## Appearances

### Death Episode

'Wolves' *(confirmed fate)*

"*These people are not **dangerous**. They make you think that they are by making you **afraid**. The yelling. The screaming. Those...**monsters** that they control. It's all to make you afraid. Behind that - believe me - they're **nothing**. [...] I've seen plenty of people like them. My people are facing people like this right now. That's why I'm here. I came south to find some way to help my people, the people I consider **family**. But now I find myself in the middle of **fuck-knows-where** battling a bunch of savages that burn women and children alive. And despite **everything**...the one thing I don't want is revenge. I just want to get the fuck out of here. I want to go home. And I will do **anything** to get home...even if that means killing **every last one of them**,*"
—Edwards to Jules [src]

**Henry "Harry" Edwards**, historicallyknown by his tribal title **The** **Veteran of Pain and Suffering** - or more simply **The Veteran** -and known to the Norn as **Mye'Akal** ("*World-Ender*" or *"They That Speaks For the Silent Voices"*) and as **Wolf** to the Heathens,is the protagonist of *The Fatal Frontier*. The central character around which the entire series revolves around, he is one of the most famous, powerful and revered survivors in the history of the apocalypse.

The former leader of Greencole and a founder of the Commonwealth of New Graystone, Edwards is originally from the UK, and came to the USA with his friends on an exchange trip, and was stuck there forever when the apocalypse began. He soon became the leader of the group and devoted himself to his group's safety. He would go onto lead the Greencole Group and co-found the New Graystone Alliance, leading them in the war against the Frontiersmen. During the prelude to the NGA-Frontiersmen War, Edwards made a solo journey south, searching for weapons to be used against the Frontiersmen. In doing so, he was fooled by the Cobras and taken captive by a tribe known as the Norn. After defeating their Champion, Edwards forms an alliance with Lupa and her tribe to defeat the Norn and return home.

In his late ages, Edwards returned to the garage where his journey began and decided to put his experiences in the Wilds to paper, finally revealing the traumatic events that he fought through and hid from all those he knew.

## Overview

Edwards is an imposing, tall and dark survivor who initially seems gruff and even unfriendly. However, once he trusts someone he makes his true nature known: a welcoming man with a good sense of humour, often-life-saving experience, and a powerful determination to protect his friends and allies.

### Personality

Edwards is typically calm, smart, and a good friend and father figure, but he will often stubbornly cling to his strong personal moral code, which has resulted in numerous bad calls and extra stress within the group. His greatest fault, perhaps, is his uncanny ability to place responsibility on himself and set for himself goals that are impossible to reach. Despite his faults, his combat skill and general care for all members of the group have led him to be looked up to and allowed him to take the leadership role within the group.

However, all of this hides a diagnosis of Asperges Syndrome, a condition he has managed to suppress due to his strong willpower. For example, his physical clumsiness and inability to read body language were trained out of him during his strenuous sessions with The Teller in Bennington National Park. However, he often speaks in a long-winded, pedantic and clinical fashion.

One of the most notable aspects of his personality is, unfortunately, severe anger issues, resulting in him often losing his temper when those close to him are hurt. Notable examples are his mutilation of Francis during their fight after he threatens to hurt Jess, and his literal beating open of the face of Randall after he horrifically scars AJ, killing him in the process. He also loses his temper with the Commonwealth Council due to their hesitation to go to war with the Government. Often, Edwards has let his anger get the better of him, resulting in him becoming cruel, methodical and even sadistic towards those who have hurt those he loves. The most notable example of this was his slow dismemberment of Chris in revenge for the murder of Charlotte, and continuing to axe at his disembowelled corpse.

On occasion, Edwards has fallen victim to a number of vices, including weed, violent sex, and alcohol, the latter of which he has abstained from due to his alcoholism, a factor of his personality that has nearly destroyed him in the past. Edwards is also one of the few members of the group to maintain a smoking habit, which he begins after the sabotage of Greencole, and he uses as an alternative to alcoholism; it is one of the few vices of which he has tried to quit but ultimately failed in doing so, especially in times of stress.

Edwards is strongly non-religious, admitting to never have been much of a believer, instead putting his faith in his family and the group members around him. He also appears to view religion and belief in God as an interference and a waste of time. Relying on the survival skills he has picked up over the years, Edwards has evolved into a battle-hardened survivor who will protect his family and group without question, putting his faith in his friends and family instead of a higher power.

