**Edred** is a main character in *Unicorn: Warriors Eternal*. He is a warrior elf and a member of a group of heroes known as Unicorn who have reincarnated for millennia. Their latest incarnations had been accidentally reawakened too early which put them in the bodies of teenagers, and damaged their memories and powers.

## Appearance

Edred is a elf with long, pointed ears, light blue skin and long white hair. His original incarnation wore silver armor adorned with leaves. Through the ages, his later incarnations would vary in appearance with noticeable physical differences and attires.

Edred's current incarnation is a stage magician known as Dimitri Dynamo. In this form, he wears Dimitri's Russian kaftan, black pants and boots.

## Personality

Upon his awakening, Edred's memories are more intact compared to the other two members of Unicorn, though they are still said to be somewhat clouded. He is brave, noble, and unrelenting as he fiercely fights against any threat that comes his way. He is heavily in love with Melinda, and would do anything and everything for her. Edred heavily dislikes Winston, due to his affections toward Melinda in her new form. Edred is known to be quite petty and quick to defense when it comes to his love for Melinda, even resorting to making back handed remarks at Winston. He exudes an air of sosphistication, and takes pride in his elven heritage.

## History

Edred was born to the Elf King of the Northern Elves. Originally he was to be married off to Thraen's daughter to secure an alliance between the Northern and Eastern Elves. However Edred had already fallen in love with Melinda and refused to go through with the marriage, he left soon after.

In Ancient Egypt, Edred along with Melinda and Seng fight the Evil. After defeating it Edred tends to an injured Melinda who tells him about a voice she hasn’t heard in a long time. Merlin appears shortly after, informing the group of the plan to reincarnate their souls through a summoned Copernicus from the future to fight the Evil as the Order of Unicorn.

Over 1000 years later, Unicorn possess multiple people to fight the Evil throughout history. Meanwhile Edred’s original body is left alive in stasis.

In their latest reincarnation in London 1890, Edred possesses Dmitri Dynamo. Edred however is distraught that Melinda whose host is Emma Fairfax doesn’t remember who Edred is and isn’t in love with him.

## Relationships

### Melinda

Since before the first episode, Edred and Melinda have been in a romantic relationship. How the relationship began is unknown. They both refer to each other as "My love".

The relationship has become a bit more complicated thanks to the premature reawakening, with the host of Melinda, Emma Fairfax, not only having romantic feelings for someone else, but having no memory of her relationship with Edred. This is shown when Emma rejects his affections, first pushing him away after he kissed her, and retorting that she is not "his love".
