Who is Hank Johnson 
Who's Who of Ingress: Henry "Hank" Johnson
#OperationEssex  #WWoIngress

Dr. Henry "Hank" Johnson is  the star of the archeology based reality series, NOMAD, a former soldier, a scientist (see http://youtu.be/cXnXzT_6FSk ) and  an XM Sensitive ( see 
http://youtu.be/IsF2AFrh7pk ) His unique skills in XM brought him to the Niantic Project in order to study his sensitivity.

Relationship to Ezekiel Calvin

Earlier in his academic career, Hank Johnson attracted the attention Dr. Ezekiel Calvin for his research on the ancient secret society known as 13Magnus. https://plus.google.com/105211554081025512763/posts/62MWByfPmrE

The sponsorship of Dr. Calvin and his associates allowed Hank to explore the connections between XM, glyphs and the influence on different civilizations. NOMAD, often served as a cover for his research in less welcoming locations.  Hank's research led him to various Anomalies around the world including Peshawar, Afghanistan and the Cahokia Mounds in Crossplains, Texas (which also was the subject of his thesis http://www.nianticproject.com/?id=sc227a ). His fascination with the Cahokia Mounds in particular would ultimately lead him to side with the Enlightened faction.

Hank Johnson's special relationship with Dr. Calvin and the usefulness of his NOMAD trips may have been influential in being granted special leave from the Niantic project to film his reality show. On a NOMAD trip to the Congo, Hank Johnson and fellow archeologist Conrad Yeats had a very close first encounter with Dark XM and the illicit practices of Antonine Smith of Hulong Transglobal  in mining the substance. (See The Alignment Ingress)  However due to these frequent trips, Hank was not present for the Epiphany Night disaster.

Hank has continued to maintain contact with Dr. Calvin after the close of the Niantic Project, performing various jobs that are only occasionally revealed. (see Ingress: Level 8)

Relationship with Devra Blogdanovich

Dr. Johnson's research also led him to the Arecibo Conservatory in Puerto Rico where he met and started a  romantic relationship with a younger+Devra Bogdanovich .Together,  they published a paper on a series of glyphs that resurfaced years later during 13Magnus.

He would encounter Devra again at the Niantic Project before she made her escape to +Visur. Any hopes of rekindling the relationship ended messily when Hank discovered that Devra had Visur agents spy on him during a secret meeting.

When they met again at 13Magnus: Seattle, Hank greeted her coldly and left stating that he didn't trust anyone anymore.

Recently, Dr. Johnson announced that he will be going to Phoenix, Arizona on December 7th  to film his next episode of NOMAD on the Hohokam people. Visur Technology  indicates that he is searching for clues to an ancient 13Magnus stronghold.
