### Edward Fyers: 1970 - 1987

Edward "Eddie" Fyers had a good childhood. He was from a middle-class family who spent a lot of time together — often camping and hunting outdoors. Eddie's father worked in a brewery and his mother worked part-time cleaning and answering phones for a real estate agent. Eddie had a good circle of friends — clean cut kids who did well in school.

As teenagers Eddie and his friends each began to rebel against their parents and had some juvenile delinquency issues. Most of this was not serious, but it did lead to the teens often ditching town for the weekend to spend time in the Fyers family hunting cabin, to engage in underage drinking, partying, and target practice. The teens would often remain until one of their parents came to collect them.

However, for Eddie's seventeenth birthday, Eddie and his friends skipped school the day before and drive up in the cabin. After a long night of partying, the teens wake up the next morning and remark that none of their parents came to collect them. The teens decide to remain at the cabin until someone does come. Eddie and a friend then headed into town for more supplies.

While distracting the clerk at a convenience store as his friend shoplifted beer, Eddie heard two other customers talking about the 'big blue flash' in Milwaukee. As he listened more intently, Eddie heard about devastating loss of his life and suddenly, he knew something was wrong.

Upon learning all of them were now orphans, Eddie and his friends were split up and shipped off to live in Fallville with his aunt and uncle. He kept in touch with his friends, and they planned a reunion at the cabin after graduation.

At the Fyers cabin, the young men made a pact to join the military together. They were all determined to keep the global peace that they saw their parents having died for. By the time Eddie and his friend were out of basic training, Eddie could already see the peace beginning to unravel. When his superior officers saw Eddie's resolve and test results, he was soon reassigned to the SEALs program.

In his nine years as SEAL, Eddie undertook missions that crippled terrorist networks, protected international dignitaries, and overthrew tyrannical regimes. He developed close ties to the CIA and was recruited to join their ranks after being shot in the shoulder and being benched during his recovery.

### Edward Fyers: 1999 - 2004

The CIA put Eddie to work right away. Early on he was assigned to investigate the League of Assassins as he had prior encounters with them as a SEAL. His inquiries brought him to Star City where he was investigating reports of a vigilante archer whose fighting techniques matched those of the Safinat Dakhma. Fyers would soon have a number of run-ins with the Green Arrow. Agent Fyers was determined to expose Green Arrow for being a vanguard of the League of Assassins.

### Edward Fyers: 2004 - Present

After witnessing the Green Arrow's heroic efforts during the Brainiac invasion, Eddie began to suspect that he was wrong. He doubled down on his investigation to be sure and managed to discover Green Arrow's lair and his identity as Oliver Queen. Fyers and Queen had a very tense discussion that left off with Queen uncertain about Fyers' intentions.

Before Fyers could come to a conclusion himself as to what to do, Mr. Bones turned up in Fyers' own home. Bones assured Fyers that Queen was one to trust, but just in case he was wrong, he offered Fyers a high-ranking position in the DEO with all the resources and authority he would need to shut Queen down if he ever stepped out of line. Fyers accepted the job — the job still maintain to this day.
