appearance

Harry sports a greasy,unkempt mullet and mutton chops by default. His nose is red and bulbous, and beneath his facial hair, his face is swollen due to his copious consumption of alcohol .Harry's jaw is crooked from contracting polio as a child, and he has a dimple on his chin. Should Harry choose to take on the task to turn back the wheels of time as part of the fascist political vision quest, he will appear slightly more put-together, with slicked back hair and (if he has not shaved) neater facial hair. He always wears disco-style clothes and his terrible colorful tie.

history

Harrier Du Bois was born in ‘07, the last year of the Commune of Revachol, before the Coalition's attack, at a time when the Antecentennial Revolution was still going strong. He was born on the ground floor of Revachol's Old Military Hospital in The Pox during a snowstorm. As a child, he suffered a bout of partial infantile paralysis caused by polio, and though he would for the most part physically recover from this condition, it gave him a permanent twinge in his jaw that affects pronunciation of certain words. 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 trigged 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.

history

Prior to joining the RCM Harry was a high school gym teacher in Grand Couron. He met Dora Ingerlund, his future fiancée, while the two waited at a bus stop. She inspired him to join the Revachol Citizens Militia at the age of 26. Over his 18 total years of service Harry solved 216 cases with a total of 3 confirmed kills, an extremely low number for a member of Precinct 41. His impressive ratio of solved cases placed him above 90 percent of officers in the entire RCM, and he reached the rank of lieutenant along with two additional offered promotions, which he declined, instead being granted the title of lieutenant double-yefreitor and retaining his position as head of the Major Crimes Unit in Precinct 41's C-Wing. Despite his statistics, Harry's intense caseload is implied to have only been made possible through the liberal use of stimulants and other drugs, namely alcohol, which led to instability and unpredictable behaviour while on the job. During a recent case, titled "THE UNSOLVABLE CASE", Harry had a drunken outburst where he rendered a man unable to walk after beating him with his ledger, and some time prior to this he both missed a shot aimed at a fleeing suspect, who he hit in the pelvis, and physically held a woman in his apartment against her will. He is also generally known, feared and even suspected to be one of La Puta Madre's peones by the public. Harry's erratic behaviour drove off many former members of Precinct 41, including Guillaume Bevy, but he was not disciplined due to his otherwise exceptional work, and was even offered a promotion during this period. Approximately six years before the events of Disco Elysium, Dora left Harry and moved to Mirova.
