He was one of the more successful pimps in London and business didn't get worse for him, when the killings started. It got worse when he fled from Nightcrawler and Jacqueline and fell over a trash can. Jacqueline turned into the Ripper and tried to kill him. Harry was saved by Nightcrawler and couldn't resist showing his luck in front of Nightcrawler. The hero threatened Harry to leave the pimp business and Harry decided to leave London and get a job at his cousin's bakery in Cambridge.
