HR Wells (Earth-19: Pre-Crisis)

"Don't be upset. This is not goodbye, this is just...'till our next communion."

- H.R. Wells' final words to Barry Allen

'''Harrison "H.R." Wells''' was the "director" of S.T.A.R. Labs and an author. During his life on Earth-1, he disguised with the appearances of Randolf Morgan under the name of H.R. Randolf.

Early Life
At some point of his life, H.R. became the face of S.T.A.R. Labs on Earth-19.

Going to Earth-1
After his lie about being a scientist is exposed on his Earth, his partner solved the cryptogram message sent from Team Flash on recruiting a new Harrison Wells. Later, he was accepted by Harry Wells and went to Earth-1 despite the ban of inter-dimensional travel on his earth.

Soon, the member of Team Flash realize he is a fraud. However, he claimed to be useful and Barry allowed him to stay for a longer time to prove his worthiness. Due to his staying on Earth-1 while wearing the face of a murderer, he used a facial transmogrification device to disguise as H.R. Randolf.

Death
After accidentally revealing their plan of keeping Iris safe to Savitar, H.R. felt an enormous guilt of causing the death of Iris. Although nobody blamed him for the mistake, he decided to rescue Iris. However, they were unable to escape. H.R. later had no other plans and forcibly used the facial transmogrification device to swap their appearances, causing Savitar to let Iris go and imprison H.R.. A few hours later, Savitar took H.R. to Infantino Street and killed H.R. while mistook him as Iris. After Savitar left, Barry ran to hold H.R. in his arms and H.R. turned off the device, revealing his true face to Barry. As the timeline was altered, Savitar was slowly being erased out of existence.

Erased timeline
After the death of Iris West, H.R. closed S.T.A.R. Labs museum as Barry pushed everyone away from him. At some point, bought CC Jitters and renamed it. He also became a well known author and uses the name of H.R. Wells instead of H.R. Randolf.

In 2024, H.R. held a book reading event and was taken to S.T.A.R. Labs by Barry from 2017. Barry later convinced the team to work together to defeat Mirror Master and Top. H.R. reunited with the team as well as his drumsticks and raised the morale of the team. The Barry of 2024 also helped his younger self and H.R. proposed a drink at Jitters.
