Brief Description (physical appearance & personality):
5'11", curly black hair, brown eyes, fairly muscular, but with an elegant grace to all his movements. He is generaly serious and quiet, fiercly loyal to all he feels worthy of it, and will go to any length to save friends, even give up his own life in a second

Special Abilities and/or Channelling Strengths:
Double katana weilder, carries also kama-sticks. Fairly well versed in almost all weaponry except pikes, which he dislikes. Channeler.

History:
He left the Defenders at age 17 because he didn't want to spend his life in Tear. And once he made the final oaths, he would have to stay until he died. His fater, a Defender as his father before him etc., wasn't happy. Eddie went on his own, and in Saldea, found a stasis box and single-handedly defeated an almost dead gholam, carving a piece of his body off and fashioning from it a ring that confers the same Power immunity as Matrim Cauthon's foxhead medallion of legend. With this talisman and story, he returned to Tear when he got news of his father dying. His father, with his last breaths, forgave his son and agreed to let him follow his own path, giving him the matched power wrought dragon-headed katanas that had been in their family since the Breaking of the world.

With this new found sense of once again belonging, Eddie ventured out, joining the Warders of the White Tower. With his Defender skill, he quickly rose to become Head Warder, and there became friends with Mayadi, the Amyrlin Seat. Eddie, frustrated with the White Tower, left to find a new life and freedom.

After arriving at the much talked about Purple Tower, Eddie, for the first time in a long time, felt like he had a home. He found friendship, love and danger. Lots of danger. In a year's time, he had seen more action than in the five years he had been at the White Tower. He's been to other dimensions, faced death countless times and always managed to pull through. He's seen the death of love and the death of friends. He's seen friends come back from the dead. He's gained and lost trust. He's even been dead a couple times himself. Yet he always comes back. He keeps his vision of what he needs to do with life firmly in front of him and at all times lives life to the fullest. It is a gift not to be squandered. And he may be hurt, he may be bereft of companions at time, but he will always fight for what he believes to be right.
