Edmund

Defender of the Order of the Guardians
Edmund and Gondek are from different factions of the same order. Edmund is a ‘Defender of the Order of the Guardians’, which means that his purpose is to defend whatever Dubhe deems necessary at all cost. While many Guardians are placed throughout the crypts, caves, temples and citadels of Edenea, protecting many relics, artifacts and weapons, Edmund’s job is defending the tomb of Tayyyik Shareef. Within the Tomb of Tayyyik Shareef lies the ‘Crown of Tayyyik Shareef’ an artifact said to give the wearer control over the Eastern Provinces of Edenea.

Edmund has guarded the tomb of Tayyyik Shareef since the end of the second era without ever having left his post. Not a single warrior or adventurer has made it past him, and his role as ‘Guardian’ ensured that minimal have died while trying, most simply tired out and returned home. Edmund is still under the direct control of ‘The Hand of Dubhe’ and does not require sleep or food. His purpose is to defend the tomb, which is his eternal place. His mind doesn’t wander from his task and he never flinches or hesitates. Every move Edmund makes is completely preordained and executed with complete precision. While he is not particularly agile, Edmund has a flow to his fighting which can be difficult to explain, his movements are seldom obstructed, even when an obstruction lies between his limb and its destination. Edmund’s combat strategy is very much that of a one-man phalanx. He stands his ground and simply pushes his enemy back with unrelenting, unstoppable force until the enemy is clear, then Edmund returns to his position in the narrow passageway again.

After Edmund is freed from ‘The Hand of Dubhe’ he becomes much like his fellow Guardian, Gondek. Gondek and Edmund have similar backgrounds, and therefore quite similar personalities. They are both strong, silent, and obedient.
