Early Life

Eventually as the various businesses and Nomad clans rebuilt Night City, Harold and his family into a proper house with all the benefits of modern day civilization. Harold wanted to keep building Night City and make sure it would never revert back to chaos, because of this he later joined the NCPD and eventually became a detective.

Harold at some point was partnered with officer River Ward.

2077
In 2077, Night City's Mayor Lucius Rhyne was killed at a secret sex club, the Red Queen's Race, with a spiked BD. Harold was sent in by Deputy Mayor Weldon Holt to cover it up and then move the mayor's body discreetly back to his place and say he died of heart complications instead, which Harold readily complied to. Despite this, his partner, River, couldn't let go of the idea that the mayor died under suspicious circumstances and Harold repeatedly told River to just let it go as his supervisor had ordered him to do so.


 * While Harold and River were grabbing a bite to eat at Chubby Buffalo's BBQ, V approached them. Once Harold realized the mercenary was there to talk about the mayor's untimely death, Harold once more told his partner he should stop trying to re-open a closed case but this fell on deaf ears as River noted he was merely listening to some gossip, nothing more. Exasperated, Harold left the two to talk as he needed to go pick up his daughter.
 * Some time after that, Harold got a call from River, requesting they meet up to talk. The two met up once more at the diner, with V still in attendance with River. Once River made it clear he knew Harold's part in the coverup regarding the late mayor's death, Harold confirmed it, but re-asserted he did it to look out for his NCPD family and unlike River he had no objections to doing so as nobody was clean in Night City. While Harold didn't reveal it was Holt that told him to cover it up, River was able to deduce it anyways and said he'd file a report with Internal Affairs with Harold's confession. Unfazed by this, Harold remarked it wouldn't get River anywhere other than put him in the higher ups' sights and, with that, he then drove off. As Harold guessed, River was suspended soon after and removed as Harold's partner.
