Link, Howard

ハワード・リンク

Link serves as a special inspector dispatched to Headquarters, though he functions more as an administrative assistant to Lvellie. He has light-colored hair that is cut short in the front but extends into a braid at the back. Two distinguishing dot markings appear on his forehead, although their significance remains unknown. He is currently assigned to keep Allen under constant surveillance, which involves following him during his daily tasks and boarding with him. He loves cake and pie. In chapter 137, he is seen giving Allen a pumpkin pie that he made. Lavi occasionally teases him, calling him "two-pimple" because of the dots on his forehead, much to Link's chagrin. Despite not being an Exorcist, Lvellie states that he is physically competent, and he is armed with a switchblade on his left wrist, hidden under his sleeve. Recently, he helped save Allen from a Level 4 Akuma. Manga chapter 168 also reveals that Link is part of the black order's "crow," as one of them is referred to by that name. It appears that Lvellie ordered Link to continue the investigation of the 14th matter, but it may instead entail something else.
