look for other energy resources.

Powers & Abilities
Waternoose is the typical crime boss. His powers are rather lackluster but this is compensated for in terms of his ties. Waternoose possesses a troop of CDA agents, who now serve as elite secret service agents that protect Monsters Inc. In terms of combat, the story never shows him actively fighting. Squidee does note to the cübe alliance before they set out on their mission that he is capable of using unblockables.

Death
Henry J Waternoose was murdered on the same day as Wilbur Soot, promptly The Cübe Alliance infiltrated his factory. Mitsuru awoke to destiny itself and sliced his body in half in one fell swoop. He too died of asphyxiation, though he was completely unconscious after being sliced in half.
