Biography[]
A Father[]
A young Penn mourns the death of his wife. (Robotech II: The Sentinels: Reflections)
Harry Penn had a wife, who tragically died while giving birth to their child, Karen. (Robotech II: The Sentinels: Reflections) Because of this, Harry was highly protective of his daughter and also disapproved of her wishes to take part in military activities. He wanted her to be a Doctor, while she wanted to be a pilot. (Robotech II: The Sentinels: "Wedding Day") Because of this, Karen believed for much of her life that her father resented her, and even blamed her for the death of his wife.

Macross Island and Days Undone[]
Harry Penn, T. R. Edwards and Roy Fokker meeting with Keith Kogane. (Robotech/Voltron: 2)
In a reverted timeline caused by the disappearance of the SDF-1 and the crash landing of Voltron Lion Force on Macross Island, Harry Penn was at an interrogation of Keith Kogane with T.R. Edwards and Roy Fokker. He suspected Keith may be from a parallel Earth and filled Keith in on the Macross incident and events leading to then.
After the Lions helped repel a Zentraedi attack, they were relocated to Alaska Base to keep the Lions out of enemy hands. Penn studied the Lions and had words with Keith about how he suspects Edwards of planning on using the Lions for his own goals. After Pidge found evidence that Allura might be in Egypt, Penn and Keith convinced Edwards to let Keith search for her. (Robotech/Voltron: 4)
Sentinels[]
Before the launch of the Pioneer Expedition, he and Emil Lang were on the Robotech Factory Satellite observing Max Sterling and Karen testing the Alpha Fighter. When Karen's Veritech malfunctioned he showed great concern for her safety. When she returned he tried to use the incident to show her she wasn't cut out for being a pilot, but she brushed him off. Despite praise from both Max and Lang, he still was not convinced. And the recommendation of her for the expedition by Dr. Lang didn't sit well with him either.
