== Events of the Visual Novel ==
Horatio eventually returned to New Lincoln in early 2018. He returns due to learning that the mob boss that banished him had died and won't be able to try to banish him again. When he gets off the plane at the airport, he is greeted by an old friend. They go to a pizza place and eat. Afterwards, the two of them go home.
The two of them has a conversation until Horatio's grandson comes home and does a school project for President's Day. He would help on the project. After, Horatio would leave to go to his house while telling Eileen that "when Horatio III is done with his project, take him over to my place", with the latter agreeing.
He would commit crimes with his grandson until he is caught by the police and is sent to prison for the time being. After he is released from prison, he went back to committing crimes once again. However, he learns that someone he knew is taking information about him to a government agency and plans to kill her. He eventually does kill her and leaves for Oseburgh.
=== Events of Tales from the Visual Novel ===
Horatio is now in Oseburgh after staying at a hotel in Miami, Florida. He stayed there from December of 2018 to January of 2019. He has memories of killing his old friend, which he regrets doing. At the end of the year, he eventually retired from criminal activity. He then purchases a house and lives out the rest of his life there. It is presumed that he died but there is no evidence that he died.
== Personality ==
Horatio has been implied to have temperamental attitude. In addition, his behavior in scenes of the game suggest that he is very loyal, but very easy to irritate. When enraged, Horatio is capable of practicing extremely violent acts, but he also seems to feel remorseful at times, for example when he regrets killing Eileen R..
However, like many other CoYL protagonists, he too shows very little hesitation in killing anyone standing in his way and occasionally mocks them. Horatio also believes that people should show proper respect to their parents. He will give drivers the finger if a vehicle stands in front of him and tries to mow him down. Horatio seems to be very loyal to his bosses and people he works with.
== Physical Appearance ==
In The Visual Novel and Tales from The Visual Novel, circa 2018 and 2019, Horatio's appearance has changed drastically; he has grey hair (he had dirty blond hair when he was younger) and has wrinkly skin. He also supposedly has "13/20 vision". He also wears regular clothes out of his drawers. The drastic change in his appearance between the years is due to old age.
