Comfortable in his position of power as head of Brakebills University, Dean Henry Fogg is challenged when his students return from Fillory with an experience he has no expertise in. To help them save the existence of magic and kill The Beast, he must call on a former love interest – taking his students by complete surprise. With a great deal of knowledge and abilities, Dean Fogg does everything he can to provide his students with the tools they need to succeed in this crucial quest. Now that Magic is back, but in the control of the Library, Dean Fogg must do what he can to keep them safe from the Library as well as the Monster hunting them.
History
Early Life
Henry Fogg has always been self-sufficient - so much so that he effectively taught himself to perform magic at the age of four.[1] In his later years, he attended Brakebills, where he was sorted into the Knowledge discipline. Upon completing his studies, Fogg became an Alumni, receiving a key should he ever wish to visit the school's campus. However, afterward, Fogg was approached for the possibility of becoming the school's Dean, to which he accepted.
39 Alternate Timelines
During her crusade to stop her brother, Martin, Jane Chatwin approached Henry to request his help, recruiting a small band of students in hopes that they'd be the ones strong enough to defeat The Beast. During this time, Jane made several alterations to reality by using Horomancy to reset the timeline when the students failed - often resulting in their deaths.
During one of these alternate timelines, Fogg oversaw the Entrance Exam of Julia Wicker to Brakebills, who he was proud to discover was also a Knowledge student.
Fogg himself remembers all of these timelines, as he is powerful enough to perceive them, but not powerful enough to change them. He remembers all 39 (including the current timeline, being timeline 40). That being said, this is most likely attributable to the fact that he is a Master Magician in his own right.
