Harry Howard is an American astronaut aboard a spaceship dispatched to probe the disappearance of a prior expedition near Inferno II. As part of a multinational crew, his spacesuit bears an American flag insignia for visual identification. His speech features stereotypical American expressions like "Yes Sir!" and "Hi-Yo Silver." Functioning as an expendable narrative element, he lacks individual backstory or development. His role terminates during a planetary encounter with a hostile entity, resulting in his death alongside most crewmates.
