In The Gods of This World
Harlan Rhodes is a member of the Trusted Six, a group of teens each with their own supernatural abilities. He is blessed with Mediumship, or the ability to talk to spirits. He is with the group when they discover the Journal. Upon finding the Journal, Harlan got a vision from a ghostly professor warning them not to open it. Harlan takes this seriously and tries to warn the others but he's too late as Barry opens and reads from the book. When he returns home a group of ghosts find him and tell him that now that the book has been opened, "they" will be coming. Harlan asks them who "they" are but the ghosts quickly leave before they answer. The first God that he meets is Sobek, the Egyptian God of crocodiles, who deduces that he can trust Harlan and the others. Harlan's life is threatened when he's attacked by a were-jaguar and given the disease. Barry tries to get Zeus to heal Harlan but Zeus refuses. This leads to a standoff between the two in which Barry loses. But, taking pity on Harlan, Zeus heals him anyway. Harlan is present in the final battle against the Hidden in which he rallies an army of spirits to fight. After the final battle is finished, he celebrates Barry's birthday with Alisha as his new girlfriend.
