**Dominic Aaron Drew Edwards**is a character who was born after the outbreak in *The Walking Dead by EDStudios*, a main character and the former tritagonist of the '*New Age*' Extension, and the protagonist of *''The Dominic Special"*. He is the youngest child of Harry Edwards and Bethany and was born two years after the Battle of Archangel. Unlike his sister, Dominic revelled in the war-time escapades of his father and those around him and grew up fascinated by the art of war. As such he excelled at the School of Defence and enlisted in the New Graystone Military as soon as he was of age. Reaching the rank of lieutenant while he was still in his teens, Dominic proved to be a strong leader and later general, reflecting his father's leadership skills. Nonetheless, he always felt he lay in the shadows of his father, mother, half-brother and sister.

In his mid-teens, he met a woman named Evie and fathered twins with her, Hope and Jacob Edwards. After losing his new wife, Dominic grew bitter of the world. By the beginning of the '*New Age*' Extension, he had become the general of the military and was tasked with clearing Chicago and leading the Commonwealth's war against the Republic of David. He was the acting leader of the Commonwealth of New Graystone in the war against the New Buckingham Corps.

After the defeat of the New Buckingham Corps and the end of the West-East Coast War, Dominic became the legitimate leader of Adams Air Force Base, just as his father had once been. Despite trying to establish relations with the Columbian after their isolation, all attempts failed, although Dominic is certain his daughter, Hope, still leads the Columbian.

## Relationships

### Evie

### Harry Edwards

Edwards and Dominic had a relatively rocky relationship, mostly caused by the coldness his father showed him in his teens. In his youth, Edwards was very close and loving to his son but became colder and distant as his son entered his teens, believing that Dominic's aspiration to work outside the Commonwealth required a tougher upbringing. While Dominic would later come to accept that his father's lessons are the reason he is still alive despite everything he has been through, he held strong resentment towards his father for many years. Their relationship mended in Edwards' final hours when he apologised for how he treated Dominic, an apology that Dominic would eventually come to accept.
