Jackstom Harms es el jefe de la casa Casa Harms y miembro de la nobleza de Elendel en Scadrial.[1]
Apariencia y personalidad
“Esa es nuestra suerte, hijo. Ser señor de una casa requiere ciertos sacrificios.”
—Lord Harms a Waxillium[2]
Lord Harms es un hombre más bien grueso con un largo bigote que cuelga hasta su cuello.[1] Viste trajes muy caros y a menudo lleva un bastón de caoba que es una reliquia de la familia Harms. Lord Harms tiene la costumbre de frotarse la cara con un pañuelo en situaciones de mucho estrés.[3][4]
A primera vista, lord Harms es la mismísma encarnación de los buenos modales. Es diligente,[2] puntual hasta decir basta, elegante y lord de una acaudalada, aunque menos influyente, casa.[1] Sin embargo, bajo esa primera capa, es bastante diferente. Lord Harms puede ser grosero ocasionalmente y está dispuesto a entrar por la fuerza en una habitación si se le hace esperar mucho tiempo.[1] También tiene un sentido del humor un tanto verde y algunas veces provoca a su hija Steris hasta que esta se enfurece.[2] En algún momento, lord Harms tuvo un amorío, que resultó en el nacimiento de Marasi.[5] Pese a sus indiscreciones, a menudo actúa con superioridad y de forma condescendiente hacia otras personas, particularmente hacia Waxillium Ladrian, pues piensa que necesita una mano fuerte para mantenerlo en el buen camino.[1] Cuando una situación se vuelve nefasta, sin embargo, esa fachada arrogante se quiebra y toda su bravuconería desaparece, dejándolo desesperado e indefenso.[4]
Parece ser que a pesar de esos evidentes defectos, lord Harms es un lord competente para su casa.[1] La Casa Harms se encuentra en una excelente situación financiera. Aun así, carecen de conexiones sociales de alto nivel y de un heredero varón.
Historia
“No me importan ni el dinero ni las joyas que me han quitado. Eso puede sustituirse, y la mayoría estaba asegurada de todas formas. Pero pagaré cualquier precio por Steris. Por favor. ¡Ella va a ser su prometida! ¡Tiene que encontrarla!”
—Lord Harms a Waxillium[4]
Infancia
Very little is known about Lord Harms' early life. At some point during his youth, he was married to a woman with a rather harsh and cold personality -- likely a political marriage.[2] His wife gave birth to a daughter, Steris. At some point during Lord Harms' marriage, he had an affair with another woman.[5] That woman ultimately became pregnant and gave birth to Marasi, Lord Harms' second daughter. Embarrassed to have an illegitimate daughter,[6] he had her sent to a cousin house, where she was raised as Marasi Colms.[2] Although not raised by Lord Harms, she was fully aware that he was her father[5] and spent much time with him, as well as her half-sister, Steris.[1]
When it became apparent that Marasi was a Pulser, Lord Harms insisted that she keep the ability quiet.[7][6] He claimed that being an Allomancer was unseemly, but in truth he did not want Marasi to appear as a better marriage prospect than Steris. Despite his generally poor treatment of Marasi, Lord Harms still paid for her education at Elendel University and allowed her to stay in his home while she studied[5] He claimed to be doing it out of charity, for her parents could not afford the cost.[2] At an unknown point, Lord Harms' wife passed away.
Negocios con la Casa Ladrian
Several months after his return from the Roughs, High Lord Waxillium Ladrian approached Lord Harms about the possibility of marriage to his daughter Steris.[1] Since three other attempts to marry Steris off had been unsuccessful,[8] Lord Harms jumped at the opportunity to join his house to such a prestigious house as House Ladrian.[1] After a few months and several letters and conversations, Lord Harms felt prepared to allow Wax to begin courting Steris. He and Steris met Wax, as well as Wayne in the guise of Wax's fictional uncle Maksil, at Ladrian Mansion to discuss the potential betrothal. He also brought Marasi, who had insisted on accompanying them in order to meet her hero, Wax.[9] Despite some misgivings about Wax's past as a lawman, the conversation proved fruitful and Lord Harms agreed that Wax and Steris should start courting with the eventual intention of marriage.[1] The two decided that they would begin their courtship at the Yomen-Ostlin wedding dinner.
While attending the wedding dinner, Lord Harms sat at a table with Wax, Steris, and Marasi.[2] They conversed about Wax's time as a lawman and Marasi's studies at the university, although Lord Harms attempted to keep Marasi quiet. Eventually, the conversation grew too inappropriate and angered Steris, who left. Lord Harms blamed Marasi and Wax, although he admitted that he too was often tempted to annoy Steris. He sighted his friend, Lord Alernath, at the bar and left the table to join him. When the Vanishers entered the room, Lord Harms was still seated at the bar and was too far away to do anything when Marasi and Steris were kidnapped.[3]
After the firefight in which Wax and Wayne managed to rescue Marasi but not Steris, Lord Harms seemed stunned by Steris' kidnapping.[4] He was terrified for her and begged Wax to find her, totally abandoning his previously condescending attitude towards Wax. He then left the party to sit in his carriage until Marasi wanted to leave so he could have some time to think for himself. The next day, Lord Harms agreed to finance Wax's efforts to find her, including the cost of the equipment Wax had purchased to analyze the aluminum alloy in the Vanishers' equipment, as House Ladrian was lacking in liquid assets.[10]
Relación con sus hijas
Lord Harms tiene una relación bastante interesante con sus hijas. Steris presenta un temperamento muy similar al de la difunta esposa de lord Harms, a quien queda implícito que nunca amó en realidad.[2] Esto tienta a menudo al señor Harms a molestarla más de lo que debería, aunque suele arrepentirse de ello más tarde, puesto que Steris lo tiene bajo su control firmemente. Sin embargo, realmente la quiere,[4] a pesar de que le desconciertan sus idiosincrasias y su franqueza.[1] Cuando la secuestran los Desvanecedores, lord Harms está dispuesto a hacer todo lo que pueda para salvarla.[4] También ha influenciado la percepción del matrimonio que tiene Steris; puesto que ella considera las relaciones extramatrimoniales como algo común.[5]
Su relación con Marasi, por otro lado, es bastante menos positiva. Aunque hayan pasado muchos años desde su nacimiento, lord Harms sigue tratándola como algo bochornoso que debe ocultar y mantener fuera de la vista de los demás, incluso alrededor de personas que no saben que es su hija.[1][2] Lord Harms es desdeñoso con ella,[2] a veces hasta el punto de rozar la estupidez.[7] Intenta activamente evitar que hable de sus intereses y estudios universitarios.[2] Lord Harms también insiste en que Marasi mantenga en secreto tanto sus poderes como su linaje.[7] Hay cierto rencor en su relación que es imposible ignorar.[6]
