Biography

Harvey was the hotel manager prior to his death, likely hired after Hugo Hall's murder.

He had a turbulent relationship with Jimmy; when Jimmy began acting odd, he was concerned about his mental health and his imagination. He urged Rose to call Doctor Bose to come see what was wrong, and help him. When Jimmy began making up lies about Doctor Bose physically and sexually assaulting him, Harvey was the first to see through it, and attempted to convince Rose it wasn't true. He had previously found Jimmy's scrapbook, containing news clippings about abusive doctors and teachers in similar circumstances. Harvey confronted Jimmy, and, now angry at him personally, took a bat and smashed up his television and game consoles. Jimmy, under Hugo's control, then became violent towards Harvey; Jimmy rigged a crossbow to shoot him when he opened the door to Jimmy's room.

Harvey went to the hospital to receive stitches and tetanus shots, and when he came back, Jimmy was hiding in the basement. Harvey got the keys and locked him in the boiler room, taunting him, before limping back to the elevator. He came back down a short time later when the hotel caught fire (set by Jimmy) and banged on the door to the Boiler room where Jimmy had now barricaded himself, trying to convince Jimmy that it's not worth getting himself killed over. Eventually, the fire was contained and everyone had escaped the building, but Harvey had had enough. He took his gun, a pistol that belonged to his father, and a few rounds of ammunition, and went to go find Jimmy, stating that he had no intention of shooting him without need, only wanting him out of the hotel, not dead.

Harvey chased Jimmy around the ground level of the hotel, and eventually Jimmy hid in backstage. Once he'd gotten the upper hand, Jimmy stabbed him in the neck with a letter opener fashioned into a dagger. Harvey bled out on the backstage floor, and died.

The police ruled Harvey's death as being out of legal self-defense; Rose proved that Harvey had a loaded gun, and that Jimmy would have died had he not acted.

Trivia

 * The credits list Harvey's full name as 'Harvey Hall'. The creator of the game confirmed that it was a mistake that slipped by and he has no relation to Rose, Jimmy, or Hugo, this can be read here
 * Harvey's father's gun is a post-World War II civilian Colt M1911A1, chambered in .45 ACP. Given that Jimmy was likely a teenager by this point in the story (around the late 80s), it is believable that his father owned it. When the player finds the gun, the 3D model has a small mistake; the magazine release button next to the grip has been replaced with a flush screw.
