[[File:Van Statten young.jpg|thumb|A young Henry van Statten. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Henry Van Statten (short story)|Henry van Statten]]'')]] | |||
Van Statten was the son of [[Edward Van Statten]], the billionaire owner of the Van Statten Corporation, a wealthy business dealing in oil and armaments during the later 20th century. Henry felt isolated from his father, who was endlessly away on business trips throughout most of his childhood while Henry was left to live in isolation in a housing complex within the [[Utah]] desert. Henry found comfort in [[Otto von Donitz]], one of Edward's personel assistants charged with educating and caring for Henry in his father's absence. On his seventh, Otto gifted Henry a telescope, claiming his father bought it him as a gift to look out at the stars and aspire to one day reach them, and demonstrate ambition. However, when Edward returned home and learned Otto had gifted Henry the telescope, Edward fired Otto and had two henchmen destroy the telescope six weeks later. | Van Statten was the son of [[Edward Van Statten]], the billionaire owner of the Van Statten Corporation, a wealthy business dealing in oil and armaments during the later 20th century.
