Other Information

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.

The Hive

George, Jim Chapman, and Cindy Lennox 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, the "Leech Zombie" 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 inevitable death.

After he died, the barricade that was once blocking the path was gone. He appeared as the new "Leech Zombie", attempting to feed on the survivors until he was killed in the Fixed Temperature Laboratory inside the hospital.

Trivia

• 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.
• Harsh is unlockable as a playable NPC in the Original Outbreak and in File #2 via data convert. He starts in Danger status with a Hemostat Capsule 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.
