History
As a child, Howaido was young hot headed boy who had a passion for fighting. He was found by Aizen, stealing bread in a store. Aizen saw his potential as a puppet. Aizen trained him to master Shikai, but saw his rebellion and had him moved to the 10th Division. Howaido grew unsure of Aizen's intentions and began to study Aizen's movments. He snuck into the Lieutanant meeting, where Aizen showed the Liuetanant's his Zanpakuto's power and grew cautious of the Reaitsu emitting from it, as he felt Aizen's full power when training. He was moved to the 2nd Division, where he managed to gain more intel on Aizen. When he learned of Aizen's treason he felt horrible that he couldn't do anything sooner. He began to study Aizen's real Zanpakuto and sent information on it to the Ryoka Kisuke Uruhara. He hopes that it will hopefully defeat Aizen.
