==Overview==
Harold J. Rutherford's folks have well-prospering businesses around Vancouver, SSC, but for Harold, a black sheep, Horizon or, more precisely, Pathfinder Multimedia, one of its subsidiaries, is the family he's been searching for over decades. The fantasy and SF trids made under his supervision are no blockbusters, yet the limited corporate SINner wouldn't change his job even if promised he'd succeed Gary Cline. It's not just him meeting his wife, Lois, there - he found his place to belong there. He doesn't have to fit anyone's expectations of "what befits a dwarf", can lead his life exactly how he wants to, and feels indebted to other people in similar situations who work or used to in the past.

==Aspects Description==

{{AspectTable|



{{NegativeAspect|
|Aspect=Race Traitor
|Description=Many dwarves stick to the general set of stereotypes that is the overarching tightly-knit, tradition-bound mainstream community most maintain. Harold went against the mold of the stubborn, insular, technically-minded dwarf. He's the life of the party, doesn't discriminate based on the metatype and hasn't held a tinkering tool once in his life. After being taken into the Horizon fold, he was essentially disowned by his highly traditional father he's got Daddy Issues with, something marriage to his wife Lois, a human, only exacerbated. As a result, he's disconnected from his extensive family and the old community he grew up in. Most dwarves take offense at this kind of betrayal, resulting in him being hated in those communities.
|HasThematicsApproval=Yes
|}}
{{NegativeAspect|
|Aspect=Working Hours
|Description=A healthy balance between work and private life is paramount if you don't want to burn out. Harold doesn't, so he tunes out of business matters outside of normal PST office hours (9-5, Monday through Friday). Add +5 to the threshold of his contact availability test if trying to contact him at other times (very early in the morning, late in the evening, on the weekends).
|HasThematicsApproval=Yes
|}}



{{PositiveAspect|
|Aspect=Broad Horizons
|Description=While not the highest on the totem pole, Harold is very much part of the Horizon fold. Knowing the right people, picking up gossip, just trivia - it all matters to him. Not a career climber, he maintains a healthy work balance, but still looks up to Gary Cline's ethos. Because of this, he can tell you about Horizon or its subsidiaries, receiving +2 to related rolls.
|}}
{{PositiveAspect|
|Aspect=Networking in Places High and Low
|Description=Being a manager of the less popular fantasy and SF productions of Pathfinder Multimedia, Harold holds a comfortable, though middling, position. This, however, means he's just at the right spot to be some people's superior while being utterly unthreatening to actual bigwigs. Being able to have a good rapport in places high and low, he makes networking tests to connect you with members of Horizon or its subsidiaries at +2.

{{PositiveAspect|
|Aspect=Corporate Rumors
|Description=Even as a Horizon fanboy (rather, precisely because of it), Harold tries to stay aware of what happens on the corporate scene in general. He makes knowledge tests about corporations at +2.

{{PositiveAspect|
|Aspect=Media Grip
|Description=As a manager, especially part of Horizon, you either keep a tight grip on what the news outlets say or don't keep the job for long. Harold makes tests related to the media at +2.

{{PositiveAspect|
|Aspect=Entertainment Insider