It has often been proposed by some of his fellow survivors that, ever since the death of Holly, Edwards has suffered from a death wish. This has been evidenced on several occasions, including when he nearly sacrificed himself during the Soap Factory Massacre and his willingness to go on ahead and put his life at serious risk during missions; a second demonstration was his reckless and near-suicidal hunt for the Crow after the destruction of the Capital and the murder of Kieron. However, it is also notable that this behaviour has come and gone, and typically arises whenever he loses someone close to him and can last for days, weeks and even years.

By the end of *Season 2* and the beginning of *Season 3*, Edwards has hardened considerably and comes to terms with his brutality, now willing to kill any and all human threats without question in order to protect his friends and family, while still being able to retain his humanity. During this time, his confidence in himself and his fellow group members grows, believing that his group will triumph and conquer over any threats they come across. His confidence remains strong even when the group is under the thumb of the String Gang and he even manages to taunt Rhodes when chained up, beaten and fully at his mercy.

In *Season 8*, Edwards has stepped down as leader of Greencole, deciding to concentrate on his relationship with Holly and raising AJ, as well as helping make Greencole self-sustainable. He conducts farm work in the community and desires to be treated like any other resident of the fortress, asking to be given orders while reinforcing the wall with other residents. However, he is consistently asked by his friends to return to his leadership role, most notably by Drew. Once the traitor is revealed and the community sabotaged, Edwards realizes that he was living a fantasy and returns to leadership.

Beginning in *Season 10*, Edwards has become noticeably colder and harsher. It is also by this point that he begins showing classic signs of alcoholism: drinking excessively, his sleep patterns become more irregular - causing a return of his paranoia - and hallucinations.

In *Season 12*, Edwards has lost his leadership role and has finally given in to his alcoholism, losing the respect of many residents of the community. The successful invasion of Greencole by Liam Hull and his rejuvenated String Gang pushes a weakened Edwards to his absolute breaking point. Having been the first man to devolve Edwards into a complete loss of power and control, Liam reveals the extremity of Edwards' emotions of absolute fear and subjugation as he becomes horrified for the safety of his remaining group should he provoke Liam again. However, when Liam directly threatens AJ in front of the community, Edwards regains his courage and leads the fight against the Gang, driving them out of Greencole forever. After hallucinating Aaron and realizing his duties, Edwards decides to never have a drop of alcohol again.

Despite the Frontiersmen's subjugation of the group and the widespread power they wield, Edwards remains resolute, convincing the group that there is nothing left to fight for and eventually proving to them that the group can take on any threat.

## Pre-Apocalypse

Harry Edwards was born in December 1996 in the historic town of Fort William, Scotland, where he was initially raised. At the age of three, he and his family moved south to East Anglia, where he met Alex, James and his other friends. Due to his Asperger's Syndrome, he was never the best with people, but was able to make a few, extremely strong bonds with people he knew; luckily, he had a good relationship with his fellow classmates. He experienced a decent childhood, with his parents being a big influence on him. He became greatly inspired by the wartime tales of his great-grandfather, who installed a strong moral code in him. When his great-grandfather died, he left Edwards his bullet-dented pocket watch which saved his life during WWII.

Known for his interest in ‘useless’ facts, Edwards was destined to be a scientist and had a profound interest in entertainment, being a rock and jazz enthusiast. He kept in shape through boxing, using his enormous stature and natural upper-body strength to his advantage in the ring, as well as mountain climbing, an activity he excelled at. When he arrived in the US, he often visited a gun range with his army cadet friend Justinas, using his older looks to bluff his age in order to get some target practice.

### The Fatal Frontier

#### 'Wildfire'

Several years after facing Antony Eden at Sasha Farm, a one-armed, aged Edwards makes a trip to an overgrown garage near the Montana-Wyoming state border. He begins to write that he has viewed the garage as a second home for much of his life, and has finally decided to reveal the events that occurred in 2028, during the prelude to the NGA-Frontiersmen War.

