Personality
Howie is a hard-worker who detests any disturbance that hinders his work progress. When incensed by distractions, he is not exempt from attacking the people who distract him with his tools. He also is quite competitive, as he has a rivalry with Percy, even taunting her at times.
However, despite his hard-shell outside, he seems to genuinely care for the people close to him. He rewards his Worker Bees with "Honeyed Snacks" when they work hard, and even gives them to Percy when she's struggling, despite their rivalry.
He also has quite an obsession with "doing your goddamn job." He has little sympathy for people like Gorou, who constantly goofs off. He works himself to the bone (planning to work himself to death by 35) and has little tolerance for antics from people like Zora.

Abilities
Despite his status as a Mundie, Howie is the second most powerful character in the series so far (having a maxed Stamina of 15 and a very high Proficiency of 12), beaten only by Zora Salazar. This, combined with his immense speed and strength, makes Howie an incredibly strong and effective construction worker. Howie is also formidable in a fight, as he manages to take out three Banzai Blasters in a single attack by bending a wrench into a boomerang (and back).
