Lt. Douglas “Eddie the Edge” Edgerson- A former Dominion pilot who quickly rose to prominence during the early days of the Dominion-Gru Conflict. He become an ace in record time. Based on his aptitude for MS flight, he was transferred away from the front lines to FAC-62 as a test pilot for Project Overhaul (HSOS). While working on the project he became entangled with Dr. Shinohara, and her son, Haru. It is at HSOS that he meets Karen and Bart. Edgerson was Bart’s CO at HSOS, and did not care for the lackadaisical, showboating spoiled child that Bart proved himself to be, time and time again. Karen, on the other hand, became fast friends with Eddie, setting the seeds for romance later in the story. While at the Project, Eddie and Dr. Shinohara become intimate, while never officially dating. While spending time with the Dr., Eddie becomes close with her son, Haru, becoming almost a surrogate father to him. Despite his semi-relationship with the Dr., Karen uses their friendship to ask Eddie to claim paternity for her unborn baby. Eddie does not ask who the father is, and accepts her request immediately. This semi-idyllic pattern of life comes to a devastating halt once Dr. Shinohara is ‘abducted,’ and Bart’s glory seeking cost him his arm. While in the hospital, he receives a visit from Karen and Bart. They approach him arm-in-arm, and he realizes that Bart is the father. Flying into a rage at the unrepentant man responsible for his maiming, Eddie understands that he’s in love with Karen, and shouts them out of the hospital. After the event he is honorably discharged, and doesn’t see or hear from Karen or Bart until the start of the story. He still keeps tabs on Karen, and sends anonymous payments to her parents to help take care of her daughter. After his discharge from the service, and his release from the hospital, he was approached by Maude Villapeak. He signed onto Maude’s Mavericks in a heartbeat, and took on support roles until his rehab was completed, whereupon he started flying. After serving with the Mavericks for a year and a half, he took his contacts, and left to found Tombstone. He remains on good terms with Maude. 31 years old, 5’7 -- source link
