Biography
Early Life
Richard was the brother of Catherine Harries, the pair got on well and both liked science. Richard was a cocaine addict; he had puncture marks on his arm.
Richard was blackmailing George Wallace over an affair with his maid, Beryl Green and Gordon Seavers over his publishing of someone else’s work in his name. His blackmailing of Seavers led to him committing suicide.
At Banquo Manor
Richard was invited by George Wallace to conduct experiments into brainwaves at Banquo Manor. George allowed him to do so due to the blackmailing. He set up a laboratory in the conservatory. He used Rats in his tests and through brainwaves, he was able to transfer knowledge from one rat to its sibling. Richard was able to translate technical French; he did so with a number of books.
John Hopkinson came to give Harries legal advice; Richard looked down upon him and treated him with contempt; Hopkinson did likewise.
Richard was engaged to Susan Seymour, who was considered his opposite in personality. She called off the marriage after they had an argument.
Harries invited Dr. Friedlander to assist in his experiments. He attempted to make up with Susan but was interrupted.
The experiment involved him trying to access a "collective memory" that he believed existed in the sub consciousness. Harries attached himself and his sister via headpieces to his machine. A power overload caused the head pieces to become increasingly hot, Catherine was freed by Hopkinson but Richard was killed. His temples were charred and clack, his body fell into the fires of the damaged machine. When it was eventually pulled out, he was unrecognisable.
Hopkinson had switched around some wires in Harries' experiment causing the overload. He did this in vengeance for Seavers' death.
Harries' body disappeared but was later found returned. While searching the house, Inspector Ian Stratford, John and Kreiner came across the Doctor and Harries. He was seemingly alive but still appeared as he had in death. He then pursued them downstairs. Harries caught John's ankle but he was pulled free. (EDA: The Banquo Legacy)
