Well, Howard, as the Watchman is the most powerful being in the Cube, but after his fight with Roswell, after which he was banished from Beta8, his powers got a bit destabilized (at least what he claims) and for example, he can't shapeshift as much anymore (like he can't get rid of his runes and eyes, which he copied from Tim and its a pain lol) so to stablize his powers and mostly because he's just evil and doesn't really care about the humans as he should he just likes to possess poor V from time to time. They have this sort of deal that at least he won't possess anyone else, so the rest of the squad is safe from having their brains melted. It did save Vincent's life, and he did gain some knowledge about Roswell and a special connection to the Watchman from just having Howard in his head, but mostly, a terrible deal. To be completely honest, I thought about scraping this side plot many times, but I always come up with the conclusion that no no Howards evil he would do that, he's like the ps5 guy and my free will is an illusion, and if I were to draw a short webcomic it would be about the squad meeting Howard for the first time (Nekros backstory included) 🫡
