Dignified and aristocratic, Edward is the picture of a traditional Ventrue sovereign, with a perfected superior sneer and the uncanny ability to completely fail to see anyone who is beneath him, no matter how hard they try to get his attention. He is generally polite and kind to most people he interacts with, although in a distant sort of a way, and is a staple of genteel court evenings on Elysium and lively political debate in the Primogen council chambers.

Mortal Life
Edward is a native of the Washington DC area, born in the early nineteenth century on the border between the growing unrest of the northern and southern states. He was a young doctor, just beginning his surgical practice, when the American Civil War broke out, and immediately enlisted on the side of the Union, turning his medical talents toward helping the wounded and sick on the battlefield and in the supply lines.
The horrors of war were terrible, and Edward became more and more sick at heart as the South refused to give up the struggle and he worked on more and more butchered soldiers, some family men, some barely more than children, others African-Americans fighting for their right to be considered human beings. As the fighting dragged onward, he became more and more embittered, and began actively campaigning for an end to the war by any means, although as a mere battlefield medic he had little power to make that happen.
Embrace
During one particularly fraught evening, when the battle had spilled over into the night and a large town was mostly destroyed as a result, Edward stumbled across a man pinned by a fallen beam in the wreckage of his house - a man who should have been dead from his crushed ribcage, but was still, somehow, alive. The man was a Ventrue who allowed Edward to live in return for rescuing him, although he cautioned him never to return if he valued his life.
Edward forgot about the strange encounter in the continuing stress of the war, until eventually he read the shocking news of President Lincoln's assassination. It was the final straw; fed up with the war and with humanity in general, he returned to the Ventrue's house and demanded to be Embraced, believing that only this would give him the power to affect the country and prevent this kind of unrest from happening again. The vampire in question almost killed him, but was amused by his determination and impressed by his drive, and granted his request after a short probationary period.
Attempted Rebellion
Edward's sire, David Case, was part of a Ventrue-backed coalition attempting to overthrow the previous Prince, the Tremere Marissa; although there were considerable resources backing the venture, in the end Marissa discovered the plot and disbanded it, killing several participants (including Case). Edward, aware of his own precarious position, went to Marissa in order to convince her that he was more useful to her alive as a Ventrue insider than dead; much to his relief, she agreed, and allowed him to live provided he submitted to a Blood Bond.
Once bound, Edward of course fell madly in love with Marissa and acted as her spy for some years, until she began to allow Marcus Vitel to pay court to her instead. He was vastly opposed to Vitel and attempted to undercut him at every turn out of jealousy, but after Marissa's death and the severing of the bond, he realized that his connection to her was an unhealthy one and shook off the lingering feelings. Now that Vitel is in power, Edward is careful around him; he bears him no more ill will and would prefer to work with him to maintain control of the city, but is still worried that the Prince might remember his past opposition.
