Noah can only be controlled by himself. He wishes to use the 14th Noah so that humans — not the Order nor the Noah — win the war. When asking Zu to restore the nearly dead Link, Hoshino gathered data on various poses before illustrating him. Hoshino found Rouvelier easier to illustrate than the series' protagonists. Malcolm was voiced by Ryūsuke Ōbayashi and is voiced by Tōru Ōkawa in D.Gray-man Hallow in Japanese. He is voiced by Sean Hennigan in English. Howard Link , under the command of Malcolm C. Rouvelier, is an inspector of the Order's Central Office sent to observe and report on the behavior of Allen Walker. He is a member of Crow (), an elite squad under the command of the Central Office. Armed with a pair of unfolding blades hidden in his coat sleeves, Link is a highly agile fighter possessing great strength and dexterity, practiced in the use of mystical seals that bind targets, generate vortexes and other techniques. It is said that Link dies after the incident with the Apocryphos, but it is revealed that he is still alive thanks to Zu. However, he is unable to remember the incident. He is working as Rouvelier's personal Crow and is tasked with winning the 14th Noah's trust so that Rouvelier can use the 14th to help the humans — not the Order nor the Noah — win the war. Though polite, he is devoted to his work and to Rouvelier, emulating the latter's fondness for sweets nearly to a fault. Link's design changes some time following his introduction to reflect that a time-skip has passed in the series. This made him more good-looking according to Hoshino. Originally single-minded and obedient to Rouvelier, Link's character began to develop as the author believed he had a "backbone". For example, in one scene Link gives an imprisoned Allen rice gruel with a message that badmouths his own superior. Link was voiced by Daisuke Kishio in the first anime and is voiced by Shinnosuke Tachibana in D.Gray-man Hallow in Japanese. He is voiced by Aaron Roberts in English. Headquarters Komui Lee is the current Supervisor of the Black Order and Lenalee's older brother. He is also the branch chief. Taken from him when her compatibility with Innocence was determined, Komui decided to join the Black Order and worked his way to the top to be close to Lenalee.
