A scientist from Earth who was working on experiments to help the inhabitants of Argolis. The Argolins were dying out as they had become sterile following a nuclear war with the Foamasi. Hardin's experiments were intended to hep them rejuvenate. He was working with a businessman named Stimson. When the Doctor and Romana saw a video of one of their successful experiments, they noticed straight away that it had been faked. Stimson tried to flee Argolis but was killed by a Foamasi agent, and blame for the death was placed on the Doctor. Hardin was convinced that with help from Romana he could achieve what he had set out to do. He was forced to conduct another experiment, this time on the Doctor, but instead of making him younger it caused him to age. Whilst Stimson had been motivated by greed, Hardin was in love with the new Argolin leader, Mena. His experiments were eventually successful, as he rejuvenated the dying Mena, and turned her hot-headed son Pangol, who was trying to launch a new war against the Foamasi, into a baby.
