Harry Warden (reboot)

Harry Warden is the main antagonist of the My Bloody Valentine reboot, a re-imagining of the original film. He is an alternate and updated version of his original incarnation of the same name. Unlike the original Harry Warden, this reboot version seems to be far more intelligent, utilizing traps and tunnels around the mine in Valentine Bluffs to kill his victims.
==History==
===Early life===
Born In 1969, with severe disfigurements and mental handicaps, Harry, as a child, lived near Valentine Bluffs with his mother Megan Warden. Brought to Valentine Bluffs at one point by his mother, Harry (who was 11 at the time), seemingly drowned in the lake, after supervisors failed to watch him, but in reality, Harry survived this near-drowning. Unfortunately, his mother, believing her son has died, went on a homicidal rampage in 1980, killing several people at Valentine Bluffs to avenge her son's apparent demise. After his mother killed several people, Harry witnesses her being beheaded with a pickaxe by the sole remaining person. As the person fled, Harry kept hearing voices, telling him to kill future people to avenge "his", and mother's death. To do this, he collected the discarded pickaxe, his mother's severed head, and a locket she carried, which contained a picture of himself and a much younger Megan. For the next several years, Harry would live as a hermit in the mine.
Living among the dilapidated cabins of Valentine Bluffs and in the mine system below the area, Harry steals what he needs from nearby residences and covers his deformed face wearing mining gear. Harry began to kill those who trespass on his territory, often disposing of the bodies of his victims, making it seem as though they had simply disappeared. The locals of Valentine Bluffa soon became aware of Harry, and avoided the old town, believing that if they left him alone he would do likewise (a theory supported by his lack of hostility prior to the arrival of trespassers).
===Rampage===
In 2008, a group of youths led by a boy named Wade hiked to Valentine Bluffs. After the group sets up camp, Wade went off into the night to urinate and stumbled upon the marijuana, but as soon as he did, Harry murdered the boy with his pickaxe. With Wade dead, Harry spied on Richie and Amanda. After having his presence sensed by Amanda, she sent Richie to confront the spy (whom they believe to be Wade); As a result, Harry proceeded to attack Amanda. After trapping Amanda inside her sleeping bag, the miner killed her by dangling her upside-down from a tree over a campfire. After setting a bear trap nearby, Richie soon met his fate as he rushed to try and help Amanda.
With Richie incapacitated, Harry ventured to his and his mother's old house, where he attacked Liv Miller and her boyfriend Michael. Entering a tunnel beneath the house, Harry began to shove his pickaxe up through the floorboards, injuring Mike, who he drags into the tunnels through a trapdoor and finishes off. Chasing Liv back to the campsite, Harry killed Richie with his pickaxe after Liv attempted to help her friend out of the bear trap. Tearing his pickaxe out of Richie's head, Harry prepared to strike Liv down too but relents at the last second, noticing the girl's resemblance to his mother Megan when she was younger. Taking Liv back to his lair, Harry shackled her to the wall and gives her his mother's locket. Afterwards, Harry made sure to dispose the bodies of Liv's friends, leaving practically no trace of them, stumping the authorities.
Six weeks after abducting Liv and murdering her friends, Harry travels to a farm, an employee of which, Donnie, had infringed upon his territory to take some of the marijuana Wade had been after. Luring Donnie up into the attic of a barn, Harry attacked him, and during the scuffle, had his miner mask pulled off. With Donnie startled by his now exposed face, Harry killed the farmhand by slashing his throat with a pickaxe. After killing Donnie, Harry put his mask back on.
Returning to Valentine Bluffs, Harry found a group of college students traveling to start off party in a house owned by the group's leader, Triston Sutton. While Nolan and his girlfriend Chelsea waterski on the lake, Harry killed Nolan while he was driving Triston's motorboat by shooting him in the head from afar with a bow and arrow. Chelsea, who had accidentally been hit by the boat after Nolan died and lost control of it, hid from him under the dock. After looking around for her, Harry spotted her and stabbed her in the head with his pickaxe through the dock slats. When night fell, Harry, carrying Donnie's corpse, went back to the mine. After hearing noises uttered by the hidden Parker Miller (Liv's brother) and his friend Karen Montgomery, he turned on the lights and began to thrash about in search of the cause of the noise. After knocking several stacked canoes over, Harry finally gave up in his search and continued to transport Donnie's body to his lair. In the mine, Harry takes the body to his storage and leaves Parker's bag (which he found on the campgrounds) with Liv. Settling down, Harry began to sharpen his pickaxe, but was suddenly interrupted after experiencing a flashback of his mother's death, prompting him to throw a tantrum and begin to thrashing him wildly again, nearly attacking the panicking Liv before she soothes him by saying his name and showing him his mother's locket. After being calmed down, Harry left Liv.
