Creedy tries to take his place,
but Harper, bribed by Helen Heyer(with whom he has been sleeping), kills him.
Initially he and some of his men are hired by Creedy to temporarily bolster the police force after V destroys the government's surveillance equipment,
but Helen Heyer recruits him to her side to ensure Creedy's downfall by offering to place him in charge of the Finger
after Conrad comes to power.
