Howzer, a Holy Knight of Liones, rises from Platinum rank to Grand Holy Knight despite his commoner origins as the son of a blacksmith. Childhood bonds with Gilthunder and Griamore forged his mischievous spirit, while admiration for Dreyfus drew him into the Holy Knights—a loyalty later shattered by Dreyfus’s betrayal in Zaratras’s murder. Cheerful yet principled, Howzer defies orders to shield civilians, wielding wind-based Tempest magic to unleash techniques like Rising Tornado and Super Cyclone. His power surges from 1,910 to over 7,600, enabling victories against ancient dragons and Demon Clan forces.

A clash with Diane at the Vaizel Fighting Festival sparks unrequited affection after he underestimates her strength as a Deadly Sin, later driving him to protect her during the Kingdom Infiltration arc and ally with Guila against corruption. Amid the Holy War, he uncovers political schemes and battles demons, then pursues truth with Gilthunder and Griamore post-Dreyfus’s downfall. Promoted to Deputy then Grand Holy Knight, he grapples with leadership stress in *Four Knights of the Apocalypse*, briefly succumbing to alcohol before mentoring Percival’s group.

His camaraderie with fellow knights and deference to Hendrickson—who once shielded him from reprimand—contrast with shyness around women and comedic naivety, like overlooking Meliodas and Ban’s disguises. Quirks include favoring chicken thighs, fretting over his popularity with women, and meticulously maintaining his pompadour. From brash recruit to seasoned leader, Howzer bridges generations of Holy Knights, balancing duty, resilience, and moral ambiguity while steadfastly defending the vulnerable.
