Editing Henchman 21 (section)

==General "2-Ton" Twenty-One==
The loss of his friend 24 affected Gary greatly. He spent the six months training with The Orchard Street Wolf Pack in order to never let one of his friends get killed again. This has made him the most efficient of all The Monarch's henchmen and he eventually earned the official rank of Henchman #01, but he refused to change his number. He became a legendary figure among fellow members of [[The Fluttering Horde]], who refer to him as ''General "''2-Ton''" Twenty-One'' (or simply "''General 21''"). He has earned the respect of [[The Monarch]], [[Dr. Mrs. The Monarch]], and even the [[Murderous Moppets|The Pupae Twins]] (along with the respect of [[Brock Samson]] in [[Pinstripes & Poltergeists]]). He also appears to have developed a rivalry with current Venture [[bodyguard]], [[Sergeant Hatred]].

===24: Skull and Ghost===
What is worrying however is that 21 is still attached to the skull of his departed friend, which he keeps in his room. Gary seems to be hiding something about #24's remains based on his reaction to The Monarch saying he thought he heard another voice coming from the room a little before he entered it in [[Self-Medication]].

In [[Pinstripes & Poltergeists]] we learn more of the relationship between the living and the dead. Gary still has conversations with 24 about the afterlife and 24 shares advice and wisdom in return. It is not made any clearer whether 24 is an actual ghostly manifestation or just a hallucination. Some of 21's advantages in battle were apparently credited to the ghost of 24 warning him of any nearby danger. When 24 suggested the possibility this could also be 21 rationalizing his increased intuitiveness and awareness 21 refused to believe him stating "You're real!".
