Edgar

Edgar (1027-1066) is the Ghost of an Anglo-Saxon Peasant. He has the power to control light. 
Life
Edgar was born in a small Village in the Anglo-Saxon era. He grew up to be a Peasant. He lived in a one-roomed Thatch house. Edgar did farming mainly and lived a difficult life, but enjoyed life. When King Edward the Confessor died, Harold Godwinson claimed the throne. However, another popular option for the throne was Edgar Atheling (not Edgar), the closest blood relative to the childless King Edward. Edgar couldn’t decide who to support, as some of his friends were supporting Harold, while other were supporting Edgar. On Sunday (the day off), Edgar left the Village to think. He went quite far, to some large, empty land with only a few trees at the time Edgar thought Harold Godwinson had a better chance of becoming King as he was older than the teenage Edgar Atheling. There were also other men claiming to be the King of England, for example Harald Hardrada, King of Norway, and William Duke of Normandy. Edgar doubted William would conquer England, so forgot about him, and didn’t like the idea of a foreign King taking the throne. So Edgar chose to support Harold Godwinson, but as he was about to return home to his Village a storm started. Edgar thought it would be safer to shelter under a tree rather than walk the long journey home. However, after a few minutes of being under the tree, Edgar was struck by lightning and killed. 
Death
Once he’d realised he had died, Edgar was upset to learn he couldn’t leave the land. He was devastated at the fact he’d never see his friends again. He was also surprised when he watched overtime as the Normans (led by William Duke of Normandy/William the Conqueror) came to power. He was alone for centuries, until finally some men from a Battle became Ghosts, though Edgar never really bonded with them. Once Robinson House was built in the early Tudor era, the Battle Ghosts took refuge in the Basement as their bodies (or at least, the bodies of the many people who died in their battle and ascended to the Afterlife) were buried deep under the Basement. When Anne became a Ghost, Edgar finally had someone to talk to, though they weren’t really close. When Jane became a Ghost Edgar bonded with Jane and they became close.