In 2028, five months after the Battle of Prescott, Edwards makes a solo journey to Wyoming, meeting a group of survivors called the Cobras who recently made contact with Adams Air Force Base. The Cobras supposedly have a stockpile of weapons they are willing to trade to the NGA for use against the Frontiersmen. When Edwards arrives at their camp, he quickly discovers that the stockpile does not exist and is shot and knocked unconscious by the Cobras.

When Edwards regains consciousness, he discovers he has been hogtied and captured by people wearing hooded robes. He tries to get his bearings and locks eyes with a fellow captive, a young woman with deep scars on her neck, who appears to recognise him. When he struggles to get free, he is rendered unconscious once more.

When he awakens, he discovers he has been chained to a stone wall, beaten and hastily stitched up, in an underground dungeon. A wrinkled woman gives him water; on closer inspection, her wrinkles are actually deep cuts in her face, and her mouth has been sewn shut. A hulking man then enters the dungeon to terrify other prisoners who make their presence known only through screams. The man, whose teeth have been sharpened to deadly fangs, then tries to bite off Edwards' ear, chuckling when he discovers the ear is already missing. He leaves, followed by a gang of troops.

Hours later, Edwards is unchained and injected with a serum that numbs his entire body. He is dragged aboveground into a primitive village, whose inhabitants begin chanting a haunting Nordic tune in an unknown language. Edwards is forced to watch the Shark-Toothed Man sacrifice a mother and her newborn child before he is thrown into an arena. He is then forced to fight a giant creature with a blade arm known only as the Champion. He is thrown around the arena until he spots the woman from the cart in the crowd, who throws his tomahawk into the arena. Edwards retrieves it, and the tables are turned. Edwards manages to dodge most of the Champion's attacks, ending the fight by swiftly decapitating the creature. He throws the severed head to the feet of the village leader, a woman adorned with black flowers, before feeling returns to his body. He realizes he was badly cut by the Champion's blade arm and collapses as warriors enter the arena to drag him away.

#### 'Bloodshot'

Mere seconds after killing the Champion, Edwards collapses from the bad wound in his side. A troop of four warriors rush into the arena and load him onto a stretcher, carrying him out of the arena and around to its subterranean quarters. The warriors tend to Edwards but are caught by surprise when he sits up and attacks them, breaking the neck of one and swiftly killing the other three with their own weapons. Still losing blood, Edwards is caught off-guard by the Shark-Toothed Man, who forces Edwards to the floor with a single punch. The Man picks Edwards up by his hair and throws him onto a stone table, pinning him. Interith enters and orders the Shark-Toothed Man to stop Edwards from squirming. To do so, the Man forces his fingers into Edwards' wound, causing him to pass out from pain and exhaustion.

When Edwards awakens, it is with yet another terrible pain in his side, where he discovers his wound has been sealed with a hot pike. He barely has seconds to get his bearings before he is grabbed by two priests and carried into Kyther's quarters, where he is thrown to the floor. He hears liquid sloshing and looks up to see a woman with a chalise of liquid in her hand; by its scent, Edwards guesses that the liquid is blood. "*Mi asit, Mye'Akal*" she says. Edwards groans and says he cannot understand her, so the woman leans over him and says, in English, "World-Ender. You have finally come". She then delivers a single punch to Edwards, which is strong enough to force him to the stone floor. Edwards spits blood, "Enough" he says "You people better let me go, or you'll be faced with a force unlike anything you could ever imagine". The woman laughs as she finishes her drink, before saying "They would never see us, not until their throats have already been slit". Edwards realizes that he is bleeding again, and, despite his exhaustion manages to raise himself onto his knees "I won't need them" he says "because it's very simple for me. I'm gonna kill you. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow...but I'm gonna kill *all* of you". The woman grins and says "I am Kyther. The Goddess of Death. We are the Norn, given life by Death. We do not fear your blade". She places her hand around Edwards' throat and squeezes "You are *Mye'Akal*. World-Ender. You killed our Champion. You are destined to destroy us. But" she lets go, "You are also our saviour". Edwards says that it does not make sense before Kyther kicks him in the side before beating him into unconsciousness.

When Edwards awakens, he has been stripped naked and chained to the stone table. He looks around and spots Kyther in the shadows, watching him. She approaches and grabs him by the throat "We decide your destiny". Interith suddenly appears and stabs Edwards in the neck with a syringe. His vision blurs instantly as Interith leaves. Kyther then climbs on top of Edwards and proceeds to violently choke him. Edwards fights back, but the serum takes its toll and he blacks out.

