Overview[]
Henchmen are controllable minions in Evil Genius 2. Serving as the Evil Genius' chief lieutenants, each Henchman can perform daily duties like patrolling the base, communicate with others and engage in combat. Additionally, they can be commanded to moved and have access to a set of unique abilites to aid them in their duties.
Each henchman fulfil a certain role, some focus entirely on combatting the Forces of Justice, whilst others provide support, in the form of misdirection or placing traps and other effects.
Shortly after the start of a new game, the player can select one of four potential Henchmen, the rest become Crime Lords who must be brought to heel before they can be recruited, or else eliminated, much like Super Agents.
New, additional Crime Lords may also be encountered, throughout the course of the campaign, and can be defeated or recruited into the base as the player sees fit. Recruiting a Crime Lord to your roster grants a reasonable sum of money, whilst eliminating them will reward a much heftier bounty.
Up to five Henchmen may be in your employ at any time and any remaining Henchmen quests, already in the Recruit/Kill phase will only show the latter choice until a free slot becomes available, at which point the Recruit option will reappear. While having five Henchmen, Henchmen quests with separate Recruit/Kill quests will not show the Recruit or Kill quests.
Henchmen can also be Executed, similar to Minions, which permanently removes them from play. Recruiting all possible 'core' (non-DLC) Henchmen within a single game also unlocks an Achievement.
