"You don't have to like me, I don't like you, but you have to work with me, to stop Zoom and Doctor Light. Can you do that?"

- Harrison Wells to Cisco Ramon about trust

Dr. Harrison Wells  is the founder of S.T.A.R. Labs on Earth-2.

Background
In 1991, Harrison founded S.T.A.R. Labs and is the father of a unnamed daughter. He later held a press conference sometime after his particle accelerator exploded and created the metahumans to unveil a new series of gadgets and apps to alert the user of a metahuman presence and was confronted by The Flash and wanted him to expose his involvement in the Metahumans creation. Sometime later, Harrison happened upon a tour group of children walking through S.T.A.R. Laboratories and greeted them.

Hunting Zoom
He found his way through a breach between Earth-2 and Earth-1, underneath Earth-1's S.T.A.R. Labs. Wells lurked around S.T.A.R. Labs for some time, watching Cisco Ramon in his efforts to save Martin Stein, then proceeding to make his way to Mercury Labs. As he stole a prototype weapon from the Applied Sciences Division, he set off the alarms but managed to evade the guards. He was however spotted by Tina McGee, an old friend of Harrison's late Earth-1 counterpart, who mistook him for the murderer using Earth-1 Wells' appearance.

He later arrived in time to use the gun he stole on "Man-shark", a metahuman sent by "Zoom", and knocked him out as he was attacking The Flash and Patty Spivot. As he walked away Flash chased after him and demanded to know who he was and Harrison pulled his hood off, revealing his identity to him.

Dr. Wells went to S.T.A.R.S lab where he met Cisco Ramon, Caitlin Snow, and Joe West, who were skeptical of him due to the actions of Eobard Thawne. The latter of whom tried to shoot him, only to have Barry catch the bullets. He then explained his intentions were to help them stop Zoom, who was influencing metahumans from Earth-2 to come to Earth-1 to kill Barry and then every speedster in the multiverse so he would be the only one. When another Earth-2 metahuman showed up, Dr. Light, later revealed to be Earth-2's Linda Park, they tried to convince her to stop and join them because she was a robber, not a killer. Harrison however, opposed and wanted to capture her for information. He later revealed Cisco's secret, that he's a metahuman with the ability to see alternate timelines using a watch he used to detect the presence of nearby metahumans. He later got into a fight with Jay, who he claimed had been running from Zoom for two years rather than the other way around. After Dr. Light was captured, he watched as Barry, Caitlin, and Cisco celebrated.

Personality
Like Eobard Thawne, Harrison is very blunt and inconsiderate. He carries himself in a very sardonic, egotistical manner. For example, his reference to how Eobard killed Barry's mother is delivered in a casual and sarcastic manner, and he even straight up told Cisco he didn't like him in response to Cisco's initial wariness of Harrison. He even laughed in amusement when Cisco told him Eobard killed him in an alternate timeline. This harsh attitude however appears to be derived from a desperation to save his daughter who was kidnapped by Zoom, showing that he does care for others.