Edwards wakes up back in his cell, chained to the wall, having been beaten while he was unconscious. He struggles to breathe and notices that he has continued bleeding. He starts hearing voices, among them Holly and Becky, and he weeps. He falls asleep and has a nightmare of Holly on her deathbed, suddenly reanimating and biting him before proceeding to tear his guts out while he refuses to fight back.

Water is splashed onto his face, alerting him enough that he looks up to see the Wrinkled Woman. She proceeds to break the chains and dresses him. She carries him out into the corridor and brutally slits the throat of an unaware guard. The woman carries him to a rear exit and gives Edwards instructions in her language. As Edwards protests, the woman is quickly impaled with Edwards' tomahawk in her side. Edwards turns to see the Shark-Toothed Man approaching; Edwards removes his axe from the woman's corpse and sprints into the village. He takes cover from many arrows and ducks into an underground corridor. He tackles a guard and cuts his head in half with his axe, but is caught from behind by another warrior. After a brief struggle, Edwards turn him and axes his chest, before his throat opens, spraying Edwards with blood. Lupa appears as the body falls and Edwards holds his axe to her face. He recognises her as the girl from the cart. He lowers his tomahawk and simply says "that's my jacket", to which Lupa smiles.

#### 'Sacrifice'

Edwards and Lupa stand as they recognise each other. Edwards tightens his grip on his tomahawk, but Lupa opens her hand in surrender. She opens her mouth in an attempt to speak, but no sound comes out. Edwards asks her name, but again Lupa cannot answer. Instead, she kneels down and coats her finger in the blood of the trooper they killed in the previous episode. She brings her finger to the wall and writes "LUPA". Edwards replies "Lupa. She-Wolf"; Lupa nods. Edwards then places his hand on his chest, and simply says "Wolf". At that second, the two of them pause, hearing rapidly approaching footsteps. Lupa begins to retreat, grabbing Edwards' arm and dragging him further down the tunnel. As they run, Edwards tries to ask who their captors are, but receives no answer.

The two of then run into three warriors, who charge with daggers. Lupa throws her dagger, landing in the cheek of the first troop, while Edwards dodges against the wall and swings his axe across the second troop's face. The third charges, and Edwards launches a kick, forcing him back. Lupa charges him against the wall, pinning him, while Edwards comes forward and axes him in the head. More troops approach from behind them and they run once more. Lupa spots a set of steps and the two of them climb back out into the surface. They run into the Norn's crop fields, listening to the furious bellows of the tribe's entire legion. Lupa points in the direction of the hole where Jules escaped, but are stopped in their tracks by a nearby thud. They turn to see the Champion's reanimated head, its jaws snapping. From the fields emerges Interith, armed with a spiked whip. Interith lets out a roar and swings the whip above his head, narrowly missing their heads. Edwards loses balance and tells Lupa to run, and she sprints into the crops. Edwards rolls to the side to avoid another strike, and forces himself into a risky sprint as Interith retrieves his whip. Interith swings again, but Edwards is too slow in his downward dodge and the tip of the whip catches his back, ripping through his skin. Crawling on his hands and knees, he sees the approaching warriors. As Interith lifts the whip over his head, Edwards throws himself upwards, swinging his axe as he does so. The blade catches Interith in the face and the High Priest screams in agony. The swing brings Edwards back onto all fours, and he looks up to see Interith's jaw hanging from his face.

The High Priest yells in rage and agony and Edwards takes the chance to run, following Lupa's tracks in the dirt and narrowly avoiding another strike from Interith. He finally breaks from the fields, but is caught off guard by a warrior. The warrior tackles him to the ground, and the exhausted Edwards can barely wrestle him. The warrior gets his hands around Edwards' throat, but an arrow flies from nearby and lands in the warrior's head, killing him. Edwards throws the body off of him and stands to see Lupa, now armed with her bow and arrow. Edwards smiles and carries himself over to her. She fires three more arrows, killing a few more attackers, before she leads him to the hole in the village wall. She takes another arrow and sets the tip alight with her engraved lighter. She fires the arrow into the fields, setting them alight. The flames quickly spread through the dry crops, and as the two run they hear the screams of burning foes.

