Harris Gartner

Appearance:
Harris Gartner is an incredibly large Lycan, and rumors circulate suggesting he has no bone structure, instead relying solely upon a purely muscle-based structure. He has long brown hair which is usually hidden by his uniform, and sports a heavy tan.

Instead of the standard blue-white-black uniform, he wears a thick black armor suit with dark blue trim, which supports numerous spiked edges and razor-sharp protrusions which he refers to as 'counter-blades'.

His other main distinguishing feature is his neck, which protrudes almost straight forward. His armor was even designed with metal plating to cover the exposed neck region.

Personality:
Harris displays an extreme sense of blood lust, surpassing most other Lycans, and even being appointed by the Empress because of this attribute, regardless of the fact that he openly wants to usurp the empire. His prefered means of combat is tearing off the limbs of his opponents, usually facing them in direct combat, sending the rest of his forces to face the masses. In spite of being extremely vicious in combat, he doesn't appear to experience any other emotion, positive or negative, and spends almost all the rest of his time plotting strategies. Even though he is the only known Original Lycan who is not immune to pain, he doesn't react to it, indicating his mind might not be able to process any other sensation due to the overwhelming thirst for combat.

History:
Prior to 0 Hour, it is speculated that he killed several thousand humans throughout his lifetime, their deaths labeled as disappearances.

After he was assigned to the mainland, he gathered and organized the Full and Partial Lycans in the central states who had only recently transformed. From that point, he informed them of the situation and united them as a fighting force, ordering them to spread out and either kill or infect as many people as possible, then bring the newly created Lycans to receive their own instructions, and repeat the process. This approach is estimated to have killed over 20 million humans, and transformed an additional 43 million into Lycans.

While the majority of these killings were carried out by his new subordinents, Harris also hunted humans at the front of his troops each time he re-positioned his mobile headquarters. During which time, he personally killed more than 230 humans, many of whom were armed, but unable to present a threat against the Field Marshal.

Upon hearing the order issued by the Joint Empress to stop killing humans, he attempts to reject that order, leading to his unexpected death. Lisa Winters, viewing his refusal to withdraw as a betrayal, remotely activated the Corruption compound which had been dorment in his body, quickly turning his flesh into a pulsating yellow puss, killing him and leaving his armor standing in the position in which he died.
