About
My name is Howl and I was born in Wales of your world. My real name is Howell Jenkins. As a child I had remarkable magical abilities that led me to write a doctoral thesis on charms and spells. I then went to Ingary, a country in an alternate world where magic is common place, and I became Mrs Penstemmon's last pupil. At the age of 22, I set up shop as Jenkin the Sorcerer in Porthaven. Shortly after that, I caught a falling star (i.e. a fire demon) and gave it my heart to keep it alive. In exchange, the fire demon runs my castle. As a result, I Howl lack a heart, both literally and figuratively. This got me into trouble with the Witch of the Waste, and I have developed quite a bad reputation.I have several aliases: I am known as Wizard Howl in Market Chipping; Wizard Pendragon in the capital Kingsbury; and Jenkin the Sorcerer in lower-class Porthaven. I have an apprentice named Michael Fisher.
I first met Sophie on May Day before the Witch of the Waste cast a spell on her. A week later, when I got back to my Castle, I was surprised to find an old lady cooking on Calcifer, but I did not kick her out despite Michael and Calcifer's complaints. I let Sophie clean the castle, as long as she does not kill any spiders, and at the exception of my bedroom and the yard. We had quite an adventure after this, but I must demand that you read the book or see the movie to find out more.