Edwards and Lupa duck down into a trench, carefully checking to make sure they were not followed. As they pant, Edwards notices his entire body is covered in blood, little of it being his own. He rests his head in his hands, but Lupa stands and taps her bow against him. When he looks up, he sees Charlotte, but squeezes his eyes and once more sees Lupa. She beckons him to follow her, and the two climb out of the trench. In the distance, over the hills, they witness Haven burn, accompanied by the screams and bellows of the Norn. Edwards stops and vomits, and is notably troubled when he spots blood amongst the fluid. Lupa places her hand on his shoulder, trying to pull him, but he throws her off. "What the fuck is happening" he says, "Why am I here?". When Lupa does not answer, he grabs her by the shoulders, "Why am I here?" he repeats, before he finally notices the deep scars on her throat. He lets go as he realizes, saying a single word "Mute?". She nods. Edwards sighs and lowers his head, "How long have I been here? *Where* is here?". Lupa sighs and holds up two fingers. Edwards says "Two days?" but Lupa shakes her head. Edwards appears shaken before saying "Two weeks?" and Lupa nods. Edwards pulls at his hair, "Fuck" he says. "How?" he asks. Lupa brings her hand to the side of her neck, and beckons him to do the same. He does so, and feels the injection sites on his neck. "The serum", he says, "It kept me asleep?". Lupa nods. "What is it?" he asks. Lupa shrugs her shoulders, then places her fist against her chest and beats it several times, mouthing the world "Rage". Edwards then asks "Where am I?" but Lupa does not respond. Edwards breathes slowly, rubbing his eyes repeatedly, before Lupa begins to walk away. Edwards asks her to wait, but Lupa only turns around and beckons him to follow.

They sprint up a nearby hill to get their bearings, and Lupa scans the horizon. Edwards looks behind them, and sees a dark figure standing in the tall grass. He takes a few steps to get a clearer look, but the figure disappears as he does so. Lupa grabs his arm and points to the horizon: the remains of a large town, overgrown by the nearby plains and bordered by thick forest. Lupa then opens her mouth and her throat convulses, before finally letting out a single word: "Home".

In the distance, they hear the chilling cries of a hunting party. Lupa cries and drags Edwards down the hill in the direction of the distant down, and dives for a nearby thicket of bushes. The two of them fall into the dirt, and listen as the sound of hoves approaches. A troop of warriors stops and searches, and Edwards reaches for his tomahawk. Lupa stops him, and brings her bloodly finger to her lips. The hunting party searches the bushes, and one stops mere inches from the two, before the lead hunter calls them away. As they ride away, Edwards and Lupa crawl from the dirt and crouch-run to another thicket, taking cover in the tall grass. One of the hunters, hearing their movements, turns away from the rest of his party and approaches the thicket, using his spear to probe the bushes. He passes Edwards and Lupa, and the girl throws herself to her feet and pulls the warrior off his horse and into the bushes. While Lupa holds him down, Edwards axes him in the head. Lupa takes the warrior's spear and climbs on his horse, helping the injured Edwards onto the back. The sounds attracts the attention of the other warriors. Lupa shakes her head and dismounts, forcing Edwards into the crude saddle while she switches to the back. Edwards forces the horse into a gallop, and the other warriors give chase.

Lupa points towards the overgrown town, and Edwards presses his legs into the horse's sides to accelerate. The first warrior approaches, but Lupa quickly dispatches him with her bow. A second warrior comes from the left, and Edwards presses the horse even harder. They begin to pull ahead, giving Lupa the angle to kill the second rider. The warriors at the back of the pack, riding faster horses, are given the space to catch up. Edwards steers the horse to the right, and jump over a ruined fence and onto an overgrown road. Seeing a set of overhead traffic lights, Edwards grabs his tomahawk and raises it above his head. He lifts himself out of the saddle and swings, easily carving through the rotten metal. The lights crash to the ground, causing one warrior to skid and his horse to fall on top of him. A fourth rider continues accelerating, while the fifth blows into a primitive war horn. Lupa fires her final arrow, catching the fourth rider directly in the chest. The fifth rider turns his horse and flees into the fields. Edwards looks back and together the new companions ride into the remnants of the town.

