Harry is our fixer. He's been getting us jobs ever since Ocelot and
I started in this business several years ago. He's irascible,
cantankerous, boorish, and the best fixer in Seattle. Don't tell
him I said this, though. I don't want to give him the satisfaction.
Harry is human, somewhere in his late 40's to mid 50's, and I don't think he's
seen most of his hair in the last decade. He rather closely resembles
an old flatscreen television character from the previous century; what
was the name...? Len...Les...Lou. That's it. Lou Grant. Complete
with the requisite middle-age desk job paunch.

I suspect he's been in the business for a very long time, because
he almost always manages to get us prime jobs that pay well and offer
a high degree of variety. On the rare occasions when he makes a mistake
and we're betrayed by our employer, Harry is the first one to step
in and help us rectify the situation. I give Harry a great deal of
grief, but I'm certain he knows the level of my respect for him. At
least for his professionalism. I can't, however, say that I care
for his taste in women.
