The owner of the hotel.
* ButtMonkey: Harvey is an odd example, often being on the receiving end of Jimmy's nastier tricks. Worsened by the fact that Jimmy is a mere boy doing this while Harvey is an adult, unable to stop him.
* HighPressureBlood: Once Harvey wrenches the letter opener from his neck, a high volume of blood pours out. It is oddly graphic for this game, which features little gore.