#### 'Monster'

Edwards and Lupa, still on the Norn horse, break through an overgrown military checkpoint, rushing into the limits of the overgrown town. They pass a welcome sign, but it is so overgrown that Edwards cannot read it. He asks Lupa where her people live, but she only shakes her head. Edwards grunts and looks ahead, quickly stopping the horse in its tracks with his feet, causing the horse to welp in pain. Lupa turns and sees the obstacle: a large delivery truck, overturned on its side and forced into place but overgrown bushes. "Fuck", Edwards says "Are they nearby?". To this, Lupa shakes her head. "You said this was home," Edwards replies, but Lupa makes no gesture. "Which way?" he says and Lupa points at the truck in response. "It's blocked," he says, but Lupa continues to point in the same direction. "It's not that fucking way!" Edwards growls, "We have to go around,". Lupa grabs his shoulder and sternly shakes her head, still pointing at the truck. "Your people are in the truck?" Edwards asks but Lupa shakes her head in frustration; she mouths the word "Over" several times. "Over the truck?" Edwards asks and Lupa nods. As they dismount, they hear a second war horn in the far distance, but the dense buildings make it difficult to know which direction it is coming from. "Go," says Edwards and he boosts Lupa up onto the truck, jumping up to take her hand. As Edwards reaches the top, a second horn bellows, this time deeper and more intense. Lupa pulls Edwards up with one hand and runs along the truck and through a broken cafe window, diving inside. Edwards stands up to try and survey the area, but Lupa beckons him to follow.

He dives into the cafe and is overtaken by an overwhelming scent of mould; Lupa, however, is nonplussed. She aims to take a set of stairs down, but Edwards stops her, "What is this place? Where are your people?" he says. Lupa does nothing to answer and turns to leave, but Edwards grabs her arm, "Answer me!" he growls. Lupa pulls her arm away and goes for her knife; Edwards reaches for his axe in response. Lupa, a look of frustration on her face, takes the knife to the flaking yellow walls and quickly etches the words "SOON. MEET. WATERFALL". Edwards nods "We're meeting your people here?". Lupa shakes her head and scratches "OTHER SIDE" onto the wall. She gives Edwards an angry look and proceeds down the creaking stairs. Edwards takes a quick glance at the writing and hesitates in following her. He takes one last glance out of the window, and is horrified to see a dusty cloud quickly approaching the town.

Edwards and Lupa navigate the ruins of several destroyed and overgrown buildings, eventually coming to a blockade of concrete and brick. Edwards requests that they find another route, but Lupa ignores him and goes prone, dragging herself underneath a concrete pillar. He asks what created so much destruction, and Lupa mimes an explosion before disappearing into the rubble. Edwards goes to his knees and watches her crawl through a small tunnel of brick and debris, and looks behind him to watch as the dust cloud gets closer. He says "Fuck it" and goes prone to follow her. He forces himself into the tunnel and remembers when he was in a similar situation many years ago. As he begins to crawl, his naked torso scrapes along the concrete, shredding his skin. He carries on and ignores the burning, grabbing onto a piece of rebar to pull himself closer to Lupa. His weight causes the rebar to dislodge, causing a slab of concrete to lower, narrowing the tunnel even further. The entire debris structure shifts, filling the tunnel with dust. Edwards coughs and his eyes start to water, but he continues to crawl forward, trying to keep his vision clear. He forces his head under the lowered concrete and then his shoulders, wriggling to get the rest of his body through and stripping away the top layers of his skin in several places. He stops to recover, clearing his vision and noticing a child's mouldy skull rested mere inches from his face, almost completely crushed. Edwards once more remembers a time in his past before moving on, finally seeing light. As he nears it, he hears the distinct sound of rushing water.

