However, Edward is a selfish, greedy and evil man with the desire to take over the world for his ideals. He is extremely ambitious, eager for power and dedicated to The Order, but it shows that he is enraged when other high officials do not follow his path. Although loyal to The Order, Edward has no regard for punishing those who break the rules and does not hesitate to manipulate those around him to achieve his goals.
