Sir Henry Curtis is a fictional character in a series of adventure novels by H. Rider Haggard.
[1] Sir Henry first became acquainted with Quatermain when he left from England to Natal province, South Africa to request help in search of his brother, George.
Although unwilling at first, Quatermain is eventually persuaded to help lead him along with Commander John Good of the Royal Navy to the Heart of Kukuanaland, where George is expected to have disappeared looking for King Solomon's Mines.
Sir Henry is especially noted for his enormous size and stature, his muscular physique, and his long, blond locks, no doubt inherited from his Danish forebears.
After a long day of fighting, he even slays the king himself in hand-to-hand combat.
