Karl Zivonik Harrington[1] was a Manticoran citizen, native of the planet Sphinx, and Ranger in the Sphinx Forestry Service.

Physical Description[]

He was dark-haired, dark eyed, and 185 cm tall with a strong boned frame. (SK3)

Biography[]

Born in 1504 PD[2], he was one of Alexandr and Evelina Zivonik's seven children. (HHA2.1: TS)

He had a close relationship with Sumiko Uchida, who was taken in by the Zivoniks after the death of her entire family from the Manticoran Plague. Tragically, she was killed when saving one of his sisters from a falling crown oak branch. (SK1, SK2)

Karl eventually told Stephanie Harrington that he and Umiko had a big fight just before her death, and that he blamed himself ever since. Sharing this dark secret with others lifted a sort of veil from his mind-glow, leading to him being adopted by the treecat Survivor. (SK3)

He eventually married Stephanie, taking her family surname[3]. (HHA7.5: FV)

  1. ↑ While several Honorverse short stories have hinted that Karl eventually married Stephanie Harrington, "First Victory" by David Weber explicitly states that Karl took the Harrington surname instead of Stephanie taking the Zivonik surname.
  2. ↑ He was eighteen years old in 1522 PD.
  3. ↑ Stephanie would record in her journals that Karl chose to do so because "there should always be Harringtons on Sphinx."
