This article contains information on a **Non-playable Minor Character**.As these characters are often only mentioned in passing, all information is gathered from various canon sources then compiled here. Due to this nature, some **assumptions and theories** may be included and will be updated as more sources and information is revealed or discovered.

## Story Details

### Connected Characters

Major:* "Jack"
* Keigan Nicholas Keogh

**Edmund Reed** is a police officer. He participated in Group 2's Manor Game to investigate the case involving The Ripper.

## Character Details

Before the events at the Manor, The Ripper murdered five female victims in England and managed to escape without being caught. Edmund was likely a part of the investigation and was sent after The Ripper, which led him to become a participant in Group 2's Manor Game.

### Events at the Manor

Little is currently known about Edmund's time at the Manor.

While at the manor, a letter was addressed to Edmund from one of the other participants claiming him to be indirectly at fault for the tragedy that happened to Keigan. In his notebook, Edmund wrote his own opinion of what happened, saying it was a “baseless assumption” as he was not the one who harmed her. Despite the accusation, he believed whoever wrote the letter was on the side of justice. He believed what happened to Keigan matched the victims of “The Ripper”. As he ended the letter, Edmund promised to himself that if justice is not found for the crime, then he would no longer exercise his power as a police officer.

### Alternate Theories and Conclusions

* Edmund seems to be based on the real life Detective Inspector Edmund Reid.
	+ Edmund Reid was the head of the CID in the Metropolitan police’s H division during the time Jack the Ripper was active. He had his own theory that Jack the Ripper was actually a local drunk who would forget about his own crimes.
	+ Edmund Reid’s police warrant number was 56100. This is likely where “H56100” comes from.
* Based on his appearance in The Ripper's 2023 Letter, Edmund appears to be a participant in Manor Game 2.

## Canon Manor Game

We can gather who was in a canon Manor Game together by information in Letters and Diaries, and very occasionally from character quotes during events. However, as he is an unplayable character, this Manor Game and its events were taken from The Ripper's 2022 and 2023 Letters.

2. ↑ In The Ripper's 2023 Letter, Keigan is mentioned to have been attacked, suspected to be by The Ripper. Based on information from The Ripper's 2022 Letter, it is likely she is 2-1-1, who was targeted by the Ripper.
3. ↑ The Ripper's 2022 and 2023 Letters mention a tragedy happened to Keigan as she was likely to be The Ripper's target due to her likeliness to his previous victims. It may brings to the conclusion that Keigan's main role in this Manor Game is to be a survivor as the main hunter is The Ripper.
4. ↑ The Ripper's 2022 Letter shows that Keigan was the target of The Ripper while The Ripper's 2023 Letter mentions a tragedy happened to her. This means that she was attacked, or potentially eliminated by The Ripper.
