Hersh

Dr. Harsh was a doctor at Raccoon General Hospital and one of George Hamilton's associates, who chose to stay at the hospital and treat the sick and wounded for as long as possible. He appears to be of Indian descent.

Biography
A group of survivors encountered Dr. Harsh when they took shelter inside, attempting to locate medical supplies. Dr. Harsh explained to the survivors that the hospital was no longer a safe place to stay and that they should escape as soon as he could find a way to repair the elevator.

When he restored power to the elevator, a group of leeches appeared. He tried to escape by climbing over a barricade that was blocking the survivors path but he fell in the process. When he regained his composure, he realized his wounded hand (which was bleeding) had attracted the creature, and he screamed before his seemingly-inevitable death.

His body was used by the leeches to form a base for their form, moving him like a marionette in search of survivors to feed on blood. He was killed in the fixed temperature laboratory.

Gameplay
Harsh is unlockable as a playable character in the original Outbreak and in File #2 via data convert. He starts in DANGER status with a Hemostat in his inventory. He is a George-type character, as is the case with most doctor NPCs, so he comes with George's medicine kit to make medicine out of herbs.

Further notes

 * After killing the Leech man in the Fixed Temperature Laboratory, the survivors will be surprised to find out what Harsh had become and will make comments about it.
 * Harsh's name was misspelled as "Hursh" in the English localization of Resident Evil Outbreak.
