Brief Character History
In 1988, Lord Larry docked his yacht, the
Aphrodite, into Port Charles deeply in debt. The only way he believed that he
could get his fortune back was to locate a long-lost Chinese civilization
with the help of a key dubbed the Dragon Bone. However, to find the
civilization, he needed the Bone, an emerald and a map. He was also being
followed by the villainous Domino who wanted the Bone. Domino though wasn't
the one that Larry should have worried about. The other person was Tracy
Quartermaine, his ex-wife. Tracy also wanted to get rich and blackmailed
Larry into giving her and their son Ned a share of the profits when the quest
was completed. If Larry refused, then Tracy would reveal that Larry wasn't in
fact the Ashton heir Lord Ashton, but instead an impostor! However, the
Dragon Bone was buried by Robert Scorpio's dog Friday, and the quest fizzled.
Still in debt, Larry left Port Charles with his wife Arielle. Larry soon
after lost his title when a drifter, Charlie Prince, turned out to be the
real Ashton heir.
In 1991, Larry returned alone to Port Charles and formed a cartel with Harlan
Barrett, Leopold Taub and Cesar Faison in order to control global business
with carbon disulfide, a toxic substance manufactured at a Port Charles
cannery. To achieve their goals, the cartel forced ELQ CEO Paul Hornsby to
marry Tracy Quartermaine and take control of her ELQ stock, killing her if he
must. The cartel was soon busted up on Founder's Day by the PCPD and the
substance was destroyed.
