I'd list him under NPCs, but he's 100% Deep Lore...
"Old Man Henderson" as he is referred to by confidants is the bearer of Caledfwlch - Stone-Entombed Blade of Rulers, however the answer is unfortunately not quite that simple. The specific item he owns that is known by that moniker is not actually a magical artifact, rather it is a relic of the Old Ter’Ra Empire...and so is he - specifically Bo'Ka'Sol, the last Lord of Ter'Ka (the JolKoar name for Mars).
Caledfwlch itself was a sword of state, bonded to the leader of the ruling family of Mars during the Golden Age of TerRa - and more importantly , it was a key for controlling the JolKoar Void Rift manipulation technology. At the time of the Fall there were 8 Caledfwlchs, one for each of the major TerRa settlements. In modern times all but two have been lost - the one for the TerRa capital city was taken by the JolKoar as they departed on their ill-fated invasion of the Tau Ceti system (these days it powers that tech keeping their Void Rift open in the Coal Sack), while the one for Mars remains in Old Man Henderson’s possession.
Old Man Henderson himself is actually an ancient JolKoar Pureblood, the last ruler of Mars. He chose to disagree with the Warlord's plans to make war on the Tau Ceti system and was therefore stranded and left behind in the Sol system. When the systems maintaining the settlement on Mars began to fail, he and his remaining few compatriots there entered cryosleep and remained there until the latter part of the 20th century, waking occasionally to check in on humanity. Upon being awoken by the surveillance systems discovering humans on Mars, they dispersed themselves among humanity to hide and gather information, funding, and material supplies. Eventually, when private land ownership on Mars was opened up by the superpowers, the were able to secure an expansive terretorial holding above the remains of the old JolKoar settlement to ensure that nobody stumbled across it.
These days, Frank Henderson is content to remain in his private settlement on Mars, rarely leaving. Supplies are regularly shipped in to him, and he maintains regular communication with unknown persons. He is known to have created at least one lineage of JolKoar geneline among humanity, however it was so far back that it is scarcely detectable these days and manifests no trademark amber eyes. The only known/author-determined member of this lineage thus far is Catalina Romano.
