Biography
Harold Mews comes from a humble household, and an honest, hard-working family. At a young age, he inherited the Mews Corporation from his parents, and turned the struggling regional paper supply company into a multinational corporation with business divisions in telecommunications, aerospace, textiles, and traveling circuses. Mews has appeared on Poptropica Business Weekly’s list of wealthiest Poptropicans every year since its inception, and was thrice named the magazine’s “Businessperson of the Year.” Mews was born with a passion for adventure. An avid outdoors person, he’s spent most of his non-working hours testing his mettle against nature. Mews once swam from Bouffant Bay to Golden Harbor in under 20 hours, without the aid of a snorkel. He challenged Hermes to a ski race down Mt. Olympus, and won. He is the only person ever to ride the Great Booga Shark across Booga Bay, and live to tell the tale. But one quest in particular proved to be a turning point in Mews’ life. In 1953, Mews was about to become the first person to climb Mt. Everest, along with Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzig Norgay, when he spotted what appeared to be yeti tracks leading away from the group’s base camp. Mews abandoned the climbing party, and everlasting glory, to follow the footprints. Some say he found nothing but an unidentified tuft of fur in a rhododendron, but Mews was fond of saying that he found something more valuable on the side of Mt. Everest: his life’s passion, the search for cryptids. Years later, Mews turned over day-to-day operations of the Mews Corporation to his trusted associate, Tough Horse, and established the Mews Foundation. Its mission: To expand the boundaries of scientific discovery. Through the Foundation, Mews hopes to achieve his lifelong goal of proving the existence of cryptids.
