Harrison Acland

Harrison Acland is a primary character in Project Infinity. He was Val Winthrop's second-in-command before becoming the Supreme Leader of the Union in 2255. He is the father of Conner and Josephine Acland.

Early Work with Val
While details of how Harrison first met and began working with Val are unknown, it is clear that he has been closely involved with Union activities since very early on. Prior to the Union's takeover, Dr. Calanthe Lambton was supposedly killed in a laboratory accident. This incident is something all the high ranking members of the Union are aware of meaning Harrison's ties to Val precede the Union's official rule by many years.

The Aclands
Harrison is married to Camille Acland. They are the parents of Conner and Josephine. All throughout the series, it is stressed how important it is for the Aclands to be respectable, loyal servants of the Union. Harrison sees anyone who doesn't fully support the Union's ideology as unworthy of living. As a father, Harrison is very cold and aggressive towards his family. He often uses physical force to punish or lead his children. His wife, Camille, is very silent and obedient in his presence suggesting she is either afraid of him or in complete agreement with his actions.

Josephine recalls a time when she was younger when Harrison brought her and Conner along on one of his jobs. He shot a woman holding a baby because she wouldn't give up her language. This memory continues to haunt Josephine years later and causes her to feel extreme guilt.

Supreme Leader of the Union
The Union and the Rebels fight in a grand battle in episode 13. During this battle, Val Winthrop calls for a cease fire after Gun Lambton begins to lose control of Gallagher and crashes onto a Union carrier ship. Val follows Gun and privately talks with him about Apolline Lambton. Harrison peers into the hangar Val and Gun are in and overhears Val say Gun is his son. Harrison whispers "this is for the Union" before shooting and killing Val. He frames Gun and names him to be Val's killer. Being Val's second-in-command, Harrison becomes the new Supreme Leader of the Union and vows to hunt down the Rebels.

Personality and Appearance
Harrison is very aggressive and cold-hearted. He shows no mercy to those he feels oppose the Union's ideology. He is intelligent and calculated. His impatience and temper often gets the better of him. As the web series progresses, his tolerance and patience for Val's leadership grows weaker. He also has a tendency to overreact and become paranoid. This could be why he is so strict with his own family. His devotion to the Union far surpasses his feelings for his family as is seen when he asks Conner to kill Josephine after her Rebel identity is exposed.

Harrison has brown eyes and medium length brown hair. He is always seen wearing his Union uniform of black and purple. He also wears a LIA earpiece. He is handsome but threatening and angry in his expression.
