Personal History:

Born to an Orthodox Jewish family in a small town in Pennsylvania sometime in the 20s, Harlan Cohen was a home-schooled boy who worked as an apprentice to a local butcher in his spare time before being drafted in 1942. After the war, Cohen studied medicine at NYU before being recruited by the Foundation.

  • Refuses to accept any pay for work on Saturdays.
  • Hates clowns after attempting to subdue 993
  • Detests Lassie after an incident with the TV

Relationships and Thoughts:

  • Luvi M. Harkess: No matter how much Harlan liked Luvi, he had to acknowledge that his recklessness grew by the day,
  • Jacob Wexley: Jacob was there with him in the radio tower. Things like that tend to make you respect a guy.
  • Elanor Thorne: Harlan's not a fan of wizardry, but the damned stick together.
  • Bowe: Harlan finds it hard to feel sorry for the guy after he knowingly employed an untrained teenage girl. One Harlan had caught near effortlessly.
  • Harley Newclear: Harley's a loose canon. Harlan'll be surprised if he doesn't get kicked in the balls again.
    • Harlan's opinion has only been further reinforced by the Los Angeles incident.
  • Daniel Pinkerton: Pinkerton should mind his own business.
    • Harlan has yet to believe Pinkerton is a useful asset.
  • Danielle Levine: Harlan has little to say on Danielle, besides her obvious lack of faith.
  • Kevin Winsthrop: Harlan has great respect for Kevin.
  • Zoe Aleron: Zoe is a parasite, plain and simple.
