Harrison accessed the black market of alien species, paying millions to gain a group of Skullions, who crash-landed in central Asia, as slaves. Harrison forced them to maintain a hologram of Joseph Serf, the real Serf having died in a skiing accident in Val d'Isère in 2007.

He controlled them using neck collars which would electrify when he activated his pen. Harrison's pen had 10 levels of punishment; level 10 was lethal. Harrison wanted to make profit by selling the SerfBoard to everyone using the Serf hologram's hypnotic ability. The claimed the SerfBoard to be revolutionary while in reality it was, in Harrison's own words, "rubbish". Harrison's pen was destroyed by Lionel Carson who had been hypnotised by Serf. His plot was foiled by Sarah Jane Smith. Luke Smith made the hologram convince people to not care about the SerfBoard. Sarah Jane had a ship sent from Skultos to rescue the Skullions. However, an angry Harrison advanced on the Skullions as they were transported to the ship, resulting in him being transported onboard as well. The ship then left Earth, and Luke hoped that the Skullions would make Harrison work for them this time. (TV: The Man Who Never Was)

Personality

Harrison was a cold-hearted businessman, who didn't care about anyone else. He believed that the exchange of money for services and goods, even goods such as slaves, were the way of the world. He was only interested in making profit from the SerfBoards. He didn't care about the Skullions' pain and when Plark told him that they were thirsty, Harrison sadistically sprayed water on them, which burned Skullions, indicating that they were not to stop working.
