Edward "Ed" is a city mage and ally to the Finder group the Garricks

Personality

Has a tendency to downplay things.<ref name=":1">“This might be an oh yes, I don’t know.  But it’s not easy.  Remember Ed?  Associated with the Finders family?”

“Yeah.”

“His family’s trying to find their feet after Alexander disappeared.  They were pretty seriously into Alexander’s network, and they’re not in a great way with this whole situation.  Anyway, they’re onto a new path, they found a way in, they want help.”

“Help as in…?”

“As in they’re figuring it out.  Trying to work out the rules and troubleshoot some of the problems.  If I’m translating the Ed-ese right, Ed was saying they would appreciate a fresh set of eyes.”

“Ed-ese?” Nicolette asked.

“He’s the kind of guy who could get his arms and legs hacked off and he’d say ‘that wasn’t great’, and he had a kid, hale and healthy, wife did terrific, and according to Ray Ed’s enthusiasm was expressed as ‘not so bad a day’.”

“Reminds me of my grandfather from when he could speak more,” Avery said.

“If that helps you speak Ed’s language then that’s great.  From what I understand, this Path stuff is pretty hazardous, you’re engaging with a system you don’t understand.  Looking at the wrong thing or touching the wrong object could make something happen or mean something and then the entire dynamic changes.” - Excerpt from Shaking Hands 9.3</ref>

Relationships

An acquaintance of Alexander, once brought guns from him.<ref name=":2">Wye: I’ll talk to Richmond and Fraser about the guns for Ed’s frisky little Parasite God. He said he’d pay us double what the guns were worth if handled the purchasing and took that worry off his mind. Doesn’t want to break the perimeter or spare any hands for a shopping trip.
I did a reading on the finances. If I overbuy, show up with enough, he’ll pay for the excess, then let us buy it back. Free guns.
Depicted: Alexander leans in closer, his eyes taking up the majority of the mirror.
Wye: Alexander?
Alexander: It’s good. Go ahead with that. Do you have enough in your account? - Excerpt from [7.3 Spoilers] Borrowed eyes comic</ref> His fortunes suffered after Alex's death.<ref name=":1" /> Works with the Garricks.<ref name=":0" />

Nicolette did errands for him whilst she worked for Alexander, he taught her a ritual to help her improve her sense of direction.<ref>Nicolette knew Ed.  He was the one she’d done the errand for, where she had been taught the map ritual.  It was the kind of ritual she liked, where she did it once and got a benefit thereafter.  It did close some doors, though.  To always know where she was, but to have a harder time navigating places that needed a little confusion.

Ed was a specialist in shamanism, specific to locations.  Talking to the spirits of cities, getting some spirits to bring him or cargo from one place to another.  It helped at times to know where he was going, which was why he stayed in close contact with Alex. - Excerpt from Stolen Away 2.z</ref>

Appearance

Pretty non-descript<ref>Lucy tilted her head to let the cold slide past her as she walked through the door, stepping through. The group of them emerged from the bathroom and rounded the corner, with Cliff leading the way to a space at the end of the motel parking lot where a large RV was parked, with a man smoking.

“Can’t waste much time,” Cliff said.

“Not a problem,” the man said, handing over a set of keys. He looked over their group, waving a hand through his smoke as the wind blew it their direction. He took a step away from them. “Sorry. Here, I’ll let you go. Talk to you later, Cliff?”[...]“That was Ed!?” Avery exclaimed. “I should’ve said hi, or things.”

Cliff explained, “He went off to tour the spirit world kingdoms and things, delved pretty deep into the spirits of cities. Now he wanders, tries to stay in touch, but getting him to sit still and spend time with you is a bit of a trick.” - Excerpt from In Absentia 21.11</ref>

Abilities

Ed is an experienced City Mage. Knowing several rituals and presumably having a large amount of cachet with such spirits.

Chronology

Was busy trying to deal with a God Parasite.<ref name=":2" />

He played a part in getting Avery Kelly in contact with the Garricks <ref name=":0">Avery wanted to walk the Paths, and Zed knew a city mage named Edward, who knew finders who walked the Paths, as well as delving into the Abyss.

In the dizzying series of trades and whatnot, the deal was that if Zed got the tape back, Avery could have more information on the Paths, including one trial-walk that proved they knew what they were talking about. - Excerpt from Leaving a Mark 4.1</ref>
