Capable of genuine charm, he is also the first person you'd want to help you out of any serious jams." The character turned out to be Bram, a survivor of Ajira Airways Flight 316. Henke first appeared in "Namaste." Though he had no spoken lines in the episode, Henke was credited in the press release.
