Semblance: Aarnivalkea (Spectre)
Howi's semblance (pronounced Är-nē-vôl-kī-uh, vulk-ē-uh) gives him the ability to materialize a large glowing spectre behind him.

His semblance took on a whole new meaning when he got amnesia.

The appearance of Aarnivalkea changes depending on who Howi feels can protect time at the moment. For example, when he activates his semblance, it could take the form of Cal wielding her weapon or Winston with his broadsword, but even before he got amnesia, and went by Halcyon, his semblance took on the form of the person he thought was the most threatening and at the time he was convinced it was himself.
