| - Alias No information Origin No information Occupation No information Powers/Skills No information Hobby No information Goals No information Type of Villain No information Harold Lauder is one of the antagonists in The Stand. He is a teenage boy, unpopular in his town, and whose parents always favored his sister, Amy, more. Harold is secretly in love with Frances Goldsmith, his sister's friend, and sees the apocalypse as a chance to win her heart by becoming her hero. However Fran remains as repulsed by Harold as she has always been. Despite his lack of social skills and insurance (at first) Harold is intelligent and uses his inventiveness to create various signs for other people during their journey to Stovington, Vermont. This earns him the respect of Larry Underwood. Stu Redman eventually joins their party and Fran falls for him, enraging Harold. Harold teeters on the brink of good and evil, but eventually proves to be a weak character and is easily used by the Dark Man. After an affair with Nadine, the duo attempt to kill everyone on the Boulder Free Zone Committee with a makeshift dynamite bomb attached to a working walkie-talkie which has been placed in a shoe box. When Nick Andros tries to remove the box, does not hear Harold state his name and that he was committing the crime of his own volition due to his deafness. He and Nadine run for it and head toward Nevada. Harold hits an oil slick on their way and spills down an embankment, breaking his leg. Nadine tells him that this was arranged by the Dark Man and that he was useless now. Harold attempts to shoot Nadine but fails. As he lays dying he writes a note apologizing for and accepting responsibility for his actions in Boulder. He signs the letter using the name given to him in the Free Zone, “Hawk”, then commits suicide with his gun.
- At the time of the superflu epidemic, Harold is a sixteen-year-old resident of Ogunquit, Maine. He has an indifferent mother and a brutish, overbearing father. His popular sister Amy is shallow and self-absorbed; her best friend Fran Goldsmith later recalls that to his family, "it must have seemed like he had hatched from a cowbird egg or something." Bullied at home and at school, Harold is tall, yet overweight (6'1 and 240lbs) unhygienic and unpopular. He has black, greasy hair. He had a lot of acne, caused by eating junk food. He wears glasses. He is described by his sister as wearing the same boxer shorts until they stood on their own, due to their crustiness. She also desrcibes that he masturbates in his pants. (He seems addicted to self pleasure). He had never experienced the pleasures of a woman. He finds an outlet in writing, writing strange stories in the 2nd POV and present tense and often affects a jaded, worldly attitude, when in reality he is merely immature and lacking in social graces; he overcompensates for his really low self-esteem by "acting out" in pompous, abrasive ways. He displays multiple symptoms of Asperger's Syndrome. When the plague hits Ogunquit only Harold and Fran are left alive. Harold is aware that Fran does not care for his company, but she does eventually take compassion on him: he is a fellow survivor, and they will probably only get through the plague aftermath by relying on each other. Together they set out for the Stovington Plague Center in hopes of finding others who have survived the superflu epidemic. Harold's intelligence and resourcefulness do prove to be assets along the way. In addition to improvising solutions to various problems, he begins to create signs (complete with highway directions) for other survivors during their journey to Stovington, then Hemingford Home, Nebraska, and finally Boulder, Colorado.
