Who is Reginald Hargreeves in The Umbrella Academy?
The monocle, the experiment, the father · The Hargreeves Household
Reginald Hargreeves (The monocle, the experiment, the father) is a character in The Umbrella Academy, part of The Hargreeves Household. Sir Reginald Hargreeves bought seven of the forty-three babies inexplicably born one October day in 1989 and raised them as the Umbrella Academy: numbered instead of named, trained instead of loved, an experiment with a crest. His death convenes the series — and the question of whether even that was a move. Eccentric billionaire, secret monster, possibly neither human nor finished: Reginald's true project outlasts him across timelines, and every Hargreeves dysfunction in the show is a line item in his ledger.
