Henli V was a member of the imperial House of Ghulan Corrino. In 3743 AG he usurped the throne from Henli IV, possibly because he was just grandson of his predecessor, and Henli V felt he was closer to immediate succession. In any case, he managed to rule only for 3 days when his rule ended prematurely. With him, ended the House of Ghulan Corrino and he was succeeded by Henoor IV.
