Edgar Wilson

**Edgar Rupert Wilson** is a major character in Devil's Wager. He is a librarian and demonologist currently residing in London, England. He is the husband of Elizabeth Wilson and the most recognisable business partner of his close friend, David Abbott. He owns a library somewhere in the small town of London, but even has his own personal library in his mansion. Edgar was born into a family that worked alongside The Seraph and others like William Burton and M. Hullabaloo. Essentially disobeying his parent's wish to succeed as one who protected individuals from Hell's darkest powers, he went on to rebel throughout his teen years in a biker-gang of some sort.

## Personality

Edgar is seen as a quiet man with a mindset greater than the nearest dictionary. He is often described as a stereotypical British gentleman with a huge love for books and anything that consisted of researching and becoming smarter. He is an intelligent, sophisticated, and rather handsome gentleman with a kind heart for his friends and family. Often studying in his library full of hundreds of books, he was able to teach himself the basics of witchcraft. He went on to pursue his parent's desires and get along greatly with William and Hullabaloo, as well as get a chance to speak with The Seraph themselves. Even when he's so caught up in his works and studying, he always makes the time for his beloved Elizabeth, and the two pass the time with each other by the fireplace or going out for small, romantic dates.

## History

#### **Early Life**

Edgar was born and raised in London, England by his parents, Edward Wilson and Edith Wilson. He was a quiet boy with a long history of enjoying books and sorcerers. He was raised to be polite and mature and often learned much from his parents. He was well aware of the fact his parents were in touch with Saph, even at a young age. He was exposed to his parent's calling just before his 12th birthday, and he withdrew himself from every last bit of advice and information he may have needed for the future. He had dreamed of becoming a baker to suffice the sweet-toothed desires for those in London.

#### **Ripper and the Creation of Incursis**

During his teenage years, he completely rebelled against his parent's orders and withdrew himself into a more dangerous side of London. He formed new friends, new members of his motorcycle gang, and focused more on dark magic for their enjoyment. They managed to get away with criminal activity, which involved vandalism, stealing and hijacking vehicles, and even go as far as harassing pedestrians.

Unfortunately, when Edgar was 18, the group of friends managed to create and summon (thanks to Edgar's background knowledge with magic) a demon within the ranking of "high classification, but not too high as to where it could be deadly" as described by John Jones. The demon, Incursus, withheld strong aggression and hatred towards the group for creating it. It warned them that they should have never messed around with affinities such as this. They were warned vigorously. Taking it lightly, the demon possessed and essentially killed one of Edgar's teachers as another, brutal warning. Leaving the group to find the professor's body, Edgar and his friends agreed to take hold of this demon, and seal it back to Hell for good. Edgar was in charge of performing the exorcism and sealing it down, in which he successfully succeeded out of pressure and fear. The group was now at peace, and Edgar decided to leave his Ripper identity behind for the sake of his sanity.

#### **Early 1920s and Demonologist Pathway**

After seeking help to his parents, he agreed to taking up the position as a demonologist for The Seraph when he was around 19 years old. There, he worked alongside William Burton and M. Hullabaloo, and he would eventually become the close friend of Buckley Brownlow. Essentially opening up a library in London, he studied there for enjoyment purposes and obviously educational purposes. His library became the hang-out area where he and other slayers discussed and held casual meetings.

## Relationships

#### **Edward Wilson**

Edgar and his father have had a strong relationship in Edgar's early life.

#### **Elizabeth Wilson**

Both Edgar and Elizabeth attended the same school when they were about 15. They attended the same school until the last year of their required education, and the two did not start seeing one another until after they had graduated. The two would often come by the local library and bump into one another. There, the two discussed titles and read together, which gradually elevated into a romantic relationship. The two married in the winter of 1923, and lived together in their cathedral-inspired mansion.
