Harry Harris (ハリー・ハリス, Harī Harisu^?) is an agent of the now-defunct American government organization AMS. The partner of Amy Crystal, he is a supporting character in The House of the Dead 2.

Biography

Information regarding Harry remains obscure. Both secretive and mysterious, he remains an enigma among the other AMS Agents. He has been described as gloomy and expressionless, and refuses to delve into his past.^[2]

2000 incident

Main article: The House of the Dead 2

On February 26, 2000, an outbreak of creatures hit an unnamed city. Harry and Amy were sent by the AMS to neutralize the threat and evacuate citizens. The pair eventually met agents James Taylor and Gary Stewart after the latter two killed the massive Judgment. Harry noticed that the outbreak was reminiscent of the 1998 Curien Case. Both parties agreed to meet at Sunset Bridge.

After James and Gary killed the aquatic Hierophant, Harry piloted the group on a boat through the city canals. He revealed that Caleb Goldman, head of the DBR Corporation and Dr. Curien's financier, had orchestrated the outbreak. Goldman left a message on Amy's phone, inviting the agents to meet him at the coliseum on the north side of the city; despite fearing this to be a trap, Harry insisted that they go.

James and Gary disembarked the boat, agreeing to reach the coliseum via the sewers. Meanwhile, the chainsaw-wielding Strength ambushed Harry and Amy; Amy frantically called James and Gary -- who had just killed Tower -- before getting cut off. The agents later found Amy and a wounded Harry inside a giant cage with Strength, whom they defeat.

Harry gave James and Gary the address of Goldman's headquarters, as well as the keys to his car. The pair went on to defeat Goldman's magnum opus, Emperor, and Goldman committed suicide.

His fate is ultimately shown in two of the game's multiple endings. In the "normal" ending, Harry is alive and is among many characters greeting James and Gary outside of Goldman's headquarters. In the "good" ending, agent Thomas Rogan confirms Harry's survival. The "bad" ending (which features an undead Goldman) leaves Harry's fate ambiguous.

Harry also appears in a flashback during The House of the Dead III's attract mode.

Appearance

Harry wears dark glasses, a black jacket with a white shirt with a gray tie, and matching gray pants with green dress shoes. Him and G have similar short, black hair and sideburns.

Quotes

"Well the 1998 Curien case. Guess who was behind it. It was Goldman. He's the head one of the most eminent financial group and a expert on the Genome theory. We have to stop him..."

Trivia

The Sega Dreamcast manual for The House of the Dead 2 states that Harry's nationality is unknown, and that he is secretive about his past. It also describes him as "gloomy" and expressionless.^[1]
Harry is available as a costume in The House of the Dead 2's Original Mode.

+{{Main|The House of the Dead 2}}
+On February 26, 2000, an outbreak of [[creatures]] hit an unnamed city. Harry and Amy were sent by the AMS to neutralize the threat and evacuate citizens. The pair eventually met agents [[James Taylor]] and [[Gary Stewart]] after the latter two killed the massive [[Judgment]]. Harry noticed that the outbreak was reminiscent of the [[The House of the Dead|1998 Curien Case]]. Both parties agreed to meet at Sunset Bridge.
+After James and Gary killed the aquatic [[Hierophant]], Harry piloted the group on a boat through the city canals. He revealed that [[Caleb Goldman]], head of the [[DBR Corporation]] and [[Dr. Curien]]'s financier, had orchestrated the outbreak. Goldman left a message on Amy's phone, inviting the agents to meet him at the coliseum on the north side of the city; despite fearing this to be a trap, Harry insisted that they go.
-The two pairs meet again just before battling The [[Hierophant]] at the end of Chapter 2, they then board a motorboat to another part of the city along the riverside. On the way, and right before Chapter 3, Harry explains that the mastermind behind the infestation is [[Goldman]]: the head of one of the most eminent financial groups and an expert in genome theory. Shortly afterwards, Amy gets a call from the AMS headquarters, saying that Goldman called and said he would be waiting at the coliseum at the side of the city. Though Harry clearly states that it could be a trap, he nevertheless insisted they go on anyways. James and Gary disembark the boat shortly thereafter, once again parting ways with the others and continue on their way via another route through the sewers. Some time after this, after battling The [[Tower]], Amy calls James and Gary saying that they're in a serious state as something terrible is happening on their end, only for the call to be cut short by their attacker, the monstrous behemoth, The [[Strength]].
+James and Gary disembarked the boat, agreeing to reach the coliseum via the sewers. Meanwhile, the chainsaw-wielding [[Strength]] ambushed Harry and Amy; Amy frantically called James and Gary -- who had just killed [[Tower]] -- before getting cut off. The agents later found Amy and a wounded Harry inside a giant cage with Strength, whom they defeat.
-At the end of Chapter 4, James and Gary finally make it to the Colosseum and briefly find themselves face to face with Goldman via a giant TV screen. He ends his broadcast by directing the two agents attention to a giant cage emerging from the ground, where Amy and a wounded Harry are trapped inside with Strength. After the ensuing boss fight (resulting in Strength's death), James and Gary approach a wounded Harry, who tells them the location of the building where Goldman is waiting as well his car which they can use to get there. After James and Gary leave, he doesn't appear again, unless/until the default ending - where G, Amy, Harry, and a group of civilians greet the two agents after they exit Goldman's building. Also, in the good ending, [[Thomas Rogan]] mentions that G and Harry are alright.
+Harry gave James and Gary the address of [[Goldman Building|Goldman's headquarters]], as well as the keys to his car. The pair went on to defeat Goldman's magnum opus, [[Emperor]], and Goldman committed suicide.

 ==Trivia==
+*The Sega Dreamcast manual for ''The House of the Dead 2'' states that Harry's nationality is unknown, and that he is secretive about his past. It also describes him as "gloomy" and expressionless.<ref name="Sega Dreamcast manual" />
-*Harry carries a Sig Sauer P228 Compact (James also has the longer version of the Sig Sauer P228)
+*Harry is available as a costume in ''The House of the Dead 2''<nowiki/>'s [[Original Mode (The House of the Dead 2)|Original Mode]].
-*Fans of the series have speculated that Harry Harris might be [[The Mystery Man]] or someone else who appears in the endings of The House of the Dead 3 and The House of the Dead 4, mostly due to the latter's peculiar behavior and limping walk, which could be linked to the injury Harry sustained at the hands of The Strength in The House of the Dead 2.
-*Harry has been so seriously considered to be the Mystery Man that die hard fans of the series have sent emails harassing Sega to reveal him in the next game and actually make him the mystery man if he already isn't.
+== References ==
-*Another interesting theory suggest that Harry is actually Goldman's twin brother. This is suspected because of their similar appearance,age range,build and the fact that Harry's nationality remains a mystery and no one knows about his past,according to the dreamcast manual. It could be possible that he (or Goldman) changed their names to protect their identities.
