Upon | As a younger man, Howard became the founder of Clifford Industries, which grew into a massive conglomerate under his visionary leadership. Despite his great wealth, however, he was diagnosed with a degenerative disease that would soon leave him wheelchair-bound. Upon receiving this diagnosis, he resigned his position within the company and passed it to his son [[Roger Clifford|Roger]], then set out on a journey of the world in search of a cure for his condition. His research led him to the conclusion that if humans could [[evolution|evolve]] into the best versions of themselves the same way Pokémon could, it would solve such issues. When he returned, he used his vast fortune to establish [[Ryme City]] as a utopia where humans and Pokémon could live together as equals. | ||
However, unbeknownst to the outside world, Howard's benevolent front masked far darker intentions. He secretly established the [[Pokémon Comprehensive Laboratory|PCL]] and funded the research of Pokémon neurologist [[Dr. Ann Laurent]] to manipulate Pokémon evolution and mind control. To fulfill his ambitions, he hired detective [[Harry Goodman]] to track down {{OBP|Mewtwo|Detective Pikachu}}, who had escaped from the [[Kanto]] region twenty years prior, so it could be experimented on by Laurent's team. Harry helped Howard's men capture Mewtwo, but discovered the truth about his plans and helped Mewtwo escape the lab. Because of this, Howard ordered Harry's assassination at the hands of his genetically modified {{p|Greninja}}, but Mewtwo intervened and saved Harry. Outside of Howard's notice, Mewtwo merged Harry and his {{p|Pikachu}} together, creating {{OBP|Detective Pikachu|character}}. | However, unbeknownst to the outside world, Howard's benevolent front masked far darker intentions.
