Harold and the Master are literally parallels.
They both knew each other
They both were affected by the same FEV at Mariposa
They both spread something; Harold is life, Master is death
They're both plural; Harold has Bob and the trees he can see through, the Master has the creatures and humans he has absorbed.
They both became immobile due to the exposure to FEV
They both are worshipped as gods; Harold by the Treeminders, the Master by the Children of the Cathedral
