“Fantastic! We won! It's just like you said, Micaiah. They were no match for us!”
— Edward

Edward (エディ Edi) is a Myrmidon of Daein's Dawn Brigade. He is a reckless sword fighter who is easily excitable. He thinks very highly of himself and is very cheery, but is very naive, thinking that if somebody says to do something, then it's the right thing to do, as shown when he gets the Caladbolg. Edward hates the wars following the one for Daein's liberation, and thinks that if he can convince the other Daein soldiers to leave, the war will end. He knows Nevassa like the back of his hand, and is very helpful to the Dawn Brigade. His best friend Leonardo (an archer in the Dawn Brigade) tries to teach him a sense of responsibility, but Edward just thinks he nags too much. His personal sword, Caladbolg, is a gift from Pelleas in Part III.

History

Prior to the formation of the Dawn Brigade and the events of Radiant Dawn, Edward lived on the streets of Daein with no family. He managed to keep his cheerful personality despite his terrible status in Daein, but he would still leave this lifestyle behind in a heartbeat. Edward started training with a sword in hopes of joining the Mad King's War in order to move up in the world, but Ashnard's death put an end to that opportunity. Once the Begnion Occupational Army started to do as they pleased in Daein, Edward fled from town to town, managing to survive. Edward soon ran into Leonardo, who had become lost and cornered by the Occupational Army, and saved him from capture. Edward then taught Leonardo some basics for survival and Leonardo taught Edward some basics for fighting, and their friendship began to form and they became best friends. The two eventually met Micaiah, Nolan and Sothe and formed the Dawn Brigade to fight for a better tomorrow for Daein.

However, his unique feature is a 60% Strength growth rate. Coupled with his decent Defense, Edward can be used more offensively than other Myrmidons. On average, he caps Strength, Skill and Speed and ends up with high HP, Luck and Defense as a Swordmaster and a Trueblade. His only real weaknesses are his extremely low Magic and mediocre Resistance, However, unless you want to put the Imbue skill on him his Magic doesn't really matter. His Resistance can be a problem but with his high Evade he will dodge most attacks and if he has a support with someone with an Earth Affinity, he'll dodge everything thrown at him. Quotes Death quote “Dang it... And I was...doing so well, too...” —Edward’s death quote Retreat quotes “Ugh...! My ribs... Sorry, Micaiah. I've gotta fall back!” —Edward’s retreat quote in 3-7 Edward vs Numida “This is for the free people of Daein! Haaaa!” —Edward “Don't you idealistic twits ever give up?” —Numida Ending Sword of Justice Edward lived as a common townsman, despite the queen's wishes. He would often visit the keep to bring good news. Trivia Edward, along with Zihark, are the only two units that can reach SS weapon rank as a second-tier units. One would expect Edward and Leonardo to have a Bond Support as they became best friends after he saved Leonardo's life, however, they do not. Gallery Edward's portrait.