Edwards finally emerges and notices most of his torso has been skinned by the concrete and brick, but stands up and coughs up the dust. He turns to see Lupa, but his eyes are met by a scene of chaos: part of the road raised high above the rest of it, with a large waterfall gushing out of the exposed sewer pipe. He notices Lupa watching the water, entranced, before she turns to look at him, a smile on her face. After a second, her smile fades and she looks despondently at the ground. Edwards walks over to her, "Who did that to you?" he asks. Lupa's bloodstained hand goes to her throat and massages the scar tissue, before baring and snapping her teeth. Edwards sighs in sorrow and says "We'll kill him. We'll kill all of them,". She looks at him and smiles, nodding her head. She then looks just past him, and her smile quickly fades. She quickly reaches for her bow but realizes she has no more arrows. She grabs Edwards by the arm and forces him off to the side, where they take cover among the debris. As they hide, Lupa begins to breathe quickly, possibly in panic; she mouths the word "Monsters". Edwards peaks over to sees the four hooded figures enter the stream, all armed. The stench of rot follows their appearance, and Edwards looks up as the dust cloud hangs over them. Lupa continues to panic, and Edwards puts his hand on his shoulder to calm her. The lead figure orders the others to spread out, while it drops its torch into the water. Edwards gestures for Lupa to head around the right, while he takes the one on the left; they'll cross over and take the leader out together. Lupa breathes deep and nodes, and the two come out of cover. Lupa covers herself in the overgrown grass, while Edwards sneaks to a gutted bank, following his target. Armed with a bow, the figure checks around the bank, not noticing as Edwards takes cover behind a table. He removes his tomahawk from his belt, and creeps over to the figure. He raises himself up as he nears, raising the tomahawk above his head.

He is caught off guard as the warrior spins around and fires the arrow, the shaft embedding itself into Edwards' left shoulder. The shot forces him off balance, allowing the warrior to flank him and use its bow to choke him. Unable to breathe, Edwards acts by instinct and spins his tomahawk around, catching the warrior in the shoulder. Both wounded, the two of them circle each other. Edwards takes the chance to pull the arrow from his shoulder, before the warrior charges at him with a knife. Edwards dodges while clutching his shoulder, blocking a second strike with his axe. He dodges a few more strikes before catching the knife with his tomahawk, using the curvature of the blade to spin the knife out of the warrior's hands. He launches a kick, pushing the warrior out of the bank and onto the ruined road. As Edwards rushes toward it, he notices as Lupa slits the throat of her target, before rushing the leader. He brings his axe down on his own target, but the warrior blocks the blow with a long dagger. It forces itself up and uses the momentum to throw a punch, knocking Edwards down and off the ledge into the stream. Winded, he has only seconds to roll to the side as the leader brings its own knife down on him. Edwards clutches a stone with his free hand, bashing the leader around the head and knocking it to the ground. He stands as the other warrior comes down, using its knife in a flurry to cut Edwards' arms. Exhausted, he cannot duck as the warrior knocks him down, kicking his tomahawk away.

Before it can kill him, Lupa charges the warrior, who reacts fast enough to dodge and deliver a punch to her temple. As she falls, she hits her head on an exposed root. Edwards uses the distraction to reach for his tomahawk, spin over and throw it into the warrior's head, spewing blood, bone and brain over the ground and turning the stream red. The warrior drops to its knees, still alive and its hood still covering its face. As Edwards pulls the tomahawk from the warrior's head, he feels a sharp sting in his ribs. He feels his body go cold and looks down. Imbedded in his ribs is a single metal arrow.

He grabs the shaft of the arrow and drops his tomahawk, falling to his knees. He looks up to see the leader, who begins to approach him, throwing its bow to the side. The leader kicks Edwards onto his back and stands over him. It removes his hood, revealing a bald head of pure white and teeth sharpened to fangs. The creature spits out "Tar na sheraf, Mye'Akal!" before removing a knife from under its cloak. It raises the dagger above its head, but immediately drops it as an arrow is driven through its neck, spewing blood all over Edwards. He looks to the side to avoid the worst of it, and sees Lupa still unconscious on the ground. He hears several screams of agony all around him, accompanied by a series of furious bellows and yelps. The white creature falls beside Edwards, and he sees a figure pick up the creature's knife and drive it through its temple. Edwards looks up at his saviour, a man dressed in torn, ragged clothing, who ignores him and sprints over to Lupa, cradling her head in his arms. She regains consciousness, and says a single word: "Seth". Edwards looks back up the dirty sky and reaches for the arrow shaft, attempting to pull it out. Another hand reaches out and stops him; the figure, revealed to be Jules, warns him not to touch the arrow, speaking with a strong British accent. Through his foggy vision, Edwards sees several people, all wielding bows and arrows, clear out the approaching walkers. Edwards gives one last look over at Lupa, who stares at him in horror before he finally passes out. As he does so, he has a vision of the Wrinkled Woman, her face torn off and the burnt corpse of a child cradled in her arms.

