Edward is an agent of the English crown, a low-ranking noble at ease in shifting diplomatic circles, “always on good terms with God and the Devil”.

History

  • He agreed with the Dutch to locate the Chains of the Pact for 37,000 gems. The Chains, made by the Five Iroquois Nations, turn those bound into demonic creatures.
  • His communication token was an Iron Horn, a small, cold piece engraved with a raven that sounds only when struck on a sword’s edge.
  • He is tied to an interrogation involving the Flying Dutchman.
  • The Buffalo Men captured him during the hunt; how he got free is unclear.
  • He appears with the main group in Northern Crown and in a reference to Mulberry Street, New York, 1881, possibly involving time travel.

He wears a dark frock coat with suede lapels, a waistcoat buttoned to the neck, a ruff and light gloves.

Relationships

  • Nicaramsa — linked through the Chains.
  • No-Voy-Yo — the humble druid who breaks him and succeeds him.

The same soul

Edward shares one soul with Lirio and Novoyo: successive forms of a single soul that oscillates between service and ambition — Lirio serves without glory, Edward is the pole of ambition, Novoyo annuls himself.

Open questions

  • After his capture he was suspected, never confirmed, of being a double agent for the Dutch, English, Iroquois, French, or all of them.
