Byron Howard - Maurice Dean Wint

 

Played by Maurice Dean Wint (seasons 1-3). Howard was Audrey Parker's boss until she resigned in order to stay in Haven. He came to her apartment to give her the Haven assignment. He has a deeper understanding of the events in Haven than what he has heard from Audrey. He is not the person he seems. Howard is never seen in an FBI office or with other FBI agents. Unbeknown to Audrey he knew Garland Wuornos and kept in contact with him by phone. He takes a book, "Unstake My Heart", from Audrey before he sends her to Haven, which is found in a hotel room Howard stayed at. It contained a clue in the form of geographical coordinates that led Audrey #2 to a building on Kick'em Jenny Neck where she lost her memory. Audrey #2's Agent Howard (the real Agent Howard) is not the same person. Our Agent Howard is the same person who, as an army captain, sent Sarah (outfitted with the memories and identity of an army nurse) to Haven (Sarah).

Agent Howard's role is directly attached to the barn, acting as a facilitator to Audrey and her previous incarnations, helping to situate her in Haven and returning to bring her back to the barn when the meteor storm arrives (Thanks for the Memories). He is shot by Nathan after Audrey enters the barn, but his body disappears with the barn. Because of this, the 27 year cycle was disrupted.
