Hank was a Builder and former Runner. Thomas saw the name "Hank" written on the top right corner of the Map of Section 8 of the Maze when Minho introduced him to the Map Room. This implies it was the section Hank travelled through while he ran the Maze.

The Maze Runner[]
Hank was good friends with Gally, Dan, and another Glader, the latter of whom he was often seen talking with. When Ben was being Banished, he was seen watching from afar. Hank was a Runner, but after Alby got stung by a Griever after going with Minho into the Maze to retrace Ben's steps, he and Dan talked with Gally and chose to become Builders, as they were scared of going back into the Maze and getting stung. When Gally started to become suspicious of Thomas, Hank agreed with Gally, thinking that Thomas should have some sort of punishment for going out into the Maze at night.
When the Griever Attack started, Hank went with Gally and Dan to hide in the Box, Hank holding a torch and following Gally's urging to be quiet so that the Grievers wouldn't hear them. While they were hiding, Unnamed Glader 14 yelled at them to let him in, but before Gally could open the doors, a Griever grabbed and yanked him away. After that, alongside a handful of other Gladers, Hank survived the Griever Attack. The next day, despite not being seen, Hank chose to stay with Gally's group in the Glade instead of joining Thomas' group in escaping, but was later left behind alongside Gally's group by Gally, who also escaped.
Trivia[]
- There appeared to be an error in the film adaptation regarding Hank's location when the Grievers attacked the Glade: at first, he is with Gally and Dan in the Box, but later, he ends up appearing inside the hut alongside the others.
- Dan was Hank's running partner before they became Builders. This was shown in a deleted scene when Thomas carved his name into the wall.
- It is possible Hank and Henry are actually the same person. This is because both are confirmed to have survived the Griever Attack and the fact Hank is traditionally used as a diminutive form of Henry.
