He never stops. He only gets worse. In his adolescence, Harry was a member of a street-gang comprised of eight delinquents from Faubourg and North Jamrock calling themselves The Fifteenth Indotribe. Of all the former members, Harry is the only one who still lives. Harry's twenties coincided with " the New ", a time of excess and opulence triggered by an economic upswing in both the Coalition of Nations and Revachol, and leading to the birth of a new music genre, disco, of which Harry himself became a fan.
He became especially fond of the Revacholian Disco superstar Guillaume Le Million , whose stage persona and mannerisms he would try to emulate, leading to him adopting The Expression.

Some time in the past, Harry purchased the horrific necktie , [45] which he gradually started to project a hyperactive and self-destructive personality onto, compelling him to dress in increasingly "disco" clothes, [46] and forget his problems through drinking and substance abuse.

When they arrived, Harry drove off the rest of the unit, screaming at them to "fuck off" because they were "cramping [his] style. He was the "Detective God. All will burn. Detect or die! He harassed the patrons at the Whirling-in-Rags , waving his gun in their faces and making graphic suicide jokes.
The definite cause of Harry's amnesia is unknown, though he theorizes that it may be a side effect of pale exposure stemming from the two-millimeter hole in the church.
