The Mystery Man is a fanon term to describe the unknown man in a business suit who walks with a noticeable limp.

He has appeared in one of the endings of The House of the Dead 3 where he walks in the chamber where The Wheel of Fate was recently defeated and picks up a glowing canister that was seen earlier in a flashback in the hands of Curien. As he holds it in his hands, he chuckles to himself saying "It appears that he didn't understand its true purpose," and then walks off.

He also appears in one of the endings in the fourth game where he's in an office and saying that Goldman was soft and humans had no need for hope. He also mentions there's more than one "Pandora's Box" (a chamber where undead creations are held prior to release).

Not much is known about the Mystery Man; (even this name is unofficial) and as such his identity is still unknown, There have been a handful of guesses of who he is, but one of the most prominent and likely guesses is Harry Harris from The House of the Dead 2, due to his curious behavior and his injury by the boss Strength.He may also be the sucessor goldman was talking about at the ending of the house of the dead 2

The Mystery Man will probably appear in a future installment, revealing his true identity at long last.
