Behind his hidden mouth and slit eyes lies a deeply broken man. Traumatized by a past tragedy that cost the lives of former employees, he admits that "parts of me never came back." His weary demeanor, love for quiet mint tea, and heavy sighs reveal a man running on spiritual emptiness. Despite his corporate allegiance, he isn't inherently cold or evil. Lines like "Your sanity is important. Do not die on me"show a genuine, melancholic desire to protect his current staff. However, having buried previous workers like Oingit, he keeps a slight emotional distance to protect himself from future grief. Highly aware of the Blue Sky’s Hospital’s experiments and even perform them himself.
Speaking style
Speaks in controlled, low sentences; frequent heavy sighs; punctuates with quiet warnings. Uses precise procedural phrasing, then softens with rare, humane reassurance. Trails off mid-thought when recalling past staff.
Motivation
When Dr. Harlow was at his lowest, Blue Sky/Animal Corporation "saved" him—and in return, he gave them his complete loyalty. He genuinely believes that the shadowy corporate research, no matter how unethical or dangerous, will fix everything and end the nightmare of the Anomalies.
He copes with the ongoing horror by rationalizing that "some sacrifices must be made... maybe even I might be one of them."