## Relationships

### Lupa

"*Wolf..."
 "No. Here, this is yours now. From wolf...to wolf,*"
—Lupa and Edwards separate before the massacre of the Pale Men[src]
Edwards and Lupa become allies due to their mutual captivity at the hands of the Norn, an alliance that grows into a much deeper bond due to their shared experience and similar trauma. Over the course of their journey, Lupa begins to demonstrate similar personality traits to Edwards, perhaps seeing him as the father figure that she lost in her youth. Edwards himself appears to hold a fatherly affection for Lupa, comforting her when she talks about her past. Edwards appears to be protective of Lupa, in a similar role he played to younger characters such as Charlotte in the main series.

## Trivia

* Edwards is the only character from the original series who physically appears in *The Fatal Frontier*.
* *The* *Fatal Frontier* will be Edwards' first living appearance since '*We Find Ourselves*' and his first appearance overall since '*The Better World*'.
* Edwards has the greatest number of injuries out of any character in the series:
	+ A circle of scars on his forehead sustained from his battle with Andre Mitchell.
	+ A long scar on his neck from Andre's machete.
	+ A flesh wound on the side of his head - a luckily missed headshot.
	+ He has a prominent scar on his left cheek from his fight with Francis in Hopeville.
	+ He has a scar on his left shoulder, again from Francis, during their fight in the boathouse.
	+ His right hand was badly broken while fighting Trapp and the other bandits, smashed against a tree. Although the bones have since healed, they have ached ever since. He sometimes has to wrap his hand in bandages to straighten the knucklebones so he can make a fist.
	+ A large range of scars over his arms, legs, torso and back. Sustained from a wolf pack attack that nearly spelt the end of him in Bennington National Park. Even in his middle and late ages, these scars are still prominent.
	+ His most prominent injury is his 'crippled' eye; the area around his right eye is snow-pale, the white of the eye is red, and the iris has turned yellow. This injury nearly caused him brain aneurysms on several occasions, especially in the earlier seasons. He wore an eyepatch over the injury from *Season 3* to *Season 6*.
	+ His heart was nearly removed from his chest during his battle against Bart Rhodes, leaving a scar just above his heart.
	+ He lost his middle toe on his left foot during his fight with Tannerson; the injury forced him to adopt a natural limp to maintain balance.
	+ He lost his left ear after part of it was bitten by a walker and he was forced to remove it to prevent it from affecting him.
	+ His leg was broken during the final minutes of the Battle of Archangel, resulting in his using a mechanical leg brace and his sword-cane.
		- Although he is able to walk without his cane just using his leg brace, in order to do this he must keep the brace painfully tight.
			* In the '*New Age*' Extension, his leg was re-broken by Sarah Terringham, rendering this leg brace useless.
	+ Edwards has a scar on his abdomen from when he was stabbed by Victor Valkyrie and a burn on his left arm from when he subsequently destroyed the tanker at the Battle of the Two Bridges.
	+ He loses most of his left forearm in the series finale, having been bitten on his hand and Antony Eden subsequently damaging it beyond repair causing Edwards to amputate it, although Eden was unaware of the otherwise fatal injury.
		- Edwards would later say that Eden "did him a favour".
		- It was revealed in February 2019 that Edwards was originally supposed to lose his left hand during the Battle of Archangel, but this was scrapped as the writing team decided that Edwards had become disabled enough already.
* Over the course of *The Fatal Frontier*, Edwards has had flashbacks and hallucinations involving characters and events from before *TFF* takes place.
	+ Memories include:
		- Crawling through the air vents before the Second Hometown Uprising in "*An Iron Fist*".
		- Fighting Tannerson in *Season 6* and subsequently losing two toes on his left foot.
		- His execution of Holly to prevent reanimation after her death in "*Last Day on Earth*".
	+ Hallucinations include:
		- Being stabbed in the heart (instead of the chest) by Bart Rhodes.
		- Holly, Charlotte and Bethany being tortured by the Norn.
