John Harrow

John Harrow is a detective of the Zone 13 Police Department and the focus of the series ''Night Visions. ''He is brooding and misanthropic, hardened by the death of his daughter and subsequent divorce from his wife, leading him to cling to the justice he administers as the only sign of hope in his life. He crosses paths with many superhuman heroes and villains in his investigations, such as Crimson Cloak, Blind Tiger, and Oracle.

History
Harrow was born in Zone 13 in 1960, at the point a newly established district. His father was a police officer and inspired him to do the same. About two years after marrying his wife, Alicia, they have a daughter together who is killed by a drunk driver while crossing the street on the way to school. Destroyed by grief, he and Alicia divorce, and he is promoted to the position of detective shortly after, chronicled in Night Visions.

While most of his very early cases aren't documented in Night Visions, we see glimpses of a younger Harrow in Deviant, responding to Walter Brick's murder of his own father, and also in Crimson Dawn, during Crimson Cloak's early years as a hero.

Supporting & associated characters
Harrow is often aided by Oracle, due to her clairvoyant abilities, giving him leads in cases with no forensic evidence. In fact, their collaboration would go so deep as to eventually make them the cornerstone of the Late Shift, along with Deviant, Sam Locke, Oracle, Silver Bracelet, and Buckshot.

He was also briefly a part of the Department of Superhuman Affairs' Paranormal Division, leading him to forge a relationship with them and Team Strange after his departure.

His partner, Detective Norman Pines, lends important support to Harrow during their investigation, though his tactics aren't always morally justified, occasionally straying outside the law in order to get things done. This unscrupulous behavior eventually creates a rift between the two, ending in Pines' arrest. He blames Harrow for it, even though he had nothing to do with it, and the two become bitter enemies.

Harrow is an important character within the Man & Myth universe, appearing in a large number of works and involved with many story arcs.
