Henry Winter
Henry Winter, a central character in Donna Tartt’s The Secret History, is the wealthy, highly intelligent, and manipulative leader of an elite Greek class at Hampden College. He is portrayed as intensely erudite, charming yet socially detached, and deeply obsessed with ancient Greek ideals, often acting as a cold, "Byronic" figure who lacks typical emotional responses. He is described as over six feet tall, dark-haired, with a square jaw, pale/coarse skin, and expressionless, blank eyes behind glasses. He is formal, stiff, and rarely acts spontaneously. He often uses "To my way of thinking" as a catchphrase.
