Story

Henning is one of several soldiers brought by Miche Zacharius to oversee a group of potentially untrustworthy Scout Regiment members.[1]
Before an investigation can begin, Titans appear within Wall Rose. Miche orders the group to split into four squads to warn the nearby villages.[1] Henning is in Nanaba's team, which begins searching Wall Rose for breaches. However, the squad encounters Gelgar's squad coming from the opposite direction without finding any, signifying that there is no breach. As night falls, the two groups take refuge in Utgard Castle.[2]
Utgard Castle soon comes under attack from numerous Titans capable of moving during the night. During the ensuing fight, Henning and Lynne separate from Gelgar and Nanaba to check on the rookies within the castle and are both struck by a projectile thrown by the Beast Titan which kills them instantly.[3]
