Harvestman and his fellow mobsters escaped the Special Zone before it imploded, acting upon a tip-off from Grimer, as part of his act of revenge against Sonic. He has served The Family for eleven-and-a-half years, and seems to view assassination as something of a sport, having racked up five hundred and eleven kills and two hundred and eleven times he has shot someone point blank with a silenced .45 handgun. He made his first appearance in Sonic the Comic Online in Bitten by the Gambling Bug, finishing a cocktail after assuring Max Gamble that he'd sent Herne to deal with Amy and Tails. He arrived later on to personally ensure that Zip the Flea was planted upon Tails' person, to monitor the Freedom Fighters' movements.
