HARRY

Francis Doyle met Harriet when they were both not yet twenty, and it was a "madly in love couldn't live without each other thing." However, as she tells her husband when she comes to him in the fall of 1999, looking for a divorce, "times change, 'cause here we are—four years later—living just fine."

Doyle, working as a third grade teacher, was unaware of his heritage until at age 21 his Brachen blood manifested. Harriet freaked. However, as time went on, Harry became fascinated by the demon community she had previously never imagined existed. Her husband, however, could not come to grips with the fact that he was not wholly human, and was bitter and angry. They argued and fought incessantly as he spiralled downward, taking up gambling and drinking, and in the end, she left Doyle. However, Doyle believes she had cause, as he drove her away. After meeting Harry again, and putting the regrets of his past behind him, Doyle believed his marriage "would've had a better chance if maybe me and Harriet had talked more. Really let each other in."

Harry became an ethnodemonologist, and a "darned good one" at that. She studies demons clans all over the world, and while studying an anomovic clan in Southern California she fell in love with restaurant owner Richard Straley. However, when Richard wanted to eat her ex-husband's brains during the bachelor party, they had a falling out and the wedding was off. Harry remained in Los Angeles, but with no plans to reunite with Doyle, who was pursuing a relationship with his co-worker Cordelia when he was killed.
