1.Jose is the agent; Howard is the principal; they have an agency relationship; Jose is a special agent.

2.Jose is the agent; Howard is the principal; they have a fiduciary relationship; Jose is a special agent.

extra info: Jose is an agent who is empowered to contract to represent the interest of someone called a principal, in this case, Howard. The relationship between the agent and the principal is an agency relationship with Jose being a special agent who is handling one transaction for Howard.