Going to Triston's house sometime later, Harry watches Triston and Bree, but he sees a light in the tool shed and heads towards it where he confronts Chad. After attacking Chad, the boy tried to defend himself with a screwdriver, but also met his fate, after Harry grabbed the tool and stabs him in the throat with it. After hanging Chad's corpse up from the shed ceiling, Harry then returns to the window where he saw Triston and Bree, but sees a escaped Liv who tries to get the orgasming lovers attention by knocking on the window is captured before they can her by Harry and dragged back to his lair. After returning Liv, Harry then cuts the lights to the house. Harry then attacks Lawrence, who had come in search of Chad. Fighting with Lawrence, Harry lost his grasp on the boy, who escapes from the shed and began running back to Triston's house. Grabbing an axe, Harry hurls the weapon at the fleeing Lawrence's back, severely injuring him. After leaving Lawrence alive for several minutes in attempt to lure his friends out of the house has failed, Harry finished Lawrence off and climbed onto the roof of Triston's house. Sneaking in, Harry killed Bree by impaling her on a door hook and, shortly afterward, kills Officer Clarkson by stabbing him in the eye with a fireplace poker, the officer having been earlier called to the house by Parker.
When Parker, Karen, and Triston run from the house, Harry went after Triston, following him to the main road. When a motorist stops to help Triston, Harry, before Triston can hop in the driver's pickup truck, skewered the boy with his pickaxe and subsequently impales him on one of several spikes protruding from the back of the truck. After the truck driver flees in a panic with Triston still hanging on the back of his vehicle, Harry tracks Parker and Karen down to the tunnels, where the duo had found and freed Liv. Chasing after the three, Harry manages to murder Karen by impaling her with his pickaxe before following the Miller siblings through a tunnel which leads to an overturned bus. Catching up with Parker, Harry begins beating him, only to be distracted by Liv long enough for her and her brother to escape to the barn where Donnie worked.
Fighting with Parker in the barn, Harry is injured when, Parker sets a bear trap off on his shoulder (after being distracted by Liv disguised as his mother) and wraps a hanging chain around his neck with Liv before tossing one end of the chain into Donnie's woodchipper. Lifted off the ground due to the chain being caught in the spinning blades of the woodchipper, Harry, before this hanging kills him, falls to the ground when the wooden beam the chain was thrown over breaks. Still restrained by the chain and woodchipper, Harry, as he tries to attack, is stabbed in the chest by Liv, an attack which seemingly kills him.
After being stabbed, the presumably dead Harry is brought to the beach, where he, his mask and Megan's locket are dumped in the lake by Liv and Parker. Falling to the bottom of the lake, Harry, still alive and very angry, shoots upward and comes crashing through the dock and grabs Liv, leaving all three fates ambiguous.
==Personality==
As a young boy, Harry was often bullied and teased relentlessly by fellow campers and often ignored by counselors due to his disfiguring appearance and the only one who showed him any sympathy was his mother alone. 
After his supposed drowning and Megan's massacre and eventual death (which he witnessed), Harry eventually grew up into a deeply disturbed and misanthropic individual. Harry is shown to prefer to isolate himself from others and was horribly territorial as he would kill anyone who stepped foot on his turf. He lacks little if any empathy for his victims as he only has sympathy for his mother. 
Despite his disfigurements, Harry is not at all foolish and is extremely skilled at tricking and out smarting his victims. He is also a resourceful and skilled hunter as he became somewhat of a survivalist living in the woods on his own. Despite this, Harry has a very short temper and if irritated in the slightest will often lash out in anger and become extremely violent (evidenced by his memory of his mother's decapitation, which resulted in him lashing out). 
Harry is also highly deluded and mentally broken as he comes to think that Liv Miller is his mother which is why he keeps her chained in his lair, reminding him of the only person who showed him any love. His love for his mother is the only empathy Harry has which is shown as he always has her locket with him and why he keeps her decapitated head or any remnants of her in general.
==Physical appearance==
Unmasked, he is once again bald (with dirty-blonde longish hair projecting backwards), skull deformities similar to his original's My Bloody Valentine Part II appearance, somewhat lean or overweight build, his right eye is grayed over (possibly blindness due to severe cataract) and his malformed lips in cleft palate completely expose his deformed gums and teeth.
