Howl - a demon in possession of a human body - is best known as a "heartless" magician. Though the first time we meet Howl, he's helping Sophie evade being hit on by soldiers in town.

We really only see his demonic side when he turned into a bird monstrosity during the war. 

What is "Howl is contracted with a demon, but is not a demon himself, the bird transformation is just a further manifestation of his magic."
