Biography[]
"Happy" Harry was a business owner and the operator of Happy Harry's Bar & Grill located in New York City, New York. Happy Harry's clientele tended towards the seedier side of life, and it was not uncommon to see various criminals, thugs and underworld figures visiting the establishment.
In October, 1985, the vigilante known as Rorschach entered Happy Harry's and began asking Harry questions concerning the recent murder of a former colleague, Edward Blake. Harry began sweating and was suitably nervous to see Rorschach, implying that Rorschach may have visited this establishment in the past. Harry knew nothing about Blake's death.
