'''Harbinger V''', '''Five''' for short, is one of five remaining clones of the original [[Number Man|Harbinger]]. He would eventually join the hero team, [[the Majors]], and take up the name '''Limerick'''.

==Personality==
Unlike his brothers, the fifth Harbinger has developed something of a conscience.<ref>“I’ve thought about that a lot,” the Harbinger said.  “I’m number five of my surviving brothers.  I was always the last one to leave, when we filed out.  I’d look back and see Jeanne… the closest thing we ever had to a mother.  Our ‘number zero’s wife.  That could have opened a crack the rest of the sentimentality flowed into.  It could have been randomness.  No numbers are truly random, but… I got less jobs in the last year than my brothers.  More time to think, less brutality.  I got handed different quote-unquote, ‘random’ memories.  Maybe that created a wedge.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2020/01/01/interlude-19-a/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 19.a II]]</ref>

===Relationships===
====[[Sveta Karelia]]====
Five went out of his way to save Sveta's life during [[the Attack on Teacher's Compound]], and was ostracised from his brothers for doing so.

==Appearance==
Five is a teenage version of the Number Man. He wears glasses.

As Limerick, he has dyed his hair, and wears a mask and a black and gold outfit with paint-splashes of color on it.<ref>“He’s a loser,” Limerick says, his expression flat.  The youngest member’s expression is flat, but his eyes glitter with excitement.  He sports dyed hair, a mask, and a black and gold outfit with paint-splashes of color on it, despite his seemingly serious, taciturn personality. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2020/04/25/last-20-e5/ Excerpt] from [[Last 20.e5]]</ref>

==Abilities and Powers==
{{main|Number Man}}

Harbinger V has all the combat thinker abilities of the original Number Man, if less refined due to a lack of experience. However, he has stronger [[shard]]-enabled connection with his brothers.

==History==
===Post-[[Timeskip]]===
Harbinger V and his [[Harbinger Clones|brothers]] were all created by [[Bonesaw]] and used by the [[Slaughterhouse Nine]] to attack several locations. They proved a formidable force, until the arrival of their original and [[Contessa]] forced them to surrender.

===[[Gold Morning]]===
Harbinger V made it through the event.

===Post-[[Time Bubble Pop]]===
Harbinger V was present for the meeting before the second assault on [[Teacher]]'s base. He went out of his way to save [[Sveta]]s life, citing her as a reason for him developing a conscience. He was forced to go on the run from his brothers as a result of his actions.

===[[The Ice Breaks]]===
Harbinger V came out of hiding in order to assist the heroes against the [[Titans]]. He stayed by [[Sveta Karelia]]'s side.<ref name="II19.3">[[Infrared 19.3]]</ref>

Harbinger V assisted in the fight between the [[Shepherds]] and [[Titan Skadi]].<ref>[[Interlude 19.e II]]</ref>

He followed Sveta to [[the Shardrealm]], joining [[Breakthrough]] near Contessa's crystal,<ref name="II19.7">[[Infrared 19.7]]</ref> and providing some commentary on [[Cauldron]] and Contessa.<ref name="II19.8">[[Infrared 19.8]]</ref>

After the aftermath of the second apocalypse, Five was left without purpose. He visited the remains of [[Jack Slash]] in Los Angeles and later joined [[the Major Malfunctions]] at [[Sveta]]s suggestion.<ref>[[Last 20.e3]]</ref>
