Character Information Name: Howard Link Canon Origin/Series: D.Gray-Man Gender: Male Age: 27
Personality:
Link is a very reserved, no-nonsense type of man. If someone is doing something silly, or bugging him, he will tell them politely, but coldly what he thinks of their behaviour. This is usually because he is dedicated to his job and is very serious when it comes to people possibly endangering what he is trying to achieve. He is very loyal to his superiors and this often blinds him to the true nature of his work, even if it's possibly cruel or unfair. Link himself does believe in doing the right thing, and considers any questionable action to be for the greater good. When it comes to taking action however, he will sacrifice himself for the well-being of other's.
Link is also very awkward around other people. He seems to have trouble taking a joke, and enjoys activities that have a more logical reasoning behind them like baking and chess. He is quite talented fighter however, but only uses his skill when absolutely necessary. He'd rather take on a diplomatic approach to disagreements rather than resorting to violence. This being said though, his personality and failure to understand social interaction outside of rank seems to get him into a bit of trouble when dealing with others. He gets very annoyed even angry when people don't seem to understand the importance of orders. He can be quite frank and tactless, but it's not a conscious thing but an assumption that everyone would rather hear cold hard facts than an iced over version.
Brief History in Canon
Link is in canon a subordinate to Lvellie, an inspector from Headquarters of the Black Order. After Allen Walker is accused of being in cahoots with the 14th, Link was put in charge of surveillance on the young exorcist's every move. At first Link was considerably cold and treated Allen like an unfortunate element of his job, instead of an actual person and constantly bickered with him. Eventually Link settled into his routine with Allen and was even able to help him on missions and started to grow fond of him. On one particular mission a thief known as G, started kidnapping people's bodies and manipulate them to steal objects for him. While trying to capture this thief with no body, Link was possessed briefly. Allen eventually chased the possessor out of Link's body and they tracked the real thief down to a small boy named Timothy.
While the exorcists tried to talk Timothy into coming back to headquarters with them, Akuma attacked the orphanage, killing several people. While the exorcists were fighting, an Akuma with the ability to turn people into dolls showed up, and kidnapped Timothy. Link who had taken the young boy and a woman under his protection fought the Akuma to save him, but was not nearly as quick as he needed to be. The Akuma turned Link into a doll, rendering him useless, if not dead. (And I should note that this is the latest chapter in D.Gray-man, so it's really unclear what Link's ultimate fate is.)
