Kristopher Harmon

Kristopher Harmon is the partriarch of the Puckerman-Harmon family, CEO of the infamous HarmCo, and the father of Jack Harmon (and later Jamie Harmon). He is introduced in fanon Season One. He is played by actor Ron Raines. In Season Three, he married Lisa Puckerman, the mother of Puck, and became the stepfather to Puck and his sister, Sarah.

Season One
Kristopher's first appearance in the series is in Wheels. He is shown to be a calm, understanding and wise figure who serves as a grounding influence in the life of his son. He gives Jack advice on how to handle the Kurt/Diva-Off situation, inadvertently keeping Jack from making one of the biggest mistakes of his life.

He is mentioned in The Power of Madonna, but does not make an appearance as he is out of the country. This causes Jack to go on a mission to find a place to sleep that has people.

Kristopher's next physical appearance is in Home, where his and Jack's backstory is revealed. He is revealed to be divorced and somewhat bitter toward the idea that he is a cold man. He is shown to have a great love for his extended family, but begins to feel the pull of fatherhood after being made the godfather of his nephew, Jared. He would choose April Rhodes as the surrogate and, from that deal, produces Jack.

Season Five
Kristopher makes his first appearance of the season in The Quarterback. He is seen comforting his son, wife and stepson over the loss of their rival, son's best friend and best friend respectively. He later visits Burt and Carole to ask to start the performing arts scholarship in Finn's name, which they agree to.

Season Six
Kristopher will play a role in season six that ties into one of Jack's storylines and will be learning to adjust to having an infant in the house again.

Personality
In his youth, Kristopher was a ruthless businessman that did whatever it took to win. However, this drive and behavior caused him to lose his first wife, who divorced him because of his cold attitude. This made him take stock in his life and he started to slowly show his softer side to his family and became the now-affable and charming man he is today (which proves a good business move as he is able to lull his enemies into a false sense of security)

This behavior is set to the wayside when his family is put in danger such as the time when his nephew, Jared, came out the closet and was castigated for this action. He took the young man into his home and assaulted a reporter when he tried to question Jared.

Recently, he returned to his old ways after the Colby family went on the attack to destroy him and his family going so far as to allow their daughter to stalk Jack and hold him captive.

Kristopher serves as Jack's foil, normally offering down to Earth advice to the bombastic Jack. The two share a loving, though seemingly undemonstrative relationship. Jack has shown a protective streak of his father and the older man's health, as illustrated in Grilled Cheesus when he lost his temper over the possibility of Kristopher not taking his medication. At the end of the same episode, Jack is seen checking his sleeping father to make sure he is breathing. It has also been implied that he has used his connections and money to keep Jack out any serious legal trouble.

Despite this foil relationship, Kristopher and Jack share numerous things in common. Such as their need to take matters into their own hands despite having allies and (it is heavily implied) that he shares Jack's libidinous nature (and, like his son, is intensely loyal to his wife).
